First off, Mario, I can't listen to anything you say, you just seem so negative and ignorant. Get an education and make some friends.

Hello. No really, hi.

I do indeed work for EA. I work at EAX, which is Electronic Arts Blackbox. Located down on waterfront in Vancouver, BC. Have worked on/currently working on FIFA, SSX3, NFS:Underground.

Awesome, SSX3 is like, one of my most wanted games. You rock!

And as for this rumour

"Mario 128 will undergo a name change, and will be a pseudo-3d sidescrolling adventure, with some full 3d bits (think Wario World). Sources put it at release around Christmas in Japan (could Nintendo be at TGS showing it off this year? It's be a first.)"

That would be the best thing that ever happened. There like, what, 22 days until TGS?

Also, i know another rumour. I was talking with Iwata last night on MSN, and he told me Nintendo were getting the Tomb Raider franchise.

Also, Bill Gates rang me up and hinted that Perfect Dark Zero for XBOX was going to be released this year, and Halo 2 is finished, so it could come out anytime.

SSX3 GC is definately kicking ass compared to SSX Tricky GC.  You won't be disapointed.

As for that, I really can't help you out much there in that respect.

As for Rumours, I really want to see more 3rd party games, that means if we could get a FF VII remake, then I'd take it.  The more good non-nintendo developed titles on the system, the better.  Nintendo just doesn't always have enough 1st party titles to carry their system.  Getting as much support as possible will definately help Nintendo's software launch with the N5.  As long time Nintendo fan, I really want to see them succeed in the next generation.

OT note:  Picked up FF tactics advance today.  #*$! it rocks!

As a big fan of snowboarding games, I will be picking up 1080 as well as SSX3.  It's nice to see 3rd parties try and ultimately create great games that consumers will actually buy(a la Namco and you there at EA)  Keep up the good work over there.

[Mario]

Oooooh, cool! I have SSX Tricky on PS2 by the way, i love it to death. And its good to see a Nintendo fan working for EA

Just out of curiousity, do you know anyone who worked on Ty the Tasmanian Tiger? My dad actually did the cut scenes for that.

SSX3 is going to have to be pretty good to get me to buy it over 1080 Avalanche though... actually i might buy both

To the best of my knowledge Ty wasn't developed out here at EAC/EAX so odds are I don't know anyone for the dev team.

As for the quality of SSX3 vs. 1080 I can't really say how the two will stack up seeing as how I haven't played the new 1080 yet.  But hot damn do I love SSX3, I think 1080 is going to be hard pressed to compete with it.  Of course I do have a bit of unfair love for the product so I'm not really the most impartial person to say.  But I guess with SSX3 coming out sooner than later, it shouldn't be too long for everyone to sink their teeth into the game.

On the other hand if 1080 is as much fun as it was back in the 64 days, then maybe things are going to work out.  Though I'm not looking forward to the "health" thing.  That was the only aspect of 1080 that I didn't really enjoy.

Anyhow this is a little off topic.  So I'll can it for now.

I gotta give props to Bill for at trying to spice things up: Where in the Blue hell is TEH LOUIE!!!!! It should be doing this job.

Rumors are fun to speculate, but while speculation doesn't bring you down, a juicy rumor you want be true but then isn't brings your down quicker than tranquilizers...

Oh, and Grey Ninja, a good rule of thumb (I'm sure you learned it by now) is never, EVER by a game just on hype. If it isn't your cup of tea (I believe you went on record saying you don't like FPS,), is the hype going to make it any difference?

Too Human? Where are you? I got a Scooby snack! (Where did THAT come from?)

Oh boy, more 2d Mario rumors.  I personally don't care if the game is 2d-like, I just want the game to be more like Super Mario World.

I must say, I like the sound of that, well, except for the Wario World part. Anyways, I think it would be cool if they equally mixed side scrolling and 3d platforming.

[Molobert]

I like the idea of a 2d Mario too, and the full 3d parts sound interesting. What confuses me is that Miyamoto keeps saying "it's the true sequel to Super Mario 64." Maybe it will be a mix of Super Mario World gameplay and Super Mario 64 gameplay...

[Hybrid Hunter]

I want Too Human to be released for N5, it'll guarantee my sale, along with lots of other people too.
If FF VII does come to GCN i'd be really happy!
Mario 128 i can't wait to see, hope all the hype is worth it.

[Hemmorrhoid]

since it looks (to me) like TOo Human will be the best game ever
it would rock as a N5 launch title

who wouldnt want to buy the best game in the world on a
sparkling new console

[KDR_11k]

People hype Too Human waaaaaaaaaay too much. Hell, it's not the second coming, it's just a game! You'll just be disappointed to find out your messiah is just a mortal like all the others.

[Bill Aurion]

Get the treasonous one!

Haha, just kidding.  Though there's absolutely nothing wrong with hyping a game that has been in development since the early-PS/N64 era
