Icarian: Kindred Spirits Announced for Wiiware on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Developer Over The Top Games have revealed their first WiiWare title; one that bears a passing resemblance to one of Nintendo's rumoured-to-be-resurrected franchises.

Icarian: Kindred Spirits will be set within Greek Mythology, and involves the player controlling a Winged Girl named Nyx as she searches for her friend Icarus. The game looks set to be similar to LostWinds in many ways, including control over the powers of nature, and a co-operative play option.

From the game's official site at http://www.icariangame.com/icarian/en/

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.

Sounds pretty good to me!

My eyes lighted up at the mention of CoOp, as you can imagine.

More of this and less Angst Icarus.

I'm not happy about this, I would rather wait for a kid Icarus game. This might bring down his franchise by bad association.

Looks really nice, especially for a wiiware game.

Seems interesting, I wonder how much game they'll fit in with the 43MB limit?

must say i love the graphics ! reminds me of wind waker!

The shading is very rough. It looks like an early graphics-prototype: great geometry, textures not finnished, shading and fog missing.
But even when it stays like this, it looks good. I think it surpasses a lot of Wii games of the younger past even now. I am curious about the game!

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

Hmm I hope those screenshots are of an early build of the game...
