Despite IGN’s persistent claims that a Wii Kid Icarus title is in the works, it seems more like some bad information. Yoshio Sakamoto, one of the creators of the Nintendo classic Kid Icarus, hasn’t heard anything about a new version of the game. Sakamoto spoke with Kotaku, sadly denying the existence of any next gen title.
“I don’t know personally about any project underway regarding Kid Icarus,” Sakamoto said. “[However] if so many of those people are interested in it and really want to see it on the Wii, they should really speak up.”
Based on Pit’s presence in Super Smash Bros. Brawl alone, I find it hard to believe that Nintendo doesn’t know we all want a new Kid Icarus title. I guess we’ll just have to add it to the list of “why aren’t you on the Wii” titles, like Starfox, Pilotwings and Luigi’s Mansion 2.
