I agree with the_vagabond07 (Bond 007?), they have to come up with some interesting article every once in a while to get some hits, because all they got right now are reviews of mostly shovelware and previews of future games to come, in a long future. They rather make this up, or maybe they are telling the truth, but they need to post something that interests people, they cant carry on by reviewing uninteresting games anymore. SSBB and MKWii are already more than half a year old, the hype and interest slowly faded away, they can't come up anymore with the great SSBB articles they had.

Nintendo and the 3rd parties didn't make a big, epic, long, original game for the Wii in a long time, and these sites are hardcore mostly, people get in to share their experiences or learn some new things about these games. Without the games, there's no good website, hence the moaning of Matt and Co.
I think they need some good games to talk about, to share with the readers, a game they can make a walkthrough for, a game they can share the secrets with us. But they can't cause there's no such game for the Wii right now, and there won't be until Q2 2009.

I understand these guys and I support them. I share their frustrations to some extent.

People need to realize that this game IS in development. Those guys at IGN have excellent connections and have no reason to lie about something like this. But when the game is officially announced, people are still gonna be like OMG, no one saw this coming!

Nintendo didn't but it was listed on an unofficial E3 web site, which leads me to believe they had a good idea that it might be shown..

Release Date: TBA
Platform: Wii

PLATFORM:    Xbox 360    Wii    PS3    PC    Nintendo DS    PSP    A-Z Select A-Z above to browse for a specific title Kid Icarus Wii Release Date: TBA Platform: Wii Publisher: Nintendo Developer: TBA Genre: Action Adventure Released way back in 1987 for Nintendo Entertainment System, Kid Icarus remains one of the most challenging video games out there. A 1991 sequel for Nintendo's Game Boy failed to do much for the series, which has wallowed as nothing more than a fanboy dream remake ever since. Until now. Kid Icarus Wii has moved from fantasy to reality and that's a very good thing. http://www.e3.net/games/?game_id=72

this is the real e3 website

http://www.e3expo.com/

e3.net is owned by UGO Entertainment - UGO.com which is not associated with e3. That page was put up to trick people into thinking it was the official page. I don't believe that UGO Entertainment actually knew what was going to be shown, and only posted what was confirmed + some speculations and wishful thinking.

 I was thinking the same thing. They don't have any news to really report, so they have to come up (or come back up)with things like this.

Still, Matt Cassamyassa shouldn't be beating a dead horse like this. If it is announced, OK then. But right now, he's making it look like an ET comeback; something that won't ever happen on a console again.

Something tells me you don't like him very much.

How many ppl have actually played the original Kid Icarus? It's not THAT good.

I'd much rather see Star Fox & Kirby & i'm sure Nintendo would too.

Although it might not have been that good (you could argue about that), the possibilitys to make this an amazing franchise are certainly there.

I might be finally justified in buying a Wii if this game ever sees the light of day. That would make 3 quality titles that I am interested in, along with Metroid and Zelda. Hopefully the console has seen a price cut by then. :)

Yes, it is.
