Ok. About 1000 people work at EAD. That's a loooot. Consider this, burnout was designed by like 5 people. True, Ocarina of Time was developed by over a whopping 200 people, but that was one of the most high profile games ever.

So let's see what they are working on...
Animal Crossing 2
Mario 128
Mario Kart - should be finished or almost finished
Pikmin 2

I may have left out some stuff...but I count 4 games for 1000 people...what else could they be working on? Totally new franchises? Remakes (eck)? Do you think we'll see some surprises at E3, or only those listed?

Shiggy-sama has said that he is giving us something entirely new at E3, and from the way he was talking, I assumed it would be more than 1 project.

what do you mean it better be? they already give you the best console* and some the best games** as well, what more do you want? aren't you being a little greedy?

*this is mearly an opinion of the poster, not a fact
**this however, is true

psst, Nintendo doesn't care about me or any of you so we can be as greedy as we want. Gimme gimme gimme! Why shouldn't I be greedy. Nintendo hoards all of their profits for backup which they won't need anytime soon, as they haven't recorded losses in a fiscal year for like 70 years or some crazy amount like that...

They made Wave Race: Blue Storm.... Oh wait...

Yep only Racing Games

Actually, that is an old rumor than Planet Gamecube never updated....Nintendo never announced who was actually developing it, the NST thing was a rumor. But from Miyamoto's interviews it's safe to say that EAD is developing it....

I wouldn't say only racing games. NST also made the Pokemon Puzzle League game for the N64

EAD's got a few tricks up their sleeves, especially with them farming out a lot of their big franchises to other developers.

ThePerm · « **Reply #13 on:** May 02, 2003, 03:28:27 PM »

but in that game you race against time....its a racing game...a puzzle racer!
