- Recoil, on 05/09/2008, -4/+47The name of the series is "KID Icarus". Turning him into an adult kinda ruins it... and the artwork looks a bit too much like Ubisoft's Prince Of Persia. I'm hoping they will use some Zelda elements in the game, but still come up with a very original style. The storyline should still be inspired by greek mythology, I'd like to see if they could find a worthy successor to Medusa as the villain.
- sato, on 05/09/2008, -1/+42Because Greek mythology is starved for good villains...?
- meruru, on 05/09/2008, -1/+21There is an alarming lack of vegetable based foes in today's games.
- laserdog, on 05/09/2008, -1/+19The real trick is to do this in a way that won't seem like "sloppy seconds" of God of War.
- Kenzan, on 05/09/2008, -1/+19I hope they include updated versions of the original game music, which was awesome.
- deaftly, on 05/09/2008, -12/+29The site is impersonating Heath Ledger atm.
- tapeworm77, on 05/09/2008, -6/+21TOO SOON!
- pixarfan, on 05/09/2008, -3/+16I am not a fan of the art direction, yet its still just concept... none the less this is a VERY cool report... we Rarely see this side of gaming, Dugg for good reporting!
- jdames1980, on 05/09/2008, -1/+11This has been one of their nicknames ever since the SNES vs. Genesis days.
- MaTT2011, on 05/09/2008, -2/+10Agreed. I dont see whats so wrong about using that friggin GREAT character design that the Smash Bro Dev's whipped up for brawl, that was a masterpiece of updated character design imo.
My guess is that this is just a red herring for PR purposes and that in actuality the design of kid icarus for his next gen debut has already been long finalized. - csonjeow, on 05/09/2008, -1/+7Ahhh, my first NES game. What great memories...damn that eggplant wizard.
- Lonecow, on 05/09/2008, -2/+8^ I'm guessing the game will just be called Icarus.
- o0joshua0o, on 05/09/2008, -1/+6It will be called "Teen Icarus", and he'll be all filled with emotional angst.
- shutaro, on 05/09/2008, -1/+6I concur... I find that Vegetables, as a whole, are a severely under-represented demographic in today's video games... Though, I feel the need to point out that an eggplant is actually a berry.
- Belldanime, on 05/09/2008, -3/+8Digg effect = K-k-kombo breaker?
We need a mirror. - Elranzer, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4No emo Pit, please.
- R0l0, on 05/09/2008, -2/+5No, revive Startropics damnit!
- defectDS, on 05/09/2008, -2/+5I'm pretty sure this site just scoured DeviantArt for every fanpic the could find.
Why do they all look like Jared Leto? - YellowSnowDemon, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3It will probably just be called Icarus. :D
- Narrwald, on 05/09/2008, -1/+4Direct link to picture gallery: http://wii.kombo.com/media.php?gameid=1499&type=1
- YellowSnowDemon, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3Or Kid Icarus: Warrior Within
- TheZorch, on 05/09/2008, -3/+6If true I have say to Nintendo ... ITS ABOUT ***** TIME!!!
- ijake, on 05/09/2008, -2/+5That's some of the worst drawn concept art I've ever seen.
- peregrine, on 05/09/2008, -1/+4So whatever happened to duggmirror to make it suck so much ass?
- solid12345, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2"My name's Pit. And your ass ain't talkin' your way outta this *****"
- wimmers, on 05/09/2008, -3/+5Mirror mirror on the internets, whos got one?
As long as they have the same music - im sold... - motang, on 05/09/2008, -5/+7Looks awesome...I hope it's true!
- robotderek42, on 05/09/2008, -1/+3STARTROPICS FTW! That game kicked so much ass. A definite remake is in order!
- Jarasmen, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2*sigh* Not that I really care, as I don't even own a Wii and I haven't even played Kid Icarus... but why do all those developers insist on making sequels that don't really look ANYTHING like the original? I mean, if you want to make a game about an adult winged guy with a bow - fine, just call it FlyGuy or whatever.
Anyway, these are just concept art, so they might be totally unrelated to the actual content of the finished game, so good luck with that.
Also it's awfully late, I'm posting about a game I probably won't ever play and I have no life whatsoever, thank you and goodnight. - Belldanime, on 05/09/2008, -3/+5Mirror. kthx
- hydroplane, on 05/09/2008, -1/+2One of the best OG NES games, hope it gets it redone right.
- tsinder, on 05/09/2008, -1/+2That was lost with Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom.
- Elranzer, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1There is no "Kid" Pit. He always was an adult in the game Kid Icarus. The title is just an American invention.
- Elranzer, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1A lot of these look like they're from the badly-animated (Korean0-animated) The Batman, Clone Wars, New TMNT, New Transformers, etc cartoons.
- mparker7410, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1True, but wouldn't Nintendo want some consistency among their assets?
- drez24, on 05/09/2008, -2/+3This was always one of my favorite games when I was younger. I wonder though if they can make a game that has that nostalgic appeal, but be good on its own right as well. Many franchises were successful with this concept (Mario, Zelda, etc.) though it seems difficult to do.
- strictnein, on 05/09/2008, -1/+2ICARUS FIGHTS MEDUSA ANGELS
- YellowSnowDemon, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1No, it's being developed by Factor 5.
- Narrwald, on 05/09/2008, -5/+6http://wii.kombo.com/media.php?gameid=1499&type=1
- inactive, on 05/09/2008, -1/+2wonder why they never made a sequel before. kid icarus was one of the original titans of nes. it would have been cool to see super kid icarus on the snes or something.
- inactive, on 05/09/2008, -1/+2It's not a mirror. It's the same damn site that Digg just killed in the first place.
*Thumbs down* - shawnanigans, on 05/09/2008, -2/+3Anybody heard anything about Project H.A.M.M.E.R.? And please don't make Pit shirtless and gay.
- Elranzer, on 05/09/2008, -0/+1Actually, the series is called "Angel Land Story" (in Japan), Nintendo of America only edited this because of the religious element in the name. Also, "Kid" Icarus (Pit) is actually an adult throughout the entire game (similar to Link in Zelda 2). If you beat the game, the cut scene's graphics show a more adult looking Pit, embracing Paulitina by the way.
The only incarnation of Pit that seems like a kid was in Captain N. - pwnerofnoobs, on 05/09/2008, -1/+2So Pitt is now a 13yr old tranny?
- Topher06, on 05/09/2008, -1/+2Why not make it realistic and have Pit look like a big fat bald tub with premature loss of feathers as what happens with most child stars.
- daridave, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1Teenager is the way to go. Doesn't look adult IMO...

http://hyipnews.freehostia.com/hyip - Bilabrin, on 05/09/2008, -1/+2Wow, I just got chills thinking about it. That game is so epic.
- robotderek42, on 05/09/2008, -1/+2The original NES music kicked ass too.
- Shissy, on 05/09/2008, -1/+21. This game isn't made by Nintendo, to our knowledge.
2. The Pit in Brawl is based off the kid Pit in Kid icarus.
3. *Spoilers* At the end of KI Pit is turned into a man by Palutena. -
