Kid Icarus får næppe en efterfølger

Kid Icarus: Uprising udkom for ikke længe siden til Nintendos populære håndholdte konsol, 3DS, og skønt fans af serien havde håbet på at komme til at opleve flere spil i serien, har spillets skaber, Masahiro Sakurai, imidlertid udtalt, at han ikke har interesse i at lave en efterfølger.

I et interview med IGN siger han nemlig følgende: “If by ‘lasting universe’ you mean to ask if there's a sequel, the answer is no. Because we pushed a lot into the game in order to let people have this short yet deep experience, but the novelty of that would likely grow thin in the next game. For now, my thought is that perhaps we'll see someone else besides me make another Kid Icarus in another 25 years.” Det oprindelige Kid Icarus udkom til NES for over 20 år siden, og nu lader det altså til, at fans af serien kan se frem til endnu et par års ventetid. Det er en skam.


English version:

Kid Icarus: Uprising was released not too long ago on Nintendo's popular handheld, the 3DS, and though fans of the series had hoped to see more of this Universe, the game's creator, Masahiro Sakurai, has no intentions of making more games in the series.

In an interview with IGN he stated that “If by ‘lasting universe’ you mean to ask if there's a sequel, the answer is no. Because we pushed a lot into the game in order to let people have this short yet deep experience, but the novelty of that would likely grow thin in the next game. For now, my thought is that perhaps we'll see someone else besides me make another Kid Icarus in another 25 years.” The original Kid Icarus was released on the NES more than 20 years ago and now it seems that the fans can look forward to another 20 years of waiting. It's a shame.
