Kombo has posted a gallery of what they say is early concept art for Factor 5's Kid Icarus (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/05/08/ign-pretty-much-confirms-kid-icarus/) game. The styles vary from fantasy cover art to Bruce Timm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Timm)-style minimalism, but they all have one thing in common: Pit is a troubled young man. This fits with the proposed game pitch, in which Pit is "cursed for thousands of years and becomes a fallen angel. (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/05/picardfacepalm050908.jpg)" He bears a tattoo on his arm that details his crime. Awesome.
We hope this is fake, or not what Factor 5 (or whoever the real developer is) goes with. It's not even a matter of nostalgia: we need more weird flying platformers about eggplant wizards and fewer games about brooding antiheroes (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/12/03/). We don't need Man Icarus.
