Show Some Love For Ice Climbers
1984 was the year when Nintendo set loose Ice Climbers on the original NES. The game's premise was simple. You played the role of Bobo and Nana - Eskimo ice climbers scaling obstacles, meanwhile knocking birds and bears out of your way, and eating veggies to replenish your life, all just to get to the top.
They triumphantly returned on Gamecube's Super Smash Bros. Melee appearing as a tag team duo tethered to one another, cooperatively executing deadly war-hammer moves, throwing large blocks of ice, and flying thru the air using each other as a counterweight.
I wanna see them back in a new game. Although some criticize Nintendo for constantly rehashing their old mascots over and over but if done well, I have no problem with that. I would love to see Bobo and Nana again in new adventures. Don't you?

I love ice climbers. I remember playing it with my best friend and him always bitching about having to be Nana. No worries though. She could roll with the boys anytime and throw just as hard.
P.S. Have you guys noticed the ice climbers are sort of the same blue and pink colors as you two are?

I love the Ice Climbers sooooo much. >w I thought that jump scene where Nana caught Popo and saved his butt was the cuuutest.
