Forums - Nintendo - IF Kid Icarus Wii existed, what would you want it to be like?

Majin-Tenshinhan on 29 March 2009

There's been a lot of talk about Kid Icarus Wii ever since that lamer over at IGN started spouting about it saying it'd be at E3, then at the next convention etc. etc.

Either way, most of us seem pretty convinced that the title doesn't exist. I know I don't think it does.

But, if it had existed(or does), what would you want it to be like? This is a franchise that hasn't had a new installment for a very long time, most certainly not one in 3D, and it could go pretty much any way.

Personally, I'd want it to be 3D and somewhat like Zelda. So you have dungeons and stuff, and use the items/weapons you've gathered to guide yourself through the dungeons, while the Overworld would be a massive area where you could fly around to your heart's content. I guess they'd have to find some way to limit places so you can't get to them quite yet despite flight, but that shouldn't be too tough. So basically a 3D Zelda with flight. I know, not very imaginative or innovative, but I think I'd like it.

So what about you guys? How would you like Kid Icarus Wii to be IF it existed?

DISCLAIMER: This thread is not to contain discussions as to whether the title exists or not, simply discussion as to what you'd want it to be like if it did.

3D like Zelda OoT, the rest would plays itself out.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

If it exists, I don't think Nintendo is going to copy Zelda, why do a game twice? I would like to find something new and exciting in Kid Icarus, something innovative.

Zelda fan:"I'd want it to be like Zelda... but more awesome!!!"
Metroid fan:"I'd want it to be like Metroid... but more awesome!!!"
NES Kid Icarus fan:"I'd want it to be like the NES Kid Icarus... but more awesome!!!"

Yeah, I'm seeing a pattern here. And I fall into the second category so I'm just as bad. But I would insist on a non-adult-protagonist Kid Icarus.

Kid Icarus uses a harp, so I hope it's like Guitar Hero.

action/adventure rpg riddled with side quests and unlinear progression. I wouldve said like zelda but with wings, but then it would just be a zelda game, and not kid icarus

Maybe, it is going to be on rails.

What's with the Zelda copy comments?

Anyway, I'd like it to be like the original. Brutally hard, good visuals(for the time), and full of monsters and upgrades.



Pixel Art can be fun.

I think Kid Icarus would make a good hack-n-slash type game. Maybe one with some RPG elements.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
