Major MP3 spoiler:

I think a BSM should get their own game! All the NPCs would want to chat with him but he'd just act busy at his desk job through the whole game, depending on his busy meter.

Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

I don't think resurrecting Kid Icarus would be useful in any way. Almost none even played the original and few would even recognize the characters of the game. What would be the point other than writing the words Kid Icarus on the box? There won't be anything resembling the old gameplay anyway.

There was some game they were working on waaaaay back when...What was it called again?  I remember it got canceled.  Ehh, forget it.  It must not have been too good if someone isn't posting it about every three posts or so.

Because it's a Ninty franchise I think that could be expanded, just like Retro did to Metroid...However, that's not to say I think Retro should do Kid Icarus (because it shouldn't be first-person... =3)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Retro made up of people who made the first HalfLife or something like that? If so then they probably should stick to FPS because that is more than likely their expertise.

Plus they have an amazing control scheme that really shouldn't go to waste!

It's not even a franchise, it's a random game. The question is less what would be expanded and more what would be kept? I don't think a 3d KI game would have anything in common with the original game except maybe for a few iconic characters.

I want a flying/adventure game. If they use the Kid Icarus name to get some extra points among the old school crowd is fine with me.

I also wouldn't mind if they get on a new IP, I always wanted to see how Raven Blade would turn out.
