    “Kid icarus?” *lights cigar “Haven’t heard that name in years”
  • @NotaWalrus1
    Me during KI:U's fake ending: "Yeah that game was alright" Me during the real ending: "This game is a masterpiece"
  • @gr2093
    Why Kid Icarus is a masterpiece: 1. Hades 2. Soundtrack 3. Hades
  • Sakurai: makes a great reboot for a dead franchise Nintendo: cracks whip i don't remember telling you to stop making smash bros boy
  • @thejankster2392
    “Brawl’s story didn’t have any character arcs.” R.O.B: “Am I a joke to you?”
  • @Bashuraptor
    "Don't you insult Kirby Lore" "Okay" I'm dead
  • @digi_quez1115
    Who else believes Dark Pit is heavily underrated. I personally think he’s one of the best anti heroes and his mini redemption felt honest
  • @topino1262
    Speaking about sakurai's attention to detail: in uprising there's a mechanic that stales your dodges the more you use them. In ssbu that mechanic was translated into smash's rolls and when sakurai showcased it in the ultimate trailer. They used pit as the example. That man is a genius

    I shed a tear of joy everytime someone praises Kid Icarus: Uprising, it's my favorite game
  • @Shadrio
    Kid Icarus Uprising is probably one of the games that mosts deserving of a re-release. I played it on the 3DS years ago and loved every moment of it, and it's a damn shame most people haven't enjoyed it due to the controls being honestly awful, mostly due to the limitations of the hardware. EDIT: Just FYI, I personally didn't have many problems getting used to the controls, but I've lent out the game to many people and most come back saying that they abandoned the game because of the controls. A Switch port (now that we know that 3DS Ports could become a thing with the recent Miitopia port) could definitely fix that issue for so many.

    I’ve been studying Greek mythology for about 3-4 years and I love seeing all of the references. Even if games keep getting Hades wrong, I can’t deny that Kid Icarus’s Hades is the best interpretation of the evil version of Hades
  • @kingdanett4043
    Imagine Kid Icarus Remastered on the switch, with splatoon style controls, HD models, character portraits showing up on the screen you're looking at, the multi-player but more balanced, maybe even another arc added onto the end. I want to see this so much that it makes me want to learn how to program so I could make an infinity engine for kid icarus instead of sonic
  • @zwarrior1
    Every day Kid Icarus Uprising isn't ported to Switch is a darker day for the world
  • @lasercraft32
    People who haven't played Kid Icarus: "Dark Pit is a mediocre edgy stereotype..." People who have played Kid Icarus: "Dark Pit is my child I will kill you for saying such blasphemy!"
  • @Codricmon
    “Pit.“ “Hades.“ “Pit!“ “Hades!“ “Pit!!“ “Hades!!“ “PIT!!!“ “HADES!!!“ “PIIIIIIIIIT!!!“ “HAAADEEEEEES!!!“ “... Pit...“ “... Hades...“ “LET'S DO THIS!“
  • @medicburdy7791
    It truly makes me happy that people still talk about this game.
  • @ricesneeze7107
    Video Spoiler: My guy put the Hades segment after the ad plug. What a Palutena-tier madlad.
