Get one of the Trophies that represents something from Perfect Dark in Super Smash Bros. Melée; like the Proximity Mine, and when you go to view that Trophy close-up, all you get in the Game Title box is the words: "TOP SECRET".

Now as we all know, Rare have been brought by Microsoft, along with the Perfect Dark liscence, meaning we will NOT be seeing Perfect Dark Zero (or whatever it'll be called) on any-other format besides the X-Box.

What I am wondering is whether or not Nintendo are upto something 'Top Secret' themselves, like possibly designing a game that is very-similar to Perfect Dark, using the same items and stuff.
Otherwise... why else would they mention these PD items without mentioning the game name itself when they do have Donkey Kong Country under the trophies of Diddy and Dixie Kong, and the others...

So then, could Nintendo be secretly developing their own rendition of Perfect Dark in their very-first proper First Person Shooter*??
Or is there some other logical explanation?



*I do not see Metroid Prime as an FPS but more of a First Person Adventure. And anyway, that's being developed by Retro Studios rather than Nintendo directly themselves.

Well I suppose Perfect Dark Zero was planned for GameCube in the distant future, but then Microsoft 'yoinked' Rare, but at Smash Bros release this wasn't the case.

I can't wait to see the next NGC magazine, they printed about 4 pages of ideas for Perfect Dark Zero in the last issue and now its Microsofts, its kind of ironic.

i assumed that it was a play on the idea the carrington institute WAS top secret, not because nintend was making another game. that idea sounds a bit farfetched to me

Maybe, but you can bet it will not be similar to Perfect Dark.

Despite what Whitestripes said, nothing is set in stone stopping Nintendo developing another FPS to be released after Metroid.

Actually Retro Studios is a first party, so Metroid is being made by Nintendo.

And no, Nintendo won't make a similar game.
