"but if so many of those people are interested in it and really want to see it on the Wii, they should really speak up."

I want to leave a negative comment about what Nintendo has been spending some of it's time on instead of giving fans what they want..

..but I'll sit on any negativity until I see what they have going on with the new Zelda.

either way, the way Nintendo's structured currently, it would be hard to accuse them of wasting resources

The only one i can think of is intelligent systems, whose been wasting their time on Pokemon Ranger and Wario Ware instead of Fire Emblem and Paper Mario

@Mr Khan

I can understand your frustration towards Pokemon Ranger, but time is never wasted if it's being used to develop Warioware titles.

That said, Intelligent Systems is a fairly large developer that has more than one or two teams working on games so it's highly possible that a new Fire Emblem and Paper Mario have been in the works for some time now.

I just realized that I really want a new Fire Emblem game for Wii.

RADIANT DAWN is an underrated game for the Wii. That being said, I wonder how come most of the music tracks--with some rare exceptions--sounded so bad? Was I the only one who felt most of the maps were better with the music turned off? If they're making another FE it needs to have better music.

By the way

*SPOILERS*

Was anyone else annoyed at how they retroconned Ashnard into a relatively decent king--shifting all the villainry to the Bengignon senators? When you think about it it doesn't make a lot of sense.

This would be another question of "who's gonna make it?" A lot like asking for F-Zero in this generation.

NST, possibly. I can't think of what they're making, but otherwise they would have to outsource again.

Though it would be a nice new project for their Project M: something that needs to hybridize 2D gameplay with 3D Action

This would be one of the best titles they could release. Hard game but too fun.

Man I saw the screenshot at the very top before reading the headline... my heart skipped a beat. I thought it was really going to happen. A Wii Kid Icarus. Make something for WiiWare, anything. Bring back one of the best games everrrr

God, didn't this rumor finally die? Good job Sakamoto, you had your chance to finally end it, yet you chose not to.

Although..

I don't know anyone that ever played this game back in the day, and you never heard anyone clamoring for a remake until that video (great descript, I know) showed up back several years that showed the character from the game.

The whole thing sounds like there is no steam to it. I would expect a new Kid Icarus when Wii sales begin to fall off, the core will be exploited again at that point.

:)

tigre, that's trolling.

It's probably because most kids had a love/hate relationship with it. Haha.

I used to play it with my friend, both of us trying--and failing--to express our frustration (I don't count enraged screams) because neither of us new how to properly cuss, at the time. I haven't played it since then (1987/1988), but I would definitely look at a remake...

They need to Shadow Complex kid icarus - I don't want a crappy looking 3D game that has tons of camera and control issues. Make it a buttery smooth and highly polished 2d experience that expands and improves upon the original Kid Icarus concept!

Here's a design idea for yah. Keep it in 2d , update the graphics, use the nes controler configuration with the Wii-mote. Have it control the same as the original but add flight by pumping the Wii-mote. Expand on it from there. It doesn't have to be some radical redesign.

Kid Icarus was the first game I ever bought. I'd love to see a remake.

I think the way to make a kid icarus game on wii would be to make it sort of Ratchet n Clank esque. So there would be alot of platforming along with arrow shooting just like R & C was alot of platforming with gun shooting.
A=Jump
Hold A=Glide
B=Shoot Arrow
Wiimote Pointer=Aims
Z=Melee Attack
C=snaps camera behind Pit
Hold C= allows you to control the camera with the wiimote
This is just my dream for a wii kid icarus

This is my perfect Idea. I would like an actual platformer, with Zelda type puzzles.

I'll take a Starfox or F-Zero or Pikmin for this generation ahead of a Kid Icarus, thank you very much.

If they make a new Kid Icarus they should totally just do what they did for NSMBWii (A nice vertical, 4 player, platformer.) and not turn it into another 3D adventure game.

Also we need a new Wiiware Startropics that sticks very close to its roots.

If they don't have the resources to devote to creating an all new adventure, I'd be perfectly happy with a remake of the original 2D game with current generation graphics and sounds.

I don't really think they are going to make a new Kid Icarus since Punch Out!! Wii sold only about 1 million copies
For Nintendo that might translate into "People are not interesting in playing rehashed classics" :(
