Wii-Spieler warten schon länger sehnsüchtig auf eine Kid Icarus-Ankündigung von Nintendo. Die Entwickler von Over The Top Games wollen die Wartezeit wohl mit einem WiiWare-Titel versüßen, der den Namen Icarian: Kindred Spirits trägt. Ihr schlüpft in die Rolle des Engels Nyx, die auf die Erde kommt, um ihren Freund Icarus (Zufall?) zu retten. Mit Hilfe der Götter und der Pointerfunktion der WiiMote muss man sich allein oder mit bis zu einem Freund im Koop-Modus auf die Suche in Altgriechenland machen, um Icarus zu retten.
Preis und Releasedatum stehen noch offen, der Plattformer soll aber schon bald erscheinen. In unserer Galerie findet ihr Bilder und Artworks von der Homepage.
