Rumore, rumore.... (Must read)

Extraido de Tendonet

Hello! I'm the Rumour Monkey and from my tree hide out above the Nintendo of Japan offices I'll be bringing you all the latest information that I can get using my honed simian spy skills. This edition includes rumours on Mario Kart, Nintendo's online games and a possible new Square game.


Mario Kart

First up, not much information has been released to you humans on the huge "hit to be" Mario Kart GC. Fear not! I was taking a pee up against Miyamotos window yesterday when on his desk I saw a whole list of games with the prefix "World Smash".

Apparently many of Nintendo's games which are to be online will all have the prefix "World Smash" this includes Mario Kart: World Smash, Mario Golf: World Smash and Mario Tennis: World Smash. All of which will be revealed at this years E3.


More Online Games

Not only that but my best mate Terry Chinchilla (he lives in the next tree along) has been going through the trash cans of Nintendo headquarters and found that not only is Nintendo very serious about online gaming but at this years E3 will show lots more online games, possibly more than both Sony and Microsoft.

Further online games include Animal Crossing 2 and Pokemon, the latter will allow users to use their Game Boy Advance online via their GAMECUBE.


Donkey Kong

After the sale of Rareware's soul to the devil many of you filthy humans have been wondering what's going on with the Donkey Kong franchise. Personally I couldn't care less, I've met the guy and he's all, "Have you played my latest game?" and "How many games have you stared in?". But it's my duty as chief TENDONET Rumour Monkey to give you the facts.

I have it on good authority from Terry that Nintendo's Intelligent Systems is making a new Donkey Kong Country style game which is too be called "Donkey Kong Island". The game will be played in 2D but use 3D graphics in a similar fashion to Super Smash Bros. Melee.



Metroid Prime 2

While I was going through Iwata's mail this morning I came across a letter from Retro Studios. Apparantly the next GC Metroid game will be called something similar to Metroid Prime: The Hand to the Fire, although this could be a poor translation.



Square

Another exclusive GAMECUBE game from Sqaure will be announced between now and E3. That was all the information I could get as Terry was distracting Miyamoto by scratching his eyes while I accosted the Square representive.


Well that's all for now. I've got to get back to my tree now, I've got a man coming around about fitting some new bark so I'll see you guys again soon.

Bye Ze Bye!
