Quote:Game Summary

Tetra, the leader of the pirates, has put forth a challenge: Link must race his way through various settings, collecting stamps from Tetra’s pirate cohorts. To rise to the challenge, he will have to use all his exploration and navigation skills. Accepting this hefty task, players search for pirates placed strategically around Pirate Island and receive a stamp from each one as proof that they actually found them. Pirates must be found in the correct order, so players rely upon map information and hints provided by Tetra through the fabled Pirate’s Charm. Up to four players compete to see how many stamps they can collect before time runs out.

Okay? Nintendo's press conference has already started.

Uh-oh, Nintendo finally has some serious competition coming:

Yup, the new improved GeForceFX is going to be $500. Wow. Sure its improved -- the article says that its a LOT quiter running than the loud and underwhelming FX 5800, and is faster in many categories... but uhh... don't most top of the line videocards usually cost $400 when new?

Anyway, its nice to see NVidia fixing the problems they made with the poor 5800.

So Weltall. E3 stuff starts tomorrow.

Going to fix the site, or will you say that you can't since its somone else's fault? But this is a new problem... and SO INCREDIBLY ANNOYING!

Uhh... we all love the ezboard? Anyone with me?

:evil:

Sorry, couldn't find any of the old threads. So I'll make a new one. :)

Quote:he company comments on the current status of its GameCube games and whether or not they're exclusive.

At its pre-E3 press conference, Capcom addressed some questions about five of its games (P.N. 03, Dead Phoenix, Resident Evil 4, Killer 7, and Viewtiful Joe) that have been released or are in development for the GameCube. P.N. 03 and Resident Evil 4 will remain exclusive to the GameCube. While Killer 7 and Viewtiful Joe are still scheduled for release on the GameCube, Capcom representatives would not call them exclusive to the system. Lastly, as for the status of Dead Phoenix, the game has apparently not been canceled. Capcom representatives simply stated that there is nothing new to show on the game.

Video of Resident Evil 4 will be shown at both Nintendo's and Capcom's booth.

I grabbed these from the gaming-age forums:






















Wow, this looks great! I'm very curious to see how you control three people at once.

What an awesome title!

Quote:French site NEWTECHNIX.com is reporting that they've gotten the inside scoop on some secret Sega projects that will be at this year's Electronics Entertainment Expo.

First up is a third installment in Amusement Vision's Super Monkey Ball series, called Super Monkey Ball Banana Crazy. According to NEWTECHNIX, Banana Crazy will put an emphasis on multiplayer gaming, with LAN compatibility possibly in the works. In development for the GameCube, Amusement Vision will apparently take advantage of the hardware by implementing a much smoother graphics engine. Sega will publish Super Monkey Ball Banana Crazy early in 2004.

Also potentially existence is Knight 'n Knight, an RPG based off of the original Sega Saturn title. Whether it's a sequel, a remake, or something else, NEWTECHNIX.com isn't certain, but they claim it's in the works at OverWorks, the studio that brought us Skies of Arcadia. The developers will use some of the concepts they created for SoA for this new game. When it will come out, or what system it will even come out on, is a complete mystery at this point.

We'll have news on either or both titles should they show up, so grab a cold one and stick around.
