Retro Game Club Discussion Thread - 09 - Kid Icarus [community]
 
Gui came down with a case of Lazy Bum so he asked me to make this thread while he recovers. Wish him well!


The following brave centurions have sworn to fight and die (mostly die) in the service of great Palutena:
@warerare
@Guillaume

@Shadowlink

Only one mighty warrior has served a tour in the Underworld and was man enough to re-enlist. They call him @anon_mastermind!


And special thanks to @kriswright for his excellent survival guide! Check it out if you want to keep your death count under four digits!


Add the game to your collection, start it, and discuss your experience!

Also, don't forget you can pre-order Kid Icarus: Uprising from participating retailers in the U.S. to get 3D Classics: Kid Icarus for free! That way, you can participate in this month's Retro Game Club! I recommend Amazon.com, as you can get release-day shipping for just a buck! A BUCK! It's madness!

@nate38 I just finished 3-4 and barely escaped the Eggplant Wizards. That means I survived the game without being turned once! I'll go back to the game after watching some TV.

Just finished the game! My score and time are:

Score: 244,700
Time: 1 hour, 47 minutes

Ack, is Kid Icarus up tonight?

This thread: out of sight, out of mind. No good, sir.


Still stuck on 3-4.

YOU CAN DO IT STACHE.

Are you making a map on paper? I could never have made it through 3-4 without a map...screw those useless in-game things.

If you want the path I used to go straight to the boss, I'll post it in spoilers here:
From start: down x3, left, up x5, left, down, left, up x2, then just keep going right until you get there (it's right after the shop).

If you need to hit the hospital for eggplant removal (I always did, there always seemed to be an unavoidable eggplant when dropping down to the second or third screen):
From start: down x3, right, up, right x2 will get you to the hospital. Then to the boss: Left x2, down, left x2, up x5, left, down, left, up x2, then just keep going right until you get there (it's right after the shop).


And yeah, I feel like this RGC could be extended a bit. People are probably busy playing KIU to get to the original and/or whatever retro game we pick next. I'm down with moving on to a new game for April, but I'm also very cool with holding off for a few weeks.

Edited: 04/01/12, 04:35
Yeah, extend it!

I have the basic gist of that stage. I got Eggplanted last week and I just kept going forward, and I stumbled into the boss room, ugh. What a slap in the face. I won't worry about it tonight then; I'll log some more hours tomorrow.

BUMP

Anybody still playing? Stache? Gui? Bueller?
04/04/12, 02:40   
@nate38

I didn't hit it this weekend, sorry. I'll get more in. Do you have a deadline on this thing? When would you like to be done by? Week after Easter? BY Easter?
04/04/12, 02:48   
TONIGHT OR YOU'RE BANNED
04/04/12, 02:52   
@nate38

What the F! But I've put so much stuff in the database!
04/04/12, 02:55   
TONIGHT OR ALL THAT STUFF GETS DELETED
04/04/12, 02:57   
@nate38

I made the Fire Emblem Path of Radiance entry! Without that, Fire Emblem Club collapses!

Your demands are unreasonable, and the fate of Negative World as a whole rests at your fingertips.
04/04/12, 03:05   
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised.

I'll keep playing, but I already have the Fire Emblem game club to catch up with while preparing to embarrass myself publicly at PAX.
04/04/12, 06:30   
@Guillaume

Just play Pac-Man. You won't embarrass yourself.
04/04/12, 06:31   
For Nate38 the Dictator:

Score: 734300
Time: Way too long

Never again. Well, probably not. I have a password for a souped up dude, so maybe..
04/04/12, 09:07   
@Mr_Mustache
It would be pretty bold of Gui to Pac-Mansturbate in front of a crowd.
04/04/12, 18:07   
What the F, Nate! Put me in the AWESOMER section!!


@Anand

You KNOW he's going to whip it out and shoot his stuff all over the place. Everyone is going to LOVE it though. LOVE IT.
04/04/12, 23:48   
Edited: 04/04/12, 23:49
@Mr_Mustache

I propose a new awesomest section- Those who have beaten the game on 3DS.

Make it happen Nate.
04/05/12, 00:47   
I think Nate should be banned. --Oh, maybe thats why he isn't posting..
04/05/12, 00:48   
I wasn't posting because I was out working. Also my job is SAVING THE WORLD so just back off and let me do my thing.

For all your impatience, you're going to get added to a whole new list.
04/05/12, 01:00   
@nate38

Is it a list like this?

ShadowLink's Enemies

Dark Samus
The Australian Government

EDIT: NVM, just saw your edit of the OP. I'll add him to this list if you want me to though .
