Friday cannot get here soon enough.

All these positive reviews are really encouraging.This game looked like it could have been a disaster back in its early stages. I can't wait for Friday.

@Chillybilly

You think that's bad, I have to wait until the end of the month to get this game.

That's a new use for the word 'lustrous', I'm not entirely sure I know what they're talking about using it in that context. I assume they just mean they figuratively 'glow'?

I just finished Kid Icarus on my NES for the first time yesterday. Got the second best ending, and now I'm waiting on Myths and Monsters to arrive tomorrow. Needless to say I'm hyped. This is looking to be one of my absolute favorite Nintendo games. Let's just hope that this starts a brand new life for the Kid Icarus franchise.
