Medusa, the goddess of darkness, is back. From the voice acting, the humor, the story, and the mechanics-everything about Kid Icarus: Uprising is a pleasant surprise that vastly improves on the source material and brings forth a stand-out title. The platforming mechanics have been totally scrapped for a a third-person shooter mixed with an action/adventure.

Kid Icarus: Uprising takes a fresh, new approach to the franchise Pit is no longer a two-dimensional silent protagonist, as he is now a chatterbox full of personality and attitude. Many fans, myself included, believed that Pit’s addition into Smash Bros was Nintendo’s way of hinting onto a revamped Kid Icarus. Speculation began to grow as to why Nintendo would include an old character with a fresh look if they didn’t have something else going on in the background. It wasn’t until Pit was re-introduced in Super Smash Bros Brawl that any interest began to gather for the long forgotten game.

Kid Icarus seemed to fade into ancient memory. I myself was unable to get very far and, like most fans at the time, abandoned Kid Icarus altogether in favor of the vastly more popular Legend of Zelda. The platformer was extremely difficult and frustrating beyond words so it was understandable that the game had a small following. The game revolved around Pit, a young angel warrior defending the heavenly realm against horrific monsters from the underworld. The original Kid Icarus was released in 1986 and saw only moderate success as a title.
