Retro_Link Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Not a great deal thats new here but still... http://www.cubed3.com/news/7293/1/Mario_Kart,_New_Zelda,_Wii_Motorsports_&_More A rumour has cropped up regarding some projects Nintendo is currently working on for the Wii console, Mario Kart included. Check out the list below: EAD Software Development Group No.1 Wii Health (2007) Mario Kart (2008) EAD Software Development Group No.2 Wii Music (2007) Animal Crossing Wii (2008) Wii Motorsports (TBA) EAD Software Development Group No.3 The Legend of Zelda: Wii (2009) EAD Software Development Group No.4 Big Brain Academy Wii (2007) EAD Software Development Group No.5 Super Mario Galaxy (2007) It needs to be remembered that this is not an extensive list, so there will likely be many other projects underway, but it is pleasing to see the likes of Mario Kart and the already talked about new Zelda iteration, specifically made for Wii. Share your thoughts on this list in the forum below. Whilst this list has no official confirmation, it's a very plausible release list for these franchises... 2007 - Wii Health and Wii Music have been talked about lately and it's likely they'll make it out this year. - Super Mario Galaxy is making it out this year. - Big Brain Academy has been shown in some detail and is likely to make it out this year. - Wii Motorsports has been rumoured for a long time, since E3 2006. 2008 - Mario Kart and Animal Crossing seem very likely 2008 additions. 2009 - Zelda, 2009 is a very likely date. Can't....wait....that....long! Nothing on many other franchises however... Star Fox, Donkey Kong, F-Zero, Project Hammer, Disaster, Mario Sports titles, Nintendo sports titles etc...
McMad Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 I'm not sure about this list, I mean, where are the DS games!? It may be something made up by some internet geek just to mess with Nintendo forumers. But if it is possibly true I'll share my thoughts on what could be going on with other Nintendo franchises: Star Fox: It may be in Namco's hands again or maybe the team that made the DS game (wasn't it Q Games or something). Maybe Nintendo's put the franchise in a hiatus for the time being. Donkey Kong: There's three in development at the moment! I'm not sure who are working on Bongo Blast or King of Swing 2 but aren't Capcom making a Jungle Beat game for the arcades? F-Zero: Amusement Vision are working on it again? Or there's nothing planned, still I'd put my money on there being a DS title in the works. Project Hammer: Being worked on by NST in America. Disaster: Being made by the Japanese company Monolith Software who also made the Baten Kaitos games. I think Nintendo are (Hopefully) abandoning Mario sports titles although Mario Strikers Charged is out soon and that is being made by Next Level Games. I don't know this list may be true, but most likely not. I love rumours, during 2005 I pretty much lived off of them.
Ren of Heavens Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 I wont say its true or not, but the releases seems very likely. One of this teams are working on Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for DS as well.
DCK Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 I don't think that's true. The titles are too obvious and Nintendo's teams have a far larger capacity than that - there's probably some secret DS games but why are they not mentioned? For one I think it's a certain bet that Miyamoto is also supervising Pikmin 3 at the moment. A Nintendogs Wii is also inevitable and there should be an attempt to make an original mainstream seller for the Wii. About DK Bongo Blast; it's probably made by the same studio as DK Jungle Beat - Nintendo Tokyo. I think Nintendo's outsourcing of franchises may continue. AV did a good job on F-Zero, and Namco may actually pull off a good Star Fox with the Wiimote.

Yeah I thought the titles seemed too obvious aswell! cubed3.com do say however, that it's likely a number of other games are being worked on. I hope Nintendo let AV handle the next F-Zero as they did an outstanding job!! It also frees up Nintendo to work on something else! Don't mind if Namco get taken off Starfox because their effort was pretty bad! The franchise needs to be taken back to its routes whoever developes it!
McMad Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 About DK Bongo Blast; it's probably made by the same studio as DK Jungle Beat - Nintendo Tokyo. Don't think so, apparently the Nintendo Tokyo team is making Mario Galaxy while being supervised by Mr. Miyamoto.
DCK Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Don't think so, apparently the Nintendo Tokyo team is making Mario Galaxy while being supervised by Mr. Miyamoto. You're kidding? Seeing DK Jungle Beat's awesomeness that's a brilliant plan, though. Nintendo Tokyo seems to count as part of EAD as well - it's called Nintendo EAD Tokyo. DK Bongo Blast is developed by a company called Paon according to Wikipedia.
Fierce_LiNk Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 I think that list makes sense, especially when they've also stated that it isn't extensive, so there will be other games that are being worked on that have not been mentioned. All this Wii Health talking is making me curious. What could they possibly be doing?
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 It could be real even if they dont mention all Wii titles or DS titles. Well I should go and start the Zelda hype.
mcj metroid Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 I don't think that's true. The titles are too obvious and Nintendo's teams have a far larger capacity than that - there's probably some secret DS games but why are they not mentioned? . Not to be a smart ass but it's because they are secret. It would be a bit silly revealing them all at the same time. there are a lot of secret ds games in the works i would think
spirited away Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Yeah I thought the titles seemed too obvious aswell! cubed3.com do say however, that it's likely a number of other games are being worked on.

Ahh but Starfox Assault was co-developed by Namco and Nintendo EAD so some of the blame has to go with them.
mcj metroid Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Ahh but Starfox Assault was co-developed by Namco and Nintendo EAD so some of the blame has to go with them. well it's someones fault. It was a perfectly good idea horribly executed.
McMad Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Not be be a smart ass but it's because they are secret. it would be a bit silly revealing them all at the same time Not to be a smart ass, but this is a rumoured list, that has apparently been leaked, it probably isn't real so whoever may have made it just put some obvious titles there to make it slightly more believeable.

Just saying that obviously if it was real they wouln't give away secret details
Fierce_LiNk Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Not to be a smart ass, but this is a rumoured list, that has apparently been leaked, it probably isn't real so whoever may have made it just put some obvious titles there to make it slightly more believeable. To be honest, none of these titles haven't been mentioned before. Seem like no-brainers, to me.
McMad Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 .but that's pretty much what i was saying. Just saying that obviously if it was real they wouln't give away secret details Why not? If there are some games on this list that are meant to be secret (Mario Kart, Zelda), then why aren't all the secret games on this list? Secondly, why is just Nintendo EAD on this list, what about Intelligent Systems, Brownie Brown or NST? Edit: Yeah F-L all these titles are too obvious. Yeah it's a fake.
MrRon Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Isn't Super Mario Galaxy being developed by Nintendo Tokyo? I'm sure I heard that was the case when it was first shown. I mean, I may be wrong...
mcj metroid Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Why not?

immy Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Nintendo needs to expand badly, they have enough money.
Cube Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Nintendo needs to expand badly, they have enough money. What do you mean by that?
DCK Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Nintendo needs to expand badly, they have enough money. They have about 12 first party teams; they can have more than 18 games in development at the same time in first party alone (not counting Game Freak, HAL Labs and other 2nd parties). I'd say that's pretty decent.
flameboy Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Well when I read this thread title was excited, but found this apparently leaked list a bit underwhelming....like has been pointed out by Flinky, all these titles are no brainers... we've either been told about them to some degree already, or anyone even with the lowest IQ could tell you they were coming at some point-like Mario Kart
