Quartermann: Ratchet sequel, Tecmo Bowl, and a challenger to Mario

If you loved Insomniac Games‘ Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, then you’d be interested in what old pal Quartermann has to say about its next chapter. In the latest EGM issue, the gaming seer also talks about Tecmo Bowl and a possible challenger to Mario’s platform game throne from Disney. We smell a hidden Mickey! All this and more after the jump!

It’s that time of the month once more when stealthy ol’ Quartermann is up to his old tricks, spreading juicy buzz that most of the time hold water in them. Sony PlayStation 3 fans will be excited to hear about his main revelation.

The May issue of EGM sees their stalwart rumor-kindler talking about the sequel to Insomniac Games‘ Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. Quartermann says that the game will be available via a PlayStation Network download and is currently under development.

Also discussed is what could be Disney Studios’ behemoth to come. According to Quartermann, the devs are looking forward to challenging Mario himself with their own platformer. To do this, they’ll need a star as bright as the crimson plumber, and who better to field in than their main man – Mickey Mouse himself.

Lastly, we’re told that Tecmo Bowl is still alive and kicking in its development phase. The classic rendition is still slated for the Nintendo DS, while the Nintendo Wii is still to get the remade version.

That’s certainly a lot to be excited about coming from Q-mann. If his past predictions are to be looked back at, we can safely say that these rumors he just let loose have something going for them. We’ll keep you posted for confirmation.
