Sorry I don't believe your unsubstantiated rumors as facts, but I need more proof than that...
So...
Sorry, but no rumor section is ever always right...
This one really seems like a paranoid person, taking a lot of "facts" together and calling it a conspiracy where in fact nothing exists... there's just absolutely no proof. Not just that, I'd say that there's better proof that it's fake... this game has been in development for over three years and no one even knows that it exists, really? Umm... no, I doubt that very much...
As for the first part, see, people saying 'we'd love to see this game' means nothing. So a few developers/media people/execs said that in some circumstances (varying from person to person) they would like to make a new Kid Icarus game. So? It doesn't mean that they are actually WORKING on one! It just means that in some situation they might like to make one! Nothing more! Developers don't choose which games get developed usually, marketing people do... I know this is Nintendo, but marketing... I mean, Kid Icarus? It's only a name with the hardcore Nintendo fans that can't support a game (saleswise) all on their own...
As for cancellation, that's often just a game. Some games spend years on the "TBA" list before the publishers give up on the projects or finally reassign their status to 'cancelled', or just put them on the back burner for a few years before starting the project over later (Too Human for instance)... but more often a reassignment to "TBA" means "Cancelled". Most often, actually.
As I said, possible, but with no information I will withhold saying anything about it, it's pointless.
So...
Quote:As with NiGHTs, the entire rumor started because famitsu posted the info in their mag. if you follow famitsu at all, you would know that they have a section where they post rumblings with no details because they aren't allowed to or they were asked not to give up too much info on it, but their 'rumor section' has been correct every single time. they were the ones who broke the news of DS Lite (where nintendo gave a no-denial statement afterwards and released it 3 weeks later), they're extremely reliable. None of the stuff i'm posting is willy-nilly speculation, it's all from trusted sources unless noted.

Quote:Dead Pheonix: Capcom says its still in development as a project, Miyamoto says that Icarus IS IN DEVELOPMENT, the producer of resident Evil said that he would love to do a Kid icarus game, IGN throws out a hint that Kid icarus is in development and being made by capcom who, mysteriously pulled a planned game from their release lists for no reason and would not officially cancel it or give reason why, that game has a character with wings flying around roman-esque structures and described as a flying/platforming game which is exactly what Icarus was on NES. project Pheonix has NEVER BEEN CANCELLED, capcom still lists it as TBA. It doesn't take any imagination to realize that miyamoto and Nintendo wanted to put together an Icarus game and what better way to do it than use Capcom's Dead Pheonix. finally Capcom's lists of games to be shown at E3 have been released with the tagline 'one or two titles to be revealed while at E3'

Quote:The Nintendorks rumor of the analog controller adapter also having motion sensing is getting alot of momentum and has sparked some odd quotes, one of them from Matt at IGN who said 'sometimes when we played with the revolution controller, sometimes that little black bar was there and sometimes it wasn't, make of that what you will but it will be interesting to see how they use it". the little black bar is the developer's version of the signal pickup for the revcon or atleast that's whhat Nintendo said, it could turn out to be something very different. The 'final secret' of the rev's controller could very well be a dual motion sensing controller.
