Nintendo has been working on a true sequel to Mario 64 (called Mario 128...imagine that) for close to 3 years now. Rumor is, is that Mario Sunshine was originally suppose to be for the ill-fated 64DD added for the N64, but was retooled as a GameCube game when they realized the 64DD was toast.
Miyamoto said back in E3 that they were ready to show some clips of the game in action, but backlash from showing Zelda early taught Nintendo to not show anything until they were ready.
Anyways, most of the hardcore Nintendo fans at Rare left the company to form their own, which are still making Nintendo games. Of course being at work right now, the name eludes me.
Last week Nintendo announced that in the spring they will show a totally new type of gaming, that will surprise alot of people. Many thought it would be the GC2, or a new GBA.
Resident Evil 0 - 4 is locked on to Nintendos machine. Spinoffs (see PS2) are not.
You can find the excellent RE0 for around $20, a steal. On another note, go find Eternal Darkness, especially if you hate the way RE is setup. Personally I didnt like RE because of the controls, but ED just owns me.
What I am wondering is, who owns the license to the DragonLance world? I was always curious why no one has created a game in that universe.
(Well, newer game, I do remember all the old asstasic DragonLance RPG's of the 80s:)
I played this game at GenCon. As a huge RPG fan, especially PC RPGs (beaten all the BGs, IWDs, Fallouts and Torment), this game owns. I played it for about an hour, and it looks to be a great RPG. I cant wait.
Well, I dont know. Mario Sunshine got a huge amount of flak cause people said it was way to hard. Then Nintendo makes Zelda easier, and they still get shit for it. Cant please everyone I suppose.
I just finished this awesome game, and I'm praying for a sequel. Even though the sales wernt that great, I hope that there is enough of a fan base to warrent a new game in this great universe.
Yeah that Mario game sure made me (and my friends) sick. So sick that I played it for around 50 hours, and it made my friends so pathetically sick that they purchased the console after playing it at my house.
The only time my PS2 is used is when a decent RPG comes out, otherwise its all GameCube for me. There is around a dozen games that Im waiting for for my GC, and around 2 or 3 for my PS2.
About your statement regarding Nintendos primary target to be children, well they pretty much say time and time again that they create games for all ages to enjoy, where as they have others (Silicon Knights, Capcom, etc) create the games that are specifically for adults. Personally I tend to pick up the Nintendo created games more often than not, which is what most GC owners seem to do.
And whats kiddie to you? The graphics? The gameplay? The title? Is Mario, Zelda, Metroid kiddie games? Do kids want to play them? Yes. Are they fun as hell? Yes.
Instead of worrying about whether or not a game you are playing is kiddie, maybe you should grow up and try playing it for fun

Want to bet this is it?
Haha, your awesome. Just reading this brings back some major memeries.
It may not be 'news', but I still enjoyed the article. I remember playing this game for hours on end when I was young. Ahh, nostalga.
Dead Phoenix is suspected of being remade as to be a Kid Icarus game, in the same vein that Rares Dinosaur Planet became Star Fox Adventures.
With the deals you can find today (free gb player) you will not be disappointed

Yeah, Nintendo, start making games targeted at this guy: all flash and no fun, GO NINTENDO YOU CAN DO IT

I hate you.
I can use an app (adaware) to get rid of spyware, any app that lets me get rid of a lawsuit?

Hey hey hey, dont be dissing Harvest Moon
Im so looking forward to it
Yeah, its too bad they are marketing Eternal Darkness (a kickass game IMO), and Resident Evil to 8 year olds
...
Ive read in various places that Nintendo has $6 Billion in its war chest.
They are doing pretty good thanks to the GBA.
Hey, Ill be at GenCon and I will make sure to stop by and check out what you have to offer.
Maybe this is one of the reasons that the GBA is such a successful system.
Gameplay and story over graphics. Fun, without all the flash, yum.
Alright, I love RPGS, but whats with this new love for card based RPGs? Are they really selling that well? Or is it just a passing fad.
Enquiring minds want to know.
