message: It's been editted. I poke around the video game parts of Wikipedia, and some moron added his comments while deleting the plot. Might as well put the plot back up and permentally lock it. It's not gonna change. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.71.32.121 (talk) 23:08, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

message: What's is the meaning of chaning back to 1986. Kid Icarus was made in 1981 not 1986. Those were the years Nintendo was computerized stickers from 1981-1985. Donkey Kong was computerized, so was Donkey Kong Jr., Mario and etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.196.178.200 (talk) 20:02, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

message: TOSE was definitely involved as they leased contracted programmers to Nintendo often. The company did a lot of subcontracting work for Nintendo (and SEGA, Namco, etc). But the game was very much a Nintendo R&D1 game.

message: In my travels, this game has a notorious reputation for being one of the most difficult games in video game history... even to this day. By comparison, Battletoads mentions it's reputation as a difficult game, but I've beaten it. I still cannot beat Kid Icarus. - tbone (talk) 23:32, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Difficulty 

message: The article introduces the main character as "Pit", but then all of a sudden starts referring to him interchangeably as "Finley" without any explanation or introduction. What's up with that? --HunterZ (talk) 17:43, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Finley? 

message: The article should probably link to putto, if the main character is one. My intuition says yes, but who knows.

message: There are two things that one might think of when they think of this - the video game and the band [which is far less significant]. The series page, while it exists, is really redundant to this. The NES game is the root of all the series' influence; no one remembers Of Myths and Monsters, so it seems silly to suggest that as a brand, it's more well-known than the game. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 05:17, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That there is an incredibly less well-known sequel and a rumoured Wii sequel does not warrant the existence of a series page. The series page is, basically, this page rewritten. Hell, the Reception section is nothing BUT content related to the original game. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 17:23, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

*Support. The only other things with the name Kid Icarus are sequels and a band that takes its name from this game. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 04:26, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Survey

message: "Kid Icarus (series)" currently redirects here. While it has made sense before, I believe the announcement of a third Kid Icarus game is enough to warrant Kid Icarus as big enough a franchise to deserve an article dedicated to the series as a whole. I believe such an article should be made and 'Kid Icarus (series)' should no longer redirect here.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Juan7077 (talk • contribs) 05:50, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I think Nintendo is gonna run with Kid Icarus, like DK, Mario, Link, Kirby, Samus, Pikachu, etc.
I'd be nice to see him more than 6(KI,KI:MoM,KI GB,SSBM,SSBB,KI:U) times over the course of 24 years.
 *sigh* Pit, your alright. Uprising is so amazing, it makes you in the 80's look like a piece of crap(that kinda hurt me).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.211.217.224 (talk) 07:57, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

message: FYI I removed "and will receive a kiss of gratitude from Palutena" after "...teenager" in plot because if you watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYsNpQmQ7sk you see that it clearly doesn't happen. It this vitally important work? No. Is it good to be accurate? Yes. 220.101.4.140 (talk) 02:49, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kiss of gratitude from Palutena 

message: I think a merger of Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters to Kid Icarus would be appropriate, as there is not enough unique feature material and coverage in reliable third-party sources. I checked all possible magazine scans from that time, and there seem to be no actual reviews on the game. Beyond that, the gameplay is almost identical to that of Kid Icarus. All unique information on the game is included in the first paragraph of the legacy section, but the chances of a standalone article getting even just to "good article" status are extremely low, given the lack of coverage on development and reception.

replies: text: But what if it becomes ported to the Nintendo 3DS' Virtual Console and cause more reviews to pop up? Parrothead1983 (talk) 00:09, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Can still be split if this happens (preferably with some development information), but at the moment, there is not much that sets it apart from the original game. Prime Blue (talk) 00:52, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I congratulate you on your massive expansion/cleanup of the article. I don't know how it was considered a Good Article before, but it definitely meets it now. Although, I have revived the sequel's article with some references. Tomorrow I may flesh them out and look for a few more. I really don't think it should be merged.

message: What with Kid Icarus: Uprising coming out soon, and nintendo's plans to make Kid Icarus a more "Recognizable" brand, I think a page for the whole Kid Icarus series would be appropriate.206.248.167.220 (talk) 22:22, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I got an e-mail from Club Nintendo memberships that they said:
"Pre-order Kid Icarus: Uprising at select retailers and receive a bonus download code for the 3D Classics: Kid Icarus game upon final purchase."- Nintendo email
And the consumers who pre-order at GameSpot, Best Buy, or Amazon will receive a bonus download code for the 3D Classics: Kid Icarus game and the download code will be delivered with the purchase of Kid Icarus: Uprising. A deposit may be required for pre-order. Offer good at US retailers only.
Here's this link that they gave from the email:
* http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/leoRNk4z_ui0yblzMlCVz6Wy9jGb5qSq
Should we consider adding it to the page and maybe add it to Kid Icarus: Uprising and add the Note on the List of Virtual Console games for Nintendo 3DS (North America)  also?

message: A source was added by user Deltasim regarding the remake and I had removed it as I feel it does not meet Wikipedia’s reliable source criteria (mainly because a reliable source must have multiple authors, level’s or review, and several differing points of view). They added the source back and in good faith I have not reverted the edit so as to avoid an edit war. Let’s get a consensus on this please.
This is the source in question: http://vgmaps.com/Reviews/Editorial-didFlipIndustriesReallyCreateSuperKidIcarus.htm

replies: text: Coming over from 3O. The source is reliable for the purpose of verifying that this claim has been made, but using it to state a definite fact is inappropriate. In this case inclusion of the source and related material should be guided by WP:PRIMARY and WP:NPOV. Now, there does seem to be a dispute about whether the material about the fan game should be included at all, but if it does get included the above would apply.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 00:35, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Reliable Source?

message: Kid Icarus has three games, all of which sold relatively well, and Pit has appeared in outside media (See: Captain N, SSBB). I feel Kid Icarus deserves a franchise page akin to Punch Out!! and Animal Crossing. I'd do it myself but I'm still a novice at Wikipedia, plus I'd probably mess it up somehow.
