Kid Icarus/Trivia

• Fan Nickname:
  • "Man Icarus" for the original third sequel concepts.
• No Export for You:
  • The GBA remake of the original was released as part of the classics series in Japan, but not anywhere else.
  • On a reverse note, the sequel (Of Myths and Monsters) was never released in Japan until about 20 years after its release.
• What Could Have Been: A reboot was in development at Factor 5, which was supposed to use a modified version of Lair's engine optimized for Wii. However, it was apparently being done without Nintendo's consent as a proof-of-concept (even Yoshio Sakamoto was unaware of it), and the concepts leaked onto the internet were not well received. Eventually, it was cancelled after Lair's failure and Factor 5's bankruptcy.
