Nintendo Wii Virtual Console Flies Too Close To The Sun

It looks like Zelda: Ocarina Of Time isn’t the only Wii Virtual Console title coming out this week — we completely forgot about Kid Icarus.  The first Icarus flew too close to the sun, and this one gets released on the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console the same week as Ocarina.  Bad luck, that Ick kid.

From Nintendo:

This week Wii owners will also get to enjoy the popular NES title, Kid Icarus. Some twenty years after its original release, Nintendo is bringing the classic platform title back to the Virtual Console for gamers old and new to enjoy. Players take on the role of a young angel called Pit in his struggle to defeat the minions of darkness and free the Goddess of Light from her prison in the underworld. Kid Icarus is available to download now for just 500 Wii Points.
