Yeah, your logic is flawed, but Kid Icarus is basically already confirmed to be in development. We're just waiting for the official announcement (E3 09?).

IGN are idiots. They were talking about Kid Icarus before E3. It wasn't there. They talked about Kid Icarus before the recent press conference. It wasn't there. Each time they talked about how they weren't sure why it wasn't there!

Instead, Nintendo announced Motion Plus and Wii Speak at E3, announced some games like Wario Land and Captain Rainbow around the same time, and announced DSi and about a dozen new games at the recent press conference. IGN was instrumental in breaking NONE of these stories. I think they may have talked about Punch Out!!, but that's it.

They should take all the time they waste yapping about Kid Icarus, a game which may or may not be in development by Factor 5 or another developer, and use it to talk about things that actually exist. Or else they should prove KI exists.

Their "industry connections" are obviously pretty weak when they hang their hat on breaking that Halo DS story. Y'know, how the game was in development, and they proved it by producing a playable demo from when it wasn't greenlighted?

The problem is, even if they did have an inside scoop, they can't really talk about it, because they are bought and paid for by game publishers. That's why they've played this game with Kid Icarus, where instead of producing proof and running a story, they've just "hinted" about the game in podcasts. They just exist to run previews and reviews when the publishers want them to, with the content they want, without asking questions, in exchange for ad revenue. Too much in terms of actual journalism will threaten that relationship.

Long story short: believe in Kid Icarus Wii when you see it.

IGN's word is law.

While I do think that Kid Icarus Wii is going to be made and is being made right now. I don't think that logic is good enough to say he will be in a game on the Wii. However, if that logic is true then:

Golden Sun 3!!!! :O Issac was an assist trophy! Golden Sun 3. /me faints.... I can dream, can't I. lol

Punch Out is bloody obvious. Not like WS wouldn't clue you in to assuming a boxing game would turn up.

I want real information from real sources. To be honest if i was an employee IGN would be the last people i would tell anything. Theyre a big company and would almost certainly ruin the surprise.

well we know that factor 5 are making a game for nintendo we just dont know what it is

No, the reason there is Sin and Punishment 2 is because of it's VC sales, It has nothing to do with Saki being in SSB.

Like everyone said your logic is flawed, If that was the case why isn't there no new Ice Climbers, R.O.B and Game and Watch games?

Why isn't Mother 3 and Stafy games localized?

I won't get to an argument on why IGN is full of sh!t about Kid Icarus, other than the fact they don't have any proof of its existance, if they really have inside info why didn't they announce Punch-Out!!, S&P2 and Another Code2 beforehand and hyped about them?

They don't know anything, they just made it up.

I believe in Kid Icarus Wii.

I really wish they'd officially announce it and end all this speculation.

Kid Icarus is probably real. I trust the IGN guys more than any other site.

Oh and Punch-Out characters were also present in Captain Rainbow...

Dont bet on it... Its not true, after the dozen of Ninty announced in the last conference which they published why no Kid Icarus? Again, no Kid Icarus...
