Ice Climber (アイスクライマー, Aisu Kuraimā) is a game for the Arcade, that was later released for the NES. It consists of two kids, the Ice Climbers, Popo and Nana, as they climb to the top of an icy mountain filled with enemies such as Topis and Polar Bears to stop the evil condor at the top. The player wields a hammer to both kill enemies, and to make openings on the platform above. The game had many remakes, such as an nes game in Animal Crossing. Popo and Nana returned in the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a playable dual character.
[edit] Development
Toshihiko Nakago and Shigeru Miyamoto worked on this project together after Excitebike was completed. Following this game the team would develop Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda.
