Odd's for Kid Icarus / Dreams for the game

Just to play the Devil's advocate, I remember when SSBM was released I thought there would be a new Ice Climbers game, why else would they include a pair of no-name eskimos in the cast if there weren't plans for a sequel. Now in 2006, there is no Ice Climbers game and no plans for one either. My point is: Smash Bros. appearance doesn't mean a sequel.

The Fire Emblem arguement isn't applicable - Nintendo had at that point been making Fire Emblem games consistently, and the only thing Marth/Roy's presence brought from SSBM is opening the franchise up to western gamers. They would have continued making Fire Emblemms weather or not they had been in SSBM, Ice Climbers however was at that point a dead franchise, and being featured in SSBM wasn't enough to revive it.

I do however agree that a Kid Icarus sequel is long overdue, and they seem to have put more effort into redesigning Pit than they did with the Ice Climbers - perhaps there may be plans for a revival? I don't think it's absolutely going to happen, but I sure hope so.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
