Sure it is a rumor, but it is something Nintendo would do. Too bad, though. My expectations were that they were going to get their big 3 out the door in 2007, while focusing on some new IP's-Project HAMMER and Disaster Day of Crisis- in 2008.

The only way I will forgive Nintendo for this is if they tell me the new Zelda is coming out late 2008 and show me a kick ass trailer. Otherwise, SHAME on you Nintendo. I may have to side with those that say you are abandoning the core. Prove me wrong, leave us Disaster.

 I predict no new Zelda till the next Nintendo console.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

This is LATE APRIL FOOLS DAY!

 This is new. That was an April fool's joke, also IGN says people within the development group are telling them so it sounds pretty legitimate.

Very odd...maybe they are changing the title, heh.

I'd have to disagree. With TP just came out on the console, it's possible for another title to be made.

LOL, pretty much what I was going to say... maybe to something like:

"M-09 (FKA Project H.A.M.M.E.R.)
Release – Second Quarter 2008

Project H.A.M.M.E.R. is now officially titled M-09. The game seemed to be fairly far along in development and featured a number of playable areas. Other than the title change and release date, most of what you need to know about this game is already available. It plays as previously described, and the various levels I played were all within a major metropolis. The variety of each level comes only in how unique each city area can be from the previous one."

Hmmm... time to get the rumour mill running again? Take the core of the existing game, put it into a different type of game, rename it (etc..).

Games get canceled all the time no matter where they are in development. It's generally better just not to release a game rather than to release a bad game that isn't going to make any money.

The game could have been pretty far in development, so far that it would be hard to change it, and the external producers may have just decided the game isn't fun and isn't worth the money to fix. If that's the case, I'm glad it got canned.

All that being said though, I'm still going to run with this is just a rumor until I hear something official. I really didn't have any feelings either way about this game but I generally always take rumors with a huge grain of salt unless I'm very sure about the source.

Also, TP was supposed to be on the GC.

Or maybe the developers figured out that they couldn't fit the game on a dvd-9 disc. I guess we have several theories here, huh?  heh...

Actually, Nintendo doesn't cancell games all to often. Usually when they do it's one that was more of an idea and never got past the alpha. Most for the Gamecube were lost due to Microsoft lbuying Rare or were lost between the Wii Gamecube shift.These are the only cancelled games for the cube that were due to shift in development or a lose of a 2nd party

  • Mario 128
  • Marionette
  • Stage Debut
  • Raven Blade
  • Too Human
  • Kirby tilt n' tumble
  • Nintendo Pennant Chase BaseballNintendo Pennant Chase Baseball
  • NFL Retro Football

Only Pennant Chase Baseball and Stage Debut were actually far ahead. Pennant due to constanit push backs and Stage Debut for unknown reason(ideas were caried over for it). It's doubt full H.A.M.M.E.R. will be banned on the spot. It's rare that that happens. If it is, it would recive major delays that would eventually kill it.

Ehh I'll wait until July 11th if there is nothing about it at E3 I'll assume its the truth until then its a Diablo 3 to me.
