Geist - Nintendo's FPS To Watch?

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to N-Sider's in-depth coverage of the forthcoming Gamecube FPS, Geist. This title was shown at E3, but the article goes into a lot more detail than most about the game, which is being co-developed by N-Space and Nintendo. Geist is described as "..a hybrid title that combines the fast-paced action and perspective of a traditional first person shooter with stealth-based game play and a unique new mechanic: the ability to 'possess' other characters in the game." Perhaps not unique, since Shiny's Messiah did something similar, but with competitive-looking graphics and multiple ways around problems ("while watching people play the demo, I noticed no one person played it the same"), it's possible that some of the developer's earlier titles may be improved upon.

See, but you never played Mary-Kate & Ashley: Magical Mystery Mall (2000), it's actually a very bloody first person shooter, sort of like Postal. As I recall, they got in a lot of trouble for that one, so the sequel was more what you'd expect from the title.

I remember the one scene quite vividly, "I'll see you in Hell, Mary-Kate." "I'm Ashley!!!" blam, blam, blam!!

Well, actually I never played it, but that was the gist of it I got from glancing toward the cover briefly once while I was at the mall. Maybe I was just having a psychotic episode...

Title?
