Cube Wars!!! - Great Rumbler - 22nd April 2004
Quote:In a recent update at IGN Matt casually mentioned that Cube Wars is in development. The title will be like the Advance Wars on the Game Boy Advance but of course on the GameCube.
The game is apparently being developed by British studio Kuju. The game will be similar to Advance Wars in terms of gameplay but will take place in a fully 3D environment and you can command your units in real-time.
Expect more information during E3 next month.
This is great! First, Fire Emblem is announced for the GC and now Cube Wars!!
Cube-Europe

Yeah I read this in the mailbag last night, awesome news. Too bad it won't be a TBS game, but still, CUBE WARS!!!

Cube Wars!!

Actually, it's great now because the Wars series is finally differentiating itself from the Fire Emblem series in more ways than merely complexity. Now Nintendo has both TBS and RTS series going on. If it's real time, better hope that you can choose from many nations and that they are dramatically different in play style. Aside from that, simplicity is fine.

IS isn't developing it though, so I'm not as excited about it as I am for FE.
Cube Wars!!! - A Black Falcon - 23rd April 2004
Yes, no IE = not as much excitement... still, it's good news.
Cube Wars!!! - Great Rumbler - 23rd April 2004
I'm sure Nintendo is going to have a hand in it, like they did with Metroid.
Cube Wars!!! - A Black Falcon - 23rd April 2004
Is this them?

Cube Wars!!! - Great Rumbler - 23rd April 2004
Probably.
Cube Wars!!! - big guy - 23rd April 2004
isn't this the company that was rumored for a short time to be developing castlevania for GC?
Cube Wars!!! - Great Rumbler - 24th April 2004
I haven't heard anything about that.
Cube Wars!!! - A Black Falcon - 25th April 2004
Neither have I...
Cube Wars!!! - OB1 - 26th April 2004
I have, and it turned out to be false.
And it's IS, ABF, not IE. ;)
Cube Wars!!! - Great Rumbler - 26th April 2004
IE is Internet Explorer...
Cube Wars!!! - A Black Falcon - 27th April 2004
E, S, same difference... :)
Cube Wars!!! - OB1 - 27th April 2004
You are etupid. :p
Cube Wars!!! - Great Rumbler - 27th April 2004
Yse.
Cube Wars!!! - OB1 - 27th April 2004
Haha, ws ars so cool!
Cube Wars!!! - Great Rumbler - 27th April 2004
Ws totally ars!
Cube Wars!!! - OB1 - 27th April 2004
ABF ie a rstard!
Cube Wars!!! - A Black Falcon - 27th April 2004
'same difference' is so stupid... I don't know, it just sounds stupid. Which is why I used it there. :D
Cube Wars!!! - OB1 - 27th April 2004
You think you'rs just eo eaeey, don't you?
Cube Wars!!! - A Black Falcon - 27th April 2004
Your arguements will assure you of total victory, for sure!
Cube Wars!!! - OB1 - 27th April 2004
What ars you talking about?
Cube Wars!!! - N_A - 30th April 2004
I wouldn't be too excited yet. Have you realized who Kuju is ? They're some crappy start up company, and their last peice of shit, Warhammer 40k Fire Warrior was the absolute worst FPS I've ever played (coming from an ardent fan of the 40k universe).
I don't know why the hell Nintendo would even work with these guys unless they just need a few drones to contract the programming to while they design it themselves.

Remember though, Retro had never made a single game before Metroid Prime, same goes for Silicon Knights. And then there's N-Space who made a few sub-par games but Giest looks like it could be a cool game. Don't underestimate Nintendo's creative influence.
Cube Wars!!! - OB1 - 1st May 2004
Yes, just look at Rare's first game without Nintendo and you'll see how great their magical touch is.
Cube Wars!!! - A Black Falcon - 1st May 2004
Lets hope they can pull it off with these guys and the ones making Geist, but I'm not holding my breath.

Exactly.

Nintendo's got a great track record of helping companies make great games, so I don't see why this should be different. Maybe I'll be surprised, but I don't think so.
Cube Wars!!! - A Black Falcon - 1st May 2004
True, they do seem to have a good record of getting more out of teams than they have before, that's for sure...
Cube Wars!!! - Great Rumbler - 1st May 2004
Yeah, Retro had a ton of problems going on before Nintendo finally stepped in set things straight. There's no doubt in my mind that MP wouldn't be anywhere near as good as it is without Nintendo's help.
Cube Wars!!! - A Black Falcon - 1st May 2004
Umm, Retro is different, it was a Nintendo startup... yes, it had problems, but it had never produced a game so it isn't the same kind of thing.
Cube Wars!!! - Great Rumbler - 1st May 2004
No, they weren't a Nintendo start up. Nintendo bought some of their stock at first and let them run under their own management but things were really getting out of control [slow game development, little results, poor management, ect.] and Nintendo finally stepped in and bought them out completely and that's when things got on track. You're right it's not the same, but I still think it was due to Nintendo that things turned out the way they did.
Cube Wars!!! - A Black Falcon - 1st May 2004
Possibly, but unlike those other cases since Retro didn't actually release anything we can't know for sure.
