Recently, I've been on a huge Kid Icarus kick as of late. Like many people, I am still disappointed that the series never took off like many other Nintendo staples by only having two installments and subsequently disappearing forever.

While we have been treated to many things, such as two ports of the original game (Wii Virtual Console, and the GBA "Classic Nes Series" port...Japanese release only Evil or Very Mad

), the inclusion of Pit and many Kid Icarus characters/elements featured in SSBB, and a possible revival of the series with rumors of a new installment on the Wii (Please, oh please!), there is still that huge 17 year gap where Kid Icarus was forgotten.

Now, I have heard many things - that the second installment in the series (Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters, which was on the original Game Boy) was going to get a rehash with a DX release - ala A Link To The Past DX. Or, that there was a possible installment being developed for the SNES. Now that I mention that, I found this forum post while searching for more information -

There is a SNES rom called Kid Icarus: Angel Land Story floating around.

It's pretty easy to find at most large SNES rom sites.

I don't know anything about it's origins though.

Yes, I have that. To my understanding, it was a fan made project that never was finished. It only shows a title screen, and nothing more.

That's probally the homebrew Icarus title by Jeremy â€œY0SHiâ€ Chadwick. It was lame and never went anywhere.

Ah, I see.

Well, I found this thread, but it seems to simply be fan-mock ups of what the games could have looked like.

While I don't like the cartoon-y look of the DS Pit, otherwise they look DAMN good. Makes you really wish the series could have lived longer. ;_;

I find it more amazing that somebody fabricated maps of the entirety of the cancelled GBC Zelda.

That "Tale of Courage" or "Mystical Seed of Wisdom" one? Do you by chance have a link to said maps?

Oh wait, I found them. Never mind, heh.

Those Kid Icarus for SNES maps look sweet, but the Sky World was in the sky, not a cave or temple. Also, world 2-1 was clearly a night scene with stars, not a cave with stalagtites and such.

So the rom came out and sucked?
