I'm also waiting for hell freezing over yet.
But yeah, suspicious things are suspicious.
Not to be angry at you specifically, Nihon, but I'm sick and tired of headlines about this. There have been unnecessary heaps of rumors surrounding a new Kid Icarus game for years now, and they have all been debunked. Statements have been interpreted in every way possible. Until Nintendo is ready to come out and announce this, I can not possibly care about the remote possibility of the resurrection of a game that, to be honest, most people only played in retrospect and is probably best known to most people through Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
I'm hoping that Retro Studio's new secret project is this game. I don't think it will be, but I'm hoping anyway.
I gotta admit, I never even played the original Kid Icarus, so I have literally no opinion on the game. But a new one coming out for the Wii would make me want to download the original.
And like Gui said, anything other than Metroid from Retro Studios would be awesome. I love the Prime games TO DEATH, but I would really like to see what else they could do.

I've played the original Kid Icarus and, god its frustrating, but it's a good challenge. Is kind of like combining IceClimber's climbing style with Metroid's exploration and even power-up collecting.
@Gen Eric
I'd love it if they were working on this. After playing the Metroid Prime games, Retro can have my money any day.
Nintendo won't make a new Kid Icarus game until they can figure out how to add a bunch of mini games and waggle. Once they do, game time
I don't see how this means anything honestly. I truly don't.
It would be cool if it happened though.

Funny I don't see minigames in Metroid Prime
Eh, don't really care.
I know a lot of people really want this game, but I can't imagine it having much in common with the original game except for a character named Pit who flies. Which maybe is enough for a lot of people. I think it's a game that mostly dyed in the wool Nintendo fans remember, which isn't most of Nintendo's current audience. If they resurrected it as a nod to the fans, which is possible, they'd have to make sure it would appeal to their new audience as well. Which rules out an ultra challenging vertical climbing exploration game. We could very well get our Kid Icarus Wii, but who knows what game style would be underneath the mythology paint.
The real reason a lot of people kind of instinctually want this is because they know it's their only real chance at getting a "new hardcore IP" from Nintendo anytime soon. I say new and hardcore with the loosest possible definitions.
This doesn't really say anything. However, it also says a great deal. Nintendo are great at being cryptic. Hopefully we will see a new Kid Icarus title soon, but some people have been waiting nearly 20 years for a third game in the series.
I can't even pay attention to any of this. The way I've adapted to nintendo this generation is to not care until they actually say something. Don't believe the rumors, etc, because I don't want to be even more dissapointed when a good game never comes out.
Thats why Other M was such a big surprise to me at E3
Nevermind, change what I said to what Tristero said. I like sounding smart.
"The real reason a lot of people kind of instinctually want this is because they know it's their only real chance at getting a "new hardcore IP" from Nintendo anytime soon. I say new and hardcore with the loosest possible definitions."
That really is the only reason I care, Tristero. I couldn't give a shit about the original Kid Icarus' gameplay.
a new kid icarus isn't even a rumor anymore. for those that were paying attention a couple years ago at the e3 when AC:WW was first shown, reggie said in an interview that they had wanted to show kid icarus but that it just wasn't presentable yet
