[quote name='FlyingMonkey9']Never played the original kid icarus...is it even worth it, 3d or not?

Bizarre that they are trying to invigorate life in a series which hasnt seen a release in 20 years[/QUOTE]

Comparing the old one and the new one doesn't make much sense, it's like a new IP at this point. For better and for worse.

I think he was actually asking if the original Kid Icarus was worth playing, whether it be the NES or 3D Classics version.

In which case, it's a yes per most people.

Bump for this Friday's release!

Looks like the pre-order offer is still available for those who may have waited.

Pre ordered 2 copies one for me and my friend.
Hooray

Got the download code in my email last night. Nintendo certainly buries that "redeem code" option, don't they?

Still waiting for the FedEx dude to get here with my game.

Picked up my copy at GS today. Tried to poke fun at the employee for the whole Raccoon city Fiasco (for those who didn't know, they ran out of preorder bonus codes).

We got our copy and the download code, but I wish I'd not pre-ordered it from amazon, but BestBuy. Oh well.

Amazon's got it for $29.99 now, too...but it looks like they'll be OOS until the end of April. They don't usually do price adjustments, do they?

I got an email this morning saying Amazon is automatically adjusting the price on my preorder.

They're treating the new $29.99 price as the "Pre-order" price and refunding pre-orders $10. They posted this on their forums yesterday, and the e-mails have started going out (got mine this morning).

Got my credit
