Even with all its flaws, I'd still recommend the Arcade Archives VS. Ice Climber to collectors, gaming historians, those who wish to support the Hamster Nintendo partnership, and maybe to those excited to see a slightly expanded Ice Climber lore. Honestly, with all the attention brought to the series protagonists Nana and Popo in the Super Smash Bros. series it's time for Nintendo to do these characters justice with a new game that's really great. It's a shame this now iconic duo is stuck being the stars of various iterations of a subpar game.
