A Nintendo spokesperson today confirmed to IGNcube that it has partnered with UK development studio Zoonami to make a project for GameCube. No further details were revealed.

Zoonami, piloted by Martin Hollis, who was not only project leader for Perfect Dark and GoldenEye 007 but ex-head of software at Rare, has long been in development with a top-secret new project for an undisclosed next-generation console. The title, with science-fiction elements, has been tentatively dubbed Game Zero.

With obvious ties to Nintendo, it has always been suspected that Martin Hollis and team would be working on a Nintendo game, but it's always refreshing to have an official confirmation.

More details on Game Zero are expected at the 2003 Electronics Entertainment Expo, which kicks off this May in Los Angeles, California.

Well, now we know why Rare was gotten rid of--no one could fill this guy's shoes!

We're expecting a FPS then?

This guy did KI and Goldeneye and arguably Perfect Dark. Not that anything can be taken away from Goldeneye, but it's not exactly implying that his shoes weren't filled within two days after he started working at Nintendo.

I'd suspect FPS.

I hope it's not an FPS. I hope it's something...you know. Really awesome and original that doesn't rely on gimmicks
