Nintendo - Warp Piped, Retro Collected

Posted by simoniker on Sunday October 26, 2003 @08:01AM from the must-have-calendar dept.

Thanks to the Warp Pipe Project for their announcement that they've released a Windows alpha of their GameCube tunnelling software, which allows previously LAN-only games such as Kirby Air Ride and the forthcoming Mario Kart: Double Dash to be played over the Internet. The site will post the Linux alpha soon, but warns that all versions of the utility are unoptimized: "Be advised that half frame rate was attained by two people with a fairly good connection and not much in between." Elsewhere, Nintendo are ramping up the Japanese version of Club Nintendo with exclusive merchandise for frequent game buyers, detailed at IGN Cube, and including exclusive T-shirts, posters, and soundtracks, but not yet the amazing-looking Famicom/NES 20th Anniversary calendar recently acquired at Nokonoko.net.

How about this: It's Nintendo's damn calendar, they'll put whatever they want into it. If they want to include a couple of new titles alongside all the classic NES stuff, then that's what they'll do. It IS a promotional giveaway, so guess what, it promotes.
The real mystery is why you idiots have your panties all bunched up about it.
