Thanx for contributing, the more rumors to monitor the better.

Now onto this Capcom classic... I hope they don't mean MegaMan as that has already jumped to 3D before and it was already 3rd person(MegaMan Legends, did anybody else suffer through that one?), it didn't turn out too well.
But if they are gonna try it out Metroid Prime style this time, then I welcome the challenge of a new FPA game starring the old and almost forgotten Mega Man.

I'd guess Captain Commando...

Maybe Strider.

Ooohhh, either of those would be interesting, especially Strider.
Capcom's Gamers Day is coming up on Thursday, just after Nintendo's Retailer Meeting which is tomorrow. So maybe we'll find something out about this rumor this week.

As long as they keep the Strider Dieing sequence.

Though I see Strider as a perfect fit for the 360 Demographic.

I'd be in hog heaven if that turns out to be true. The second in the series was easily one of my favorite games on the Cube last generation, and I would be the first in line for a fourth in the series.

Timesplitters is pretty cool can we get a early 2008 release maybe?  Timespliters doesn't do well amongst the giants without a little marketing.

*shrug* I'll give Timesplitters a chance. I really wasn't on my radar at all on the GC.

3D Bionic Commando would be sweet!

Megaman Legends was awesome...at least in my book ;P

Timesplitters Future Perfect was an awesome FPS.  I hope they make TS4 on wii

That would be awesome.  Grappling hook action is unique and a lot of fun.  It's what the game project I'm working on at DigiPen this year is based around.  I don't know why so few games make extensive use of the mechanic.

I thought Mega Man Legends was kinda cool, though the controls could really use some work.

SEGA fans rejoice, as it seems they are intent on returning to the days when Sega mattered.
It appears that another franchise from years back might be getting revived, a game that seems a perfect fit for the motion sensing controller provided by the Wii, a game that many fans have been waiting for a proper sequel to for many years.

Think NiGHTS was the only retro-game by SEGA coming back to life? Think again. Come Friday and find out what could be one of the biggest no-brainers in retuning franchises to Wii.

Let’s just say that DK: Bongo Blast probably won’t be the only Wii game you’ll be shaking beats to this year.

I'm pretty sure this would be a new 'Samba De Amigo', and I could be wrong, but maybe a Space Channel 5 isn't too far behind.

Bionic Commando 3d would be sweet, wouldn't it?

I'm flattered!

But seriously, is this about the thread I made where I said that Samba de Amigo should be on the Wii and would work well?

If so, I wouldn't give myself FULL credit since I do remember someone saying that the minute Nintendo unveiled the Nun chuck and the Wiimote in 2005 they thought of Samba de Amigo. Plus, I read that Miyamoto is a HUUUUUUGE SDA fan, so I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo is actually trying to bring the series over to the Wii.

And finally like the quote says, this is a no brainer. The engine might need to change, yeah, but overall the game's concept begs to be on the Wii.

Just a quick mention on Medacast should do well, if the news is true I mean .
