Reader Aaron happened across this retro ad for Hikari Shinwa: Parthena no Kagami (Might of Light: Parthena's Mirror) in Akihabara. Known as Kid Icarus in the West, the game was released almost twenty years ago and is looong overdue for a sequel. And Game Boy games or Smash Brothers titles don't count. Why is it that the sequels you really want take forever, while the ones you are largely indifferent towards reappear year after year after year?
