Did I say Rare was developing the FPS? Sorry guys, my mistake. As you know, Rare is Microsoft’s property. I meant Retro. Once again, sorry about the typo. Another thing: this isn’t another Metroid sequel I’m talking about. More later.

“Deepthroat, I don’t think it’s good for you to be lieing to people.
The secret lies directly with the visuals, but it is NOT full 3D. Jesus, E3 is not far off. Just wait till then. You will all be happy. Oh, and also expect a Devil May Cry game at E3 for Revolution.”
I did not post that, nor did I link to Retro Studios. Someone is either playing a game or trying to discredit me. Like I said, Capcom has development kits for the Nintendo Revolution. I have not heard any information on what they’re doing. According to EGM, they are working on Resident Evil 5. I have a feeling that it will be for the Gamecube and/or the PS2, but I may be wrong.
Once again, I apologize for the Rare typo. I meant Retro. I know they are working on a Revolution game, which will be a FPS. I’ve seen it, and I can verify that it will not be the third Metroid Prime. It will be an original IP. I do not work for Retro. When I was with NOA, I visited their studio many times. Outside of the FPS, they are working on a DS game. As N-Sider pointed out months ago, Retro were once working on a car combat game to challenge Twisted Metal Black. This game was scrapped for the Gamecube, and they were given Metroid. They have expanded greatly since the success of the first Metroid Prime, and at E3 they will reveal some of their work.

In my opinion, the split was do to arrogance on the part of Nintendo. As Matt from IGN has stated many times, both companies view games very differently. Silicon Knights games were not selling well on the Gamecube, and Nintendo was not treating them with respect. I really think this was a terrible mistake. You will know more about the break up before E3 hopefully. They have some stunning software ready for E3. They aren’t playing around anymore.

Silicon Knights is not developing for the Nintendo Revolution right now. They will show off some Xbox 360 games at E3; I can confirm that. Matt saw the game, and he knows what they are up to. Once he is able to talk about it, he will reveal his information to you.
Like I said, I know as much about Resident Evil 5 as you do. I would guess it is going to be a current generation game. If Capcom could have it ready for the holidays (to combat the Xbox 360), it would come out then. But that’s just my own speculation (and hope; RE4 is amazing).
I can confirm that Nintendo is currently working on many Revolution titles. Most are just in the planning stages, but I have seen video of seven. I’m sure at least three or four of these games will be at E3 in video form. Perhaps more; we will see at E3. Outside of our game, there are six 3rd party games that I have heard of. As I mentioned earlier, Square Enix (happy now?) is developing a new game for the Revolution. EA, Sega, Zoonami, Namco, and Activision are currently working on games.
3rd party information:
EA is playing around with the Revolution’s capibilities, implementing them into another Madden game. This isn’t really news though. From what I’ve heard, they are really going out of their way to make this more than just a port. Voice controls are being used to the max in this title. Calling out audibles will be used this way. The wireless capibilities of the system are also going to be used. Like I said, there will be no reason to buy Madden for the Xbox 360 when the Revolution version comes out.
Sega is developing three games for the Revolution that should be at E3. I’m not going to reveal too much on what they are up to for obvious reasons. The three games I listed does not include the game we are developing for them. You will be very suprised at what they are doing. I’m sure you have heard of the Xbox 360 title Condemned that they are working on. This game is something that many wouldn’t expect Sega to make; you won’t expect what you will see at E3. The other game they have is a typical, quirky Sega game. It’s very interesting in the sense that it uses all the system’s capibilities.
Zoonami has already given out some hints on what they are working on. I have always felt that Sam Fisher is a much better character than Solid Snake. Zoonami just might have some characters that are better than both of them.
Namco is working on a Revolution game, but I don’t have details on it. I am sure that it is not a Soul Caliber III port. I don’t see why they just won’t add online play and Link and Ganon to the game and release it as a launch title. That would be a very smart move.
Activision is working on some ports for the Revolution. You will see what they have for the Xbox 360 at E3. At least one of these games will be ported to the Revolution for its launch.
On 1st party information:
Like I said, I have seen seven Nintendo titles, some of which will be at E3. When the DS was launced, it had one sub par 1st party game. This will not be the case with the Revolution’s launch. If they were to release all the games I’ve seen at launch, it would easily be the best launch ever for a console.
I can confirm that Nintendo is working on a new, orignal Mario game. In my opinion, the last few Miyamoto games havn’t been that interesting. This will change with this game. Like Mario 64 for the N64, this game will introduce all of the capibilities of the console. It will use the pressure sensitive controls mainly, but the voice controls as well as gyroscopic controls will be used as well. From what I saw, this game will use mini games to introduce many of these schemes. All of these mini games could be released as stand alone games.
A new Super Smash Bros. Melee is in the works as well. This game will demonstrate the online functions of the Revolution. Nintendo has added many new things into the game, included a deeper combat system. Many more special moves are included as well as some very cool suprises. The levels will include some destructible environments, and the characters will be fully customizable. Want to play as Mario in his 80’s outfit? Or would you prefer the 90’s look? It’s your choice. The most innovative part of the game is the different modes. In previous games, you were allowed to play in giant mode, metal mode, small mode, etc. That has changed. You will be able to choose to play in a “Paper” mode (a la Paper Mario), a cel shaded mode (Wind Waker), or Viewtiful Joe-esque mode.
As I said earlier, Retro is working on a Halo killer. This game is going to be one of the best games at E3. In my opinion, StarCraft was the best RTS ever. This game is going to use some similar ideas. In most FPS, you play as a hero trying to save the day. In Retro’s game, they allow you to choose which storyline you want to play, just like StarCraft allows you to play as Terran, Zerg, etc. Biological weapons will play a major part in the game. Imagine fighting in a chemical plant, where toxics are stored everywhere. By shooting them, you emit the toxic. If you get hit by this stuff, many different things may happen. For instance, you may lose sight on the screen, your controls might be inverted or slowed down, etc. Or, if your character gets the fever, the controller might get hot. Very hot. The alien races are very interesting also. You will be able to switch to 3rd person in order to move faster (similar to running in Odd World: Stranger’s Wrath). You will be able to “impregnate” human players by grabbing on to them for a certain amount of time. This will implant a NPC in them, which will burst out at your command, instantly killing the human player. You will then be able to use voice control to command the NPC.
I will reveal what I know about the other four games later.

Like Reggie said, Nintendo is changing. They aren’t going to sit around and let Sony and Microsoft steal all of their marketshare. I think they are going to do very well next generation. But it won’t be a cake walk or anything. I still think the PS3 is going to win the next generation. It is alot closer to completion than many think, and at E3 they will show off some amazing stuff as well.
I will tell you guys about the other four titles later. Zelda is not one of them, although I have seen some preliminary designs for the new one. Go look at the Elder Scrolls: Oblivion pics, and then put Link into those environments. A beautiful sight indeed.

Monkey C: He’s not my co-worker. I don’t even know him, unless of course someone else from my studio is on this blog. That is an interesting idea, but not close.
With respects to the Mario game, it is not Mario 128. Mario 128 is a Gamecube game, and it should be shown at E3 this year. The Mario game for the Revolution is still in development, and right now Miyamoto is just using it as a tech demo so to speak. There is a story and everything, but the game is far from finished. I think everyone will be very impressed by it.
There is too much info here for me to get into at the moment. An interesting thing though is the mention of the controller getting hot as an affect of the toxins in Retro's FPS. Could this mean that the control will be able to play with your senses? I remember hearing the rumor about that a while back during the "touching is good, but feeling is better" rant of rumors.
