Rumor: Space Station Tycoon cancelled
The mill is at it again, churning out a rather chunky rumor that Namco Bandai's Space Station Tycoon has gotten the axe. According to IGN, best case scenario has the title receiving a severe delay, but not cancellation. It should be noted, however, that there has been no official comment from Namco Bandai.The reason for all of this speculation? Wahoo Games, the developers behind the title, are apparently having a tough time with the Wii hardware and have run into several technical problems. Now, before everyone jumps in saying "the Wii is not two GameCubes duct taped together," keep in mind that we don't know what these technical difficulties are, should they even exist.

While not a true sequel to the Xbox Live Arcade launch title, Namco Bandai have announced Space Station Tycoon for the Nintendo Wii; a follow-up to NinjaBee's Outpost Kaloki X. This will be the first title that has gone from a console specific, download initiative and turned into a full-fledged retail product.In an interview with IGN, players from both Namco Bandai and Wahoo Studios (the house of NinjaBee) talk at length in bringing their intergalactic management sim to the Wii. Aside from a bevy of tweaks and improvements to the core of the game, Space Station Tycoon will feature customizable space stations, co-operative play and will be entirely playable with only the Wii remote.The developers also make it clear that Space Station Tycoon does not utilize any content from Outpost Kaloki. Still, it does look mighty familiar. Space Station Tycoon is currently scheduled for a Summer 2007 release.
