The question is will these be full length episodic releases. or 5-minute shorts to promote Kid Icarus? I think if Nintendo went the route Microsoft did and released an actual anime series with full length 20-30 min episodes then this would be a huge success. Millions of 3DS owners would tune in to see the anime. Not to mention in 3D the anime would look amazing I have never seen anime in 3D, I think the anime would definitely boost interest and sales in Japan more then anywhere else. However I suspect the anime would have a positive effect on North American and European sales as well.
Its a great idea, then if its very successful Nintendo could release the season on Blu-Ray and DVD. Maybe even air it on television like Kirby and Pokemon are. This could lead to toy deals and even a movie deal if Nintendo played their cards right, they could turn Kid Icarus into a huge block buster franchise. It has all the potential, imagine a live action film being made!
Kid Icarus has so much potential I hope Nintendo uses every drop!
