oh im totally on the other side to you, im enjoying this generation much more than the n64 days, im not even sure if i can get everything that i want to, on GBA and GCN, this is a very enjoyable time to be a nintendo gamer, if you ignore the internet that is (meaning all hte OMFG TEH DOOMED!11111111? threads/editorials). the n64 at times was boring,
a list of upcoming games for the rest of this year is better than almost the entire generation of the n64.
1) see the thread stickied at the top
2) two playable characters i belive
3) as far as i know, yes its canceled :\
