Will Pit ever fight again?

[NessPaulaJeffPoo]

I was going through all my trophies in SSBM and I came across my Pit trophy. The last line in the description is, "I wonder if he will ever fight again?"

Do you think this was a foreshadowing of Pit's entrance into brawl, or is it just a coincidence?

 

[prettymanfairy]

Interesting. I think you may have too much time on your hands.

 

[thecatinthehat]

lawls. i saw this too, last week. Sakurai said the dev team was considering putting Pit in Melee. we can all guess what happened instead

 

[Bendu]

I'm pretty sure there was an idea that Pit would be in a Smash game at the time. So, yes.

 

[Johnnyboy99]

Thats strange, yet somehow not surprising O___o

 

[ChaosSqueak]

Meh, this might even spark a new Kid Icarus game for the Wii, or something, since Pit's gonna be in Brawl, there's bound to be SOMETHING else coming out that features him. An exception might be that he might be a Mr. Game and Watch type of character, Old School.

 

[Bassoonist]

Well, I'm glad they waited... The new and improved Pit in Brawl looks a hell of a lot better then the trophy version in Melee.

Doubtful. No new Ice Climbers game to my knowledge.

 

[Crazy Ace 01]

I think you might be on to something there.

Actually I believe there was something said that implied a new Kid Icarus game is possible.

Sonic confirmed.

As I recall, Sakurai wanted to put Pit in as early as the original Smash, but he lost to Jigglypuff in the 64 version and then to Balloon Fighter (who lost to the Ice Climbers) in Melee. Both times, Pit was on the cusp of playability.

Also, in an interview with Miyamoto about MGS: Twin Snakes, he was asked what game he would most like to remake and he said "Kid Icarus"
I noticed the Trophy thing when I first earned it in Melee, and then after I read that interview I thought about what it had said, so I wasn't surprised at all when Pit was announced for Melee.
I didn't realize that most people hadn't caught on to that one.

Yeah but the iceclimbers as characters were never popular (they were only cool game expriences to say the least, Kid Icarus is so much more epic than Ice climbers could ever be and has what it takes to make a sequel).

I however don't care if they made another Kid Icarus game. He really never captured my heart. He just looks cool.

um.... where did you hear that from??

it seems all the characters were ment to be in SSB\Melee now.....

Sonic confirmed.

WIN!

Spoiler

I can count to 10.

 

[Darkurai]

Sonic confirmed.

I don't get it.

Ice Climbers is a completely different type of game that Kid Icarus, you could totally make a new Kid Icarus game.

 

[MzNetta]

This is beyond old.
Its because Pit was intended to be in SSB and SSBM but always got cut from the roster for some reason or another.
Again, very very old.

 

[Ash Hol]

yeah i noticed that when they said pit might be in brawl or whatever

 

[susu_atari]

Yeah, this has been said before, but newbs are joining the forum every day, and these posts do get lost to the sands of time. Something worth reiterating, definately.

Also, a new Kid Icarus game is very likely to be in the pipeline. Nintendo will be pre-empting the popularity Pit will gain after Brawl's release. They are a business, after all. I reckon we can expect to hear news of it at E3 2008.

 

[raymanbud714]

ah.... i hate how everyone disses the ice climbers... they were my sisters fav char and the only way shed ever play with me... (peach was her sec char) ice climbers were a bit to powerfull... i hope they make it back!! regardless of how popular they are!!!

 

[smashplayer16]

No some people wanted sakurai to make brawl so he was convinced to do so. I think this was on the old smash dojo website.

Interesting find.

Maybe it WAS hinting at Pit being in the next Smash considering he was beat out in the previous two.

Maybe they were hinting at a Kid Icarus gamecube game? Or maybe...6 years into the future when they made a next-gen console?
