3D Classics: Kid Icarus is a downloadable video game for the Nintendo 3DS system, available for purchase through the Nintendo eShop. In Europe, it costs £5.40 to download, but the game was made available for free to Club Nintendo members that bought two first party Nintendo 3DS games within an allotted timespace. The game is a remake of NES game Kid Icarus with no changes to the gameplay or graphics.

New Features

Gameplay of 3D Classics: Kid Icarus, complete with the border.

While for the most part, 3D Classics: Kid Icarus makes few changes to Kid Icarus, there are a few exceptions to this.

• At either side of the gameplay, a new border has been added.
• While the game is graphically unchanged, players have the option to play the game in stereoscopic, glasses-free 3D.
• Additionally, there is an in-game options screen that allows players to alter the intensity of the game's 3D levels even further.
• The game has a new title screen, with a music track never previously featured in the Kid Icarus franchise to accompany it.
• The game has a new pause screen, displayed on the 3DS's touchscreen, which oddly, is disabled from usage on this menu. The new pause menu has two options; Continue, and Reset.
