[ VGMuseum ] If there’s a Kid Icarus reboot in the works somewhere at Nintendo, Metroid: Other M producer Yoshio Sakamoto , who worked on the original NES game, doesn’t know anything about it. “I don’t know personally about any project underway regarding Kid Icarus, ” Sakamoto told Kotaku , “but if so many of those people are interested in it and really want to see it on the Wii, they should really speak up.” It’s not as simple as making a Zelda game with flight, apparently (that’s our guess for what people want in a Wii Kid Icarus game)

There is no further explanation given, so unless Jaffe is starting some obtuse alternate reality game, we’ll take the document at face value. The lawsuit was an alleged copyright infringement claim , filed by a pair of plaintiffs who had submitted a screenplay entitled Olympiad to Sony Pictures in 2002.
