Well, in honor of the awesome news we received at E3 about Kid Icarus returning after a 20 year break, I downloaded the original NES game on Virtual Console. After receiving a few ass-whippings, which I attribute to 20 years or so of rust, I realize another reason I always loved this game: the music.
Specifically, the music of the first level, of which I am becoming way too familiar with as I try to remember how the hell to play this game. So here’s a taste, hope you enjoy. I personally can’t wait to hear a modern version of this when it releases on the 3DS!

Awesome! Jimmy Fallon played the new iteration on Friday night on the 3DS after he and some dude from Nintendo played the new Donkey Kong Country. Cool stuff.
Some dude? How dare you speak that way about Reggie Fils-Aime. =(
I didn’t catch his intro, just saw the end. I’m horrible with names as it is.
