More Game Names?

by Michael Cole - May 31, 2001, 9:59 pm EDT

The Younger Plumber was bored at school today and worked to uncover several registered domain names that may be Nintendo projects. Another PGC exclusive! (Don't ya just love us?)

Just before E3, Nintendo’s site posted a list of games supposedly to be showcased at E3. The list quickly disappeared but not before we got a copy of it. We’ve now been able to further confirm some of the names mentioned in the list, through URLs registered, apparently by Nintendo.

I know we reported a few, but Nintendo's been busy. Here are some

of the more amusing ones no one seems to have noticed yet. I

tried some of these a week or two ago and got nothing, BTW....

DOSHINTHEGIANT goes to: NoFatMan

PERFECTDARKZERO goes to: Commacomcom.com

LUIGISMANSION goes to: Luchi Luchini (located in Italy)

PIKMIN goes to: StrictlyStatues (even if this is real, it is

funny)

BANJOKAZOOIEGRUNTYSREVENGE goes to Gamesome Supply (It doesn't

work, just registered, but the name is so long!!!!)

GRUNTYSREVENGE goes to HugMyRoot (This one doesn't work either)

BANJO-THREEIE goes to EFlapjack (don't tell me they're considering

this as the name!!!)

DIDDYKONGPILOT goes to WhirlAGigOfTime (If that ain't Rare, what

is?!)

STARFOXADVENTURES goes to The Inevitable Fun Zone

GAMEBOYMUSIC goes to Nintendo of America!!!! (although it isn't up

at all)

KILLERINSTINCT3 is registered.... that's all you need to know

MEOWTHSPARTY is also registered generically

And since we never really ran Tendo Box's story...

MARIOSUNSHINE.COM, MARIOSUNSHINE.NET and MARIOSUNSHINE.ORG are registered to Nintendo of America Inc.

Similarly, 100MARIOS.COM, 100MARIOS.NET and 100MARIOS.ORG are also all registered to Nintendo of America.

You can tell I was really bored during one of my periods at school. ;-) Take what you will from this lovely list. Discovering similar URLS was very much the way Metroid’s Prime’s name was confirmed, on PGC no less! If nothing more, it is amusing.
