PSA: Icarian: Kindred Spirits is now NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits

by JC Fletcher { Jun 24th 2009 at 12:40PM }

Icarian: Kindred Spirits, the side-scrolling WiiWare platformer released in Europe last week (and due in North America any old time), will now be known as NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits. The company has launched a new website for the game, which will be identical in every way except the title.

The title change will obviously be applied to the upcoming American release, but it will also take effect on the Wii Shop listing for the European release soon. A statement on the developer's Twitter account confirms that the change is not related to Nintendo or Kid Icarus. It's a shame to see a tiny developer like Over the Top beset with difficulties like this, when even Nintendo was promoting its game.

But, oh well.

@crimson king Why would that disappoint you, it's still the same game.

I know and I still plan on buying it, but I, personally, just believed Icarian was better than NyxQuest.

Why not just name it "Kindred Spirits"?

The name Icarus comes from Greek mythology so it is ridiculous that Nintendo or anyone else would claim it as their own. It looks like Nintendo strong-armed Over-The-Top-Games to change the name but if the developer wanted to they could have declined to do so. The Greek myths are part of Greek heritage and no company should claim any of them as their property.
