Actually, it is being developed by Retro Studios with the oversight of Miyamoto. NCP passed it on to an American developer b/c the game never took on in Japan despite catching on like wild fire in the US.
The game will be 3rd person perspective with a optional 1st person view...ala mario 64....not to mention a plethora of other innovations which I cannot reveal....well what the hell....
FYI #1....the FMV running at spaceworld is realtime although no one was officially told that.
FYI #2....a GBA version of Metroid is en route using the GBA/NGC linkup....you create a drone in the GBA game and you can train it...cranking up the AI amongst other skills....and then unleash it into the NGC game via the linkup to help you fight or reach places otherwise out of reach....very very very cool...I was fortunate enough to sneak a peak at actual gameplay during a party @ Retro Studios in Austin while visiting my cousin (ZGT=zombified game tester)
Who knows what else Nintendo has in store for us....
