...Okay, rumor mill grinding away in my head, so here we go.
Capcom released news that they will bring 5 games to the Nintendo Gamecube.
In no particular order:
Killer 7
Resident Evil 4
Dead Pheonix
Viewtiful Joe
P.N.03 (Product Number 3)
Almost a year ago, Capcom strangely halted production on Dead Pheonix.
In Dead Pheonix you played as a man with wings made of fire who could shoot bolts of energy. You could fly in 3-D and had full movement. The level designs were described as "A good mix of action and puzzle" and each level had end-level bosses.
Capcom gave no reason for stopping the production of Dead Pheonix.
Now, remember a game called Dinosaur Planet? It was a completely new franchise from Rare. New characters, new worlds, the whole nine yards. Nintendo took an interest to it and asked Rare to re-do the game using existing Nintendo characters from the Starfox series.
The same people who begged for another Metroid usually brought up Kid Icarus in the same statement. Nintendo knows that Kid Icarus could bring returning fans and new ones, an already installed demographic but also with beautiful graphics and 3-D gameplay that would bring in new fan bases.
I'm not saying it's going to happen, i'm saying that it's just weird that Dead Pheonix fell off the map and now news sites are hinting at a big game announcement.
Maybe i'm reaching, what do you guys think?
