More SurferGirl Rumors (New Wii Zelda(s)?, Wiiware, Red Steel 2, Fight Night)
I’m not sure who surfergirl is or how she came on the scene, but she has a LONG LIST of some interesting rumors to share:
- 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, Frédérick Raynal’s new game, and an MMO. One of those will see release next year and the other two in 2009;
- Red Steel 2 features online play;
- EA is not working on a console nor is there any plans for such a thing to happen, EA is purely a software company;
- Lost: The Game is as good, original, and inspired as the Alias game. Super interactive success for Jeffrey Abrams yet again;
- Rumoured new Zelda title for Wii? It’s happening. Multiple titles. But the new big, epic Zelda for Wii is probably about two years away;
- Nintendo is working on 30+ WiiWare titles, including some based off franchises such as Zelda (two games) and Mario;
- I heard something back in March or April about a Shenmue title for Wii, but I have not heard anything since about it and doubt that there is any truth to that. Despite announcements to the contrary, I’ve heard from quite a few people that Shenmue III has never actually entered production. To my knowledge, Shenmue Online is the only Shenmue title currently in development;
- WiiWare titles based on Donkey Kong and Metroid are in the works;
- Three Wario games are in development;
- Square Enix’s Itadaki Street DS will see a release in the States sometime next year.
I really hope the WiiWare Channel gets a lot of support from Nintendo as she claims in these rumors. WiiWare games based on Zelda, Metroid, and DK would be pretty awesome! I’m also interested to see what n-Space has up their sleeves for the Wii.
