Factor 5 officially developing Kid Icarus for Wii?

August 4th, 2008 Posted in News, Wii, Written by Valay

For months now, there have been rumors bumbling about that Factor 5 is currently developing Kid Icarus for Wii. There have been a bunch of unconfirmed reports, but nothing official. A recent tidbit in the the latest IGN Nintendo Voicechat podcast, however, seems to confirm that the company is could be truly developing the  the title. When asked if he was concerned about Kid Icarus since Factor 5 said their next game would be casual, Matt Casamassina replied with, “That does concern me a little bit…I think we’ve said that, haven’t we [Factor 5 developing Kid Icarus]? If we haven’t said it, we’re saying it now…I mean come on, it’s no big secret to anybody.”

Doubts about Kid Icarus on the Wii began to perculate last month, when the game was a no-show at Nintendo’s E3 showing. However, since then, news has been reported that Nintendo’s policy includes not showing many hardcore titles at E3, and when games are ready to be revealed, fans will see the titles at the appropriate venue.

Personally, I usually don’t consider most things official until we see press releases, but this is the closest thing we’ve heard about in awhile, and is perhaps the closest thing to a confirmation.

    IGN keeps beating this horse. I hope it’s true, but IGN is like the single source for this. It’s definitely still rumor only.

    on-topic, i just hope, that if F5 is making a kid icarus, they stick with the art of SSBB, it’s way better than this art up there, that thing is awful

    I don’t think anyone would trust IGN 100%, unless someone on the crew works for Factor 5. :P This news doesn’t mean with even close to a 100% confirmation that Factor 5 is developing the game, let alone there actually being a Kid Icarus title in development.
