E3 2001: The Moment to Shine

What will Nintendo have on the show floor?

by the NWR Staff - May 11, 2001, 7:29 pm EDT

The menu! What's going to be playable? I guess the main question is...what's ready?

On The E3 Show Floor:

I believe Nintendo will have only 10-16 GameCube titles playable. This number seems a little low, but after taking into consideration Nintendo’s strict policy on quality, unless the game looks polished, it probably won’t be shown. As far as the GBA, there’s going to be a TON of GBA games on display. You could even put me on record as saying, “There will be a buttload of GBA for yo’ ass at E3 2001”. Here’s my list of the Nintendo love:

GameCube playable titles:

Mario/Luigi

Metroid

Wave Race

Pokemon Title

Rogue Squadron 2

Madden 2001

Eternal Darkness

Turok 4

Smash Bros. 2

Zelda

Dino Planet / Star Fox Adventures

Sonic Adventure

Killer Instinct 3

Crazy Taxi

Resident Evil Title

Monkey Ball

SSX

Virtua Striker 4

Resident Evil


Most of the above titles aren’t too surprising. I think there’s going to be a zinger or two added that we don’t know about, or aren’t expecting. There always is. Nintendo always has a way of keeping a lot under the radar. But the above list is a well rounded GameCube line up for E3. It’s really hard to say what could actually be shown, or playable for that matter. I’m sure we’ll also see a couple titles on video that are still to early in development. If it doesn’t look really good, it’s not going to be shown. Nintendo will hold true to their quality standards. Especially when the stakes are as high as they are now.

Game Boy Advance:

Super Mario Advance

Army Men Advance

Chu Chu Rocket

Earthworm Jim

Donkey Kong Country Title

Fire Pro Wrestling

Fortress

F-Zero: Maximum Velocity

GT Advance: Championship Racing

High Heat Major League Baseball 2002

Iridion – 3D –

Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure

Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2

Super Dodgeball Advance

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2

Top Gear GT Championship

Mega Man Battle Extreme

Sonic the Hedgehog Advance

E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial

Lego Bionicle: Tales of the Tohunga

F-14 Tomcat

Dark Arena

Mario Kart Advance

Ecks vs. Sever

4x4 Off-Roaders

Bomberman Tournament

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon

Final Fight Advance

Fire Emblem: Maiden of the Dark

Golf Master

Konami Krazy Racers

Mr. Driller 2

Pacman Fever

Pinobee: Wings of Adventure

Spider Man: Mysterios Menace

SpongeBob Squarepants

Stuart Little- GBA

Super Street Fighter 2

Survivor GBA

Tactics Ogre Gaiden: The Knight of Lodis

Tweety and the Magical Jewel

Wario Land 4

X-Men: Reign of Apocalypse

Alone in the Dark

Earthbound Advance

Yoshi’s Island/Yoshi’s Story

Super Smash Bros. GBA

Zelda Advance


I think this list is even too short. Game Boy Advance will have a much bigger line up due to the fact that the hardware has been done for much longer than GameCube, and their development kits have been in the hands of developers for more than a year. This list could actually be light. There will be many link up options on display to demonstrate the GBA’s awesome multiplayer capabilities.
