IGN Wii-k in review

[albionus]

To anyone doubting the huge interest in Kid Icarus, here are some mailbag questions and answers from IGN (shortened to relevent sections):
" Q: Has there been any interest in the Kid Icarus franchise? I know the NES one rocked, but no Gameboy or SNES (would have been perfect) follow up was produced. Any slim chance we'll see Kid Icarus in the future?

A: It may comes as no surprise to you that Kid Icarus is one of three games we ALWAYS ask Miyamoto about when we meet him. The other two are Metroid and Excite Bike" Mar 26, 1999

"Q: In one of your interviews to Denis Dyack, he said he, after Eternal Darkness, wanted to make games more a kin to Metal Gear Solid, and BAM: suddenly he is working in a port of MGS to the Cube. Now, in another interview, he said he would like to see an update to Kid Icarus. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmh.

A: For those unaware, Dyack did recently say in a magazine interview that he would love to see a sequel in the Kid Icarus franchise. Wouldn't that be lovely, though? Right now it's just wishful thinking, but I'll definitely inquire about it later this week." Sep 2, 2003

"Q: What do you think of Kid Icarus coming to the Gamecube? I thought I remember reading about a rumor of it coming out for N64.

A: Kid Icarus is one of those NES classics that ranks right up there with Metroid in terms of gamer popularity and requests for a sequel." Nov 30, 2000

Q: basically asking Matt what games he is looking forward to playing at E3 06.

A: a lot of known games listed then ... "And where is my Kid Icarus sequel? Miyamoto said that he would make it if we wanted it, and we do." Jan 24, 2006
