/vr/ - Retro Games

Git Gud

the reality is nobody gave a shit about this game until it was mentioned in smash bros

It's like Metroid lite where you go up instead of going down.

Get rekd, all Yokoi games are good games.

If you play more than just the first few stages, you realize it's more than that.
Kid Icarus has vertical and also side-scrolling stages, more reminiscent of games like Castlevania than Metroid.
The dungeons are like a mix of Zelda II and Metroid though.

>>3737231
Nicely put, it's a mix of a Gradius, Zelda 2 and Metroid.

>>3737187
Are you 日本人?

>>3737251
He's not, a japanese person posting in english on an english image board wouldn't use "kusoge".

OP is just trying to bait as much as he can. Probably tried Kid Icarus on an emulator, got frustrated because of the high difficulty and low health bar and came to vent here.

>>3737251
prolly english teacher, or a korean immigrant

>>3737212

Hello literal child

>>3737251
Yeah

>>3737254
Not emulater.
I have the rial game.
I brought the upper photograph from the Internet.
I have ever cleared the game.
However, the game must be kuso-game.

>pretending to be japanese on 4chan.
>not even using unicode.

>>3737271
>Denying this basic reality that nobody cared about a shitty game
Next you're gonna tell me shit like Clu Clu Land and Urban Champion were hot NES games back then.

>>3737283
Those weird unicode characters that Japanese people use automatically convert to normal font on 4chan now because the coder is a cunt who hates fun

>>3737301


NANTE?

>>3737329
huh, it's true.

still OP is a faggot and not asian.

>>3737284

Don't talk about shit you weren't around for. Kid Icarus was ine of the first games I ever owned and several of my friends also had copies. It was a million seller.

Kid Icarus was seen as a sister game to Metroid, was popular enough to get cameos in Tetris and F1, and Pit was a major character in Captain N, and the game gor a sequel in the Gameboy. The game featured in the Nintendo Power guide that fucking everyone had.

Was it Mario bros.? No, but people were very aware of Kid Icarus at the time.

>>3737284
Except that Kid Icarus was immensely popular, do much that it got two supporting characters (Pit and Eggplant Wizard) in Captain N.

If you aren't old enough to remember the time, don't pretend that you did.

>>3737416
>Because I had it everyone else also had it
Quality logic there kid, I had Frogger 2 that must make it a cultural phenomenon that absolutely everyone had.

>Pit was a major character in Captain N
Ah yes the massive market juggernaut that was Captain fucking N, that's what really cemented Kid Icarus in the world all over

>and the game gor a sequel in the Gameboy
>Implying this is an indication of anything except that it got a sequel that nobody also played

>>3737427

Yeah a game that sold millions, was valued by the company as a character with the star power of Mega Man and Simon Belmont and got a sequel is totally obscure brah. Chuck at Gamestop told me no one heard of it and everyone just played Mario all the time so it must be true

>>3737427
Yeah, Captain N was a big fucking deal for the gamers back then. Fuck off child, I got better things to do than argue about a time I actually lived through and you pretend to know through wikipedia and youtube.

>>3737427
Popular or not, Kid Icarus is a good game.
Get good, OP.

>>3737462
>Yeah, Captain N was a big fucking deal for the gamers back then
>My shitty nostalgia cartoon was a big deal for everyone

>>3737467
It's such a good game that nobody remembered it

>>3737502

There should be an age limit for posting on /vr/

>>3737502
>It's such a good game that nobody remembered it

Well, you made a post about it.
Just keep trying, once you get past the first couple levels, and if you don't suck at gathering the powerups, game should be a little less punishing. By the end of the game you will have upgraded health bar and arrows and the game won't be as intimidating, I promise.
At least try to make it to the first dungeon and try to beat it, if by then you're not hooked in the game, then just move on I guess.

>>3737518
>Being this upset not everybody thinks your shit game was any good or memorable until it got a mention in a much more popular much better game
I think you're the only child here

>>3737528

I's really appreciate it if you'd stop being retarded on purpose. We have plenty of other boards for that.

>>3737502
Post a pic of a driver's license or passport (obviously cover certain info to not get doxed, not that anybody would care) or we can just assume you're a child and that's that.

>>3737535
He could use his brother/dad's.

There's no point in accusing him, he probably is underaged, but he could also be a 18+ retard, not that uncommon either.

>>3737535
>Implying I'm actually gonna do that just to placate some manchild stuck in the past on the internet
Surely you can't be this autistic about somebody not agreeing with your myopic nostalgic view about a terrible game

Remember folks, the "ignore" part of "ignore and report" is the most important part when dealing with shitposters! Arguing with them just shits up the board, and they don't believe what they're saying anyways.

Thank you, and have a nice day, anons!

>>3737540
18+?

To be able to speak on authority about what happened in the 80s, you should be early 30s at very least.

>>3737534
>Disagreeing with people is being retarded on purpose
There are other forums on the internet you can go to if you want a hugbox where everybody circlejerks and thinks everything Nintendo ever made was a social phenomenon

>>3737558
>muh anti-nintendo bias!

go to bed, australia-kun.

>>3737558

Well, if you won't stop, I can't force you. I wish you'd shit up a different board though. Have a good day.

>>3737552
You're right! Why engage in a discussion on a public forum when it's much more productive to just plug my ears and close my eyes and pretend my opinion on something is the objective fact accepted by everybody!

step aside trollkid

Did you guys know that Miyamoto's love for his vertical platformer (kid Icarus) directly resulted in the US version of Super Mario Brothers 2?

It's true. DDP started as a co-op vert stacking platformer that Miyamoto liked and suggested the expansions to then fell in love with so much he believed it should be a truer sequel to SMB

>>3737569
>engage in discussion

With a shitposter whose only argument is "this game is shit"?

>>3737554
>To be able to speak on authority about what happened in the 80s, you should be early 30s at very least.
I'll tell you what happened in the 80's, Kid Icarus got ONE game, which was a flash in the pan game that Nintendo would put out just like Donkey Kong Jr or Clu Clu Land or Ice Climbers, you know other games that were forgotten shortly afterwards but you'll probably pretend were big huge deals in their day just because Nintendo made them because despite claiming to be far older you still defend your favorite video games on the internet like you're still 12 years old. The huge difference between Kid Icarus and something like Zelda or Castlevania or Megaman is that those games actually got SEQUELS, which kept them relevant in the public eye. But of course you'll just flippantly deny this very basic fact and keep insisting your shit nostalgia for this piece of crap and it's sudden public interest is a measure of it being a good lasting game, rather than it getting a shoutout from Smash Bros (FUN FACT: the reason Nintendo even included Pit or Ice Climbers in Smash Bros was because they wanted to revive interest in old, one shot NES games that were forgotten. Hmmmm isn't that interesting since according to you Kid Icarus was always a huge multimillion dollar franchise beloved by everyone ever)

>>3737591
>the reason Nintendo even included Pit or Ice Climbers in Smash Bros was because they wanted to revive interest in old, one shot NES games that were forgotten

Ah yeah man, I remember Ice Climber Extreme Summit, best game on the Gamecube, but it's not retro.

>>3737593

Seriously stop replying to him

>>3737195
/thread

OP got nasty mad because the game kicked his ass.

>>3737591
>Donkey Kong Jr
Holy shit talk about jumping the shark. DKJr was on every platform, including both a Game & Watch and a Mattel mini-cab. The character appeared in most DK related media and went on to be officially be the modern DK character.

>>3737593
What the hell are you talking about you nut?

>>3737597
>Seriously stop acknowledging different opinions exist just circlejerk all day.
Pathetic.

Here you go you big fucking babies, I actually had to go out and show you how obscure this piece of shit was. First image on the left shows that Sakurai doesn't choose retro characters based on popularity, just on whether or not they'd be easy to make into fighters, image on the right is a third party source that says that yes - this game series was obscure until it got a popularity boost from Brawl and so that's why they started actually making new sequels to this garbage.

In other words, go cry yourselves to sleep, manchildren.

>>3737632

They made a sequel in 1991 you fucking retard

The game sold millions

>>3737634
>HURRR DURR IM RETARDED AND DIDN'T READ THE IMAGE
Typical Nintendofag, responding on emotion and not logic.

>>3737636

I'm a dyed in blue Segafag

Fuck this, arguing with retards only makes you look retarded, I'm out.

>>3737548
>terrible game
Nah, now you're just being extremist.

>>3737657
No, being wrong makes you look retarded.

And you look pretty retarded

When I was a kid I watched Captain N. I don't know how popular it was throughout the country, but where I lived some other kids I knew would talk about it. Nintendo was just a general interest kind of thing for me, I wasn't obsessive about the NES and I never played Kid Icarus, but I did know about it. When I got a Nintendo Power subscription after the SNES came out, I do recall "Super Kid Icarus" being a pretty "wanted" game, so the original had to pique some interest. Since it didn't happen, I think that is probably why people are saying Kid Icarus is some obscure game character. Kind of like if Super Metroid didn't happen (then there would possibly only be Metroid on NES and GB, like Kid Icarus on NES and GB). Concerning the kids I knew who did play Kid Icarus on NES, they probably didn't end up caring too much about games overall, but if you'd ask them I'm sure they would remember Kid Icarus without his Smash Bros appearances.. Yeah yeah, these are just my experiences, but I'd imagine they are fairly similar to many who grew up during that time period with the NES.
