there should be a couple ont he market now from third parties or at least they should be coming o ut soon

there were like 3 of them announced and nintendo supposedly has a first party one coming out

as far as this i think its BS

Kinopio, you should know better than to post stuff like that.

Rumors are one thing but emils from "theProducer of Namco" are another.


This couldn't be more obviously bullshit. What's up with all the rumor mills lately? It seems like people are on a mission to make shit up, more so than usual.

I don't see how the rumor I posted is different than any other. Just because the source said his source was an e-mail other than saying "a source i cannot identify" doesn't mean its less credible. Not that I think it is credible, as I clearly stated before.

Personally I'm just sick of the rumor mill lately.

that'll always be the dream.

although i don't think "TheProducer From Namco" is a reliable source.

Hey Lucas! Where have you been?


If you read "Game Over", Nintendo's dealings with Namco during the NES days were'nt exactly friendly. Even though the TRI-Force agreement seems to show they can work together again, I highly doubt that Namco would be that reliant on Nintendo, to make their cash earnings.

Nintendo and Namco seem very friendly as of late. I know most know this, but Nintendo is publishing Namco's future Gamecube games in Japan. Soul Calibur 2 even.

Ironic how one company can be good and another can be bad when all you are to them is 'Customer #1392384.'

Exactly, and for good reason too. Because Nintendo is Nintendo and MS is MS.

I wonder what would happen to Mr. Driller.

I can see it now, SD Soul Calibur 2 EX Paint-by-number or something wack like that.
