Quote:Q: Will you show GameCube online games or LAN network games at E3 this year?
Shigeru Miyamoto: I can't really say a whole lot about E3 right now, but Nintendo is still at a point where we don't currently see online games as a business model being successful so I don't think you can expect to see any serious look at online games [for GameCube] at E3.
I do think that the communication aspect of networking and linking games together, including LAN games, is definitely very interesting, and we're going to look at ways to show that off at E3. Particularly linking the Game Boy Advance and the GameCube and linking four GBAs together.
Q: What about linking GameCubes together?
Shigeru Miyamoto: Unfortunately I can't say anything today [laughs].
Idiots... at least he didn't completely rule out LAN games, which leaves room for IPX Spoofers like Gamespy's one for Halo on X-Box...
