"Miyamoto told Nintendo Power this month to "wait" for Kid Icarus, giving a good sign that the game is indeed coming. However, the question remains why do we want Kid Icarus in the first place?"
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
I really hope Nintendo can deliver here. There not being a sequel in over 20 years makes me nervous as to how they will go about the game.
I know Nintendo knows this but I hope that make the right choices in game.
Perhaps they'll do a portable version? or if not concentrate of Wii Motionplus and archery?
I dunno, I'm cautious to the prospect but would like a new one.
because people want more character oriented Nintendo games?
the article keeps using the "it's" contraction where it does not apply
Really? It's a guaranteed sign that something is coming. I mean if I tell someone to wait that's an instant sign that their wishes are going to be fulfilled? Not likely, I think he's just tired of having the questions aimed at him with nothing to return. I'd be surprised if they're working on something.
Honestly, I love Kid Icarus as much as the next gamer but it's hardly a franchise with only TWO (2) unique releases in the last 23 years. I'd call that almost a niche when it comes to Nintendo's stellar lineup of titles...and Miyamoto (READ: Nintendo) COULD think that's a risk not worth taking. Better to butter the toast of a guaranteed sale (or re-release).
Couple this with the fact that there's really no way it will live up the expectations of most of the fanbase. I, for one, feel they should use Pit's design in SSBB...anything else (like those crap images they leaked) would be an extreme letdown. I don't want them to "mature" the character for mainstream...I just want another whimsical adventure on par with Wind Waker...

...wait a second, I think THAT is a style that would lend itself well to Kid Icarus. Not necessarily a toon-shaded game (though I wouldn't mind it as I LOVED WW), but that look...something about it screamed Fantasy Epic in a storybook style. I think it was the most successful style for Zelda in a long time and I would welcome the transition to Kid Icarus.
Sadly, I really don't see it happening. I've dropped Kid Icarus from my list of games I'm anticipating to the list of games I hope we'll see one day, and honestly, my hopes are rather diminished.
Been singing this tune for nearly 2 yrs now. I'd love a KI game, as it is very similar to Metroid which is a stellar series to say the least. Which is why I think it is hyped as it is.
Honestly though, its whatever to me. There's so many games out now and coming soon for the Wii that I'll be busy and broke for a while.
How's Conduit treatin you Product? haven't seen you on lately, hopefully we'll blast some chumps again soon.;)
