w00t!

Well if you need it....here it is. Fly this bad boy...for the first time! May the force whoop ass!

To access the sleek fighter, type in HALIFAX? as your Passcode, select Enter Code, then type in !YNGWIE!. Select Enter Code again, and you'll have full access to the Naboo Starfighter. If for some strange reason you'd like to disable this code, type in HALIFAX? then enter in any word you'd like as your second Passcode.

Thanks to FGN for the good words. Are they goods words? Oooh...Superman 2000? Yea.

Titus is developing games for Nintendo Dolphin, PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast according to the publisher’s website.

We will see a preview soon. Ahhhhh...Zelda fans everywhere are happy! Space world is going to be very big this year. If anyone wants to road trip let me know. (kidding) But of course, the big question is, will this be when Nintendo will unveil more about the Next Generation Nintendo console? This is what Magic Box has to say:

Nintendo of Japan has released officially details for the upcoming Nintendo SpaceWorld '99. The show will be held between August 27 - 29, at Chiba Pref. Makuhari Messe new pavilion exhibition place, free of charge. They will be showing approximately 40 new titles for Nintendo 64, including Donkey Kong 64, Zelda 64 Gaiden, Super Mario RPG2, Kirby 64. As well as about 30 Gameboy Color titles and a number of 64DD titles, including Pocket Monster Gold & Silver, Giant's Doshin 1 and Mario Artist. Two tournaments will be held at the show, they are Pocket Monster League Nintendo Cup '99 Final and Nintendo All Stars Smash Brothers Rally.

Mommy, stop them!

The saga continues. IGN64 has the biz.

At a press event held in Tokyo, Japan today, Square figureheads met members of the media and commented on games, the industry and -- somewhat surprisingly -- Nintendo's next-generation console. Company president Tomoyuki Takechi began his press address by speaking on the system, saying only that he was very excited about the games industry in general, especially after the announcement of Nintendo's Dolphin at last May's Electronics Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles. Takechi seemed purposefully vague when speaking of the console and made no further comments regarding it.

Insider tips!

Nintendojo has the word on Matsushita's stocks selling like hotcakes. Check it:

Shares of Matsushita, maker of the Panasonic, National, Technics and Quasar brands soared as much as 400 yen to a 12-month high of 2,820 and closed the morning session at 2,800 yen, a gain of 380.

Morgan Stanley added Matsushita to its list of recommended stocks on expectations the company will benefit from its advanced position in making digital consumer electronics that can be linked in a network. The Osaka-based company in May agreed to cooperate with world No. 2 home video game maker Nintendo Co. to develop products using data storage technology pioneered by Matsushita.

Rock!

Okay so it isn't Dolphin related, but this is freakin' amazing! Friday is going to ROCK if you are a Star Wars fan who happens to own Rogue Squadron for N64 or PC for that matter. Thanks Nintendojo.

Nintendo and LucasArts has announced a unique opportunity to gamers, available Friday, July 16th. Nintendo will release a cheat code for "Star Wars: Rogue Squadron" that will enable the Naboo starfighter to be piloted by players. The code will be available on Nintendo's web site, as well as in the next issue of Nintendo Power. Here is how LucasArts describes the vehicle:

WE all WANT that GAME.

Just thinking Metroid can make some people salivate. Myself included :) Rick from OperatioN2000 has added Ultra Metroid to the "Dream Games" section. Damn this game (if and when it happens) would be S W E E T to say the least!

Not only that folks, but the mailbag has been updated, but they picked a winner for the design a console contest, as well as introduced a new contest...Which should Nintendo Develop First?

To everyone!

I just wanted to thank everybody out there who has helped this site get to the level it has. Over the weekend this site broke 20K and I was very impressed. Not to say other sites out there aren't kicking my little ass around, but I was happy! My rankings over at Hitbox went from 450-ish to 219 over the weekend as well. Amazing since like 6 months ago this site was like 2000 something. I absolutely filled my "oops I crapped my pants!" I'd like to thank all who have linked me, as well as Dolphin Cove, Nintendorks, and OperatioN2000 for linking the N64HQ reunion. The people out there really seemed to enjoy it! I had a lot of fun putting it together. If you haven't seen it yet....trot on over here! So enough of the sappy junk...thanks all!!!

So I guess a tuna joke wouldn't be wise about now.... huh?

Nintendo has officially dropped the "Dolphin" name. Well that was pretty quick! Magic Box has the official word. Nintendo got real creative.

Nintendo has dropped the name "Dolphin" for their next console system, now they will be referring the new system to the "Next Generation Nintendo" system.

Heh.

Very nice to have a full update. And this one is quite a dooz if you ask me. Back in Minneapolis unpacking. I took a large break today and sunk my ass back into the net. If I miss anything here please let me know. Anyhoo, it's good to be back for a while. Now if I could only hook my damn N64 up. I think I know what I am going to do for the rest of the evening :)
