using critic reviews doesn't take into account how many units Kid Icarus sold, which is what makes the game underrated, it didn't sell that well.

"As of April 2013, the game has sold 1.18 million units, being the 10th best-selling title for the system at that time."

Also I've heard Kid Icarus Uprising's underrated so much over the years, so is it underrated anymore?

You gotta believe! Heh heh.

Because Kid Icarus was always a niche Nintendo IP? The original NES game sold 1.76 million units, and Of Myths and Monsters isn't even in the chart for best selling Game Boy games. The fact that Uprising sold over a million units is commendable.

i guess i can agree that underrated is probably the wrong word, but it’s definitely underappreciated by the vast majority of nintendo fans

In all honesty though, calling it underrated is definitely not the proper title for the video. It would have been better as Sakurai's Masterpiece or just a general "One of Nintendo's Best".

Underrated is more for those clickbait views, which, if the video has good content that's more than that, is fair, youtube sucks and you have to play dirty where reasonable.

It's still a good video! I think it's more because Pit is still known more for Smash than his own series, even though it's been two titles since he got a new game and it has several moments of going "hey KIU was a good game play it to get the context".

well in this exciting new world of youtube video essays we can revisit popular childhood media to talk about why they're underrated masterpieces or if we wanna get adventurous use basic critical theory principles to make videos on children's movies seem socially important
sorry if i sound mean here i'm just kind of bitter about this sort of thing

Again, it's what gets clicks, "Why This Movie is Not as Good as You Think" is guaranteed more views than "A strange and disappointing plot hole in Movie". The algorithm's kinda ****ed.

gotta love those "things your stupidass didn't know about [movie/show]" as opposed to "facts about [movie/show]"
makes users want to go watch the video to prove they did know and are not stupid
