Rumor: New Kid Icarus Game for Wii

Ex-Nintendo developer Factor 5 and Nintendo had temporarily separated. Factor 5 then went on to release Lair, a dragon-themed shooter exclusively on the PlayStation 3. But as of last week Factor 5 and Nintendo have joined up again to work on a new game. Factor 5 will be developing an exclusive game for the Nintendo Wii. Word on the web says that the un-revealed title will be none other than a Kid Icarus game!

"Kombo has learned from a credible source that said Wii game is in fact a new instalment in Nintendo's cherished Kid Icarus franchise. According to sources, Factor 5's Kid Icarus title is being developed ground-up for Wii. It will not use one of the developer's previous GameCube graphics engines. Unfortunately, at this time, no other details have been provided to us for publish."

Around twenty-two years ago Kid Icarus was released for the Nintendo Entertainment system. Starring in the game was a young angel named Pit. Ever since Kid Icarus he has rarely made an appearance, most recently he earned himself a place in Super Smash Bros Brawl. This could show that Nintendo are interested in bringing Pit back from the dead. After all fans have waited for so long for a Kid Icarus sequel; Nintendo revive this franchise!

I found this image.  Is it refering to the same game?

That is a fan made boxart.

ah that's too bad, it is pretty cool looking. I look forward to hearing more about this upcoming game. Good working finding the information news team.

The Retrun of Kid Icarus , I can't wait to here more deatails about his new game. I had a feeling Pit being in Brawl would spark a Kid Icarus Wii game.

I remember playing Kid Icarus back in the day but I'm sure a lot of you haven't had the chance to play it. This has great possibilities and it should be a very good game if they do it right. I liked the original so I hope this is true.

it's still a rumor, but it would be cool to bring back Kid Icarus.

p.s. WTF @ black pit. *shivers*

i wouldn't doubt this at all...

especially since he is appearing in Smash, it would be ovbiuse to keep him coming

not too surprised.


remember what franchise did they bring from the dead witht he GCN?


Metroid


It would be fitting to bring back another series, Kid Icarus

This is sweet! I have never played Kid Icarus before, but I heard it was great!

You are really mean Snake!!! I posted this almost an hour before you in "Other nintendo games"!!! My first news find and you copy me!!! Agast!!!

Wrong, very wrong. At the time when I started my article you hadn't posted that news, when I had posted it in the "News Pool". I noticed that you had also posted as I was making mine, so I added your name. As mine was handwritten and I am a reporter, my article goes into the portal. Try your best to not take it personally. I am just doing my job. Atleast you have your name at the bottom right?

I've never played Kid Icarus but it sounds like a pretty awesome game. Plus, Pit is an amazing character.

Oh, didn't see my name... he he he *walks away embarresed*

A new Pit game would be good, or at least a remake of the old one.

This is a pretty sweet rumor if it's true! And the release of Brawl would serve as a great source of advertisement, I think.
