Check it out. At IGN, they have a list of Nintendo published games for Gamecube coming out in 2003 and one of them is called "NST secret project". They say that it has been in development for some time now and that it is likely to be shown at E3 2003. 3 other games that are listed for 2003 are "Silicon knight's secret project", "Too human" and "HAL labs secret project". IGN also hints at big exclusive projects by Capcom, Namco and a technological powerhouse from Factor 5. Very interesting indeed...

It sure seems like they've got something in the works, though... I mean, no Kid Icarus in Animal Crossing, no Kid Icarus for the e-Reader, and his trophy description on Smash Bros was very...
Wait a minute.
HAL Labs Secret Project.
"Will Pit ever fight again?"
Wouldn't it make sense if HAL's secret project was a new Kid Icarus? It seems pretty odd that they'd put that description in for the Pit trophy unless there were plans for a new Icarus title... it makes even MORE sense if *they* were the company doing it.
Could I have stumbled onto something here?
Please. Oh, please.

Chance it will happen is next to zero though. Too bad.
BS.

No it wouldn't, because HAL's secret project is Donkey Kong Island.

Well there you go. It's not a secret anymore.

Either secret means unknown(thats how I learned it) or
it has established as a alternative term for Donkey Kong.
Whatever, Nintendo have got tons of secrets in the works(plus 3rd parties).
Remember around GCN release time Myiamoto once said that hes overseeing around 30 projects.
How many of those have we seen or played?

That's funny, because as far as I've heard, EAD was doing the new Donkey Kong game, as it was going to be the first Miyamoto DK game since... Donkey Kong 3 for the arcade and NES, I suppose.
That could be totally wrong... but I've heard nothing of HAL doing Donkey Kong, let alone the title "Donkey Kong Island."

It was featured at 2001's E3 for Nintendo 64, but never made it due to the death of the machine. Hell, Silicon Knights moved Eternal Darkness to GameCube, same as Capcom with RE0 and Rare with Dinosaur Planet.
They might have done the same.
Anyway, Mini-Racers was shaping up to be a kind of "Off-Road/RC Pro-AM" type racer..

HAL could be doing that, or it could be something quite different. I don't think their next game is a Smash Bros., although I can't wait for a new one.
Here's a weird one, somewhere along the line, on an official release list, Kirby's Air Ride showed up again. Yes, the game that's been in developmental hell since the EARLY N64 days showed up on one of the more recent "title lists" from Nintendo for Gamecube, it's possibly the one where Nintendo of Europe leaked the 2003 titles. Maybe IGN still considers that secret, if it's right...

Wasn't Mini-Racers finished. Nintendo didn't release it because the n64 was good as died. I could see Nintendo releasing that game on GameCube.

I dont think so because, for 1 it wasnt even a nes-rom in animal crossing, and it had a tinyest role in ssbm, 1 trophey
I think his days are over (the good old captain N days)
I would proberly guess that they got the rights for Mother (earthbound) from Ape inc. and are making a new Cube version.... which would be cool if it came with the earthbound 64 beta on a bonus disk
I think the new mario will also just use the Wario engine, since now wario is a puzzle badguy

Actually, his trophy was the only one that hinted that he might have a future game.
And the fact that his game wasn't in Animal Crossing does the exact opposite from what you're saying: If they were going to make a Kid Icarus game, they'd *save* the NES version to include it within, like they did with Metroid and Metroid Prime. Which is still why I think we've yet to see the Kid Icarus NES game in any form.
I mean, think about it: Do you really think there's more of a likelihood of a new Donkey Kong Jr Math or a Clu Clu Land than Kid Icarus because they were in Animal Crossing?

Im sure they know about the interest in Kid Icarus and Earthbound hence are already working on them.
