It is just not happening for me. All the stereotypes people have about NES games in terms of aging poorly and being needlessly obtuse in places are ever present in this game. It's constantly playing clown music at you for daring to play the game normally. I cannot be bothered to make it past 1-2, so I won't leave a score just in case it becomes secretly amazing after that, but I seriously want nothing to do with this game after every couple years tricking myself into trying it again. Thank god Uprising exists otherwise the Kid Icarus series would just be unsalvageable.

@EmanuelPerez I have to disagree here, I love a lot of NES games even when they are as obtuse as this, but in Kid Icarus none of what I’m doing is interesting or fun enough to motivate me to continue going against the shit it throws at me.
Update: disgusting that this is the game Mario plays in the movie. man has absolutely no taste
