We know sometimes rivalries start way before their prime time becomes obvious to the general public. This was also the case for Nintendo and Sega that were closely following each other to make the next move and secure those exclusive titles, sometimes done by third parties, and other times developing them themselves to make sure everything end ups alright.
This was the case for Kid Icarus and Alex Kidd, that at a distance the rivalry did not look like much, but they were closely published to cover any kind of cravings the consumer may have for these games.
You look at Alex Kidd and you may not think much of it compare to Kid Icarus that was even featured in popular TV shows such as "Captain N" along side with other gaming superstar characters of the time such as Mega Man, Simon Belmont, Metroid, Alucard, Donkey Kong, Ganon, Mother Brain, King Hippo, Doctor Willy, Link, Zelda, etc..
However Alexx Kid was at the time Sega's front man way before Sonic even existed. It was considered Sega's mascot in the same way Mario is for Nintendo, and Nintendo wasn't going to stay still to all that.
Ultimately both games were popular, both games were definitely important for their particular systems, and they were both relevant to gaming history in general as well. So let´s see who you´ll vote for in this particular battle.
