Kid Icarias

[dragonfire]

Who here owns Kid Icaris? It is a NES game and on the wiis virual consule. Before I get farther, let me state.
This has nothing to do with the Wii so don't merge it. It might contain a question mentioning the wii but nothing more!


Kid Icaris is a very hard game. I downloaded it last month and am on level 1-3. I have a question. Whats with the password combo you get when you die? Is that a save mechinism? Do you own it on the Nes, Wii, or both.[/u]

I can only assume you havn't played many NES games.

Yes, that's a save mechanism. Before games could save themselves, they had passwords.

Besides ports and mario I have never played a NES game. I have never even seen one in person. You are 14. How have you played one? My first consule was 64.

My first personal console was a SNES, and my dad has a NES.

I love your dad! (JK)


Thats cool your dad was a gamer. The wii is making my dad one now.

[johnny139]

He wasn't, really. He got it as a gift from his friend. He is, however, a trekkie. He's seen every episode at least three times, and owns every episode on tape.

[dragonfire]

My dad is a trekkie also. He doesnt own them but he can probably rebuild a working starship enterprise by now. Without working bathrooms because they have shown them 2-3 times.

Shouldn't this be in the Wii VC thread?

[dragonfire]

No. Thats what I said in the begining. it is more about the original. i am asking about the original not the wii. If someone mentions the wii, thats ok though.

I owned that game as a kid and it was one of my favorites. you see the prob is Dragon you are dealing with those games which actually took skill :wink:

[dragonfire]

I am mad. I was on 1-3 and i pressed power by accedint. I have to start on 1-1. Good thing I have passwords. Ohh wait, my mom threw my password sheet out. :evil:

Is it true it is better to kill enemys, not avoid? Maybe its best I start over.

kid icarus iis for me a bad game(it is call icarus in germany) i heard so long a great game but i have never play it and no i got it it s u c ks :evil:

because in the old games i played the gb game from kid icarus and this game was awsome (have you play it?)

aus iplay the nes version i think ok letst get up an kill some enemys and "go back" but if you go down you die, if i jump right i came out left, i mean this game was after mario.

but now the gb version is the supremer.

I love playing this game as a kid. Kid Icarus is dang hard and I probably would never be able to beat the game if it wasn't on my nes emulator.

Ok, think this game needs skill to play think again. If you go to a kid icarus faq on gamefaqs.com the guy there will explain everything about this game in detail. Let me see what I can remember....

In order to get the arrow (power) upgrades the game takes a formula based on your hit %. So everytime you miss you get some sort of penalty. If you want all the power upgrades then you have to pick your shots. Don't miss. When I read the faq I was surprised that so much mathematics was taken into effect on a nes game.

Makes me want to go back and play Contra.

[Su_Nan]

Ah. Just had to go back and beat Kid Icarus on the emulator. Check that off my list.
