The whole situation is BS and a rumor from Matt (who probably should be disciplined for such).

Think about it. The game was only said by IGN and they claimed it would be at E3. If artwork for the game made it's way onto the internet, it would have tried to be covered up. It wasn't. Also, this would be a core title (or a "hardcore" one). Why now release another Kid Icarus? E3 08 was also Nintendo reaching out to the expanded audience. The core games of E3 were not mentioned in the press conference, but were still on the show floor. It just doesn't smell right.

Truthfully, I doubt Nintendo will buy Factor 5. They don't share the "DNA." They are conservative, so I doubt Nintendo will bail them out.

 

Wow, I can't believe some people still deny this game's existence.

Think about this Smashchu2, why would Matt Cassamasina lie about this game? What's his incentive? To get more hits for IGN, but they never even published stories about Kid Icarus. He only talked about it on the podcast.

These guys have actual inside sources, and I'm sure Cassamasina has friends that work at Factor 5. IGN never comments on a rumour until they get some sources to validate it. This is a pretty big thing to lie about, and then why would he stand by it for so long? I'm telling you bro, this game is in development.

The only problem is that with all the rumours about Factor 5 shutting down and what not, I don't know what the state of this game will be. They're gonna need some Nintendo help.
