Destructoid:
"Although I freaking love Animal Crossing: City Folk, I understand why a lot of people thought Nintendo's 2008 holiday line up was pretty weak. Compared to Q4 2007's releases of Metroid Prime 3 and Super Mario Galaxy, and Q4 2006's The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Q4 2008 on the Wii was the driest holiday yet for the little white shat-box.
Rumor has it that this dry spell wasn't always part of the plan. According to inside source, Nintendo was originally planning to present Kid Icarus Wii at E3 2008, then release the game a few months later. Due to problems with Factor 5 (the developer long rumored to have ties to the project), that plan fell through, which left Nintendo of America feeling "pretty bummed." Kid Icarus Wii may still come together if Factor 5 can find someone to give them lots of money (hint: Nintendo has lots of money)."
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
Nintendo...please give them money for this.
If you don't, I'm sure Phil Harrison will pick up the project for Atari.
He's really reforming that company. They got Ghostbusters and we all know how amazing that will be.
EDIT: Yes, I know they're only publishing, but Phil Harrison said he would work closely with the developers to make sure we see quality.
Make a new Mother instead.
Nooo. I want a NEW KI as much as the next Prime or Zelda. We've been waiting an age for a Kid Icarus from Ninty and I'm hoping he turns out much more SSBB than like that art.
It'll happen but God knows when.
Its Nintendo's decision now.I hope Kid Icarus shows up in 2009
I wish they were bummed about the shovelware...but it sells millions!
