Quote:Spaceworld is BACK
According to a Gamespot article that confirms our previously reported Pilotwings story, Nintendo's own annual summer show, Spaceworld, will be returning to Japan this August.
In a bizzare move that had Nintendo cancelling last year's show, this return only doubles up with the Factor 5/Pilotwings story to make for quite the "good news day".
We'll be sure to post additional information as it unfolds. For now, however, the Gamespot article can be viewed here. (wj)

Yay! Although I guess this means that Nintendo is going to be holding back a few things from E3 and save them for Spaceworld... Mario 128, anyone?
I got 2 Points, but I don't understand why(the more points you get the more conservative it says you are) I said I don't think more money should go to aids than to heart disease or cancer because aids effects younger people, I think reasonable amounts of money should be placed into reasearching both of them and that one shouldn't get more than another just because one group of people is affected more
Quote:DOSHA WAS HIT by a car near her owner’s home on April 15. Next, a police officer shot her in the head to put her out of her misery. Then, presumed dead, she was put in a freezer at an animal control center.
Two hours later, when a veterinarian opened the door to the freezer, she was shocked to find Dosha, a 10-month-old of mixed breeding, standing upright in a plastic orange bag — the equivalent of a human body bag.
The police chief in Clearlake, Calif., defended the officer who shot Dosha. Police Chief Bob Chalk says the officer did nothing wrong when he shot the dog in the head last week. He says the dog had been hit by a car and was in pain.
Quote:Nico - ICO 2?
Thanks to Blue Eyes of the Meristation Spanish Forums, we can bring you shots from one of Sony Computer Entertainment's internal development demoes. The screens show a game called Nico, a work that bears a remarkably strong resemblance to the beloved and under-appreciated PlayStation 2 game, ICO. Details are currently frustratingly scarce regarding this right now; this game may, in fact, have no relation to ICO at all. One thing is for certain: it's from the same people that brought us the PS2 adventure. Things will certainly be cleared up at this year's Electronics Entertainment Expo. You know GAF will be there, and you know we'll have the details first. Stay tuned.
Quote:Sales of videogames were up 8% in March over February sales, but without Nintendo's top three games analysts say sales would have been down about 8%. According to NPD numbers the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker sold 826,352 copies during March Nintendo's Pokemon games took the #2 and #3 spots. However, besides Nintendo the industry didn't do so well during March. "We view the March industry software data as disappointing, noting that, excluding the strong software sell-through by Nintendo, industry software sales would have been down 8.3 percent," said J.P. Morgan analyst Dean Gianoukos.
Nintendo's sales during March were estimated to be $105.5 million which is up 168% from last year. $41 million of those sales came solely from the Wind Waker. This was also well ahead of the second most profitable company, Electronic Arts, who earned an estimated $62.3 million.
Console sales in general were up 36% over February, and Game Boy Advance sales were up 32%. Overall, Playstation 2 held a 37.8% market share after March, Xbox was second with 14.7%, and GameCube just behind with 10.7%.
