Kid Icarus: Uprising will NOT have a sequel

Nope, you’re not having a nightmare! Kid Icarus: Uprising creator Masahiro Sakurai has revealed that he does not have plans to create a sequel to the game. Mr. Sakurai says he managed to fit everything he pretty much wanted into Kid Icarus: Uprising and he believes that the novelty of the franchise would soon wear off. He did say that someone else besides him may make another Kid Icarus game, but it’s not going to happen anytime soon. Here’s the full quote:

“If by ‘lasting universe’ you mean to ask if there’s a sequel, the answer is no.” Sakurai went on to explain that the reason is “because we pushed a lot into the game in order to let people have this short yet deep experience, but the novelty of that would likely grow thin in the next game. For now, my thought is that perhaps we’ll see someone else besides me make another Kid Icarus in another 25 years.”

Do you think the novelty of the franchise would wear off if Kid Icarus: Uprising got a sequel? Let us know in the comments.

Polish website MWRC is reporting that a new Resident Evil title for the Nintendo 3DS will be released later this year. The new game will be presumably titled “Resident Evil: Downfall” and will take place between the events of Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6. The player would control Claire Redfield who would witness the “downfall” of humanity. The game was originally announced by reputable UK publication Digital Spy but the article has already been deleted.

Please remember that at the moment, this is JUST A RUMOR. Therefore, we need to wait for official confirmation from Capcom.
