Quote:First up is a rumor that says that the Japanese gaming publication Nintendo Dream is reporting that Nintendo will possibly announce a new game on August 7th in Japan. So is there any truth to this? Nintendo Dream does report that Nintendo will have a meeting to go over their management policy. But this rumor says it is a press conference, it is not, and as far as I know Nintendo Dream has not gone on to say anything about new first party games. Is there a possibility that Nintendo will reveal a new game at a management meeting? Very unlikely. This may just be creating something out of nothing.
The other, more substantiated rumor comes from an interview in a French publication (which release far too many rumors to stay credible) that is being reported by JeuxFrance. According to the interview Nintendo has been going around to big publishers looking for someone to take up work on particular Nintendo franchises. Shigeru Miyamoto stated that Capcom's Shinji Mikami (worked on Resident Evil 4) would gladly develop a franchise title with Nintendo. Miyamoto also confirmed that Metroid Prime 2 would be released in 2004.
I wonder what franchise Capcom and Nintendo might potentially work on, Zelda perhaps?
