The “Kid” is coming to E3 – Kid Icarus that is

Kid Icarus is making his comeback, and I can’t think of a better place for his debut than E3. Apparently, Nintendo feels the same way, as the E3 2008 game listings shows that Kid Icarus Wii will be in attendance in some way, shape or form.

Of course it doesn’t provide much information on the game itself. The release date and publisher are both listed as TBA. It does explicitly state that it will be a Wii action/adventure game though. The listing also mentioned the original Kid Icarus for the NES as challenging, and the Gameboy Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters as being a bit anti-climactic.

Kombo.com did report a rumor that Factor 5 was working on Kid Icarus Wii back in January 2008. Kombo also ran a story on concept artwork for Kid Icarus Wii back on May 8, 2008, and also ran a story on a retail listing for Kid Icarus Wii on May 15, 2008. Since the E3 listing doesn’t offer an image with any of the concept art pieces or confirm Factor 5′s involvement, we’ll have to wait until E3 2008 to know the truth.
