During an interview between Sakurai and IGN, the question pertaining to whether or not a “rich, lasting universe” offered enough bread and butter to the benefit of “future projects.” The creator of prestigious titles, such as Kirby and Smash Bros., didn’t beat around the bush when addressing the question, and in doing so obliterated the dreams of many hoping to see a follow up to Kid Icarus: Uprising.
Masahiro clarified his decision regarding plans to move away from the Kid Icarus franchise, and while fans who fell in love with the portable revamp will be saddened by the news, his logic for doing so is sound.
Now, it should be noted that a Kid Icarus: Uprising sequel isn’t completely off the table, but if it does happen then it probably won’t be coming from Project Sora. The framework for a classic series is there, should Nintendo wish to follow up, but that may not happen for a long time still. So much for that Wii U version we were hoping for.
