Joystiq via IGN writes: "Pit's feature role in Super Smash Bros. Brawl could be a precursor to the Kid Icarus franchise's triumphant resurrection, or at least IGN seems to think so. On their latest Nintendo Voice Chat podcast, Matt Casamassina and the gang discuss Reggie's recent comments about a holiday blockbuster to be announced at E3, and speculate that it could be the new Kid Icarus that they "know" is in the works.
Now, how Casassamassassassina and crew can be so absolutely sure that Kid Icarus is Wii-bound is beyond us. We'll personally apply a liberal amount of skeptical sauce to this story, although it's also worth mentioning that the IGN team actually hopes Nintendo's E3 reveal isn't the Kid Icarus game they magically already know about"
After being benched for 20 years, and returning only to be forsaken again despite being a splendid game, it's time Kid Icarus gets salvation.
BY FRANKLIN: When putting together a list of the best remakes and remasters for modern consoles, I started thinking about many of the classic games that also deserve remakes. Some more popular games been re-released on digital platforms or ported with no updates to the original game, but a direct port is not as satiating as a remake. These games deserve to be remade from the ground up, or at the very least have a graphical refresh.
These are 6 classic game remakes that we want to see in 2023.
Nah. New games or gtfo. You want to play Super Mario RPG? Hop on archive and download it.
not sure i agree with that.
sone of the games definitely deserve a remake. you dont have to buy them if you prefer the original tho.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic already has a remake coming, though it has had a rough development moving from Aspyr Media to a Saber Interactive studio it is still set to come to PS5 and PC.
I will gladly take remasters and ports of older games, would love a remake of Link to the Past in the same style as Link's Awakening, I'd also love a remake of Super Mario RPG.
From the Underworld to Skyworld.
Crazy. Remember buying this game and firing it up. And the catchy music. So many years ago.
Still waiting on that new icarus announcement.
Immortals:Fenyx rising really showed wt a icarus game could look like
oh man, kid icarus was awesome for the nes. if it's to be released that gives me more incentive to get a wii.
would be nice. I suppose you can kind of give Kid Icarus a break because an update there would be a paradigm for the franchise, but it's time for a wave brand new stuff instead of endless rehashes of the old. People say that often enough – why won't Nintendo make it so?
If they do make a new Kid Icarus I'll be somewhat jaded for it'll never be as difficult and insanly hard as the NES version :(
But really no game these days comes close to that kind of difficulty level.
my best character in brawl..
Do you think this is the surprise/big announcement game for Wii that Reggie is talking about?
Me personally I don't, i think it's another accessory that Nintendo can make money on...just like the nunchucks, the wii fit, i think it'll be something else along those lines.
