We still haven't received a new Ice Climber game since the Climbers were in Melee, after all.
True enough. Would you say you'd really be interested in seeing one, though, Golden?
The way I see it, the ICs probably aren't popular enough to warrant a series revival,
or the concepts just aren't any good that are being/have been pitched. While I can see the immediate appeal worldwide of Takamaru in an action game, I struggle to see the general appeal of the Ice Climbers.
Whereas Pit was a popular character in Brawl and one of the more recognized (I and everybody else was like "I'm gonna main Pit!" the day we saw the Brawl tailer because he looked awesome.) for the game itself. The Ice Climbers always seemed kind of tacked on, and honestly I always forget about them.
I suppose I just see more general appeal for Pit/Takamaru than I do for ICs. There might be some bias, but I'm interested to hear your/everyone's thoughts on this for sure.
