Matt Assamassina strikes again :lol

 

[Bluemercury]

Matt joins ***** and the Inquirer as the most reputable sources in gaming.

dont understand matt's hate really, he's usually spot on...

 

[Archie]

God of War type game without generic rage please.

 

[ManaByte]

DEAD PHOENIX LIVES

 

[Kevtones]

Yeah, remember Dead Phoenix?

 

[PolyGone]

hey guys check this out:

Play: When the industry trends change, Nintendo doesn't conform. They innovate, and you are usually the innovator. I was really surprised when I heard about The Sims. 'Cause I thought you were going to come and say, maybe, another Kid Icarus, and take another legendary brand and shock the world. Do we still have something like that to look forward to? Is Nintendo going to start shying away from the platform game?

Miyamoto: Ah, at last, Kid Icarus finally appears in an interview this year at E3 (laughs).

Apparently being asked a lot about Kid Icarus, just as he was getting asked a lot about Metroid during the N64 years. And now we have Metroid. Could history be repeating itself? I say.... yes. Definitely, yes. This was in 2003, if they started development even the year after that would mean Kid Icarus has been in the works for 2 years already, going on 3.

Herd mentality

Also Kameo sucks.

 

[John Harker]

There isn't anything wrong with the man.

"Assamassina"? C'mon, ya'll just the same people that say M$, aint ya.

Matt's a pretty cool guy, if you ask me. I don't get the hate.

I sure hope he's right too. This would be ****ing awesome.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

:lol Awesome, Trin.

Nintendo didn't develop it at all. Capcom did. It's just going to be Dead Phoenix.

I never said Nintendo was the one developing it, now did I?

 

[thetrin]

:lol Awesome, Trin.

Haha, thought you'd appreciate that. Was waiting for someone to say something.

 

[ManaByte]

I never said Nintendo was the one developing it, now did I?

But you said "This was in 2003, if they started development even the year after that would mean Kid Icarus has been in the works for 2 years already, going on 3."

It wasn't developed as Kid Ikarus though. They're taking a canned game and slapping Kid Icarus on it.

Yeah but it was around that time that Dead Phoenix was announced, and then shortly after that we never heard or saw anything of it again. What I'm saying is Nintendo saw Dead Phoenix, told Capcom why do Dino Planet when it could be Starfox Adventures, only replace Dino Planet with Dead Phoenix and StarFox Adventures with Kid Icarus. I hope I'm making myself clear here.

 

[Zerodoppler]

Do you hate new games or something?

Yes.

But seriously, I think mini-budget sequels to NES classics could be a very neat addition to the virtual console.

 

[koam]

Yes.

But seriously, I think mini-budget sequels to NES classics could be a very neat addition to the virtual console.

We'll get those.. and real 3d games too.

 

[thetrin]

Yes.

But seriously, I think mini-budget sequels to NES classics could be a very neat addition to the virtual console.

As cool as that would be, I would rather they either do a full blown game for the Wii, or a pseudo 2D sequel for DS.

 

[McBacon]

Let's get some ART!

OH DEAR, WHAT HAVE I DONE

PHEW, ITS OK

 

[PolyGone]

Let's get some ART!

yes to the first but HELL NO to the other two. what were you thinking?

 

[fly high ~ayunite~]

I'd rather have Ice Climbers instead.

 

[thetrin]

yes to the first but HELL NO to the other two. what were you thinking?

I am in total agreement.

 

[thefro]

I'd rather have Ice Climbers instead.

Ice Climbers is lame... Kid Icarus Wii would be like Zelda + Metroidvania + DMC/God of War + Dead Phoenix.

 

[McBacon]

yes to the first but HELL NO to the other two. what were you thinking?

He doesn't crop up too much on google images

 

[PolyGone]

How much does anyone want to bet that Nintendo will release a new Ballon Fight, 8 Player via online and in 3d for the virtual console?

any takers?

 

[nubbe]

The Super Smash design is awesome already... Why change it? >_>

Kid Icarus play style should be like GoW...

I can see the title already... Kid Icarus: Armageddon

Oh Jesus god, please no.

[Ghengis Cohen]

Nothing makes you feel good about yourself more than bad fan art.

 

[suaveric]

The internet fanboys will go nuts if/when the game is announced, but I can't imagine the market is very large for this game. Was this game half as popular as the old Metroid games? There was a reason they stopped making sequels after number 2, right?

 

[Oblivion]

I love the way Pit looks in SSBB. An excellent evolution a la Link.

The world needs more platformers so I hope this is true.

 

[Larry Bird]

Don't pass out or anything. This is really JUST a rumor at this point and we have no reason to believe it's true. But that said, one of the things floating around GC 2006 right now is that Matt Casamassina is apparently gay.

Again, a rumor. R-U-M-O-R. And it's more likely to be false than not, which is why I'm merely posting it to the boards right now.

Say it with me: Rumor.

Good. Now that we have that out of the way, sure would be pretty cool if it could, by some chance, turn out to be true.

Larry

 

[thetrin]

Did everyone forget it's called Kid Icarus, and not Bald Buff Space Marine Icarus?

 

[Zoramon089]

Yeah but if it's in SSBB you know it'll be popular. Just look at FE in the US, relatively unknown now popular.

 

[Y2Kev]

Did everyone forget it's called Kid Icarus, and not Bald Buff Space Marine Icarus?

Did I hear someone say "photoshop"?

WHY, YES, KEV, YOU DID.

BWAH HAHAHAHA

 

[Oblivion]

Also, I met Matt and E3 and he was a pretty cool guy. The hate is sorta unjustified imo.

you do realize it's been almost 20 years since the original was made right? There's going to be a whole lot of changes made to it gameplay wise, and I think the Nintendo market is ready for this kind of character/setting to round out the other fantasy/sci-fi adventures.

 

[Angelcurio]

Priceless :lol

 

[Greenpanda]

What type of game do you think a new Kid Icarus would be? A 3rd person Adventure game?

I'm pretty skeptical that this will actually materialize, but...

if a new Kid Icarus were to be announced, I was thinking more along the lines of a 3rd person 3D action game. This type of game is really popular right now (Devil May Cry, God of War, Ninja Gaiden, etc.), but Nintendo doesn't really have any entries of its own in the genre. I think Kid Icarus could be fit into this genre pretty well--the original had levels/stages, not a continuous world, after all--and it would fill a gap in Nintendo's roster ... -though the Greek mythology theme might run a little TOO close to God of War's.

Nintendo already has Metroid and Zelda for exploration-heavy series, so I'd prefer to see something different with a Kid Icarus game.

edit: And, yes, TheTrin's avatar is fantastic.

How bout a 3D platformer instead?

 

[Johnas]

This game will happen. BELIEVE.

You're quite right. One of the things the PS2 library completely has over any other system is its wealth of 3D action titles. I suppose you could say Zelda has a lot of good action gameplay, but that's not really the main draw of that series. Kid Icarus would fill a very large void in Nintendo's lineup, methinks.

And for the record, I think a new Kid Icarus would do VERY well, sales-wise. There's a lot of people out there who would remember the name, and not just Nintendo-heads.

 

[MrSardonic]

Confirmed.

:lol

 

[jarosh]

OH. MY. GOD.

 

[sammy]

God of War type game without generic rage please.

and without the bald.

EDIT:
agreed ----- Pit looks damn near perfect in SSBM brawler.

 

[Father_Brain]

Someone explain this to me.

Dead Phoenix had a dark, realistic art style.
Both Kid Icarus games had cute, anime-style art with ridiculous enemies like the Eggplant Wizard.

Dead Phoenix was an aerial shooter.
Both Kid Icarus games were platformers.

So, why the f*** do people keep connecting the two?

 

[DDayton]

But it's so obvious it's going to happen. Maybe not this week, but sometime in the Wii's lifetime. They've hinted at it last year, he's in Brawl now, and it's going to be a virtual console game...smells like a perfect opportunity to release a new game for the series with these opportunities.

... just like the new Ice Climbers game and the N64 Metroid game, right?
