Is anyone else here extremely irritated at the fact that GameCube has 2 slots for memory cards, yet most games (that I've played, at least, including Metroid Prime) only read from Slot A? What's the point of even having 2 when you're just going to have to switch them anyway?
I'm fearful for the future, because I see times of great despair coming. Saddam Hussein needs to be disarmed, and it's not Bush's fault, but I think this is going to all come to a head when the nuclear nations and Iraq start bombing and getting bombed in a fireyl maelstrom, and I think this in an unavoidable sequence of events that will cause loss of life/land/sanity on a scale none of us can imagine.
Nintendo has confimred today the offical US release of Mario Golf for the GameCube: July 28th. Along with this announcement Nintendo also confirmed our previous story that F-Zero and Wario World have been delayed.
We will have more on Mario Golf in the near future. (jm)
Well, IGN has pictures of WW's box art, and I must say they certainly have a nack for posting frickin' old yet irrelevent news sometimes. Seriously, who hasn't seen the box art in some display across the land? Eh, anyway, they seem to have a "wireless" gaming section there now. What happened to handheld? They just converted it to Game Boy only, and now when they have something to add to it, they give it it's own section. It's like giving Tiger electronic games their own section.
Anyway, as we all know, the cover is gold. The only news is the disk is gold, but in the worst way possible. They just made the color for the ink on the disk gold (the black area at the bottom is now gold, I guess that's kinda like doing something...). Nuts, this disk isn't different at all.
I picked up the game a few days ago at Circuit City for only $24, and so far I can safely say that's it a lot better than the previous game. The level design is better, the music is better, and it's longer and more challenging. I still don't think like it as much as the Genesis/Sega CD Sonic games, but if developer Dimps continues to improve the series with each installment we may have something as good as Sonic Team's efforts very soon.
New to the game is the character Cream, who is quite possibly the lamest video game character I've ever seen. She's even lamer than Amy (who unfortunately has returned for this sequel), but she does have some cool abilities so it's alright.
This is definitely the best original platformer for the GBA, so you guys should buy it while it's so cheap at CC. If only Nintendo would make some original GBA Mario games.
