A rumored games list.

Desmond Gaban has updated his page with a new feature...a game list. You may want to see what he thinks is coming to the N2000. And so far...it is better than mine by a long shot. Hey Desmond...want to do my game list? Heh! E-mail me! This is what he's got so far...Makes you want to drool doesn't it?

RUMORED N200X GAMES

These games are ALL rumored. NONE are official. Obviously these come from various sources. This is NOT a list of speculation. I will not be adding names of games that people just e-mail me about, unless they can meritly prove that it's in development. SOME of these games may be hoaxes, but that is why this is a rumored games list.

N2000 spec rumors!

Monday's can be good and bad. This is good. Magic Box has some good rumors floating around Japan on the Specs of the N2000.

Rumor: Some info about the Nintendo 2001 (the next Nintendo console) are circulating in Japan, the new system is said to use a custom 128-bit CPU running at 400 MHz, and it will use the Rumbus RDRAM; custom DVD ROM as the media, each DVD will have a 1.5G capacity, rumble pak will become a standard built-in feature in the new controllers, and it will have built-in modem, and internet software from Netscape, Alps will be packaged along with the system.

The Arkansas legislature (figures) is considering an anti-games bill that could affect state arcades in a bad way.

Something to mull over your cheerios with. All I have to say is that this is the most disturbing thing in America that I have ever heard in my life, since people blaming murders on music. Thanks to FGN.

Arkansas State Legislature is considering a new bill outlawing the freedom to "knowingly allow public exhibition of games." Representatives of the industry have come to the defense of arcades across the state, complaining the bill is aimed at the their industry. The proposed bill is in response to last year's horrific shootings in Jonosboro by two teenage boys. Operators in the state may compromise by stickering violent-orientated games as opposed to placing them in age-specific areas.

Nothing, Zilch.

Jeez...what a slow news weekend. There really hasn't been squat! I will be working a lot on the structure with this page. Besides obvious reasons (like...um...no news) I haven't had a whole lot of time lately to update. One news point...OperatioN2000 has been updated. Check it out :).

So what did Billy really think?

Well I am sure you have seen a quite a bit of Dreamcast coverage, but I finally had a chance to play with a Dreamcast first hand. So was I impressed? Sort of. It's funny. I remember the first time I played Mario 64 at a Blockbuster a while before the N64 was released. I just about soiled myself. Between the controller, the systems power, and the game, I was absolutely astounded. Plus I knew I was going to purchase the system. The Dreamcast has interested me in a way. I like Sonic, and most of the Sega arcade titles would make any video game freak interested in this system.. I was even thinking of importing one of these puppies (especially since the price has dropped considerably). Now that I have actually been able to play these games would I do it? No. And here is why....

Who's confirmed already for N2000 development?

The fine men over at OperatioN2000 have been rather busy. Seems to be a complete update. Also check out their Forum. Very nice! Also, Desmond has some sweet info about developers...

Rumors, rumors, rumors...

Rumors. With this system there seems to be a lot of them. But this one is one of the better ones that I have heard as of yet. Desmond Gaban (former N64hq'er) has a site that lists a great rumor from a supposed friend of a friend of a....well you know. Factor 5 ring a bell at all?

Second party news!

Ya ask for news...well here it is. IGN actually has two N2000 stories today. Not only do we learn that Koby Bryant's creators Left Field will be official second party developers for Nintendo of America, but The big M speaks to IGN64 at the Game Developers Conference.

As with Nintendo 64, legendary game-designer Shigeru Miyamoto is directly involved with the company's new millennium hardware. He spoke to us about the subject at last week's Game Developers Conference in San Jose.

Big I tells ya...BIG!

If you are a Star Wars fan! Lucas Arts will be releasing screen shots of their new Star Ware Episode 1 game for the N64 (tentatively called Pod Racer). Plus they will be talking about the upcoming games to be released across the consoles. Could something be said about the N2000? We can only hope. The N64 game is supposed to hit store shelves in late May or early June.

Yeah baby. Shiggy speaks!

Okay, okay! Nintendo put up the "official" transcript of Miyamoto's Keynote Speech up on their site. Thanks FGN.
