New Camelot RPG for GCN

« New Camelot RPG on GameCube

The newest issue of Japan's Dorimaga has an interview with Hiroyuki Takahashi, the president of Camelot. Camelot, a software developer, has previously worked on games like Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Shining Force III, Hot Shots Golf, and Golden Sun.

In the article, Takahashi indicates that his company is currently hard at work on a new role-playing game for the Nintendo GameCube, and the title should be revealed sometime in 2003. Nintendo and Camelot expect the game to hit in Japan during the same year.

That's all the information we've currently got, but we hope to have more in a few months. Stay tuned. » (Source)

I love Camelot's RPGs so this is great news. This might even be a GCN killer app for me... :)

That shit better be Golden Sun.

Even if it's not Golden Sun, wouldn't you trust Camelot to deliver the goods? I mean, Golden Sun itself is a pretty new series that turned out brilliantly....

Still, if it is Golden Sun then a Gamecube owner I shall soon be. :)

I want Camelot to restore links with Sega so they can make more Shining Force games. Fuck Nintendo and their gay Mario sports spinoffs.

It's not that I don't trust Camelot, it's just that it is a great series and there's no real need to start another one this soon. But if it isn't Golden Sun whatever, too early to tell at this point.

I don't think there is any hope for that in the near future. Camelot have stated SF is in the past for them and that they'll be focusing on Golden Sun as their trademark franchise...... Plus, the new Shining Force is in development by someone else.

Maybe one day in the distant future it could happen again though... but still, if the new SF turns out well -and it should- I'd be more than happy to have a good SF and Golden Sun as continuing series.

...
I'd also love to see them make a Shining Force style "Tactics Golden Sun" though... that's for sure... ;)

are they a nintendo 2nd party?

We can dream :(

Shining Force 4! or Shining Force 3 compilation!

Here's to hoping it's a Shining Force compilation.

Hell, I'd settle for a Shining Force 3 compilation.

You know, opting for a long-stagnant RPG series instead of two sports games that can appeal to non-sports fans? Yeah, makes sense.

From what I have read there is no chance that this can be Shining Force 3 compilation or Shining Force 4. Camelot themselves have said they are not and will not be working on Shining Force.... and they have nothing to do with Shining Soul or Sega's new Shining Force game (console and title still unknown).

So, look for the new Shining Force to come from Sega..... but I agree 100% about them (sega) putting together a Shining Force III compilation. I'd buy a console just for that game. They should also complile the Genesis games on a GBA cart - like they did for Phantasy Star. ;)

Or they could do like they did with Sonic and pump out the Shining games onto a GC disk. Then you get a compilation, and no worries about dark screens!

They make good games using Mario, and they make good RPGs. why not have Camelot make the next Mario RPG?

Yah i always tought they became 2nd party too.. maybe thats why..

Sweetness.

I want a sequel to GBC Mario Golf. That was such a freaking great game. The melding of rpg elements and golf was disturbingly tasty.

Camelot is a really odd company. They excell at RPGs and golf games...

strange

yeah seriously. I think the adventure mode for certain types of sports game should be handled like that(well, all sports games to me, but I imagine some people would rather just go through a season or tournament or whatever). Instead of just a list of names or teams or whatever to cycle through.

God I wish it was a Shining Force 3 collection.

Came upon this thread looking for recent posts about Mario Tennis.
..apparently no recent word on either Camelot project.
(Why isn't there an "Official Mario Tennis Thread"?! -I'm not around enough to start one)

Well, just to remind everyone of what we may have to look forward to
*bump*
