I swear, this better be fake, cause in the one in a billion chance it's not... I'll kill you all *points* 
What am I talking about? Click over here: http://gonintendo.com/?p=42451 and see for yourself.
Rumour's have been flying around ever since Pit was revealed as a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Brawl that Kid Icarus was making its triumph return and becoming an active Nintendo franchise again.
IGN has been touting it for months now, Kid Icarus is coming to Wii, and rumour has it that Factor 5, the folks who made the Rogue Squadron series for the N64+GCN and Lair for the PS3 will be the developers.
It was bad enough to hear a rumour like that because, to be honest, I don't have faith in Factor 5 as a developer. They're very good at making games with great technical achievement, but as an overall developer, they're pretty poor at what they do... plus, if you've followed the Rogue Squadron series and Lair, you'd know that Factor 5 has been making THE SAME GAME OVER AND OVER since they made Rogue Squadron on the N64. Lair may be all about dragons and shit, but all it really is is Rogue Squadron in disguise.
And then what more do I see? This... THIS! I call fake *points at crappy FAN concept art. The title is Kid Icarus, not MAN Icarus. This isn't Rygar, it's not the new Prince of Persia, it's not Conan the Barbarian, it's not God of War! Gunpei Yokoi must be spinning in his grave!
I hope none of this becomes true and I hope Factor 5 isn't working on Kid Icarus... the best developer I can think of who would do well with the game would be Retro Studios. They have experience with Metroid, and I believe a good Kid Icarus game would blend the best of Metroid and Zelda for it to work. Factor 5 on the other hand is well suited to Star Fox.
