According to someone I know who was stretching the NDS more then he should. Apparently, there was a Metroid Zero Mission telecon last Tuesaday evening... and it Metroid Prime 2 info. Only a few tidbits from him...

Quote
There was not a TON of MP2 info disclosed, but there was some, which will be mentioned.

There's also some super hyping going down at IGN forums by the editors right now. About Capcom (not sure about this one, yet), apparently.

Lordy!

Lordy, I say!

NDAs have my tongue. But whoa! Whoa, I say! Holy crap!

Please discuss.

P.S. I apologize in advance. E3 2004 will be happy and warm.

Jeremy Dunham editor for IGNPS2:
I can vouch for this. I too have seen something and Matt isn't even close to giving it enough credit. Best ever? Maybe,

Either way, it's going to be my most wanted rather soon.

So... yeah. The guy talking about MP2 is a fairly reliable source. Not sure about IGN, though

*raises eyebrow* my interest has definitely peaked at what this is all about.

"E3 2004 will be happy and warm."

Well, duh...

"E3 2004 will be happy and warm."

Translation: E3 will have at least one Cube game that, unlike most of the connectivity stuff that dominated Nintendo's lineup last year, people will actually give a sh!t about.

Where is this Capcom stuff coming from? Matt doesn't mention them in the post you quoted. We probably shouldn't be too excited though since the PS2 guy is talking about it which suggests it's not exclusive. I mean a good multiplatform game is still great but it's not going to sell any Cubes.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #4 on:** January 29, 2004, 09:57:04 AM »

<----gives a **** about connectivity games like Pac-man VS, Four Swords +, and FF:CC

edit: Ok, wait...Was he talking about Capcom? It sounds like it could be anything...And I surely hope it's not just RE4-related, considering it's already been revealed...Oh well, it's not that long of a wait...

NDAs, eh? *signs point to a Ninty franchise*

The Capcom part was posted by Mary Jane (another Gamecube editor), who said this was all "reference to a recent Capcom teleconference" or something along those lines. I can't get into the Insider forums to comfirm she said that, and I'll have to wait until Sunday until I can bum my friends account again.

Also, this was all posted in the IGN Gamecube forums. So most of this is all Nintendo related, most likely.

A little update, regarding both Metroid and IGN...

Quote
If this is Metroid related, they just upped the embargo to 3:30 PM PST tomorrow. If it is not Metroid related, which I beginning think that it is not, then..well..I have no idea.

rpglover · « **Reply #7 on:** January 29, 2004, 01:58:14 PM »

i would bet to say that it has something to do with resident evil 4 but who knows for sure- what else could capcom have up its sleeve??

manunited4eva22 · « **Reply #8 on:** January 29, 2004, 02:30:24 PM »

How does metroid deal with capcom? This has officially begun to make zero sense.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #9 on:** January 29, 2004, 02:38:02 PM »

It's two different pieces of news...

manunited4eva22 · « **Reply #10 on:** January 29, 2004, 02:41:33 PM »

Dah, how dare you make sense of me being stupid bill.

Jonnyboy117 · « **Reply #11 on:** January 29, 2004, 02:44:52 PM »

The teleconference was real. I participated in it and was the person who asked about Metroid Prime 2, since Mr. Sakamoto is involved with both games. There was not much into revealed, unfortunately. I'll be able to tell you more about it tomorrow.

joshnickerson · « **Reply #12 on:** January 29, 2004, 02:56:55 PM »

Meh. I'm not going to get excited yet. I'll just wait for E3 before I believe any rumors sprouting out of IGN.
And knowing IGN, they'll gush over it until it's finally revealed, then they'll rant for months about how "Nintendo is screwing up again"...

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #13 on:** January 29, 2004, 04:31:26 PM »

Ta da!

Just thought I would add this...

rpglover · « **Reply #14 on:** January 29, 2004, 04:44:20 PM »

i knew it was resident evil 4..........

rpglover · « **Reply #15 on:** January 29, 2004, 04:46:59 PM »

i just found this as well- at www.gamecubeheaven.tk they posted this news

"Killer 7, one of the Capcom 5, is no longer exclusive to the Gamecube. In a press conference held in U.S. Las Vegas, Hiroyuki the producer and Kobayashi announced Killer 7 for the PlayStation 2. Killer 7 will be revealed at E3 and will still debut this July for the Gamecube."

Viewtiful Joe is safe with me.

Perfect Cell · « **Reply #17 on:** January 29, 2004, 05:29:20 PM »

Thats hardly good news. Not good at all. Capcom has been arguably our strongest third party and now their most mature, and hyped new game is no longer exclusive? I hope it changes soon. Nintendo needs to show Capcom some more money hats.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #18 on:** January 29, 2004, 05:48:16 PM »

It's not that bad, either...We still have RE4, which I'm sure is much more anticipated anyway...Plus, I bet the GC version of Killer7 will have a timed exclusitivity...

Perfect Cell · « **Reply #19 on:** January 29, 2004, 05:56:50 PM »

It Is bad. Sure, we have RE4, (How long till Capcom finds a way to get out of that deal too or Viewtifull Joe) and it might be a Timed Exclusive, and it might look worse on the PS2. But it still means one less Hotly Anticipated Exclusive on the GCN, one less reason for a PS2 owner to pony up the 99 bucks for a GCN. Capcom used to be our big Third Party Ally. Sure Acclaim and Eidos could leave, but when our closest allies leave weaken support then its not good Stuff like this is definetly NOT what Nintendo needed to start a pivotal year for them. 2004 Will be very important for the long term success of The Big N. Im definetly worried about how they started the year.

Appears resident evil 4 might be playable, and Mat has had the honors, by this link at capcom japans website.
