Since Darwinia talked about Michael Moore and how he's "liberal"
why not mention Henry Rollins?

thoughts?

No comment.

Someone entered a new Zelda title into gamefaqs called "The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap", and it used to be here but quickly dissapeared. Usually I'd brush it off as just some kid entering a false name into gamefaqs, but Craig from IGN had this to say about it:

Quote:I think someone jumped the gun entering that into the database. I can't talk about that particular title since we're embargoed until the day of the press conference.

But Nfloser's a bright one. Yes he is.

-- Craig

Quote:It would follow the recent Zelda naming convention of making the subtitle the name of an important item in the game. I'd predict the Minish Cap is a hat that Link can wear to shrink himself down in size. You know, deminish.

Or Minish could be the name of a character who created/once owned the Cap, like Majora's Mask.

Speculation is fun.

Man, those crazy ign guys have been teasing the hell out of us for weeks now, indicating that there is going to be something huge from Nintendo at E3. Here's a small sample of their recent posts at the boards:

Quote:I attended last year's conference -- and I think you can tell how much I liked it by the face I was making in that infamous photo Matt put in the article back then...

I might not be able to go to the conference this year (too much setup work to do in the E3 hall), but I'm really pumped about this one.

The variety of titles is great (who would have thought that we'd see both Fire Emblem and Advance Wars on GameCube?) and the "little" surprises Nintendo has in store are going to rock. Saying anything more would ruin the surprise -- but take it from me, you WILL be happy. So expect some brighter looking faces this time around.

Oh, and the DS lineup made that confusing piece of hardware jump way higher in my wishlist.

Can't wait till next week so we can finally talk about these new games...

IGN Has Secret; Double Pinky Swore Not to Tell

In a startling turn of events, IGN announced that they know of a major secret but they will not, in fact, tell anyone about it. "I know something you don't know, nanny nanny boo boo, stick your head in doo doo," said Matt Casamassina, Editor-in-Chief of IGNcube.

"Nintendo informed us of a bombshell that will definately excite readers," Fran Mirabella III, Editor-in-Chief of IGN Insider, explained, "But we're not going to tell you about it."

"We just wanted you to be aware that we are super cool friends with Nintendo and you don't even, like, go to their birthday parties or anything."

Don Donaldson, Editor-in-Chief of IGN Custodial Engineering, told Nintendorks that, "I don't know what these bastards eat, but I wish they'd stop exploding it out of their asses. I thought I worked in an office building, not a horse stable."

Quote:Nintendo's mysterious Dual Screen system seems to be getting more widespread support and praise than even Sony's PSP system. As of now, more than 100 software companies around the world have received development kits for the DS, and are planning games for it, if not already developing them. Big names like THQ, Electronic Arts, Activision, Atari, Ubisoft, Majesco, Capcom, Sega, Konami, Hudson Soft, Namco, Bandai, Koei and Square Enix are all planning to back up Nintendo's "third pillar."

"The Nintendo Dual Screen is something that we're really excited about developing for," said Nick Earl, VP and General Manager at Electronic Arts. "It's very innovative, which is classic Nintendo."

"Nintendo DS is going to push hand-held technology to uncharted territories," said Yves Blehaut, senior VP at Atari. "It's going to energize both developers and consumers with amazing new game mechanics and new game design. Once more, Nintendo leads the way with something unexpected and totally innovative."

You'd expect Nintendo to be spouting PR praise like this, but these are third party companies, who don't have to say anything good about the system if they don't want to. George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior VP of marketing and corporate communications, had this to say: "It's exciting to see so many publishers are as inspired about the Nintendo DS as we are. The creative contributions of the publishers will reinforce Nintendo's reputation as the industry's leader in innovation."

Nintendo's Dual Screen system will be officially revealed next week at E3, and is currently on track for release before the end of the year.

Well, that sure sucked ass... wait until lunch period when it's 100 degrees outside to have a bomb threat. I was among the few smart people who took my lunch outside and ate it. The police came and searched every classroom and every bookbag, turning off the @#%$ AC in the process... so I'm frying up right here, at my computer, the bomb threat finally being over... the guilty person was some student named Mohammed Jafar Kareem Abdul Ja--okay, not really... now, if you'll excuse me, I have a much-deserved Sunkist to chug down.

Yup, it's a D&D RTS just announced... by Liquid Entertainment, makers of the pretty good RTS Battle Realms. But, it's not that simple...

New D&D world. Yup, after canning all of the D&D worlds except the Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance (I don't even know them all... the only ones I can think of are Mysteria, Planescape, Al-Quadim, Dark Sun, Ravenloft... bah, I know there are more... anyway, they were all ditched by the time 3rd edition came out...). It's called Eberon... read the article. Very interesting.

Oh, and look at the art! Really, really nice... though we don't see any ingame graphics. I'm sure it'll be 3d but IMO it'd look best with a high-res 2d look like Disciples.

A bit of Mexican history for you all... in 1862, French troops under Napoleon III were sent to Mexico to force the Mexicans to pay off their debt to France. The French army was powerful at the time (no, France hasn't always been the World War II France we all know today) and the odds of the Mexicans winning was slim. But they did, on this day in 1862. This is NOT Mexico's Independence Day!

So, because of this minor military victory, we all have a reason go out, party, get drunk, and TP each other's houses! Whose should we go for first? ABF sound good? :evilha:

As insane as this idea sounds, if it's true it could be very awesome. Motion sensors added to a portable with two screens, one a touchpad... the possibilities seem endless. The cooking game could be extremely innovative if nothing else, something Nintendo seems very eager to achieve. I'm all for innovation and changing the way games are played, and if Nintendo can pull all of this off then I think we're in for a real treat.

Looks like IGN has been dishing out alot of crap ratings for Nintendo games lately. I think Mario Kart only got a 7 something, same as Pokemon Colleseum, and Custom Robo just got a 6.4 from them. I wonder what Famitsu has been giving these games just for comparison.

I was kind of looking forward to Custom Robo. The N64 games were great. Anyone know what Famitsu gave this game ?

It does bring up an issue of concern as to what the hell Nintendo is doing at their development studios. Then again, IGN completely over rated some games, like Windwaker, which I thought was totally weak in comparison with Majora's Mask and the Oracle games.
