I'm all for tap dancing on graves in the name of profit, but only if the person in said grave won't flail around like an epileptic raccoon at a rave.
Ladies and gentlemen, there is a problem; cause if you put your ear to the ground, you can hear the late Gunpei Yokoi, creator of Kid Icarus, flailing around like an epileptic raccoon, as opposed to just rolling over.

The last nugget of information we have to share with you is in regards to the game's plot. At the time of the pitch document's writing, Factor 5 had imagined a plot involving a grown-up, adult Kid Icarus in which Pit is "cursed for thousands of years for a crime and becomes a 'fallen angel'." The pitch document adds that "a tattoo on Pit's arm bears the inscription of Pit's crime."

This is all rumor until proven otherwise. But with all the talk circulating and E3 just around the corner - this, along with every other rumor out there ATM, has legs.
The stuff posted above is just artwork from Factor 5's original pitch, and it's said that the artwork has been "greatly improved" since then. You guys should see the masked one.
Anyhoo, like its creator, the series has been dead for over a decade.
But, if Factor 5 can only deliver enjoyable experiences from behind a franchise flag (Icarus/Star Wars), well, more power to them. Sadly, their experience with Lair will make them think twice before trying something entirely new again.
Now that I got the melancholy out of the way, you can find the full story
