I really recall an interview where Sakurai (I believe) reflects on his decision on the Ice Cimbers' relationship in SSBM, that they were lovers. Either way, the intro video depicts a heart over their heads as they celebrate parka pwnage with a high five. Melee is that they are "less than lovers, but more than friends." Interpret as you will. The general consensus among enthusiastic Ice Climbers players in Super Smash Bros. I liked that bit of info on the page since its something that is greatly questioned. I don't know why it was removed(perhaps no source). It used to be stated here that they weren't siblings. Is it ever stated what the relationship between Nana and Popo is? Brother and sister? Friends? Rivals? Enemies? Husband and wife? So the only link with Ice Climbers would be that the weapon is made of ice. Melee the Freezie trophy is listed as first appearing in Mario Bros. Which is mistaken? MIT Trekkie 05:17, (UTC)
The Freezie article states that the item has no connection to the Ice Climber series. Most old NES copyrights were based on the Japanese release. It was released in Japan in 1984, and America in 1985. ~That is the NES version of Ice Climber however the '84 date is a marking for when the game was developed, not released. Im not sure about the date of the release, it says 1985 here, but i found a video that says 1984, it may be the vs game, what do i know.
