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!

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.

We need access to Yatta in this new forum!

Linky, someone post a linky!

The Freeloader is shipping!!

Quote:Now Shipping! At long last!
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.

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.

In addition, the Super Mario™ Sunshine Bundle Pak, which includes a copy of the Super Mario™ Sunshine game, Nintendo GameCube system and Memory Card 59, which was previously $189.95, will be priced at $159.95.

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 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.

This is a special one, because, as the thread title states, this is a game of my own creation... sorta.

I like the 2.7 billion polys per second figure. Hahahaha! I'm sure this guy just copied the GameCube specs form the Ultimate GameCube FAQ and bumped the numbers a bunch.

It's that time of the year again, kids!

Last E3 we all knew what to expect from Nintendo, but this year Nintendo hasn't announced any major fall/winter titles, so I expect a lot of surprises. As Fran said in a recent Insider mailbag, what has the Luigi's Mansion team been up to? What about the Wind Waker team? The Mario Sunshine team? Here's what I expect to find:

-Pikmin 2. This has been hinted at for so long and I just know that Nintendo will show it at this year's E3. possibility: 80%

-Mario Kart. FMV of this game was shown eons ago at Spaceworld, so I expect to hear and see something about it at E3. It could also be Nintendo's big online title, if they're smart enough to do something about it. possibility: 80%

-Animal Crossing 2/Online. The game has already been confirmed, and all Nintendo needs to do to make it a huge seller is add an online mode and make a few enhancements. possibility: 80%

-New Factor 5 game. I hope they don't wait until E3 to show it, but whatever the case is I'm sure we'll hear about it by then. What will it be? Rogue Leader 2? I'm sure it'll be Star Wars something.possibility: 99%

-Too Human/New Silicon Knights game. Rumor has it that Too Human has been scrapped in favor of another project, but I sincerely hope that's not true. ED didn't sell very well but it would probably be easy to make a sequel to it, so perhaps we'll get another one. I'm hoping for either Too Human or an original title. possibility: 70%

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen: Finally Legal!! "You know you want this game! From the creators of BMX XXX comes a new kind of Olsen Twins game, and we can do whatever we want to now that they're of legal age. This is gonna be off tha' hook!!" possibility: 0.00%
