First Concept Art for Kid Icarus Wii

The Kid gets his Wiings
Earlier this year, we broke the news that Factor 5 is internally working to revive the beloved Kid Icarus franchise. Although we do not have much new information in regards to the project, we have come in contact with nearly 30 pieces of concept art for the game, showing various different versions of Pit's new design, plus concept work for some of his weapons.
Last time we wrote about the project, Factor 5 was in the process of pitching it to Nintendo. Since then, we've spoken to at least one source that claims the Big N has expressed interest in publishing such a project. However, at this time, we are uncertain of whether or not Nintendo has committed to doing so itself. In other words, we have been unable to confirm whether or not Nintendo has officially green-lighted the project, but if we had to speculate, we'd say things are looking good for it.
The artwork we've published comes from a pitch document we got our hands on during the earlier part of 2008. Since then, sources tell us the game's art-direction has advanced considerably. Despite this artwork not being reflective of the game's current standing, we've decided to run it so fans can get a look at what Factor 5 has at least experimented with.
The last nugget of information we have to share with you is in regards to the game's plot. At the time of the pitch document's writing, Factor 5 had imagined a plot involving a grown-up, adult Kid Icarus in which Pit is "cursed for thousands of years for a crime and becomes a 'fallen angel'." The pitch document adds that "a tattoo on Pit's arm bears the inscription of Pit's crime."
When asked for comment on the existence of a Factor 5-developed installment in the Kid Icarus franchise, Nintendo gave us the expected "no comment on rumors" line.
Unfortunately, that's all we have for you for now. Be sure to check out the media gallery below for a look at the concept art for the project.

This is adult Icarus, not "Kid Icarus".

Also, needs more eggplants.
So Pit is now a tattooed ex-con. Wonderful.
Edit - Okay, some of this concept art is just ridiculous. I mean seriously what is this?

(I hope theres a DS version at some point)
I'd be way happy if it was only a DS 2D platformer, with enhanced visuals and maybe some new gameplay (not touch- unless it was a minigame to not be eggplanted anymore.)
Seriously. Fake.
Nintendo property? When was the last time Nintendo leaked shit like this. From some alleged 'pitch document' too.

"Fallen Angels" have to be one of the most obnoxious fucking cliches.

And if the game is indeed in production crap lik this doesn't get leaked.
And if it was rejected again, why have we heard nothing until now.
The art itself is all over the place in style. The explanation of where it comes from is so tangible its practically from the twilight zone.
This smacks of another hits scam. Of course it could be true in which case I care even less because it looks so bad.
Right on the head, man...
And being a fallen angel? What the fuck, he's the captain of Palutena's guard. I don't care how old the franchise is, it's still an optimistic game.
This is going to turn out like Bomberman Zero all over again.

Damn it Dookie, you beat me to it.
Honestly, I'm pretty much siding with the "fake" side here. There's no way this is real.

But, it's not Pit.

Oh God... That was the worst scene in video game history!

Yeah, I'm not.
It's just the first reaction I had to trench coat Pit was 'ew.'
Do it.

But that pic at the bottom of page 1, and at the top of the article shows what the latest was when they handed this over, the last one being where they were at the time.

I wouldn't be too worried just yet. They are just a concept after all.
Give him wings and a bow, dye his hair.
Make him handle like an Arwing. Give him Palutena's Holy Autocrossbow.
OR WAS IT?

He can't even say the name right half the time.
That sounds like a challenge

You know a bunch of people in AC can do a lot better than most of those. Also, why would factor 5 get the rights to a Kid Icarus game? Not necessarily saying fakepost, but I have to say it's a little fishy.
Wait, who the fuck is that chick? That was terrible. Oh and that X one posted was pretty fucking bad...
But c'mon...
