Eh. Honestly? That game wasn't nearly as good as everyone remembers. It had glitches up the asshole, including whole bosses passing through the screen, disappearing, and reappearing from behind a wall. The level design was pretty bad, and you needed to play flawlessly in order to get the powerups needed to stand a chance in later levels.

And don't get me started on the dungeons and those Eggplant Wizards.

Cmooooooooon Chrono Break

Yeah, well while people are waiting for this inevitable Kid Icarus game I'm still going to be holding out on Reggie's promise to bring back M.C. Kids.

*Technically he never made that promise, but its all in the body language.

@Phoenix: I never played the game in the NES era, I only got to play it as a download for the Virtual Console within the last year or so, and I found the game to be excellent.

I'm hoping this is Retro's new project that they're not allowed to talk about. I don't think it will be, but I'm keeping my hope alive anyway. I'm also hoping they use the Brawl design, because I'm just that crazy.

"This is my main problem with Nintendo. When they should be rattling their back catalogue for stuff like Kid Icarus to update, they have failed miserably."

If they did, than people would just complain that Nintendo's focusing too much on the back catalogue, when they should be making more new IP's. So they can't win either way, because people will always complain, no matter what Nintendo does!

I am so used to have my feet in earth for Nintendo's stuff that I don't mind waiting some time. Many things that start as wild rumors end as releases.

None of us would even be expecting a new Kid Icarus title if it wasn't for silly Matt Cassamina claiming he knows everything Nintendo are planning.

Even if they are working on it, he can't have known for this long.

"Wait, please", doesn't mean it's coming. Like others, I call bad translation or misinterpretation.

'Asking fans to "wait" is certainly better than denying there are plans, which is a good sign. It just all depends on when Nintendo will ever get around to announcing the bloody thing.'

Agreed, at least it's not a "what? we're not working on that, nor have plans to", then again, something that has been expected for so long could very well work on of two ways:

-Console revival: which the Wii will need eventually if Natal does deliver and takes a good chunk of the casuals, then Nintendo will really need all the guns they can pull out.

-New console promoter: With all the damn secrecy going around this thing, Natal and the inevitable hit the Wii will take as this generation advances i have the feeling Nintendo might pull this one and reserve it as an incentive for it's next console if deemed necessary, think about, it'd make sense to keep such a huge ace hidden just so they have options, and IMHO, the second option seems more probable, especially considering Nintendo already has 3 titles slated to keep the Wii alive in and through 2010.

In either case i see New Kid Icarus (working title) as a hidden wildcard to keep until deemed necessary. Much like the FF7 HD remake, this thing will come, but most likely when it's needed, not when it's wanted.

Just wait, just like they said they where making Pikmin 3 at the end of E3 2008 right?

Once I actually see something I'll believe it, till then its a bunch of bullshit meant to get fans to shut up.

@Draycott

Why are you asking for Chrono Break? Nintendo has nothing to do with that stuff.

Nintendo are talented and make cool games, but they like any other company, are not beyond criticism.

For some reason, Nintendo hate market research, as for all the years I've had a \Nintendo, I never recall being asked what games I'd like to see. And all this insane secrecy, in a world where developers are more open these day.

Isn't to much to just say yes, Nintendo.

I think you might have taken the quote out of context. Or maybe I interpreted "wait, please," differently. I guess I could see how you could take it as, "wait for Kid Icarus, please" as opposed to, "wait, please, stop bothering me about this thing that will never happen."

If anyone is to be dissapointed over any Kid Icarus news, it's their own fault for hoping for it in the first place.

Dude, just get on your knees...


Beside me and start praying.
