Reliable sources spill the beans on Factor 5's new project...

Our friends over at Kombo have heard word that a new Kid Icarus title is being developed from the ground-up exclusively for Wii. Development is in the hands of Rogue Squadron experts Factor 5, once exclusive to Nintendo.

This would tie in to news we reported on a week ago, which stated that the development team had patched up relations with Ninty and were back on board the Wii.

The boy angel was last seen seventeen years ago in 1991 on the Game Boy in Kid Icarus: Of Myths And Monsters, though his status in Smash Bros. Brawl as a playable character is likely to raise his profile somewhat. Treat this as rumour until we hear something more definite - N-Europe will bring the latest as it breaks.
