E3 2008: Miyamoto Almost Confirms Kid Icarus

In the months leading up to the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2008, sources told IGN that a Wii remake of Kid Icarus was underway and destined to be unveiled at the event. Unfortunately, a day prior to the show, IGN learned that said project would not be on display after all. So when they met up with Nintendo mastermind Shigeru Miyamoto, they had Kid Icarus on their mind. The first question was, simply, where is Kid Icarus for Wii?

That doesn't come close to making up for a terrible Nintendo conference, but it is good to hear.

Why does the conference have so much impact?
I really dont get it...

Snipes205766d ago

Yes, it is a conference, and yes, there will be interviews and demos later, but when stuff isn't presented when everyone (even most haters) is watching, it makes for a frustrating conference.

Did I mention this only comes once a year? It's like not getting a great present at Christmas, you will be upset, disappointed, and unable to see the good in what you got instead.

That is why this conference matters.

Like if we dont know whats coming?

Silogon5766d ago

It's almost as if these site journalist are trying to make up for nintendo's abysmal showing and lackluster line up by making up junk bunk that doesn't even seem palpable.

sure, i'd love to see a new Kid Icarus and might even buy a wii for one, but it's not here or in sight and until it is I'm not buying anything other than Nintendo sold their fans down the river today.

Snipes205766d ago

I agree it is making IGN look really stupid right now for saying "Kid Icarus and Factor 5 at E3!" They were even shocked (watch one of their wrap-up segments).

That people didn't catch Reggie saying that there were TOO many games in development to mention.

6 Classic Games That Deserve Remakes

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.

sone of the games definitely deserve a remake. you dont have to buy them if you prefer the original tho.

amazinglover351d ago

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic351d ago

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.
