Kid Icarus needs to be a DMC/GoW-style hack 'n' slash. =P

Kid Icarus GOES TO HELL. Little angel boy slicing and dicing gigantic demons, blood splattered all over his face. How awesome would that be?

I started Zelda back in the 80's as well. Not every game in the series has been a revolution like the original or Ocarina, but that doesn't mean they haven't been excellent games. I will hand it to you though, it's quite something that Zelda is your favorite series and you skipped the critically acclaimed(as all Zeldas are) Minish Cap. I'm really enjoying Phantom Hourglass right now and have almost finished it, but feel that I'll end up preferring Minish Cap over Hourglass.

I honestly feel 90% of views like that wouldn't exist if Nintendo had kept the outsourcing secret, or if people didn't get such a kick out telling everyone that most everything new stinks, and most everything old was a masterpiece. I'm not saying that's what you do man, but you see that going on in just about any forum you go to.

People really shouldn't expect games in a great series to reinvent the wheel every time a new one comes around. It's almost like expecting every time you kiss someone to be like your first kiss: you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

thats a pretty good idea

BOOO! If Kid Icarus is to be made, it needs to be done by Nintendo. I enjoyed Rogue Leader a LOT, but still...

Ah finally. I hope this is true.

anyone saying Kid Icarus would be "flying around" killing enemies all the time has never played kid icarus. for most of the game he couldnt even fly. only the last level as far as i recall. when he had angel wings and mirror shield and light arrows.

aaah, the good old times. although the final boss (medusa?) was not really hard, after the pain that was the entire game...

i think it would be better if retro made it

I absolutely understand what you mean. But it's not that I expect every part to be a revolution. I just thought that the epic scope was missing, the story and setting just seemed a bit random. I played Minish Cap for some hours as well, and I had the same problem.

I mean, all the elements you'd expect are there - swordboomerangarrow, check. Hidden caves, check. And so on... but the Zelda series is one that is constantly walking a thin line between tradition and innovation anyway. So it's absolutely necessary for the developers to somehow reinvent the series with every iteration. I'm not talking about a revolution, just the little details... take "Phantom Hourglass" - not my favourite part, but the Zelda spirit is there from the beginning, although it is a very traditional Zelda game.

I hope Nintendo keep the series in-house for the future... I mean, it's one of their 2 top series and one of the most important games ever. They should not let anybody work on it but the very best, that's my opinion.

 that game is dam near impossible.  started playing it, fun as heck, but its just so dam frustrating.  it needs either a diffuculty curve or an easy mode to get a hang of the controls and random movements.  tis a platforming dream though.

Nintendo must really be busy nowadays.... They really need other developers to keep the momentum of games coming and to revive long forgotten franchises.
