that would be a good pack for nutmeg, i was wondering when nintendo would pack in a wavebird, i'm surprised they haven't packed one in for $10 extra over the base $99 price.

Here is more news about the Four Swords disc with a good source. its kinda long but its worth the read, it says that the four swords disc will have 3 game on it.

http://gameonline.jp/news/2003/11/27003.html
The Babelfish Translation (www.babelfish.altavista.com, a rough translation):

From Nintendo Co. "the sword + of legendary four for the game cube to [Japanese characters] which" is sold in February it became clear for three games to be recorded.

One was conveyed so far, while with "[Japanese characters]", GC (the picture of television) operating the link which moves about to GBA, it becomes purpose to gather many rupees than the other prayer.

The game that second is called the "shadow battle", fights with the other prayer intently with one stage. The picture of television has become stage of the fixing which is not the times when the scroll it does, but the place where it can move to GBA side such as Obe house is by all means prepared. Those places and those where the item is used well become secret of victory.

And 3rd as for, that you think whether "[Japanese characters] (stamp rally)" with the person who remembers that the game which is said it is exhibited it is many with E3 of this year, but that game changing "[Japanese characters]" and name, it is recorded.

The game where it receives the tetra- empty challenge to which link appears "the takt for GC in wind", keeps gathering the stamp with the pirate island says. The prayer, on the basis of the map and the tetra- empty hint which have appeared in the picture of television, finds the pirate who in the pirate island is arranged here and there, keeps receiving the stamp from each one as the evidence which was found.

It is victory of the prayer which gathered from the stamp, but it means that also the number and the like of rupees which can pick up midway is related to victory when.

Oooookay then. It's obviously saying that it will be three games - Tetra's Trackers (with the stamp rally and the refernce to tetra and so on), Four Swords (the sword of legendary four ^_^), and "Shadow Battle", which is apparently a battle between two players or something which uses the GBA.

I'll be thinking about picking this up... depending on how good Shadow Battle and Tetra's Trackers turn out.

From the little I could gather from this it's some kind of death match mode which would be cool if this was a 3D game. Seeing as how in the 2D Zelda games you fight by smashing the button as fast as possible this would get old fast. Just to make things clear I'm not trying to diss the 2D Zeldas either. I just think that fighting another Link with no more strategy than bashing each other on the head with a sword as fast as possible would get boring after a couple of times. Of course this probably plays completely different than I'm picturing it.

I've heard a rumor the new games will be about Link buying 4 swords, and the Tetra tries to track down and eat Links appendix... WITH KETCHUP!!!

Ok, none of thats true.

HANSOLO · « **Reply #79 on:** November 30, 2003, 12:52:44 AM »

yeah so true

anyway....i have heard this disappointing rumour of the Rogue Squadren series going to the xbox......they said the quality of the graphics will be downgraded (well of course) but the textures will be sharper?

?

the company Factor 5 said they wanted a bigger profit and the game will be on xbox in the middle of 2004.....i have a feeling that this is very true, but i dont think it will sell good because of xbox's quality in games and graphics, sound etc.....and also when released their will be (for the first time) the full starwars collection on DVD

i want an answer guys (either technical or just a sentence) so just telll me
thanx

RareWare · « **Reply #80 on:** November 30, 2003, 03:06:45 AM »

I've heard that too sadly, Factor 5 is calling it the RebelX project. It's set to coincide with the release of the Original Star Wars Trilogy in mid 2004. It's been all over IGN and a couple of DVD review sites. I have to say that does suck.

Jayman450 · « **Reply #81 on:** December 01, 2003, 02:15:03 AM »

Well not to sure if this has been posted somewhere else on the forum but I haven't seen it. Please direct me to the thread if it has (I'm sure you will anyway).

Anyway. Over at www.gamesindustry.biz there is a few rumours about nintendo. One seems totaly stupid stating that Nintendo actually owns the right to the name "Playstation" and are going to sue Sony. WTF???

And another that would be cool if it was true, is that "Nintendo is set to buy Sega and Capcom and that both companies will be working exclusively on the GameCube as a result".

Facts - None
True - Doubtfull

Just thought I'd post it and see what other people have to say.

You will probably be able to use more than just your sword, which could add some long distance strategy as well...

Well I wish Nintendo buy Capcom, but I like Namco just a tiny bit more nowdays.

My urge to remove your spleen is tempered by the fact that you didn't use the 'M' word.

Golden Eye 2 may be GC exclusive. Nintendo owns rights to Golden Eye.

Odin · « **Reply #88 on:** March 23, 2004, 11:50:28 AM »

They own the rights to the N64 Goldeneye... not "Goldeneye 2" (Which will be an entirely different game).

Through Game Designer Studios... we will get another Final Fantasy....... eventually. (Hopefully... it will be a single player RPG)

mouse_clicker · « **Reply #89 on:** March 23, 2004, 12:05:46 PM »

Correct if I'm wrong, but I don't think Game Designers' Studio is necessary anymore. It was created to allow Square to release a game on the Gamecube since Sony owned a lot of Square's stock, but since Enix and Square have merged I don't think GDS is needed.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #90 on:** March 23, 2004, 01:43:56 PM »

I'm sure Square-Enix will still use the GDS logo, though if they use their own logo as well isn't known yet...

I'm pretty sure you can't any more. I think the mods made that word and emoticon that shows up ridiculously. Same with the name used to bash cell shaded Zelda.

The thing about Nintendo owning the name "Playstation" is pretty valid, but it will never come to pass.

Essentially, between the SNES -> N64 era, Nintendo wanted a CD system. Long story short, they partnered with Phillips, it fell through, so they partnered with Sony. They had the basic system created. It would interface with the SNES and was not a stand alone system. Essentially would have been like an add-on to allow for CD games. But there were some disputes between Nintendo and Sony over profits and trademarks and royalties and licensing, and Nintendo essentially told Sony to piss off. Sony, furious over the fact that they had lost good R&D time and money spent on a new system, essentially took the prototype - codenamed "Playstation" - added a RISC processor and some ram, and made what you know it as today. Nintendo then went back to Phillips, but the deal fell through again, and that's when Nintendo started it's famous "CD is teh laem" campaign.

However, there are still some very real legal disputes over the entire affair. It always COULD happen, but it won't, because it's just so frivolous and stupid that no one would really hold it up in a court of law.

My facts might be a little rusty, but I wrote a huge article about this some years back for a gaming site.

The undisputable fact, fundamentally, is that the Playstation could NOT have existed without Nintendo.

Chongman · « **Reply #96 on:** March 24, 2004, 05:08:42 PM »

Do I smell IRONY? Yup, it's about done.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #97 on:** March 24, 2004, 07:47:07 PM »

I'd say it's logical that Nintendo rejected the SNES CD after seeing what happened to the Sega CD...

The Omen · « **Reply #98 on:** March 25, 2004, 12:05:41 AM »

If the example is Sega, games wouldn't exist in any form. They've just about given every format a bad name.

I just read about Microsofts new Development program called XNA... and one of its partners is Factor 5! That Sucks! Im sorry but as a Nintendo fan, that really really sucks.... It pretty much confirms Factor 5 Development on the X box... Nintendo doesnt know a good thing when they see it!
