I didn't hear about this game until like 3 years ago, and I'm playing it for the first time. Fairly epic. If you want, talk about other classic games your playing for the first time.

I still love Kid Icarus, despite its inverse difficulty curve and all the little things in the game that seems to be done specifically to annoy you.

I haven't played that in a log time, but I remember it being hard as hell.

its a weird kinda grind game where you get a max health boost at the end of each level based on how many enemies youve killed, so the early levels are way harder

What are you even booing here?

It seems hard and there's a lot of weird items but I have the 3D Classics version so
I guess I might as well try to beat it.

kid icarus is what happens when you want to make a game that's sorta like metroid but you preemptively hate everyone that's going to play it

A shame you can't yell into your NES controller, at the merchant. You could try.

The thing where just pressing down on some platforms makes you drop through them instead of down and jump is killing me a lot.
