Currently this is a rumor. IGN is reporting that Nintendo has canceled Project H.A.M.M.E.R. which was high on my wishlist and due to be released this fall.
Project HAMMER was a "hardcore" action game where players control one of Project H.A.M.M.E.R.'s cyborg prototypes: half-man, half-machine, with an extraordinary weapon -- and the power to save the world.
It was playable at last years E3 and everyone who played it really liked it.
The problem is why the game was canceled. According to IGN, Sources claim that the team formerly working on the title is now underway with one or more efforts that fall into the "expanded audience" lineup of games.
IGN Wii has heard separately that Nintendo is actively re-working some traditional games so that they are more accessible by casual players. If it is truly canned, Project H.A.M.M.E.R. may have become a casualty of Wii's newfound success in the mainstream market.
If this is true, Nintendo is abandoning the hardcore gamer completely to focus on titles like Wii Sports and Wii Play.
