I'm quite surprised, personally. John Carmack, of all people. Next we'll be getting Gabe Newell or Cliffy B

Though i wonder what exactly they'll come up with

EDIT: GameRace beat me to the punch, i see. Check the story on the Gaming forum.

Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

*Shocked*

I'm not very hyped, although I'm curious as to what a technological mastermind like him can achieve on the Wii. If anything, I'd rather have him develop a Wii engine and then sell it to the incompetent 3rd parties...

"I actually spend far more time playing Wii with my four year-old boy than I do with any other game console."

lol!
I wouldn't get to happy after hearing him say that. Sounds like Let's Tap 2 to me.
Nintendo Wii is still a kid system to him.

John Carmack has programmed id's graphical engines since the 80's. Famous for games such as:

Commander Keen
Wolfenstien 3D
Doom
Quake

and all of their sequels. He is considered somewhat of a semi-god among gamecoders.

Drop the "semi" and the rest is completely correct. If he calls something good then it's good; if he says it's a pile of shit then it's a pile of shit.

Doom and quake party games confirmed.

I am afraid this is going to be like a Kojima thing where we get excited over a name and get some lame casual throw away game.
