Could THQ be involved? From Fastest Game News Online: fgnonline.com Codemasters Coming Stateside Industry: UK-based Codemasters is about to announce a US publishing deal, as well as opening an American office. The company famed for the Micro Machines series is to spearhead its US marketing attack with No Fear Mountain Biking for PC and PlayStation and Prince Naseem Boxing for Sony's machine. "The announcement will come within the next two weeks regarding the US publisher," said Richard Eddy, director of Rocket Media, the company's UK PR company. "We wanted to wait till we had a really strong lineup before we opened up the office in the US." Considering that THQ already seems to have a Micro Machines deal with them, maybe they'll be the US publisher... Just my speculation. Also from FNG this morning: Limits To Involvement In Dolphin? Industry: It has been revealed by trade paper Asia Biztech that Nintendo will only allow three other companies to develop software for its esoterically powerful next generation console, Dolphin. The company apparently intends to develop most of the games in house with some work going to second party developers. According to the publication, the gaming giant will actually bar companies outside the three partners from joining its development program. This could be very significant going forward, especially if THQ either is or isn't one of the three comapanies. It would be a coup if they were, but could hurt if they were not. Other then EA, what company has had more success on the N64 then THQ?
