Red Steel 2 apparently being handed to another developer because it's not going well. Online co-op and release in 2008 likely.

Resistance 2 to start with a bang. Vehicles in multiplayer.

Apparently these are from the latest/upcoming EGM rumors.
I realize there are other console rumors as well, but I figured its easier having them all in one. Animal Crossing and the Wii board rumor are some of the more interesting ones to me in there.
 
Nice find. Looks like PS3 actually has a few cool games coming this year.
 
Yeaa saw this earlier... Was thinking:

Sony teaming up with a major japanese publisher to remake old games for PSN

Maybe remaking Final Fantasy VII! :) lol Just wishing.

Was thinking... do you know if those release dates are like... confirmed? Because I'm gonna have no money this year if all these games come out this year. Final Fantasy XIII this year... I wish.
 
In red Steel 2 getting new developer What does that mean????
 
the excuse for shotting down the twisted metal game *cough* Thunder Rally *cough*(im sure they were trying to revive this canceled cube title as it was one of the ones along with Raven Blade ,and Retro Football that got canceled to make way for MP) is pretty ridiclous if you ask me. The whole point Nintendo got Retro was to make more American style games. Shiggy gotta realize in order to battle the competition that not every game needs bright happy colors with sickening sweet furry happy characters (not that i mind Nintendo's characters) What's next the cancelation of disaster because *gasp* it has guns.
 
i dont get why nintendo is being to overprotective of things
 
I think I may even break the bank for Mario Kart Wii edition, get good use out of my racing wheel, I loved the Mario Kart 64 one (which I own) so it's either that or Smash Bros.
