So I guess this would be the rumored Kid Icarus sequel? I didn’t expect it to be WiiWare, though, I was expecting a disc. I wonder how the format’s decided.
Not historically accurate!! fail!
and by historically, I, of course, mean “historically.”
actually sounds kinda cool.
looks pretty too
I’m not so fond of the point and move games. Anyone here actually enjoy those? I’d rather move the character with a d-pad or analog stick and jump with a button. Maybe I’m old fashioned, but it seems a lot easier than pointing and clicking all the time. My arm would get tired. Ha!
Other than that, I agree. This game looks pretty, especially for WiiWare.
@hattrick: I don’t really like the point and click to move games either… but I am a big fan of Kirby’s Cursed Canvas on the DS which lets you sort of draw a path of movement… but the game got pretty clever with uses for it, where I doubt a game of Icarian’s nature would be able to do the same. Not really too excited about this one personally.
That artwork reminds me a lot of the Ico concept art.
