| Cheebee said: Well if it IS real then it'll be a port of the 3DS version. The dual screen stuff would transition quite well to WiiU and its Gamepad, I think. Sakurai said they wouldn't make another Kid Icarus for a looooooong time, right? |
He said he put everything he had into this game to make up for 25 years since the last one and hoped that the game would be good enough that they don't make another one for 25 years, hence the bit at the end of the game where one character estimated it would take them that long to come back. Kid Icarus sold well but probably could have been better (at least in the Western territories) if it was a console game and if it does, Nintendo would likely get another Kid Icarus game out there well before Sakurai's self imposed 25 year rule.
As a fan of the game, I hated Sakurai for that statement but in truth all it means is that he is unlikely to work on another Kid Icarus game. That being said, Nintendo needs games on the Wii U, a HD port of KI: Uprising would be a good game for the system (especially if they make sure it is a legit HD upgrade like they say Wind Waker is going to be and not a cheap upscale port) and the Wii U could certainly use quality software of that caliber.
