KID ICARUS OMG YES

[DragonmasterDan]

Oh yeah; I watched Captain N as a kid. I couldn't afford an NES so It was f*cking awesome. Belmont was a prissy bitch, Icarus had a speech impediment that made listening to him a task. I mean, who the hell puts the work "Icarus" after the end of every f*cking sentence!?!? Megaman was also impressively retarded.

Speaking of which, that show didn't even get the character name right. The main character in Kid Icarus is Pit. Not "Kid Icarus" like that show called him.

Blast Corp for 64? That game was awesome but a sleeper hit.

The reason it fell into Obscurity for 20 years was Gumpei Yokoi who produced the first two games in the series created the Virtual Boy, was exiled from Nintendo. And died shortly thereafter.

If my timeline is correct, he left Nintendo 10 years after Kid Icarus went on sale. I think it if was a huge hit they would have moved a little quicker than that.

It's probably been THE most requested franchise revival in all of gaming the past 15 or so years.

...how does one keep track of such things? Also, what hasn't been revived? Something's going to be #1 most wanted, it doesn't mean its all that wanted.

Of course now it is. They could have made Blast Corps the 3DS launch game it would have sold a bajillion copies...

That show had it right, nevermind that Pit shit.

I refuse to call Ryu Ree-You too.  It is Rye-Ew.

I refuse to call Ryu Ree-You too.  It is Rye-Ew.

Both of those pronunciations are wrong anyway!

You also prefer Saturn and TG-16 games with shitty covers to the real deal, so this isn't surprising. Now we know where those consultancies that test focus groups get their weirdo subjects from.

You're the reason Blade Runner was narrated!

Seriously kid, that show was f*cking horrible. Not horrible in the way that all 80s TV cartoons were horrible, but extra special horrible. Even a 10 year old could tell his favorite game characters were being whored out in a completely cynical manner...assuming he could even recognize them with the extra stupid way they were represented it that show. Who designed this shit, the mouth breathing fat kid's mom? They didn't didn't get Kid Icarus right. They didn't get anything right.

Ryu is a tricky one. Using a straight up correct pronunciation in an American setting (where the "r" sounds almost like a "d" makes you sound like an ota douche.

Its the same with "karaoke". So many Americans (ie: every one) pronounce this incorrectly...in a way that doesn't even make any sense. How do you get "cary" out of "kara" anyway? Regardless, if you say it the right way, no one will know WTF you are talking about. The purpose of language is to communicate, right? You're better off slaughtering it. Karaoke is just a bunch of horrible shit anyway, so who gives a shit? Its not like you're mispronouncing "kabuki" or "Kurosawa".

"Reeyoo" is one blended syllable is probably the best compromise. If it were pronounced like the stinky bread it would be "rai", not "ry". Japanese already has fewer sounds that English so if you are pronouncing two different sounds the same way then obviously you're being stupid.
