After reading about their awesome new mic that they've kept secret for over a year now, I started to think about what they could be hiding right now. The below ideas are insane in their innovativeocity and are probably so crazy that they'll never happen, but that still won't stop me from trying to figure out what else Nintendo has up their sleeves!

Top secret, innovative GC peripheral #2: A "light-gun". Just imagine playing a game where you have to shoot at the tv screen using a gun-like controller, making it feel like you're a real gunman from the wild west or a futuristic bounty hunter from space! The possibilities are endless.

Top secret, innovative GC peripheral #3: A memory card that has a little screen on it, enabling you to play mini-games on it and manage your file saves on the device itself! Genius!

Top secret, innovative GC peripheral #3: A camera that would let you the player become part of the action on the tv screen! How cool would it be if someone were to release a device like that??!


Let's hear what you guys have in mind, too!

Aaaand the innovative Gamecube peripheral that will add longevity to the system's lifespan is.....

*drum roll please*









A MIC!!!!!



......





*awkward, confused golf clap*




....what? It's super innovative!!! Come on guys, it's not like Sony and Microsoft released mics last year or anything like that... or Sega will the Dreamcast in 2000.... and Nintendo themselves with Hey You Pikachu...


*cough*




Just read the stupid news article:

Quote:New Nintendo Peripherals Revealed
Posted by Josh Freund at 11:03:15 AM EST on 8.26.2004.
Nintendo recently updated the Mario Party 6 Game Info in the press portion of its site. In this update, Nintendo revealed a new peripheral for the GameCube, called the GameCube Mic. Some excerpts from the game info:

"Mario Party animals rejoice - Mario Party 6 takes the crowd-pleasing series to the next level with more than 75 all-new mini-games, six fresh game boards and a Nintendo GameCube Mic."

"Included Nintendo GameCube Mic gives gamers the power to play mini-games by issuing voice commands, and lightning-fast movement around the board gives Mario Party 6 a much faster feel than previous games in the series."

Mario Party 6 will be shown at Game Stars Live. Hopefully, the GameCube Mic will be officially revealed there.

Also, on Nintendo's recently released holiday schedule are two games of interest.

1) Get On Da Mic is scheduled for a November release and is being published by XS Games. This had previously been announced for Playstation 2 and Box only. It's a game in which the player has to rap to songs using a microphone and will therefore probably be the first GameCube title to use the GameCube mic. Since it's coming out in November, that means the GameCube Mic will presumably be released sometime in November (or earlier).

2) Get On Da Floor is scheduled for a November release and is being published by XS Games. This had previously been announced for Playstation 2 and Xbox only. It's a game in which the player has to dance to songs, using, presumably a dance pad. Could that be another new GameCube peripheral? We'll see...

We'll have more on these interesting developments as it comes...

So do we all remember this, yet another method of legitimately upping our post counts? All we have to do is create a story that ill almost definitely end up being ridiculous, pointless, painful, and/or disgusting. Everyone who posts must add only a sentence, then let someone else take over before adding more. In this way, we can all add our own twisted bit of genius to the story. Okay, let's begin.

Great Rumbler is walking down the street and finds a GameCube on the ground.

I haven't really payed much attention to it since it was announced, but after watching the three videos IGN has up, this is my most-anticipated handheld title until Minish Cap comes out (not surprisingly, Amazing Mirror is being developed by Flagship, the guys responsible for the Oracle games and Minish Cap). It looks so damn fun, and the art is gorgeous. Really makes me want to do better on my game. :D

Now when are we going to get a proper GC Kirby platformer?

According to GCAdvanced and several gaming mag/site editors at the Gaming-Age forums:

What does Rare, Nintendo, EA, and James Bond have in common?

Not too long ago, it was revealed that EA was working on a Goldeneye title for the Nintendo DS. Since then, nothing has been revealed about the title.

Everyone's dreams has finally come true. GCA has confirmed once-fabled rumors with our close contacts at Electronic Arts:


Goldeneye for the Nintendo DS is being developed and published by Electronic Arts with it being exclusive to Nintendo.


Goldeneye DS is based on the classic multi-million N64 hit.


It will allow multiplayer between 8-16 players at a time, possibly even allowing for wi-fi internet play.


It is unknown if the game is being built from scratch or based on the original engine.

More to report in the next upcoming weeks.

We haven't had a pointless countdown for a long time now, so I figured it was time to start one again, so I'll pick a random number and we can start counting down from there

Stupid Enzyte commercials...

Quote:Rumour 1:
We kick off this rumour report with news on Nintendo's Camp Hyrule online event. The camp turned into a rumour fest when a mystery NOA representative may have accidentally revealed a secret Nintendo DS title...
The following comes from a chat session at Nintendo's Camp Hyrule featruing the Nintendo of America representative:

CHEEBO: Whats your favorite DS game Mysterious?
NOA_MYSTERIOUS: I can't wait until Zelda DS and Smash Brothers DS!
_KIRBY_MASTER_: SMASH BROTHERS DS?
BARK_N-MOO: WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?!?!?!
_KIRBY_MASTER_: NEVER HEARD OF THAT
WINGS19: Is Smash Bros DS in development? o.0
NOA_MYSTERIOUS: I said nothing....
NOA_MYSTERIOUS: : )

We know it is not just a silly prank because only Nintendo of America representatives were able to choose the prefix 'NOA' in their nickname. Let the speculation begin!


Rumour 2:
The second rumour found its origin in an adjusted trademark for the upcoming Nintendo DS chat feature, PictoChat. The change led believe that PictoChat is to feature a web browser. The trademark update reads:
"providing on-line information and news in the field of entertainment; providing online news, hints and other computer/electronic/video game information through a global computer etwork"

This trademark dates from August 9th, which makes it possible even Nintendo didn't plan this option while it showed us the E3 version. Speculate all you want, but we will not believe it until we see it!
