O al menos eso puede interpretarse de una lista de empleo que ha sido colocada en su sitio web, en la que solicita un programador para trabajar en esta consola de próxima generación de Nintendo. El equipo detrás de este proyecto es el mismo de Crash Tag Team Racing y será un juego de acción con vista en tercera persona. Una cita dentro de la ficha de trabajo suena interesante: “cuyo nombre esta destinado a ser sinónimo de calidad en la industria de los videojuegos” (¿?). Este es el texto completo de la solicitud:

Como ya han de saber, Radical Entertainment tiene buenos desarrollos entre sus historial, como The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, The Simpsons: Hit & Run, y muy posiblemente, Scarface, que no ha salido a la venta todavía. Así que es muy posible que cualquiera que sea el juego en el que se encuentre trabajando para el Nintendo Revolution, sea divertido y con una calidad aceptable.
