It's safe to say that both Nintendo and the Metroid franchise are gearing up to have one of the biggest years in their history. On top of finally getting a reveal trailer and release window for the long-awaited Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, it's all but confirmed that the Switch 2 will be arriving sometime in 2025. Together, the resurgence of a beloved franchise and the launch of a new system position the Big N to have one of its most exciting years in a while, but there's another somewhat-forgotten series that should be included in all the excitement: Kid Icarus.
