From the article:

"We reported last week that Factor 5, developers of the amazing Rogue Squadron series for the Gamecube and the nightmarish Lair for PS3, has rekindled their relationship with Nintendo, and are currently working on an unnamed project exclusively for the company's home console. According to gaming site Kombo (and their anonymous inside source), the project is a brand new Kid Icarus game, designed from the ground up for the Wii. Given F5's renewed partnership with Nintendo, and the Kid Icarus buzz already in the air due to protaganist Pit's inclusion in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it's a definite possibility. However, until we hear something from the new lovers, this is just hearsay at best."

It would be nice (Kid Icarus brings some very fond memories for me), but what type of a game would it be? It could probably be like the 3d Zeldas but what's the fun that?

Factor 5 are the brains behind the awesome Rouge Squadron and the horrid Lair on Ps3. They do a lot of flight games. I could see Kid Icarus working in a 'Lylat Wars' style but with ground-based missions too. I dunno, i am sure with Nintendos help they wouldnt botch it.

Kid Icarus... I reckon they'd be more suited to a Star Fox game... My 2 cents

MAAAAN!!!! This is some of the best news I've read on this site!!

Kid Icarus was my favourite game as a kid. I remember completing that like 3 times or something until I was totally maxed out with all the cool gear. If this is true I'm so stoked I've got a Wii.

Nice find Foetoid.

I'm still thinking- "Why Factor 5?", unless the new Kid icarus is a flight simulator I want to see what they do with an adventure game. heh.. just thought up something. Kid icarus was a lot like Metroid. Imagine a 1st person game of Kid Icarus, with the likes of Metroid Prime. Maybe that's the idea.. I doubt it though

The original kid icarus is a walking platformer with only the last level allowing to fly.

Not sure you could make it into a lylat wars style game unless they do something really out of the ball park.

However something like sin and punishment could work.

You know, if you were to skin MP3 with Kid Icarus like setting (arrows instead of beams, Medusa instead of Ridley, Devil Pit instead of Dark Samus) and even keep the story similar (instead of planets you'd have "worlds"), you'd have a pretty spot on version of Kid Icarus on wii.

i so hope Kid Icarus coems to the Wii. I am almost 100% certain that they are talking about that franchise when they say they are reviving one. Come on Kid Icarus for the Wii!!!

Let's hope they can recover from the terrible Lair. Worst game on the PS3.

Haha. I love that game. I've still got it, bought it about 3 days before the launch of the gamecube! So awesome. I wish they would make more Star Wars games, for the Wii!!!
