How about the two that actually make sense for a Nintendo system?

And by that I mean Golden Sun and Skies of Arcadia? =)

I don't know... just imagine if you're a game developer. You've probably grown up with Nintendo games from the NES era... NOW, you are in a position where you're able to work on a ZELDA game. How exciting would that be? I mean, come on. Who wouldn't be excited to get the opportunity to put your touch on such a beloved and longstanding franchise?

If I were a developer, I would freak out at the prospect. Yes, eventually, I would want to create original IPs, but this would be too awesome to pass up.

And funny you should say that, because Mike Kelbaugh (producer for the Prime series/president of Retro) sounded incredibly excited for their next game...Whether it turns out to be this rumoured Zelda title or not, it's clear that they want to work on what they are...

Mention of 3d Golden Sun makes me sooooo happy

In all honesty, if they ever make SSB 4 they need to hire a new director and revolutionize the franchise. Bring some new ideas, revolutionize the characters and be insanely creative.

And before anyone says that Sakurai will forever be the main director, he seems eager to move on after Brawl, and Nintendo should let him go.

But parting is such sweet sorrow!

At least Suda51 would make a cool Ganondorf.

So much bad blood in here! DESPAIR IS EVERYWHERE!

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #37 on:** January 31, 2008, 06:31:58 PM »

A few more rumors, mostly from SurferGirl:

Speaking of Capcom, they are developing a Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles 2 with scenarios from Resident Evil 2 and 4 after the smashing success of the first one.

n-Space will take their first step into Wii development with a new story-intensive shooter featuring RPG elements.

PROPE will be unveiling their original Wii game "before TGS." Sega has optioned the publishing rights.

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #38 on:** January 31, 2008, 07:01:16 PM »

Man, will Surfergirl ever stop?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #39 on:** January 31, 2008, 07:24:18 PM »

Ironically, rumor has it that SurferGirl is actually 3 different people and only one of them is actually female, but all are supposedly gaming journalist.
And, as long as SurferGirl has anonymity on "her" side, no, I don't think she will.

I believe it was the new Sonic RPG for the DS, being made by Bioware.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #41 on:** February 01, 2008, 09:08:56 AM »

Nope, the RPG tidbit was in the "upcoming issue" section of that very issue with the Sonic RPG cover story... =)

The Omen · « **Reply #42 on:** February 04, 2008, 08:57:52 AM »

Hopefully that new Retro/Zelda rumor is actually hinting at the Ganondorf adventure game.

They already covered that.

Personally, despite fanboi megaton hopes, I predict it will be a run-down of either Tales: Knights of Ratatosk or Monster Hunter 3 Wii...

The rumor on the BIG RPG to be revealed in the next Nintendo Mag...

Kingdom Hearts 3 to be Wii Exclusive....

Quote
Summary:

- Kingdom hearts 3 Wii exclusive, developed and published by square-enix.
- Tetsuya Nomura is the game director.
- Yoko Shimomura composer.
- Direct sequel to KH3[KH2?], but also will reveal interesting things about chains of memories.
- Sora main character, a new misterious girls is also one of the main characters
- combat system vastly improved, every attack looks "sick", uses Wii-Remote in a very intuitive way
- Best looking Wii game, uses normal mapping far more than Konami's dewey's adventure, the animations are incredible and the art directon is a little less "cartoony"{edit because of filter}
- Winter 2008 release.

It also mentions that the Fatal Frame IP is now belonging to Nintendo, along with other details from the magazine, which has yet to be received by the rest of the public.

I say take this one with a giant salt lick until the magazine hits the streets, but I want to believe it as it has been speculated on since forever no matter how fake this actually seems.

Kairon · « **Reply #47 on:** February 04, 2008, 04:37:49 PM »

Hah. That's sooo fake. Thate poster has only 2 posts on that forums and never returned. Also said that they had received the magazine in the mail, but doesn't post even crappy cell-phone images? PSHAW

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #48 on:** February 04, 2008, 04:47:26 PM »

But Surfergirl also mentioned it in "her" blog......
It has to be true... ::roll eyes::

But to be honest, I would be willing to bet that KH will make it to Wii at sometime but it probably won't be exclusive as it would probably also be on the PS2.
Will it make it out this year? Who knows, but I think they should do a KH1&2 Wiimake combo before releasing a KH3, unless KH3 isn't a continuation of the story line.

Louieturkey · « **Reply #49 on:** February 04, 2008, 05:03:24 PM »

I like that idea, release both KH1&2 both the final+ versions or whatever on Wii about 5-6 months before KH3 and I'd double dip on the first game again. I haven't played 2 yet so it'd be a treat I think.
