Where am I going with this? Pit, according to the original game’s manual, was in charge of Palutena’s personal body guards. Not exactly the position of a kid. Throughout the game, he had to gather the three legendary artifacts AND the strength to prove he was worthy of using them against Medusa. Now let’s add the clues that factor 5 seems to be giving us..

He’s an adult, cursed for a thousand years, and is considered a “fallen angel”… Perhaps he was an adult when he was the leader of Palutena’s personal bodygaurds, but did something that, though noble, was still a crime, perhaps one of treason… How about standing against Palutena’s decision to turn Medusa into a monster. That was kinda cruel. What he even was wise enough to warn Palutena that Medusa would make due on her threat to take back the Palace in the Sky? Since standing against a goddess like Palutena would be treason, he may have been cursed to remain in the underworld prison.
Cue Medusa leading an army into the Palace in the Sky, taking over, Palutena realizing that Pit was right, then mustering what strength she has left to send Pit a bow and arrows, plus a way to escape his curse: become a kid and re-prove his strength to Zeuz, so he may once again be allowed to use the legendary items and fight Medusa to save the Palace in the sky.

That seems to flush the old story out quite well while adding some emotional involvement in the story. It also makes Pit being a “fallen angel” not as bad as it sounds… Did I mention I write games for a living?

Right, pleasantries aside, this concept art looks epic.

Epic fail, I mean.

The Pit we all know and love is an adorable little brave angel who goes on a quest to save his Palutena. This – I don’t know what the hell it is – just sucks. Where’s the correlation between this fugly emo crim and the cute innocent Pit that we love? I mean what are they thinking? Are they even thinking at all??

1st Factor 5 dude: Hey I got this like, totally epic idea! Let’s make a game about a fallen angel!! That’ll sooooooo rock!!!!! w000t!!
2nd Factor 5 dude: But man hasn’t that been done before?
1st Factor 5 dude: Yeah, s’a problem… *thinks* Hey, I know! That kid from brawl, all those oldies are making a fuss over him, what’s he called again? Yeah let’s just use his name and and all the fanboys will rush out to buy it! EPIC WIN!!

No guys, you’re doing it wrong.

The Brawl Pit is perfect (the only complaint I have is his voice sounds a bit too old in the English release). Nintendo got his transition to 3D just right. I’d be très gutted if they did all that just to turn him into this fug. You’re going to lose a lot of fans if you go ahead with this Factor 5.

But…

I can see where Factor 5 is going with this, remember in the original Kid Icarus game how there are multiple endings? Well, if done right you get an ending of Palutena turning Pit into an adult then kisses him on the cheek. Maybe factor five is going from there? Yet in Kid Icarus of Myths and Monsters which is the supposed sequel to the NES Kid Icarus game, Pit is STILL a child. So I can see some lope holes with this whole ordeal. Now that was just logical thinking….now for my opinion.

I too believe that Nintendo has been getting a little dark lately, look at Twilight Princess. >.>;

What ever happen to Nintendo? I remember growing up with all these lovable fun characters like Pit and now all of a sudden they’re getting dark…and they wish to make Pit a criminal? Come on, I already see enough of these games already! It’s like the Jak & Daxter series, it started out cute but turned into something else. In my opinion some games actually do pull it off like the Zelda series, Jak & Daxter, etc. But Pit…no, I can’t see him like that. I think Nintendo should actually REMAKE the NES Kid Icarus for the Wii!

Few people know about Pit, they really do since he’s been long forgotten only those raised in the 80s will remember him, lol! XD

Yet when he came out in Brawl that really sparked his popularity back and a lot of new generation gamers are interested in him and want to find out more about this cute little Angel! So why not start off new? Get voice cast members, redo the whole game with better graphics and just more to it! That would be so cool!

But if they just do a third game, I hope they can keep it real to the Kid Icarus series and keep Pit true to himself. If they go with the Fallen Angel theme I hope to see some what of an interesting plot or at least be creative about it…hope Nintendo plays their cards right because if they mess this up, a lot and I mean A LOT of Kid Icarus fans will be displeased. So if you’re reading this Nintendo think wisely about your decisions here and what you’ll do with Kid Icarus…after all you are dealing with a piece of long forgotten yet lovable character that has captured the many hearts of fans! So don’t mess this up!
