When fans debate which of their plentiful wells Nintendo will be returning to for their next big title, Kid Icarus is always a popular suspicion. Now, IGN’s Matt Casamassina has basically confirmed that it’s on the way to Wii. On episode 7 of the IGN Nintendo Voice Chat podcast Casamassina says, “Of course [Nintendo is] going to have some E3 surprises. You know, Kid Icarus, for crying out loud, how many times do we have to say Kid Icarus? Kid Icarus is coming for crying out loud.” When a co-host asks if he wants to reveal the developer he responds “I think we’ve confirmed it a billion times but no, I’m not going to say it officially.”
Adding more fuel to the fire on this week’s show Casamassina said “Kid Icarus, that’s another one that I’m really anticipating just because I love the franchise and I’m sure that the developer will make a really pretty game.” It looks like we’ll have to wait for July to hear anything official from Nintendo but, if Casamassina is to be believed (we’ve asked him for further clarification), a Wii version of Kid Icarus seems to be all but a done deal.

Head on past the break for the other videos. After that, read IGN’s hands-on writeup of the game.

click to enlargeEA returns once more to the golden money spigot that is The Lord of the Rings franchise with The Lord of the Rings: Conquest. Currently under development at Pandemic, IGN states that Conquest is essentially the studio’s Star Wars: Battlefront set in the LOTR universe. Players will take control of the series’ many creatures and characters (no word on whether or not the game will feature heroes å la Battlefront) and wage war on some of the films’ most famous battlefields. The game will also include battles not featured in the films (dare we hope for the Battle of Bywater?). Conquest will feature up to 16 players online, 4 player co-op (online and local), where players will fight battles that feature up to 150 characters on screen at one time. The game will include both a good and evil campaign, including a scenario in which Sauron — the leader of the evil forces — reclaims the One Ring. Expect Conquest to arrive in fall 2008.

It’s a beautiful day, so why not relax inside your house on a big comfy chair and check out some videos of our buddy Clank in seven videos, courtesy of IGN? The robotic tuxedo-clad warrior has started to cause blips on our radar as the game nears release, not just because of the franchise he is born from but because the more we see of the game, the more interesting and true to the source material’s humor it appears. In any case, enjoy the rest of the videos after the jump!
