My heart about skipped a beat when I put the pieces together and knew it was Kid Icarus. Admittedly when the gameplay was shown, I was a little let down with its flight shooter/ground combat hybrid form.
Then came the realization that it looks fantastic and it's just nice to see Pit back in action -- I've been waiting for this for fucking years. If anything, Nintendo proves to be a company not opposed to changing up the genre, so maybe I'll get the classic adventure/platformer I was hoping for one day.
Count me in for this one though, I'll do anything to ensure we get more Kid Icarus. With Sakurai behind it, I knew I'd love the art style -- he nailed the Kid Icarus theme in Brawl.
A couple cool things worth noting: Pit is charging up in a sauna-like pool of water similar to his NES days, and of course, EGGPLANT WIZARD!
There was some platforming, too, but it's obvious it won't be too prevalent.
