Anybody who knows their video game history (or read any of my recent anniversary articles), you know 1986 was a historic year for video games with franchises such as The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, and Castlevania making their debuts in the land of the rising sun. However, right before the year was up, another new franchise debuted though sadly, never had the same impact as the others. That franchise was Kid Icarus. The series tells the story of an angel named Pit who wields a bow and arrow and usually must journey through certain lands to enhance himself in order to defeat an evil threat. While the franchise hasn't gotten the same love as other Nintendo counterparts, it still has an interesting legacy and some characters have become playable in the Super Smash Bros. games. This past November/December was the 35th Anniversary of the original Kid Icarus and the 30th Anniversary of Of Myths and Monsters while this year marks the 10th Anniversary of Uprising. As a result, we'll take a look at the three Kid Icarus games
