Everyone wants another Kid Icarus, we know. But what about Nintendo’s other classics? Like, say, Mach Rider? Or Clu Clu Land? Or Urban Champion? Or…wait, did we say “classics?”
News Blips:
• Want a new Kid Icarus? Hold your halos. Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto told Nintendo Power that he is asking impatient Nintendo fans to “wait, please” for the next Kid Icarus. OK, let’s try this out: waiting. Waiting. Ah, to hell with this. [GoNintendo]
• CliffyB into waving arms, just wants to care about it. Outspoken Gears of War designer Cliff Bleszinski says he’s thinking of ideas for Microsoft’s spaz-happy Project Natal doohickey, but believes he will stick with traditional controllers for the near and distant future.
