Latest Wii, Nintendo DS, Game Boy, and GameCube news, screenshots, and game previews

A couple very interesting rumors coming from a popular Wii blog.

The first is that troubled developer Factor 5 is now active again and continuing work on its current projects; we should “expect an official announcement within two weeks”.

Could this mean that Kid Icarus for the Wii — previously rumored to be on hold — is back in development?

The second rumor concerns developer Silicon Knights. Silicon Knights was responsible for Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem (GameCube) and Too Human (Xbox 360). Allegedly, there is “reason to believe” they may be working on a Wii title.

Do you think we’ll ever see a sequel to Eternal Darkness on the Wii? Again, these are merely rumors so let’s keep our fingers crossed!

According to Destructoid, Nintendo was planning to release the Wii version of “Kid Icarus” in 2008 and was disappointed to miss their intended launch window. Apparently, the plan was to announce the game at E3 2008 and launch later in the year, but things changed once Factor 5 (the company rumored to be developing the title) faced financial difficulties and was allegedly forced to halt development.
