Nintendo Rumours | Fight Night Wii, ChuChu Rocket DS, Red Steel Online, New Zelda & Much More

By Adam Riley 09.11.2007 24

A supposed Industry Insider calling herself 'Surfer_Girl' has released a large list of updates on various games and happenings in the Industry. These are purely rumours for now, though, so take everything within with a whole heap of salt! Read on below for her supposed inside scoop on various issues:

  • IO-Interactive's next Hitman game, tentatively slated for release next summer, is coming to the Wii;
  • Even though the forthcoming Prince of Persia 4 will probably not be coming to the Wii, the system will receive an "alternate title" in the Prince of Persia franchise;
  • Neither of n-Space's two Wii titles stars a ghost. However, they are even more ambitious than that ghost game and far better. One features a temple level that looks like it was swiped out of Red Steel and the other more ambitious title features an alien reptilian creature who bares quite a resemblance to Ganondorf. I'd be surprised if either sees release before March 2009;
  • After great success with Athens 2004, Eurocom is developing sequel, 2008 Beijing Olympics, for Sega;
  • That non-Metroid game Retro Studios is working on is a new IP that is not an FPS;
  • Zoonami has a few titles that will be available through WiiWare next year;
  • Q Entertainment is working on WiiWare title or two for release for next year;
  • Space Michael won't be in Space Channel 5 Part 3;
  • ChuChu Rocket! comeback for DS and/or Wii;
  • EA's next-gen snowboarding title that may or may not have SSX in the title is coming next Autumn, at the same time frame as Shaun White Snowboarding;
  • Red Steel 2 will not arrive before May, but will come with multiplayer and co-op;
  • LEGO Indiana Jones is coming out after or at the same time as the Indiana Jones movie;
  • Yet another Super Monkey Ball game is in the works;
  • Fight Night 2008 is coming to the Wii;
  • Fuse Games + that pink round guy that floats = their next DS title [as Cubed3 has previously speculated ];
  • Super Punch-Out! is coming to Virtual Console next year;
  • Monster Games is developing another game for Nintendo, that is not an Excite Truck sequel;
  • Wii Motor Sports Airplane is a WiiWare title;
  • Mario Superstar Baseball Wii is sliding to home base in the summer;
  • Nintendo's new handheld will see release in late 2009;
  • Something from J.J. Abrams, that is not Lost, is getting the game treatment;
  • Ubisoft Montpelier is working on Beyond Good & Evil 2, Fr

The Nintendo on Raving Rabbids 2 thing was hilarious Smilie

Some of them don't sound too unlike, but some of them sound too good to be true. Examples, new Wiiware games based on Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong AND Metroid? A new Zelda game?

No mention of Pikmin either. I reckon they're lies, personally I'd love to be proved wrong, some of these things sound great :-/

New Monkey Ball & Kirby games too... I want. If there was a new Monkey Ball game, I sure as hell hope it's not on 360 or PS3.

It all sounds like educated guesses to me. Half of it sounds inevitable or possible and half sounds bollocks!

It's probably best ignored.

Three Wario games are in development

Smilie!

Some interesting stuff there, but isn't this just a bunch of rumors again? Although Wario Land 5 needs to come out for the DS. Smilie

Wario Land 5 = Warioworld
Wario Land 6 = Master if Disguise

At least that's what it seems like... I don't think they'll use the Wario Land title anymore, the Wario series is too vague.

Still, they could make a Wario Land 7 & it could be awesome. Smilie

Personally I want another new Warioware. SmilieSmilieSmilie

Though it all sounds great and everything, it's just rumours unfortunately.

"Nintendo's new handheld will see release in late 2009;"

...and thus we know its all bull.

http://www.fanficmaker.com <-- Tells some truly terrible tales.
Last update; Mice,Plumbers,Animatronics and Airbenders. We also have the socials; Facebook & G+

"Also, Nintendo really did not want Rayman Raving Rabbits 2 to come at the same time as Super Mario Galaxy, since their game had a stratosphere of buzz and the limbless guy's popular party might disrupt sales of SMG,"

Also, bull.
Really now, RR dosnt stand one micron of a chance of distrupting marios sales.
RR2 should be held back to improve *its own* sales.

Or they could just cancel it! Smilie

I'd lol. Smilie

Well, given how far off the rumorreporter.com guy was over the course of this generation, I think the best thing to do is just keep track of how many substantial trues and falses she gets.

But by then, she'll have gotten the web traffic she wants, and will have moved on.

"one of the clouds in the game was shaped like Pikachu." , jajajaja

Also:

- EA are working on Fifa '09. Release date Jul 08.

- Steven Speilburg is working on a multiplatform game that'll see releases on unspecified 'Nintendo platforms'.

- Shenmue III will NOT be coming to Wii, though Shenmue: Ryo's Jacket Zip will be a Nintendo-exclusive.

- Next Mario game? You guessed it, slated for 2010.

- Yoshi's Island Wii is in development at Retro. Yoshi-Racing (working title) and Yoshi-gotchi are being considered for Wii/DS.

- Banjo games coming to VC. Banjo DS still a possibility.

- Bungie to develop Wii-exclusive IP.

- Portal to be released as a stand-alone game for Wii, summer 2008. Will gain incredible Wii-exclusive controls that take full advantage of the system's unique interface. No word yet on extra content, though we know Valve don't skimp on extras!


See, I can do it too. Some of it's bound to stick.

Less posty, more gamey.

Wow, really?

Smilie

- Fuse, being the pinball experts, were bound to be doing something else Nintendo-related on DS after the success of Metroid Prime Pinball.

- Another Super Monkey Ball is bloody obvious...

- I've been given a hint about Itadaki Street coming to Europe myself, so I DO believe that it's coming to the US as well.

- Fight Night Wii has been spoken about several times by the actual developer, saying it's practically a given.

- Zoonami has also practically confirmed in past interviews it wants to go down the downloadable route, plus stated its relationship with Nintendo is still very tight. 1 + 1 = 2...

- Retro is bound to re-use some of the assets from its cancelled GC projects, like Raven Blade, the racing game or even the American Football title.

- ChuChu Rocket was a long-term seller on GBA, so it would not surprise me to see a DS game and/or a version on WiiWare (not straight Wii).

Gives us the chance to do some fun speculation, I suppose...There's a bunch of stuff from Rumour Reporter about Mastuno-san (ex-Square Enix, worked on FFXII, created Vagrant Story, worked on Ogre Battle series) and how he's working with Nintendo and Monolith Soft on a Final Fantasy killer...All idle speculation.

- Ubisoft will be making a game for Wii, it might come out next year.

Twitter | C3 Writer/Moderator | Backloggery

They need to come out with a pokemon game for the wii using the stuff they did with battle revelution, and put in a one player story mode for it... Custimizible characters in a one player story mode, -sigh- when nintendo relizes they could do that there will be a PS16 out there... Blasted nintendo idiots...Smilie



It all needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. Super PunchOut on the VC next year is a certainty though.

LOL!!!

-Nintendo announces that they have just now realized Mario is a whore. He's been in every type of game besides Guitar Hero and Hockey.

-Sony execs realize that their "bowl of ideas", a bowl of pieces of paper that execs wright and put in, is actually cut up segments of Nintendo plans.

-Resident Evil 4 will come to the DS, PSP, X-Box 360, PS3, and Wii Virtual Console...all at the same time.

-Peter Moore will get a hair cut.

A fail so epic, it may just be a win.

I don't know why but that sounds real...well some of that anyway.

If these are true, then Nintendo is really milking zelda.

Haha, well I'm not so sure it is fake.
The little stuff added about development of Red Steel 2 and (laugh all you will) the Pikachu shaped cloud in RRR2 ame it all the more believable to me.
Either that or this lier is very good at what he/she does Smilie

I have to see that Pikachu shaped cloud before I pass judgement. Is it the first one you see in the game? The second? 7th, eighth or Cloud 9?

Heres a couple more rumours, this time from EGM;

- THQ is bringing back WWE No Mercy via the WiiWare Channel. It will feature updated rosters.

- Sega is going full steam ahead on another

Shenmue Wii?
I am not getting my hopes up, but if its the case i'll be overjoyed


Always suspect the dungarees wearing Italian @_@
