for those of you who happen to; for whatever reason, enjoy kid icarus uprising. dont be counting on a sequel anytime soon. the director is not on board for such an undertaking and the effort to make uprising at least from the way things sound in the interview wasnt very worthwhile in terms of profits.

if you want one its likely you will be waiting another 25 years. so likely you will all be long dead by then

I would like a sequel so they could polish up the clunky ground controls. I enjoyed the gameplay alot otherwise. Too bad though.

I don't know what you're talking about, but it seems more like he doesn't think he could improve much.

Well probably not a railshooter/tps from Project Sora, but a Kid Icarus game in some form isn't out of the question! Uprising is showing legs so while this particular installment wasn't very profitable, it still has a shot at becoming a million seller.

According to VGC Kid icarus has sold ~100k more than Uncharted: GA, which is by far PSV's best selling title, worldwide.

And UC released first.

Im very confident that a new Kid Icarus will be made for the 3DS or next handheld. They arent going to let it hibernate again.

It's a largely accepted fact that the gamespot population is, in fact, above their 55 years of age. We all just act immature and pretend to be in college to remember the good ol' days.

Yeah. This is more or less a quote of we're not going to make a sequel that quickly. It might turn out to be like a Smash Bros thing, one per gen.

But you said the sheep would buy like 6 3DS to help Nintendo sell more, so if we do a little bit of maths, that would make 2, 666, 667 sheep with 6 3DS.

Ummm, what?

Firstly, whatever platform it's on, Capcom makes it. Not Nintendo. You expect Nintendo to pay off Capcom to keep making the game? Because that's about the only thing they could do. Good luck, because to my knowledge Nintendo never does that, and because Capcom is currently enjoying a Mega Man murder spree.

Secondly, Mega Man Legends is most definitely not a "nintendo platform exclusive franchise". Mega Man Legends 1 and 2 were on the Sony Playstation. Nintendo only got Mega Man 64, a port of the first Legends game.

Sakurai has never like making sequels too much. That's why he left Nintendo. He was tired of making Kirby sequels and left to make new thing. Funny, cause he has always found his way back to SSB though. For the better.

Project Sora wiki

Read up ppls

Nintendo founded Sora -> It's a subsidiary of Nintendo -> Sakurai is "key people" -> Their/His next project is Smash Bros. 4

Sakurai has never like making sequels too much. That's why he left Nintendo. He was tired of making Kirby sequels and left to make new thing. Funny, cause he has always found his way back to SSB though. For the better.

AmayaPapaya

Given the facts I don't see that. Sure Sakurai might've been bored but I doubt he would "leave" Nintendo, he's a very talended game designer and Nintendo is looking to expand; perfect match?

The thing is you need to treat talented people well otherwise they won't be able to perform to their fullest potential and thus get bored. But leave the company? to do what, iOS games for a living?

I think it was implied that he wanted Sakurai/Project Sora to do Kirby 3DS, of course HAL could be developing some kind of Kirby game as we speak.

It's ok... I'm still playing and loving Kid Icarus... MP and Looting are too good to resist, and since the two go together, I have to keep looting/fusing great weapons to stay on the top for online competition. :P I can see what he's saying though... frankly Kid Icarus kind of closes off very nice and very much leaves the game "done." Who else can Pit fight? You destroy the lord of the underworld, and have pretty much no other Gods to fight in that world I guess. I can't think of anything else or anywhere else this game could go frankly.

He doesn't talk about the game's profitability at all, he is talking about the insane effort required to build the game, and commenting on how he feels it's pretty perfect already. This isn't like Smash Bros., where you can add new characters and stages everytime- where does Kid Icarus go from here from a mechanical standpoint? Sakurai may already have achieved everything that he wanted to with the IP, which is why he's letting go of it. Sort of like how he ultimately ditched Kirby.

If you think that the average lifespan of a human is 30 years, then yes, we'll all be dead by then.
