About Me
Oh, hi there. Didn’t see you enter. Anyways, welcome to my humble little blog. For those of you not familiar with who I am, the name’s Brian. I’m 24 years old and hail from Findlay, Ohio. I work at the local newspaper here as a copy editor, putting my four long years of college to actual use. Kind of. I think.
For those of you who might recognize me from elsewhere, I work as Assistant Gaming Editor over at Blogcritics Gaming and as Features Editor over at Tomopop. It's a lot of work, but it's worth it because I get to do a lot of cool shit with a lot of cool people.
I've been gaming since the relatively young age of around 3 and I've played plenty of games, both good and bad. I'm continuously expanding my gaming collection, which has become more of an archive in recent years as I'm focusing on collecting older, less well-known titles. You'd honestly be surprised on what people are missing out on in bargain bins...
Other than gaming, I love anime, manga, sports, movies, TV, and a whole lot more. I also happen to have something of a legendary love for Cammy, to the point that I am the site's unofficial official Cammy fanboy. And yes, I do play as her in Street Fighter and do so quite well, too.
Also, I am Chad Concelmo's B.F.F., my prize for coming in first in The Great Retro Quiz .18 - ActRaiser. Accept no substitutes. Not even Aerox.

Via GoNintendo, Nintendo Power had an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto which has appeared in their latest issue. It's from E3, and in it, they bring up the age-old question about a new Kid Icarus title, the thing we've been talking about really since Day 1 of the Wii on the Internet. Here's the exchange: NP: And, of course, I have to ask: have you given any thought to putting a new Kid Icarus game on Wii or DS? Miyamoto: Wait, please. I'm really surprised how popular that is. But you are the first person to ask at this E3! It's rather ambiguous and doesn't say a lot, but Miyamoto seems hesitant to answer this question one way or the other and does note the popularity of the idea. If it's not already in the works, it might mean the ideas are being born in Shiggy's mind right now. The Nintendo crowd is not stupid like they sometimes make us think. They'll make a Kid Icarus if the buzz continues.

But yeah, suspicious things are suspicious.
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.
I'd love it if they were working on this. After playing the Metroid Prime games, Retro can have my money any day.
It would be cool if it happened though.
Funny I don't see minigames in Metroid Prime
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.
Thats why Other M was such a big surprise to me at E3
That really is the only reason I care, Tristero. I couldn't give a shit about the original Kid Icarus' gameplay.
