Just like they were sure there would be 3-5 3rd party characters in Brawl, right?

"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks

Regardless, I suspect that Animal Crossing is the big game they were referring to. Looking at the sales of the DS version, you can surely understand why; just over 9 million copies sold worldwide is nothing to scoff at. That's certainly more than Pikmin games have sold, more than F-Zero or Pilotwings games have sold, and far more than Kid Icarus ever sold.

Without knowing anthing about it I can't say that I want it ... but I am very curious.

In a similar fashion to how Metroid Prime mixed adventure elements with First Person shooter elements, Kid Icarus has the potential to be an interesting Hybrid game; personally, I would want a hybrid of platformer (pseudo Banjo-Kazooie style) and adventure game (Zelda). At the same time Nintendo could take it in the direction of God of War, which I think would be a mistake but other people would probably love.
