Nintendo News | Zoonami Readies for DS Development

By Adam Riley 28.07.2006 13

Over on Zoonami's official website, the company has revealed that it is searching for a Senior Programmer to work on Nintendo DS projects. Previously the developer, which includes GoldenEye veteran and ex-Rare member Martin Hollis, was linked with Nintendo on 'the project formerly known as Game Zero', so maybe it could be this, although 'TPFKA Game Zero' could well still be in development for the Nintendo Wii, having been moved across from the GameCube.

Below is the full job listing:

    Well it had better be good after all that 'incubation'.

    It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

    I want to know how they've survived so long without any income.

    Or something like "Jimmy Neutron 2: Darth Sidious' Cameo-nic Revenge"

    Or not Smilie

    I don't think I've heard of them...

    Topic round up know one cares and the game will be shite

    They're supposed to be quite a talented bunch of people collected from companies such as Rare, but they have nothing out yet, but I'm not judging them until we've seen something from them. I think they'll end up bringing Game Zero out on Wii and it'll be somewhat of a surprise hit. Their website still seems to suggest it could be some kind of spy game...

    I was wondering the same thing. Nintendo subsidisation?
