We don't mean trip over the console either, we're of course referring to 3D0 founder, Trip Hawkins!

3DO is definitely going to develop for Dolphin, yet they don't have Development kits yet. IGN64 has the stuff...

3DO's founder and CEO Trip Hawkins told IGN64 today that the company will "absolutely" develop software for Nintendo's next-generation console, codenamed Dolphin. However, gamers expecting a graphically intense take on the Army Men franchise for the console may have a long wait in store for them as no production work has begun yet.

"Nintendo has said that it is going to start supplying [Dolphin] development systems to us in a few months," said Hawkins. "Right now we're thinking about it pretty actively in terms of what we've like to do, but we haven't got the development systems yet."

Believe it or not, the Nintendo 64 is three years old today!

Well maybe you were one of the many who got their N64 on the 26th! Can you believe the N64 is 3 years old? Crazy man....crazy. So take you N64 out to Dinner and buy it a few drinks. It deserves it.

Some interesting information on S3 graphics compression, which will be used for the Dolphin.

Special thanks to Gary Moore for the story. The fine folks over at Gaming Age got the goods about Nintendo working with S3 on graphics compression. Check it.

Nintendo and S3 Incorporated today announced a partnership to employ S3's industry-leading graphics technology on Nintendo's next home video game console, code-named 'Dolphin.'

Dolphin is the first home video game console in the world to embed S3's advanced texture compression technology right onto the graphics chip. The results will include elimination of blurriness, blockiness and monotonous repetition of the same elements on screen. Furthermore, S3 will help to make indistinguishable the lines that separate art from photography, fantasy from reality.

Fast...really fast. Well, the download might not be, but the game is REALLY REALLY fast.

At the Cube Club, we got the first movie ever of Acclaim's Extreme G 3. This game is looking to kick the N64 predecessors bootay right off the track.

Special thanks to Yorrike from Hardcore Gamers for the bandwith!

Check out this excellent audio special from Nintendojo!

Nintendojo have put up an excellent interview with Factor 5 the co-developers of the Dolphin sound chip, go here and read the article........ titled "Sound Byted - Taking Video Game Sound into the Next Generation".

Shigeru Miyamoto talks about the Game Boy Advance and Dolphin! Good Shiggy quotes found here!

And I mean few. Nintendojo has these few (yet good!) words :)

In an interview with trade publication MCV, Shigeru Miyamoto made his first comments regarding the Game Boy Advance. "We're providing the industry with a new system but we have to make it very noticeable to the public why they should buy Game Boy Advance when they already have a Game Boy." Quite true. On the topic of Dolphin, Miyamoto said that DVD makes game developmentless risky for third parties. He also spoke to game piracy. "Cartridges area better prevention for piracy, but our hardware development teams will make Dolphin less susceptible to counterfeiting too."

Well just an easy way to say Mario will be more "adult" in his Dolphin incarnation. Videogames.com has got the shiznit....

In a published interview at videogames.com, Miyamoto was asked about the new Mario and he respond by saying that the maturation process will be "in regard to how we are going to deal with the design of the next Mario and his surroundings. I am talking about background scenery, and I'm talking about Mario's facial expressions." Miyamoto added that "In the past few years those areas have become much more geared toward children. What we're going to attempt to accomplish with the next Mario game is to allow older gamers to find interest in the title as much as younger ones and not to be ashamed to play it."

We were hoping for the best but it looks like the Dolphin will be delayed until 2001.

There will be a delay of the release of Dolphin. It's looking like 2001. My comment....This blows monkey's like a 2 cent whore. Thanks to IGN64 for the unfortunate news.

In a recent interview with Japanese magazine Dengeki Nintendo 64, game designer Shigeru Miyamoto shed some more light on Nintendo's next-generation console. Evidently Nintendo's EAD studios is much earlier along in the development cycle of Dolphin software than previously thought, which further suggests that the console simply cannot make its intended 2000 release date.

It looks like our hopes for DVD playback on Dolphin are being dashed about jagged rocks by Nintendo. Alas!

This is bad news. Very bad news. IGN64 has the very bad news. Japan and not US? Yo! Nintendo, remember how many freakin' N64's you have sold here. Don't forget who is helping keep you alive. Here's the poop.

Giant electronics firm Matsushita announced yesterday in a Japanese press conference that it will not bring its version of Dolphin to US shores. The system, which includes the ability to play back DVD movies, will release exclusively in Japan. The announcement shatters hopes for a Matsushita developed high-end DVD-ready version of Dolphin in the US.
