You've been playing as Pit in
Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and now rumors abound about Nintendo reviving the little angel's long-forgotten
Kid Icarus series.
For our latest Game Club, we're revisiting the original NES title. Opinions continue to be extremely mixed on this game. Is it a worthy classic that deserves new life or is it a busted relic that deserves to be left in the past? Share your thoughts here.
You can play
Kid Icarus on the NES (of course) or pick it up for 500 points on the Virtual Console. Just be aware that the VC version doesn't support the handy cheat passwords from the NES original. Considering how difficult the game is, you might need those, too. If you're super-hardcore, you can play
KI on on the GBA if you've imported the game's Japan-only release as a part of the
Famicom Mini collection.

In Episode 64 we spent a lengthy amount of time talking about Star Tropics, Nintendo's modern-day-ish action-adventure title for the 8-bit NES. Released for Christmas 1990, the game was (oddly) developed specifically for the US and European markets. Never came out in Japan.
So, let's discuss Star Tropics here. What do you remember of the game? Did you like it? Do you think it still holds up? What's your opinion of the god AWFUL control?
Nintendo released the game on the Wii's Virtual Console on 1/7/08.
