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
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.
Awesome. I'm worried how it'll play on the DS, but it's still really great news. I just hope it's not a straight port since I played the original more than any other game during my four years in Croatia (and it didn't even come out until more than two years into living there). But if it has wi-fi online support, I don't care if it's the same exact game.
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
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!
Yeah yeah, I know it's Cube-Europe and that means that most things they post as NEWS turn out to be baseless rumors and all their actual RUMORS have a 99.9% chance of being completely false, but I'm going to post it anyway and let you decide wether or not there's any validity to them.
