Quote:9 - Depending upon the number of players the play mechanics change. If you have the possibility to play with friends, you should absolutely buy it. The game is great compared with all other GameCube games.

8 - It looks at first like a further action game of roles, but it feels new. The longer one plays, the more fun one has.In the multi-player mode the degree of difficulty and play mechanics change.

7 - In the single player mode I feel isolation and repetitions, but in the multi-player mode the fun doubles itself. Guest characters can unfortunately return no articles. It depends on if you have friends with you whether the play makes fun for you.

8 - It is good that another player can join the play at any time. However the action is weak. It is worth it much to be played. In order to have fun, one needs a friend, who is experienced with video games. It gives more action elements than first expected.

So celebrate the one group of people who have had the biggest effect on civilization, the inventors! For truly, politics come and go, but inventions survive from one civilization to the next!

I submit the fellow who invented those rubber thingies at the bottom of some stuff you set on... things... It's nice to support stuff like one's computer on those instead of on the metal which might cause scratchies.

Talking about DK64 with made me think about the registration dates that we have under our avatars. I came to this place just a few weeks after it was created (back when it was the official Nintendojo board) and I thought that it was in August or September of 1999, but I could have sworn that I was in Croatia when I first joined the board, which would mean that the real birthday of TC was around August or September of 1998. Dk 64 came out in November 1999, and I'm pretty certain that I was at TC for more than just a few months before that game came out. Do I have my dates completely screwed up or did TC really come about in 1998? I think it's 1999, but so many things don't make any sense.

Quote:Masahiro Sakurai is the creator of Kirby and also the director of the Smash Brothers series and he has now left Nintendo's first party developers HAL Laboratory.

It was first announced in Famitsu Weekly where Sakurai-San stated that he resigned out of his own free will. Other reports suggests he felt unable to create the games he would like at Nintendo.

For the time being he will be doing freelance work. Although Kirby will stay under the control of HAL Laboratory Sakurai-San stated he is unsure about the Smash Bros. series.

"I needed a dummy character to represent what the real character would be doing in the game," he stated in a recent interview. "I just put a Kirby-shaped blob in my presentation as a place-holder, but everyone liked it so much we decided to keep it in the game without any major changes." He also spoke about the colour of Kirby. "Mr. Miyamoto, on the other hand, envisioned Kirby as yellow. Since Kirby's first game was on Game Boy, no one knew what Kirby's true colour was unless we told them."

Nintendo have yet to comment on the matter but may do so at Thursday's conference.

Quote:Square Enix announced Front Mission First for PSone, a remake of the original Front Mission for Super Famicom. Front Mission First will be based on the WonderSwan remake version, with improved graphics and new scenarios not found in the original.

Quote:RUMOR: After releasing Front Mission 1st, Square Enix will release a remake of Seiken Densetsu 3 (Secret of Mana 2) and Final Fantasy III for PSone, both games were never released in North America.

But only GBA games.

Quote:Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge was revealed a long time ago, but once Microsoft took over Rare things got a little hairy. Good news for Nintendo fans that still want some Rare games. Some time ago we passed along to you that Rareware would be using THQ to release its GBA games that are in development. This turns out to be correct as EBGames now lists Banjo-Kazooie for GBA with THQ as the publisher. The release date is September 15th, 2003. We also told you before that Rare changed Diddy King Pilot into Banjo Pilot, so we'll watch for that and other Rare GBA titles.

Quote:Nintendo reports that in the 1st business quarter of the year (April to June) 3.24 million Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Advance SP units were sold, quite a large number compared to the only 800,000 Gamecube units sold in that same period. At the end of the business year in March Nintendo reported a 37% decline in net profit, but with higher profit in the 1st business quarter at 11.45 billion yen ($95 million) their 15 billion yen goal for the first half of the year was met. Overall sales are up 5% from the same period last year. As far as operating profit, only 21% of their 35 billion yen goal for the first half has been achieved. "Although we are keeping our full-year forecast unchanged, we think we can expect upside potential," said Yoshihiro Mori, Nintendo's Senior Managing Director.

Nintendo also said that the low reported sales of the GameCube are because that number represents orders from retailers, and many retailers still have a large inventory left over from last year. Analysts predict the number of GameCubes in inventory at somewhere between 5 and 6 million units. Because if this high number Nintendo has temporarily haulted the manufacturing of the GameCube, but plans to resume as usual in the fall.

Nintendo plans to have a news conference on Thursday in which President Satoru Iwata will discuss the business strategy of the company. I think one business analyst spoke for us all when he said, "We want to hear something new and specific from Nintendo on Thursday to tackle rivalry with Sony."

These always fall apart but still
If you answer right then you get to make a new question, if nobody answers right within 24 hours then the answer is revealed but the person who asked the question and they ask a new one
So here's the first question

Quote:Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow will be released for the PS2, Xbox, Gamecube and PC. The game is scheculed to hit the shops sometime in the first few months of 2004, with a simultaneous release on all formats.

Quote:Nintendo of Europe is threatening legal action against retailers that import popular GBA titles like Advance Wars 2 and Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. They say steps to prevent importing led to the Pokémon games selling over half a million units across Europe last weekend. Nintendo has issued cease and desist letters to retailers selling import copies of Advance Wars 2, which hasn't been released in Europe yet.

"If importing is left alone it could spiral out of control and harm sales," said Nintendo UK general manager Andy Williams. "As well as having a knock-on effect on the European launch, it harms legitimate sales for retailers who are abiding by the rules."
