OPN2000! Yay!

Yup, it's true, I am officially on the staff of OperatioN2000. There's your big news. Maybe not so big for you, but I am happy. I'd like to thank Justin and the rest of the fellahs for letting me be a part of their site (thanks for the link too!). It should be pretty damn cool. What will happen to this site? Nada. I'm keeping it up and running for as long as I want to. It's a complete and totally different site than OperatioN2000. And once the Internic gets their heads out of their asses and I can get my own domain, expect (and hope for) big things from this site. What my responsibilities over at OperatioN2000 will include haven't been completely layed out as of yet. So far my editorial ONline 2000 has been added to their site, and I will be featured in an upcoming mailbag sometime this week. This all should be pretty damn cool.

Billy has a nice ramble before going to bed.

Today was a very interesting day. Good and bad. Bad thing...no N2000 news. No domain information (blah). And butt-munch over at the "official HQ" still is playing with himself. Heh! But I digress. Anyhoo...I did pick up Smash Bros. . Sweet ass game. I haven't had a whole lot of time to play with it, but what I did play, I loved. Another Nintendo masterpiece if you ask me. A definite purchase if you are a hardcore Nintendo freak like myself. I wouldn't even waste your time renting. For the love of god you get Samus on the N64! I am that serious about this game (sorry Justin...buy it!). I may even do a review if I have time (not that you couldn't get one somewhere else). I will say one thing though...tomorrow I will possibly have some really big news for you. B I G. That is all I have to say right now. But it's BIG I tell you....(what I wanted to tell you today, but I would rather wait until it's official)

Surprising? Nah.

Surprised? I am not at all. Especially after dropping another $50 to Nintendo for Smash Bros. today :) FGN reports:

Nintendo estimates it will report a 20 percent increase in profits to 155 billion yen for the fiscal '98 year, company sources have told the Nihon Keizai Shimbun. If the 14 billion yen gain generated by a change in corporate tax rules isn't excluded, the video games giant would have amassed a 10 percent rise in earnings. The strong performance was attributed to brisk sales of video game software in Japan and North America. Revenues also rose by seven percent to 570 billion yen, with Zelda 64 selling seven million units and the Pocket Monsters series for Game Boy achieving sales of a massive 15 million copies.

Who's this Mikey Veroni fellah?

Famous words from Mikey Veroni! Oh boy, even Metroid news on a Monday? Yup. I don't know when this was written, but I dug up a really cool story about the next generation of Metroid for you Metroid lovers at Nintendojo.

And Mario gets in the ring...

I think you have to see this to believe it. The rebroadcast of the Super Smash Bros. match from Las Vegas is being rebroadcast here. 17 minutes long! Hey, at least it will hold you over until Smash Bros. hits stores tomorrow. Who won the fight? You'll have to check it out for yourself. You will need Real Player G3.

SEE! I am working!

You gotta be kidding? No, I wouldn't lie to you. I have been busy. ONline 2000 is what is called. I hope you enjoy!

Who me? Never!

Answer = NO! At least not as much as the guy over at the "official hq" Ha ha! Actually I've been damn busy. Today could actually be a really good day in the N2000 community, and I may some big news later today. I am still waiting on the internic to see if I got the domain I applied for. If all goes well I am hoping to be online with it in a few days. There hasn't been any news or major updates to any Nintendo 2000 sources that I have found lately. Rather quiet out there. Too quiet. Hopefully today will be the big day. Then again...it is monday.

mmmmmm.....Goldeneye + N2000. ::drool::

This may be a rumor, but Nintendojo has a little blurb about Eidos. Can you smell goldeneye-ish things on the N2000? I think you could...

Eidos has signed upstart company Free Radical Design to a development deal. Free Radical was formed earlier this year by former members of the team that created the blockbuster Goldeneye 007 for the N64. Rumor has it that Eidos might have their eyes set on N64 or N2000 development

A bit more of this can be found on IGN64:

Are you ready?

Hee Hee....your world is about to change. Hopefully by friday. Life is good when you have a new planet coming :)

Well, not "we" persay. The N2000

Have any ideas on a N2000 logo? Well then go on over to OperatioN2000. They have completely updated their site, and want to know what logo you think the Big "N" should use.

OK, so while people may have never agreed fully on the name of the next Nintendo system we did finally have a winner and that was the Ultra Nintendo Entertainment System (UNES) / Nintendo Ultra. Of course this name narrowly edged out the other two hopefuls the Nintendo Millenium and the Nintendo X. With that close margin in mind we move on to the next round of system design with a more open perspective.
