Even aftertalking to the famed tipster Surfer Girl, we still don’t know what to make of her. We do know that she says a lot of things that we like to hear, and on Christmas she said that theMother/Earthboundseries will come to the US, possibly sometime next year.
Listed as #2 in herDecember twenty-fifth things, SG says that the title will hit either the Nintendo Wii or DS, which makes total sense asMother is a Nintendo series.
Among other rumors/tips, we see that Team Ico is supposedly working on a couple more titles, and one is likened toEchochrome. Also, she says thatKane & Lynch 2is still happening.
We’ve heard rumors thatEarthboundis US bound for so long now that it’s hard to believe anymore, so for now we’ll stay positive and look to the lyrics ofEarthbound‘s “Pollyana – I Believe in You” as a source of hope.
I believe the morning sun is always going to shine again, and
I believe a pot of gold waits at every rainbow’s end
I believe in roses kissed with dew
Why shouldn’t I believe the same in you?
Hit the jump for the rest of Surfer Girl’s predictions.
1)SSX 5is dead, rivalry between fall 2008 PS360 snowboarding titles of Montreal studios still existent.2) TheMother/Earthboundseries is coming to Wii and/or DS stateside, very possibly next year.3) Team Ico is working on two titles (maybe three), one major and the other(s) smaller. The smaller one(s) is/are more like Echochrome and does/do not take place inside the Ico canon.4)Kane & Lynch 2is still happening.5) Also to look forward to next year is “Shrek going to unprecedented video game territory.” Using skills of deduction, it is either a music title or a quality title. It is fairly obvious that the latter is definite no, so it probably a musical title.6) Even more exciting unprecedented occurrence in interactive entertainment is the release of a newLeisure Suit Larrytitle and a newSex & the Citytitles in the same year for mobile communication tools, computing devices and other things.7) A2M is working onIndiana Jonesfor people who cannot stand to play consoles with the number three in the name–DS/Wii/PS2/PSP.8) EA’s Wii Balance Board title ain’t SSX.9)Cyclomiteis absolutely amazing.10)When isRagecoming out?Second half of 2009.
