[E3] Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow

The Pre-E3 Storm is well and truly in high gear with less than two weeks to go until the big event. The current hot topics concerning Nintendo that are floating around the Internet are of companies flying the coop, long-awaited games coming out of thin air, Nintendos next pieces of hardware, and a whole host of new Nintendo games.

Now then, starting with all those developer relations that have recently hit the fan, we first had Factor 5 announcing that theyre developing for Sony and Microsoft in addition to Nintendo, and then we got news of a split between Nintendo and second party Silicon Knights, and finally that small tidbit that got released about the possibility of Nintendo working with Kuju on an as-yet un-named game.

Its all very exciting and you can bet that at E3, N-Sider will badger and annoy any individual from each respective company to get as many juicy pieces of information as possible to you readers. We promise well get to the bottom of each story, find out the games (if any) in development, and well try and glean any information we can about each companys future aspirations. There have been conspiracy theories on our forums about the truthfulness of the Silicon Knights announcement, and you can bet that well do our damnedest to find out once and for all if that Silicon Knights rumour is indeed true.

For two years, weve been looking forward to the game being developed by a team of ex-Rare employees who worked on the legendary Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark on the Nintendo 64. We heard that they were working closely with Nintendo, and we thought it would be a GameCube exclusive, but we were in for a shock. That team is Zoonami and most of us logically expected an enormous FPS in the same mould as the two N64 classics. Instead Zoonami shocked us with the recent announcement that it is working on a multiplayer rhythm-action title called Funkydilla and that it would be developed for multiple consoles. E3 will hopefully reveal more to us.
