RUMOR: Classic franchise being revived for Wii, revealed at conference

null

Gamekyo are reporting a rumor of an announcement coming at Nintendo’s conference this week. They claim that Nintendo will announce a new title for Wii that is a revival of a classic franchise. Here’s what they had to say:

“We can announce today that Nintendo will reveal a new game for the Wii during this event which is actually an old franchise that everyone is waiting for.”

Okay everyone, place your bets. Is it Kid Icarus or Punch-Out? I think it’s very likely it’s one of the two, and I’m going to have to guess Kid Icarus. I knew this conference would deliver (my predictions for this conference, posted on WiiFuse, just keep coming true) and it looks like it will.

    @Krishna: Why would it be? If you mean the Art Style games, two more have already been announced so it can’t be those. And Gamekyo said it’s something we care about.

    This screams Kid Icarus. People have been clamoring for it ever since Smash Brawl was announced. I bet it’ll be a 3D Icarus. Should be fun.

    Just thought about something.. Kid Icarus isn’t actually a “franchise” really. It was one game. So it seems like that doesn’t fit anymore…

    @ Jim – 2 games! 1 for NES and 1 for GameBoy.

    Haha! True that. I also think it’s strange that people call things like Mario and Zelda franchises, when they’re really just trademarks. Franchise kind of implies they let you make your own Mario/Zelda games for your local region.
