E309: THE FIRST LOOK AT OVER THE TOP’S WIIWARE DEBUT ICARIAN

Icarian: Kindred Spirits — the WiiWare debut from Madrid based studio Over The Top — certainly borrows more than a little (however coincidentally) from original WiiWare game LostWinds, but, given the trailer above, extends the idea of solely creating drafts with the WiiMote to more direct control of its broken Greek landscape.

Over The Top say the game concerns the search for the fallen Icarus by main character Nyx, who, like LostWinds‘ Toku, needs to be protected and guided on her journey, as you slowly gain the “powers that gods such as Zeus or Eolus will grant.”

At very least, it should tide over the throngs still holding out desperate hope for Nintendo to revive its Kid Icarus franchise. Find a few sharper screenshots below the jump.
