quote from Wii-Ware World:
Those of you that possess a fondness for the NES classic Kid Icarus might be interested to learn that Spanish developer Over The Top Games has announced its first title for the WiiWare service, named Icarian: Kindred Spirits. The game appears to be a 2.5D platforming epic and shares many similarities with Nintendo's legendary title.
Visually it's all looking very polished indeed, and the art style is certainly a cut above the usual stuff we're used to with the vast majority of WiiWare games.
Check out the official site for more info.
Experience with ICARIAN: KINDRED SPIRITS™ the awesome story of Nyx, an enigmatic winged girl, that must descend from heaven in search of her missing friend Icarus.
Overfly the ruins of ancient Greece and avoid falling into blazing sands or perishing in the claws of cruel harpies and hydras.
You will need the help of Zeus and other benevolent Gods from Olympus to summon their powers. They will let you cast rays, modify the scenery and control winds at your wish...
With your own wrist movements and pointing to the game screen, you will be able to achieve these and many other feats in this new and enjoyable Wii™ platform game.
Fly, aim and shoot using the new and fullest potential of your Wii Remote™.

Let's wait until then.
And see if this game can be considered a sequel or something to Kid Icarus. ;)
I don't see how it can be considered a sequel. Inspired by, perhaps, but not a sequel. It does look interesting, though.
