From IGN's mailbag,

Matt hints at a new game being unvieled in march. Hmm, i wonder what it might be? Pikmin 2 perhaps? Or something totally new...

Perfect Cell · « **Reply #1 on:** February 05, 2003, 07:15:01 PM »

I think its a new franchise out right.. Possibly a third party

BlkPaladin · « **Reply #2 on:** February 05, 2003, 08:53:15 PM »

Its way to obscure to get any information from that answer. It will more than likely be a new game. But not nessarily a new franchise. And yes its more than likely third party since Nintendo doesn't like the spill any information before the event.

Perfect Cell · « **Reply #3 on:** February 05, 2003, 09:10:36 PM »

A Kid Icarus remake from Konami

Nintendo aquring the Castlevania franchise console exclusive on the Cube? A new FPS from some new company? Theres a ton of things id love to see....

I hope Nintendo announce Timesplitters 3 exclusive to Nintendo Gamecube! Or Sonic Adventure 3.

BlkPaladin · « **Reply #5 on:** February 05, 2003, 10:28:21 PM »

I wouldn't get my hopes up for any third party exclusive content until announcements are made.

Better be a new franchise!!!

Stimutacs Addict · « **Reply #7 on:** February 07, 2003, 02:35:42 AM »

the timesplitters series will never be exclusive to GameCube. Free Radical would be missing out on so much money that could be made from the Ps2 and Xbox crowd.. if anything Sony or MSoft will snatch em'

March isn't that far away so thats good.
Whatever it is i hope it'll real good and exclusive!

Peter171 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 07, 2003, 11:07:55 AM »

Yeah I would love to see something new, maybe on of the new Nintendo partnerships maybe? Well I suppose there will be rumblings well up to March so we are going to have to wait and see.

I know that Retro's currently working on Metroid Prime 2, but wouldn't it be great if they announced that they were going to finish the Ravenblade project? That game looked great.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #11 on:** February 07, 2003, 11:22:52 AM »

It's probably Factor 5's next game.

Matt's hinted at it more than once.

Arguenton · « **Reply #12 on:** February 07, 2003, 11:27:21 AM »

What about Mario tennis or Mario kart? Has Nintendo ever made official news about those games?

Game_Freak · « **Reply #13 on:** February 07, 2003, 01:00:30 PM »

It could be Starfox Armada...

Oni_Link · « **Reply #14 on:** February 07, 2003, 01:27:13 PM »

Does it really matter??? The Wind Waker comes out in March. We are going to be engulfed with its wonderful gameplay to even notice!

And yes, yes, I know about a couple other games. I'd have to check my facts again, but I'm fairly certain one of them will be announced in March.

Prepare to be banned buddy.

Probably just officially confirming something new already knew. I don't expect anything major. I would like to be proven wrong.

Gamefreak · « **Reply #17 on:** February 07, 2003, 02:22:50 PM »

Both Factor 5 and Silicon Knights have unannounced games in development. These new games might not even be exclusive. No one said they were related to Nintendo. But I'd like to see F5 and SK's new games soon. Also whatever HAL Labs is working on, but they don't seem to have many projects at once...

As far as Retro is concerned, I want Thunder Rally before they bring back Raven Blade. (if...) Sorry but I love car combat games that was the coolest looking ever. And Retro was making it..

OniLink · « **Reply #18 on:** February 07, 2003, 02:25:34 PM »

I hope it's the oft-rumored, Monolith Soft-developed Namco RPG, Baten Kaitos...or anything alone those lines. I'm dying for a new japanese turn-based RPG.

YoungLink · « **Reply #19 on:** February 07, 2003, 03:00:11 PM »

its probably just tube slider

phil1984 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 07, 2003, 03:05:15 PM »

Could it possibly be Super Smash Brothers Melee 2? However my money is on something like Mario Tennis/Golf

NickNiteQ93 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 07, 2003, 04:55:23 PM »

I've got a question. It doesn't really pertain to this topic, but kind of. I've always wondered about the status of Factor 5. I mean, most of the games they make they release for Nintendo systems then maybe on PC, but rarely, if even, on other consoles. Why don't they just go 2nd party?

LOUiE · « **Reply #22 on:** February 07, 2003, 05:49:19 PM »

Except for the fact that Tube Slider is already announced. So that won't be it.

Gamer Donkey · « **Reply #23 on:** February 07, 2003, 07:01:31 PM »

I just looked through all the GC release dates(thats how i found this site)and didn't see anything special. But then again, Nintendo seems to be pretty goog at keeping things under wraps. Most European game sites didn't know about Godzilla

AMM until release day.

Shift Key · « **Reply #24 on:** February 07, 2003, 08:06:19 PM »

Since the whole Megaton announcement, I refuse to listen to these rumours, especially from IGN.

Factor 5 are third party. They are a part of Lucasarts, but have a very good working relationship with Nintendo. They have made codecs for the Cube for video compression, and also made Rogue Squadron: Rogue Leader, a very good game too. They have a project in development, but no details have been released as yet.

Silicon Knights are a Nintendo second party. They were bought out somewhere around 2000, when Eternal Darkness showed great promise. I haven't heard any news of a new project, which most people are hoping is Too Human, a game that was shelved so Eternal Darkness could be the focus of the company.

Free Radical Design is a third party, owned by Eidos. There is little chance they will be bought out by someone, unless Sony or Microsoft are looking to shell out for one game every two to three years.

Star Fox: Armada as the mystery game? I reckon Nintendo will start to hype up F-Zero AC/GC before that happens.

My money is on news about the Mario Kart/Tennis/Golf franchises. Some screens or video to make us happy. These games are a given, its just a matter of when.
