Kid Icarus is up! I looked at the IGN review and they marked it down because the cheat codes have been disabled. I'm not sure if that is much of a criticism. I played through the first level of Kid Icarus a few days ago and I think it holds up well. A tight platformer that scrolls up and down instead of side to side. I remember when it first came out it wasn't as popular as Mario because of the difficulty. I would give it an 8 and would like to see a true sequel.
I can't recommend Yoshi's Story on VC. If you want the greatest Yoshi Platformer get Yoshi's Island on the DS, great game.
Edit: Yes, Kid Icarus does scroll side to side on some levels.
