Nintendo and ex-Nintendo developer Factor 5 might have temporarily broken up, giving the developer just enough time to develop and release its dragon-themed shooter exclusively on Sony's PlayStation 3, but last week, news hit the Internet that the two companies are once again working together. According to reports last week, Factor 5 is developing an exclusive game for Nintendo's latest home console, Wii.
Kombo has learned from a credible source that said Wii game is in fact a new installment in Nintendo's cherished Kid Icarus franchise. According to sources, Factor 5's Kid Icarus title is being developed ground-up for Wii. It will not use one of the developer's previous GameCube graphics engines. Unfortunately, at this time, no other details have been provided to us for publish.
Sources tell Kombo that the ex-Nintendo developer is developing a ground-up Kid Icarus sequel for Wii.

Jonc should rape this Sony fanboy:

Mr. Goodman also says that third parties will be leaving the Wii sooner than later.

"what kind of legs [Wii] will have when it sells out the Nintendo market.”
