Kid Icarus [Wii - Concept / Proto]
(4 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)
Loading ...
In 2007, Factor 5 were working on a Kid Icarus prototype for the Wii, to try to propose the project to Nintendo and start to work on the real game. This was not an official Kid Icarus game, but just an idea for a new action / flying game that could have became the next Kid Icarus. The Lair Engine for Wii tech demo from Factor 5 could have been used as the main 3D engine for this project.
While Factor 5’s collaboration with Brash (Superman for all three platforms) was cancelled, the company still works on both of their Wii projects. One of them might be Kid Icarus or a new game evolved from this prototype.
Some concept artworks were found by Kombo on January 2008.

They should use the Pit from Smash Bros. Brawl instead of this high tech future design… seriously it looks much better, besides Kid Icarus is supposed to be childlike, is it not? anyway, they should totally use the Pit from SSBB it would work way better.. and maybe give it HD Graphics and all that jazz… XD

I was doing my first unseen64 video on this Monokoma, would you be able to tell me if all this information is up to date? Is the company still working on a Wii project?

It seems so, they are all rumors for now, but it seems that Factor 5 is still working on some Wii projects, so one of these could be the Kid Icarus one. But nothing official as for now.

Factor 5 is now known as WhiteHarvest LLC. In fact, they have or had multiple Wii games in development. One of them was cancelled just last month, it was a conversion of “a large open world game”. I assume that they tried to do something with Superman (codenamed Blue Steel) but couldn’t find a publisher.
WhiteHarvest is now said to work on a new Rogue Squadron game (codenamed Blue Harvest) and probably also another game of which some assets were leaked (http://www.unseen64.net/2009/02/01/lair-engine-wii-tech-demo/). I believe the latter was to be presented earlier this year but is now getting Motion Plus support.

This claims a SNES Kid Icarus game was cancelled during development. No hard information, though, really.

I wonder if it’s just speculation / rumors or it was really in development. Anyway, as it’s a Nintendo title, probably we’ll never see anything from it :\

I have heard about a wii kid icarus game, rumors I heard were saying that it would be SSBB pit. I think this design works as in the NES version he was like a…kid and in SSBB he is a teen, well, now he is an adult

Pit cant be a super hi tech maniac he got to be ssbb pit! His time period is ancient greece, am i right? He needs to look it!
SSBB pit was great, he was modern by means of animation, i mean he was manga-y, and still fit the role of pit. He was a kid who was old enough to not be mistaken for cupid and not look like a twig and wore greek-ish toga, this new one has got it all wrong.
SSBB FOREVER!!!!!

WOW O____O…………. let’s just hope this isn’t the pit they’re using. C’mon this is crap to me, sorry if sounds mean but it’s just my opinion. I think SSBB Pit is good enough, at least he looks young in Brawl. and I dunno how Pit looks girly in SSBB. He doesn’t. anyways back on topic, NO i can’t accept this…………………….. Please let it be pit from SSBB, that’s all i’m asking.
