Here are some highlights from the newest issue of EGM magazine courtesy of GoNintendo:
5- Miyamoto shot down a Retro developed Twisted Metal clone because it had guns on cars
- Red Steel 2 apparently being handed to another developer because it’s not going well. Online co-op and release in 2008 likely.
- Animal Crossing Wii to be a sequel and possibly a MMO.

Whats this Myamoto doesn’t like Twisted Metal nonsense?
And if Red Steel ships with online co-op and VOIP hasn’t been introduced yet.. i predict it wont get much play.
Also.. where’s brawl?
Some insite on the Twisted Metal thing.

- Miyamoto shot down a Retro developed Twisted Metal clone because it had guns on cars
This comment is a bit misleading–initially, when Miyamoto went to Retro to discuss Metroid Prime, they showed off a few of their projects. One of the projects was the twisted metal-like game. Miyamoto said that he didn’t understand it–he had no idea why someone would put guns on cars.
This information was lifted from an interview with Retro, which was posted a bit back, on this site! Again, it sounds sort of misleading, like saying he just shot down a title that’s been in working.”
