Oooh I hope its this Xmas season... the Wii lineup is looking week and this would be the perfect thing.

Me wants.

I look forward to E3 to see whether i should be excited or not

 Well, I could be wrong but I am under the impression that Nintendo is hiding their Christmas relase not to remove attention to the likes of SSBB, Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit. That's why I am looking forward to E3 to see what they announce. I'm pretty confident that we will have a great Christmas.

Yup. Totally agree with you on that front.

I'm excited to see what Nintendo has in store for the holidays. It'll probably Kid Icarus (developed by Factor 5) and Animal Crossings Wii (launching in Japan first of course; i can see this tittle being pushed into January/ February for the US).

What i'm more excited about is what 3rd party games are coming out.

-Castlevania & Elebits 2 from Konami

-Another RE from Capcom (not RE:5 sadly, but probably another Rail-Shooter)

-Something from Ubisoft (Prince of Persia, Rayman Ravin' Rabbids--with wiifit board functionality!--, And whatever happened to Red Steel 2 (online anybody?)!

-Square-Enix might announce Kingdom Hearts 3 this year, releasing it Summer of 09 and releasing the DS & PSP versions this X-mas to hype us up.

-Platinum Studios (ex-clover studios) will, hopefully, anounce something grand for the Wii

Wow! Now i'm excited just frmo looking at this list!

Although I wasn't even born for the original, everyone seems hyped for this, so I'm interested to see what it's all about and if the fans will like what they get.

The first Kid Icarus game wasn't horrible. I downloaded it today, and even though the game is impossible (I can't get past lvl 1-2) and I can't even find out where to write in the codes (I'm sick of it, having played 3 hours and finishing 1 level, the game is good. Just damn impossible.

Any tip on where the hell you write in the passwords?

At first I thought Sony was gunna have the best 2008 year but looking at new titles being confirmed Nintendo's looking solid. First you get Kid Icarus and a new Zelda. What next? Kingdom Hearts? I might have to buy a Wii soon.

"Sigh"
I'm going to broke by the end of the year you know and this is not helping.

Factor 5 is not the developer of the Kid Icarus Wii game and it is not going to be an M-rated title. It will be rated like the Zelda games.


IGNcube: Will you make Kid Icarus for Revolution?

Shigeru Miyamoto: Well, I'm actually working really closely right now with the director of the [original] game. Now, whether or not when we get the Revolution all set up and everything is finalized, well who knows? That might be one of those characters where everybody says, "Hey, with the way our console is designed, that would be a perfect match." My question to you is, if we made this game would you buy it?

IGNcube: Absolutely.

Shigeru Miyamoto: Well, we obviously can't ignore that. Okay, we'll get the Eggplant Wizard coming back.
