Basically it says Shinji Mikami wants to work on a Nintendo franchise like how Sega worked on F-Zero and how Namco is working on Starfox, and Miyamoto confirms Metroid Prime 2 for 2004 on GameCube.

Isn't that a game on the 64DD?
Oh wait, it's called Talent STUDIO.
Hahaha.
You know, there's lots about Mario we don't know.
For all we know, he could be a moustachoid, low voice-sounding, plunger-toting, goomba-jumping, shell-riding, fire flower-shooting, pipe-warping, block-bashing, mushroom-eating, Koopa-bashing, Princess-rescuing, overall-dresser called.........
Luigi!

mikami is the genius behind resident evil and dyack has said that he respects mikami and his work a lot- he also likes resident evil
just think if those 2 were to work together- they could create the ultimate horror game

You might even win an Oscar!
Cube is looking strong next year, Metroid Prime 2, Star fox, SM128, Killer 7, RE4 and many others! OH JOY!

Post by: Bill Aurion on August 04, 2003, 06:11:58 AM
Resident Evil 4
Metroid Prime 2
Tales of Symphonia
FF:CC
Mario Tennis
Star Fox
Paper Mario(still only a rumor...Ninty better clear this up soon)
Super Mario 128(though who knows if it gets pushed back)
I honestly wouldn't worry about GC sales.

The games are COMPLETELY different.
Eternal Darkness is a psychological game, and doesn't rely on the cheap "zombie jumping through window" scare. It is more subliminal, in that it is something that you will take home and think about it later when you aren't playing the game.
Resident Evil might be startling and stressful while playing, because of the high difficulty, and the cheap little scares, but once you are done playing, it's like "damn that was fun!"

Eternal Darkness had one such moment in the game, and it was all the more powerful because it was the only such moment. In Resident Evil, you EXPECT the zombies to come jumping through the windows. In Eternal Darkness, you don't.

Very true, after finishing Resident Evil for GCN I really appreciated the game more, I don't like the controls, but the story is top notch if you ask me.

and they all gave credit to the french site who did the interview with a corresponding link to the french site's interview...
btw the resident evil controls are perfect, making them 360 would suck, check out my last post in the resident evil control topic to see why, (its based on impressions using 360 control in LordoftheRings2T, which uses the same control scheme when changing cameras that RE would have to and already has used before in RE2 for N64)

EXACTLY. There was only one part inED that made me jump (I think we all know which part that was), and jesus, it scared the living $#!t out of me!
Personally, I'd rather see Mikami work on a brand new franchise for Nintendo rather than working on something they already have, though. And considering the way the big guys in the industry like to foreshadow, I wouldn't be surprised if we get an announcement soon about Mikami working on a Nintendo game.

and i don't think they're going to make another zelda, other than the windwaker graphic's engine sequel currently under development.
plus we have tetras trackers and four swords coming to GC, do we really need 4 more zeldas on GC?
i think 3 more is enough
Post by: Michael8983 on August 04, 2003, 03:06:43 PM
I'd actually really like to see that. I LOVED the cel-shaded style of Wind Waker and wouldn't mind (in fact, I'd prefer) if it became the standard style of Nintendo's future Zelda games but, on the other hand, it would be interesting to see a darker more mature spin of the series. It wouldn't have tons of gore or anything. It would just be A LOT more intense, violent, and scary which is why Mikami would be PERFECT for it.
There'd only be two BIG problems. Nintendo's Zelda game would be unfairly labeled the "one for kids" and, worst of all, it would APPEAR as if Nintendo was giving in to all the idiots who refused to like/play Wind Waker just because of the cel-shaded graphics. I can already hear them gloating about how "Nintendo learned from its mistake and is finally getting a clue". Bastards!
So, actually, this probably isn't a good idea and I concur that an original game with franchise potential would be better.
Post by: joeamis on August 04, 2003, 03:47:46 PM
some people would claim "look they beat miyamato at his own franchise!", especially fanboys of sony/microsoft
another problem would be if tetra trackers and four swords sold poorly because
there are two much better looking and more advanced zeldas out, in addition to WW itself.
now if Mikami and Nintendo put their creativity together and created a brand new franchise it could be huge! Everyone wants a new franchise from Nintendo that rivals Zelda, Metroid, and Mario- I believe they could do it.
Then, if this franchise does well, just imagine a sequel to it ready for N5's launch!
or if Mikami and Nintendo can't collabrate right away because they're both already busy making games,
imagine if they made the adult zelda game people want and release it as a launch game on N5,
that would be so huge.

from what I've heard red dead revolver is done, and they're looking for a publisher...mainly rockstar to publish it. it's not on capcom's financial report for this year so it doesn't look like they're going to release it.
and why would Mikami goto work WITH Nintendo and create the same game he has already made and worked on for the last 2 years?
Post by: Odin on August 04, 2003, 05:14:48 PM
A few lines from the interview
EGM: And you're also using bigger Japanese developers, such as Sega, Capcom, and Namco.
S.M. That's also why, with some of the larger developers, we find people we can entrust our franchise characters to. Namco's now making a Star Fox game. Mr.Nagoshi {head of the Sega development studio Amusement Vision} is working on F-Zero. And acutually, Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami at Capcom came to us and said he wanted to work on Nintendo titles. Sonic creator Yuki Naka has done the same. So really, we're focusing on this idea of finding creative and talented designers to put together a strong lineup for the GameCube.
I don't think that there's any "Groundbreaking, Earthshattering Megaton" games in development that we don't know about. Did that make any sense?
Post by: Odin on August 04, 2003, 05:24:03 PM
He also goes onto to say the next Gamecube Zelda "...will not have a realistic Link. At least, not the next one"
Post by: joeamis on August 04, 2003, 05:38:24 PM
that doesn't mean there couldn't be an adult link game after that one on GC.
even if they started right now on adult link game, theres no way it would come out before the WW sequel.
"And acutually, Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami at Capcom came to us and said he wanted to work on Nintendo titles. Sonic creator Yuki Naka has done the same."
F-Zero, from impressions this game will be one of the top 5 so far in the entire GC lineup thus far-Sega
Starfox gameplay already indicates it will be top notch-Namco
now we have those two legendary developers come to Nintendo themselves and want to work with Nintendo to make games. They could be sequels yes, but they could also be new franchises because almost all of Nintendo's franchises already have sequels due to release between now and mid 2004 or are currently in development for an even later release.
New franchise+legendary developer+Nintendo collaboration= Megaton!
Post by: Don'tHate742 on August 04, 2003, 07:38:41 PM
Anyways, if I were to be asked my opinion about the complex side, I would also have to say a new original game. Or what if they re-invented a genre, like a survival RPG thing scary ma-jig.........I just had to say that becuase I am an RPG whore.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned yet about how everyone was saying that "Dead Phoenix" looks a lot like "Kid Icarus".

Yeah I know, but what I'm saying is that once Halo 2 and GT4 come out, the hardcore Xbox and PS2 fannies (haha - i made a funny), will just hide under their collective rocks of stubborness and claim these to be the best games ever, and shun Metroid Prime 2, RE4, Killer 7 etc, despite these games' creativeness and gameplay.
Not that I'm knocking Halo 2 and GT4, as I'm sure they'll be great.

Yes, it is sad, but oh well as long as Nintendo keeps bringing me games, I really don't care. Halo 2 looks awesome though......*silence*

maybe so but how many people actually played Wild Gunman in the arcades back in the mid 1980's
and care for a sequel to it released on a console, on GC, 15+ years later?
Take Defender for instance, it was awesome in the arcade, and far more popular than Wild Gunman was in the arcades.
Defender was released on almost every console since it debuted, and Wild Gunman was released on 1 console since it debuted.
A remake of Defender was made last year, and it got good reviews, and how many people bought it?
Enough to have it go in the bargain bin, roughly 1 month after it came out.....
