      If Kid Icarus uprising does get a switch port, Then lets hope that it doesn't get a $59.99 price tag like literally every other switch port except for the Metroid prime remaster.

    Kid Icarus is Metroid's little brother and Metroid is Kid Icarus' big sister.
    I think it''s sweet and if ever there'll be a Smash Bros. movie in the future, it'd be wholesome to see Pit and Samus having a bro/sis moment together ♥️

    KIU is my favorite videogame ever in all honesty, and the one I've poured the most hours out of all games. I still remember back when the online was incredibly active and I'd stay up all night playing in different groups made especifically for Uprising online play.

    Kid Icarus unfortunately doesn't have a dedicated development studio for the series similar to Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, etc. If they are able to get a studio to stick with the series and not just be there once like with Project Sora for Uprising, then it could maybe get more games without huge droughts, but we'll see

    I love the series as well, But Sakurai explained in an interview years ago, That he put everything he had in kid Icarus uprising and MAYBE in another 25 years will another kid Icarus game come out. At the time, i was devastated. Now i can remember the source so just look up "kid Icarus uprising interview" or "Will there be another kid Icarus gane?".

    Considering there's a remake of a 3rd person action game in the works with Bandai Namco and Nintendo, this could be a sign that Kid Icarus is being ported. Considering Sakurai has worked with Bandai Namco and Nintendo for Smash Ultimate, this could be a sign that a new game is close
