At the Game Developers Conference, something overheard at the show floor was a glimer of hope that Kid Icarus might be making the jump to the Wii. You can still purchase the original game on the Virtual Console for now.

"If we can find some sort of way to bring it to the Wii, a way to make the game for the Wii that makes sense, we would happily do so," he said. "But just keep in mind it may not be me making the game."

Earlier today it was one of the games creator, Yoshio Sakamoto, that spoke with Kotaku. Real excitement could be had here and a boost in sales as well if Nintendo found some way to bring the favored character into the next generation. We'll just have to wait and see.
