Tournament of Legends possible on other platforms?
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Tournament of Legends, which is currently a Wii-exclusive gladiatorial/fantasy brawling gaming, could head to other platforms, according to lead designer of the game Pat Dolan. When asked about it being Wii exclusive, he replied “It is right now!” followed apparently by some sort of maniacal laughter. I think… Additionally, he said that the company behind the game (High Voltage Software) is looking into Kinect and Move as possible alternatives to the Wii control schemes.
Masahiro Sakurai interview (Kid Icarus interest started with Brawl, thought about making a game for Star Fox, more)

Sakurai on how long he’s been waiting to bring Pit back…
“So, the revival of Kid Icarus actually began in Smash Brothers. We brought him back for Smash Brothers and I personally did all that design work. We made a decision to upgrade and re-envision what the character was like with some more current trappings. From that time I certainly had an interest in the franchise. Now this time around, the project actually began with an original game idea, and the match seem to be a good one for the mythology and the character Kid Icarus. So it just so happened that the game idea and the franchise matched in the project then start it from there.”
Sakurai on what idea led to the creation of a standalone game…
“So the original idea was a game in which you had air combat and ground combat and then end up with a boss battle. It was that kind of flow, sort of a hybrid of a shooting game and a third-person game with those two things. Now the idea is that Pit as an angel who can’t fly and provides this scenario where [the goddess] Palutena grants him the ability to fly for just five minutes. That seem like a good match with this gameplay idea, and in trying it out in initial testing phases, it seemed to work pretty well. I definitely knew that there was this very strong demand for revival of the franchise overseas and I thought that this was an idea that was crystallized and would satisfy that demand.”
