From the horse's mouth

Experience with ICARIAN: KINDRED SPIRITS™ the awesome story of Nyx, an enigmatic winged girl, that must descend from heaven in search of her missing friend Icarus.

 

Overfly the ruins of ancient Greece and avoid falling into blazing sands or perishing in the claws of cruel harpies and hydras.

You will need the help of Zeus and other benevolent Gods from Olympus to summon their powers. They will let you cast rays, modify the scenery and control winds at your wish...

With your own wrist movements and pointing to the game screen, you will be able to achieve these and many other feats in this new and enjoyable Wii™ platform game.

 

Fly, aim and shoot using the new and fullest potential of your Wii Remote™.

 

FEATURES

 

- New gameplay mechanics taking full advantage of the Wii Remote™. Use your hand movements to raise Nyx, flap her wings and fly over awesome ancient Greece scenery. ¡But that is not all! You will be able to invoke the powers of the gods and move platforms, cast rays and control winds while pointing your Wii Remote to the screen . An interaction as never seen before!

 

- A game for one or two players. Play with a friend and maximize your abilities, while one controls Nyx, the other will control the powers from the Gods.

 

- Charming graphics that take full advange of Wii™ technology.

 

- A fascinating story. ¿Will you be able to help Nyx discover what happened to her friend Icarus?

 

What we know

- Price will be 1.000 or 1.500, Nintendo decides.

- First, it was a wax environment, referring to Icarian’s wings. Then they got to the Chirico style, great for story and WW limitations.

- Fragility is the main idea to tell. It’s in Nyx, and she needs player’s help.

- 20K downloads will be a fine number to cover game’s development costs.

- Focus on finishing Icarian. They’re open to sequels or bigger Icarian games with old ideas.

- First video in below link is Steven Gutheinz’s music: 3 samples

- Second video in link is In-game footage, you may already have this.

- “Family” aids: aside from the 4 guys at Over the Top games, people around them tried the game. Nyx voice is from one of the member’s girlfriend. Animations refined by another friend. Free physics system.

- One day gameplay: as the night nears, the end approaches.

- They hope Nintendo helps them to get to the Japanese market, same as with World of Goo. They already have the game localized into 6 languages for Eur/US markets.

for a moment i thought this was the kid icarus sequel :P

 

 

haha yea,it might not be a kid icarus game but i'm sure the devs behind this game have kid icarus in mind and are trying to cash in on the desperate kid icarus fans who are crying out for a sequel.

 

the game looks goods,it seems it plays similar to lost winds which is a plus in my book.
