Kid Icarus: Uprising was garbage. Maybe the next time they make a Kid Icarus game, it will actually have decent controls.
Seeing as Sakurai didn't really want to make a Kid Icarus game to begin with but something new and original that Iwata then suggested should be Kid Icarus, I'm not that surprised that he doesn't want to make a second one right away.
I would love nothing more than a new Starfox game, or another Sega developed F-Zero given just how incredible of a job they did with GX. Nintendo are a great company that sadly seem to be stuck in the past with their current USP being nostalgia. If they were to maximise the potential of their other IPs (like Metroid, Starfox, F-Zero and Pikmin) then they'll be a step closer to being taken seriously as a modern game developer. Those are my thoughts anyway.
Finished it the other day and ten I read about this on IGN and was really bummed. The guys at NOA seemed to have a blast localizing it and the game held up for then entire experience.
Hope he changes his mind.
Now reboot Ice Climbers!

best 3DS game yet... sure the controls on the ground took some time to get used to, but overall, it's a great game with tons of replay value... which is seldom. especially with action adventure titles...
people bitching about the controls need to give it a chance.. using a dsi XL stylus really helps... i found it nearly impossible to use the 3DS stylus in comparison..

It would be nice if Nintendo would grow their dev and leadership stable a bit. So many great IPs sit on the shelf, unloved, while Mario gets multiple games a year, and Link get's to bask in games that take 4-5 years per title to create. Captain Falcon, Fox McCloud, Samus must be wondering what they did to make Iwata so angry.
I also really enjoyed the game. I'm on Jim Sterling's side in thinking that the game is almost unplayable with stylus controls (at least for me), but I loved the game when I started playing with face buttons. Yeah, it's not accurate at all and a bit awkward, but I got used to it pretty quickly, and I couldn't stop playing until I saw the ending.
It's probably my favorite 3DS game. However, would it have been on the Wii / a dual-sticks console, it would have been one of my favorite games of all times.

It certainly comes as disappointing news, but Sakurai's getting tired of people expecting sequels out of him. Anyway, we'll likely see Pit and Palutena again in Smash Brothers 4. I think Smash Brothers Brawl took under 2 1/2 years to make, so the 4th title should be ready in 2014.
first of all what he really said is someone else would develop it..........
he is working on smash now........he wouldnt have the time

I share this sentiment.
@Stealth
I clearly provided the quote where Sakurai stated someone else would work on it.
I also think it won't take him 25 years to finish the next Smash Brothers.

Sin & Punishment 2's a great game but the sales were apparently terribly low. I don't Nintendo will green light a third title anytime soon.

I think you and I would get along well, Chris!

It's a shame because Kid icarus was a great game. I would love to see a Wii U version down the line even if it's not made by sakurai. Retro might be a good choice especially if they are working on Star fox
Even though I was a bit disappointed with Uprising, I enjoyed it enough to want another one, hopefully with either
A) Better controls.
B) Focus solely on either flying or land levels.

Better than diluting and killing off all your "original" IPs

BOO!!! Me wants more! I was hoping Sakurai would make another after finishing the next Smash Bros. Hope he changes his mind.
And screw the haters, the controls were fine so long as you had the mental capacity to adapt to a control scheme that doesn't center around dual analog.

The flight controls work great but the ground is a bit awkward. I've managed to get used to it but I still feel like I'm just slogging through the ground levels to get to the next spectacular flight sequence
I'm with you! Uprising took a bit of time to get acquainted with, but once you get past the initial control scheme, the game is throughly enjoyable. Still, as much as I liked Uprising, I would love to see a proper side scrolling platformer sequel.
Well, when people bash these more original titles because they can't sit down and attempt to adapt to new/different controls, who can blame Nintendo for being wary?
Besides, I'd rather see Sakurai tackle different projects in future.

Truly great game and one of the best on the 3ds because I actually replay levels and multiplayer. I would love to see another team try to do a Kid Icarus game anyways.
"Am I crazy in thinking that Nintendo should nurture more original properties in their lineup?"
Not even the slightest bit damn crazy there. Hell, I'd just like to see Nintendo make any brand-new, major original properties, PERIOD. At least TRY to give us a new IP that's the next Mario or Zelda already. Hell, even the next Pikmin would do.
And yeah, the big N needs to take better care of some of their lesser-knowns or lesser-used. as well. Wouldn't mind seeing StarTropics make a comeback...

Guys, guys. The problem isn't Nintendo not knowing what the gamers want, it's the gamers not knowing what Nintendo wants.
Obviously if they can milk the same IP(Mario & Friends) multiple times a year, they're going to do that. It's like Call of Battlefield 3:Modern WW2:Judgement Day the Third. If the system works, you do NOT deviate.
...now if you'll excuse me, I need to go wait for my Xenoblade Chronicles to arrive...tomorrow... =[

Also I want another fucking ice climbers. I was like one of 12 people who owned that. Fuck your ssb, give me a proper eshop release. Hd the old one even. Just get your head out of the fucking clouds Nintendo. I think you're going to trip. I don't want that.
Why does the next Kid Icarus have to be modeled after the one that's out now? Make it an adventure game, or a platformer or something. Give it a new spin.
It was a good game wrapped up in the worst control scheme I have ever had the displeasure of "enjoying".
It is an incredible shame when a game is bogged down like that, I just can't fathom why they didn't just change them, even Nintendo themselves apparently thought something was wrong yet they did nothing, pack a cheap plastic stand and call it a day.

There's no way Nintendo won't make another Kid Icarus game. Not after all the hype and promotion they put into the game. Maybe Sakurai won't make another Kid Icarus game, but that doesn't mean other developers can't take a shot at it. Why not give it to Retro Studios? They seem to do a pretty awesome job at revitalizing Nintendo games.
Which of course be delayed in 2037. Man, Nintendo's becoming the new Valve.
PLACE YER' BETS HERE, Kid Icarus Uprising sequel or Half-Life 2: Episode 2: Part 2: The Electric Boogaloo, which one will be released first!?

This worst control scheme? Wow, you must not play too many games.
Anyways, as sad as this is, I'm always looking forward to a new/original Sakurai game.

Well, the last games was pretty much a yawn....so I'll be the better man and LET Nintendo take 50 more years.
Nintendo: "We hate making games. Here, have a bunch of nonsense gaming machines like portables with multiple screens and a stylus. Also, we're naming our consoles after what babies do in their diapers. Also, we're ruining the Mario series by making them shitty tech demos and selling them to you."
Gamers: "We lurve yew, Nintendo!"
Nintendo: "WTFz?"

Aside from how good or bad Kid Icarus was, I don't really believe much of what Sakurai says right away. He's proven pretty thoroughly over the last year (at least) that he and Nintendo don't communicated very well.
I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo makes another one without him (or even other games with his mark, without him...), he's only really speaking for himself (like he always seems to do), not the company.

Nintendo puts out a lot more new(er) 1st and 2nd party IP than people give them credit for. Xenoblade Chronicles, Sin and Punishment, Fatal Frame, Snowpack Park, Rhythm Heaven, The Last Story the list goes on.
The question is, did any of you actually buy any of those games? Do you plan to?

@Jon
Yep! I buy 90% of them. I don't count games like Sin and Punishment or Last Story though -- those aren't first party Nintendo titles -- anyone can opt to publish a game (if anything, Microsoft publishes more games than any other company out there -- they publish the majority of XBLA games, which is quite an undertaking). Also, iirc, Grashopper made Tsukihami no Kamen (Fatal Frame); which was preceded by Tecmo. Regardless of semantics, I usually do buy most of those anyways, because I'm generally starving for Wii games.
Also, I would have namedropped Dillon's Rolling Western and Pushmo before Snowpack Park :p
