Quote:The folks at Infogrames have sent us more info about Ultimate Battle 22. This game is for the original Playstation (but will play on PS2's). They sent us a cool trailer that you can check out. The video clip shows Dabura, the Great Saiyaman, Goten & more.

Here's some notes from Chris Lundeen, a Producer for Infogrames:

"Started looking through Ultimate Battle 22 today. For an eight year old title it doesn't look too bad. The graphics looked better than previous DBZ titles on the PSX. The fighting seemed to have a decent pace as well, comparatively. I would definitely consider this title a pick-up for DBZ fans and gamers not already into the extremely complex fighting games. I liked the fact that I could play as Majin Buu and Super Buu. Modes of play include a 1p vs. com, 1p vs. 2p, championship, build up, and build up battle. Championship is pretty self-explanatory. You and up to eight others can play in a tournament style match. The 2 versus modes are just straight up fighting. Build up mode is looking really interesting."

And guess what!! It's toonshaded!! That's amazing, because NOBODY makes toonshaded rpgs!!

I can't go back any further then 1993; still, a decade...how does anyone else's list compare? I only lack a 1999.

This is shaping up to look fucking incredible. Can't wait for movies.

On a side note, doesn't really look like bump-mapping. But that'sok. Still looks lubbly. :)

Quote:REDMOND, Wash.--April 4, 2003--Riding the crest of three hit product launches, Nintendo of America Inc. currently claims the best selling console game, the best selling portable games, and the best selling hardware system in America.

Since coming to market within a week of each other in late March, The Legend of Zelda®: The Wind Waker™ for Nintendo GameCube™, Pokemon® Ruby Version and Pokemon® Sapphire Version for Game Boy® Advance, and the new flip-top, front-lit Game Boy® Advance SP portable system have leaped to the top of their respective sales charts.

The new Zelda game set a Nintendo record with more than 600,000 copies pre-sold to consumers before its March 24 launch date, and retailers now are quickly burning through the entire initial North American shipment of 1.1 million games. In the same period, sales rates for Nintendo GameCube hardware have jumped 20 percent.

With more than 4.4 million copies of Pokemon already shipped in Japan, more than 2.2 million games have now moved through to North American retailers, showing conclusively Pokemon is back with an exclamation point. The companion Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire titles have dominated portable software since their launch on March 17.

Finally, 800,000 Game Boy Advance SP units have blown through to North American retail, matching equally raucous receptions in Japan and Europe.

"While no one will know the champion of this season's college basketball tournament until next week, the winner of this spring's video game tournament is Nintendo," says Peter MacDougall, executive vice president, sales and marketing, Nintendo of America Inc. "Game Boy Advance SP, Zelda and Pokemon represent a three point play that players and retailers dream about."

"At what is traditionally a slow time of the year for video games, Nintendo has seized the sales initiative," says Richard Simone, video game buyer, Toys "R" Us. "With their blockbuster products Game Boy Advance SP, The Legend of Zelda and Pokemon, they're a big part of why video games are one of the truly bright spots at retail."

As the worldwide leader and innovator in the creation of interactive entertainment, Nintendo Co., Ltd. of Kyoto, Japan, manufactures and markets hardware and software for its popular home video game systems. The systems include Game Boy®, Nintendo® 64, Game Boy Advance and Nintendo GameCube. Since the release of its first home video game system in 1983, Nintendo has sold more than 1.6 billion video games worldwide, creating enduring industry icons such as Mario™ and Donkey Kong® and launching such franchises as Zelda™ and Pokemon®. As a wholly owned subsidiary, Nintendo of America Inc., based in Redmond, Wash., serves as headquarters for Nintendo's operations in the Western Hemisphere.

Bah. And just when I was starting to really like them (and I'll resume my really liking them after their GBA Zelda is shown):

Quote:Capcom Rethinks GCN Exclusivity

Resident Evil series to go multiplatform again, says Nikkei Business Daily.

April 03, 2003 - An article in the Nikkei Business Daily Friday stated that Capcom Entertainment is "loosening its ties with Nintendo" due to disappointing growth of the console on a global level. The trade also reported that Capcom would -- after Resident Evil 4 -- release future "survival horror" titles for multiple platforms instead of keeping them exclusive to GameCube.
Capcom also has recently come to the conclusion that it should be supplying more games for other consoles, according to Nikkei Business Daily.

The news isn't exactly breaking. Capcom previously announced that it would release Resident Evil Online for PlayStation 2, so it was assumed that the franchise would be available for other consoles in the future.

More as it becomes available.
