I just got mine in the mail today. Master Quest is pretty cool. It's exactly the same as OoT except the dungeon puzzles are different which makes it a bit more challenging because I don't know exactly what to do everytime. It also has some cool preview videos but, unfortunately, nothing from Capcom. The F-Zero video is awesome.
Quote:In `Tornado Alley', you take control of one of the most powerful forces that Mother Nature can throw at us, a Tornado, and guide it to do as much damage as possible, without running out of wind power.
To keep your twister alive you'll need to follow the contours of the landscape, watching for thermals and building up the power of your cyclone with the right balance of warm and cold air. Cars and trailers can even be picked up to give ammunition to the vortex, to be churned around inside before being spat out with huge destructive force.
There are no other games like this, and hence there are no comparisons to be made. Unfortunately there was no movie released for this game. We do have some artwork of the game though!
I think developers are running out of good ideas for games...
Just curious, but did anybody figure out what it says? No, don't guess- I want correct spelling! I'll give you a hint, the letters are not one of the 3 Japanese character sets. First one with correct spelling gets something cool.

Datel's Freeloader disc is the first product released that claims to allow all-region GameCube compatibility with absolutely no internal hardware modifications. Just put the Freeloader disc in, let the system boot it up, and then switch out with your favorite game.
PAL software running on US or JPN hardware will reportedly run at 50Hz, rather than the NTSC standard of 60Hz.
There are three methods for playing import software:
1- Direct boot of Freeloader from power up, remove Freeloader, insert import 2- Power up Gamecube, drop Freeloader, select Gameplay option, insert import 3- Direct boot Freeloader, press Z button to select region of import, insert import
Datel has acknowledged a problem with PAL GC consoles playing the USA version of Resident Evil Zero, but there is no word on a fix or workaround. This the only game at this time reported to have issues.
It looks like the days of installing a switch in your GameCube to play imports are long gone.
Good news for everyone who plans to import and doesn't want to spend a lot of money getting a foreign GC. Maybe I'll get Doshin now...
Quote:REDMOND, Wash.--Feb. 6, 2003--Beginning February 9, some of the best video games of the current Nintendo generation will be more affordable than ever.
With the purchase of a Nintendo GameCube™ system, at a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $149.95, Nintendo of America Inc. is offering consumers their choice of one of the following hit games for free -- Metroid® Prime (2002 Game of the Year*), Star Fox® Adventures, Mario Party® 4 or Capcom's Resident Evil® 0 -- at participating retailers.

Finally, continuing its prestigious "Player's Choice" program, the MSRP for Luigi's Mansion™, Pikmin™, Super Smash Bros.® Melee, and other classic Nintendo GameCube titles, originally priced at $49.95, will drop to $29.95.
"These three offers are about giving players what they want -- great entertainment at a great value," says George Harrison, senior vice president, marketing and corporate communications, Nintendo of America Inc. "For less than $150, players will find a world of quality only available with Nintendo."
This should do some good for sales of GC, but it really should have been implemted for last year's holiday season. Those are some really good deals, though.
This annoying memory brought to you by Vanilla Ice, TMNT2: Secret of the Ooze, and Fox. Why Fox? Because on Saturday Fox will being airing the brand new TMNT cartoon! YAY! The original creators are behind this new effort, so hopefully it will be good. If they used the original song, I would cry for joy. Well, maybe not quite.
It's on right after Pokémon here, so I won't even have scheduling conflicts! But remember, check your local listings for times in your area and all that blah blah blah.
Now, discuss the greatness of the Heroes in a Halfshell and the hope that since Konami is making the new TMNT games they will be as good as the originals.
