Kid Icarus is an old Nintendo game that continues to be a pleasure to play every time. You play a boy human/angel named Pit. Pit goes on an adventure, armed with only a bow and arrow, to rescue a Princess and save the Angel Land from the evil Medusa. Pit must travel through 3 worlds the underworld, overworld, sky world, eventually reaching the Palace in the Sky where Medusa awaits. In each world Pit must defeat the Gatekeeper and collect the three sacred treasures necessary to defeat Medusa. As you progress through the game you collect hearts from vanquished enemies that can be used to buy items in stores. Pit's energy and power will increase as you advance through the game. This is a classic Nintendo title that has great graphics and memorable game tunes. There are also several alternate endings which gives the player incentive to go through the game again. Kid Icarus was an amazing game, I usually pick it up once a year play through it, it is ashame that it hasn't been redone on a current game console because it was one of the finest Nintendo games made in the 80's.

Japanese cinema is celebrated for its refined minimalist dramas and avant-garde experimentation; it also introduced popular genres like jidaigeki (samurai epics), kaiju, and anime. Across both high art and mass entertainment, it often explores morality, impermanence, and the pressures of modern life.
