With very few Wii releases on the horizon (Rhythm Heaven Fever, Mario Party 9 and Xenoblade are pretty much it), our minds can't help but wander to the possibilities presented by Nintendo's next generation of home consoles, the Wii U. Pair this with anticipation over the revival of the Kid Icarus series on the 3DS (check out our latest Kid Icarus Uprising preview if you haven't already), and it's not hard to imagine where our minds went.
In truth, the Kid Icarus series wouldn't just be cool on Wii U, it absolutely belongs on it. Below are a few reasons why the Big N is just plain cruel if it doesn't make its next Pit stop (see what we did there?) an HD one. Give us what we want, Nintendo, or we'll sick our two-headed dog on you.
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.
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
...yup.
Start with Kid Icarus and work your way through the Smash Bros. Brawl roster: Kid Icarus, Earthbound, F-Zero, Starfox, Ice Climbers etc..
Seems a shame to have so many great characters waiting in limbo for a 2nd chance.
