I Also Want to Irresponsibly Report on Kid Icarus Wii

Posted at 3:14 PM May 09, 2008

Here's the timeline:

1989—Nintendo releases Kid Icarus, which is awesome.
1990-2007—Nothing.
2008, Yesterday—IGN's Matt Casamassina says he's "really looking forward to Kid Icarus Wii" on an IGN podcast.

So it's one of two things: 1) Casamassina knows the game is coming out and accidentally forgot it hadn't been announced yet, or 2) like every other gamer on the planet, Casamassina assumes Kid Icarus is coming out for the Wii, because Pit was in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and why the hell would he be included if he wasn't going to appear in a new game, and also Kid Icarus would be perfect for the Wii with all of its arrow firing, and mostly because we all want it so bad.

I'm not sure which is the truth, but I've decided to post this story assuming it is happening, so if it isn't, maybe Nintendo feels stupid and decides to make it anyway. I'm not sure why I'm so excited, actually; although I loved the game as a kid, I downloaded it on the Virtual Console and I could not suck more at it.
