Kid Icarus Wii details and concept art emerges May 9, 2008
That Factor 5 is currently developing a new version of Kid Icarus for the Nintendo Wii is one of the gaming world’s biggest rumours at the moment. And Kombo, the website that first started the whispers, has now revealed what it says are story details and concept art for the title.
These concept images are just that - concept - and do not necessarily mean that Factor 5’s Kid Icarus project has been given the official go-ahead, nor whether (if it has) that this artwork reflects the final art style of the game. Nevertheless, Kombo explains that the sketches were first uncovered in early 2008 and that the game’s artwork has progressed “considerably” since.
Rumoured details of the Kid Icarus plotline have also been discovered, with Factor 5 wanting to see an adult Pit (the game’s protagonist) being “cursed for a thousand years for a crime and becom(ing) a fallen angel.” A tattoo on Pit’s arm bears the inscription of his crime.
Both Nintendo and Factor 5 have declined to comment.

If adult, I guess it won’t be called “Kid” Icarus anymore…
Not sure if I like the “fallen angel” idea.
I know it’s still just rumors and concepts.
Hoping there is a game…just not sure I like these ideas.
I like Kid Icarus… I want to see a sequel… but PLEASE let this be no more than a hoax…. even though I know it is unlikely…
Ok… I will say this:
I was one of the many that scoffed at the name “Wii”. Now, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Perhaps I will grow to accept this version of Kid Icarus… especially if Retro creates it.
Still, “Fallen Angel”…. bleh….
‘Fallen Angel’ idea is borrowed from Final Fantasy VII in reference to Sephiroth.
The concept fan art look pretty cool. I wanna draw a Pit too.

I can’t wait to see Roth draw Pit.
Post that in the forums, mate!
I like the front post pic the best….all the other ones make him look kind of strange with the long hair, or they’re “too buff”
But the one on the front post is exactly what he should look like
Why don´t they just keep the brawl design???
Fallen Angel Are you F*ing kidding me
I’m starting to get sick of these nintendo games having this Dark vs Light theme
LOZ TP and Metriod both have that concept already.
