One Quick thing... GC

by Billy Berghammer - 8:33 pm EDT

Billy defends the GC's design...

The GameCube is NOT ugly! I am so sick of people saying this thing is F&*king ugly. Guess what! It's really hard to explain this, but once you see a GameCube up close, I think you'll be impressed.

I will admit, when they first showed everyone the GameCube, I was kind of shocked. Almost Mortified.... Read more...

Sega Stank Ass?

In a suprising move, Sega has developed a new French perfume!

Interesting, and funny news story that UKResistance posted about Sega releasing a new Fragrance! It's another "funny-ha ha" story Ty dug up. Man I wish I had that much time to dig up things like this. I would be playing Mario Tennis! Here's the slop...

GBA vs. Bandai

by Kosta Andreadis - 6:06 am EDT
Source: FGN Online

Uh oh, Nintendo! Watch out for Bandai!

Just when it looked like the Gameboy Advance had the playing field all to itself, it looks like it may indeed face some competition. Online reports are speculating that Bandai are to unveil a new color handheld to compete directly with the GBA. The system is rumored to be cheaper than Nintendo's handheld... Read more...

Billy's Post-Show Thoughts

by Billy Berghammer - 9:59 pm EDT

In the end all I had was my memories, but boy what an experience it was. Here's my final breakdown of all I saw and thought...

First off, at this period of time I would say that my clock was totally screwed up. I had been there for 24 hours already, slept a few hours, and still didn’t feel normal. Also, the lack of Mountain Dew in Japan did drive me partially insane. Bocari Sweat (Japanese Sports Drink) didn't quite... Read more...

Goodbye Space World!

by Billy Berghammer - 3:27 pm EDT

Billy writes up a real tear-jerker!

Yes, Space World went faster than...er...Pokemon Popsicles on a hot Japan day. It was truly a remarkable event! Yes, unfortunately it's all over. Impressions still coming! Adam from TB and I got sucked into the wonderful city of Akikhabra, which is Japan's Electronics capital, and blew a crapload... Read more...

SW - Day #3

by Billy Berghammer - 4:06 pm EDT

Billy talks about the third and final day of Space World.

7:37am Japan Time - Good morning again folks! It's Day #3 of Space World, and today we will be feeding you most of our impressions of GBA games. I didn't get a chance to post my impressions yesterday due to the fact we did a little sight seeing and shopping. Still no 64DD anywhere, and no freakin' Mountain Dew. Pretty pathetic if you ask me. I'm going to ask our connections with Nintendo if they know why there aren't any available. Very odd.

Billy Speaks

Ty talks to Billy and gets some stuff on Billy's Space World experience so far.

A had a chat with our tired-as-hell Editor in Chief just now, here's what he had to say:

"No mountain dew here .... did drink some weird green imposter tho"

Now, seriously, this is what I've got to post. Almost exactly what Billy said, just edited for clarity. Some pretty important things, so look alive:

2 impressive GameCube demos on video!

Here's a couple tech demo movies from the big show, as seen on Daily Radar. I'd particularly like to draw your attention to the forest demo, probably the most impressive movie yet. I think it could be realtime, while Steven doesn't seem to buy it. What do you think?

Billy's Day 1 Impressions

by Billy Berghammer - 9:59 pm EDT

After picking my jaw up off the floor when the Gamecube presentation was made it was off to play some GBA demos!

Nothing much more to say than WOW! Here's some write-ups on two games I was able to demo on the show floor:

Mario Kart Advance

The second I got done taking pictures of GBA and GameCube systems, I rushed over to give Mario Kart Advance a whirl. They had a couple of 4-player setups to rage... Read more...

MKA-Quick thoughts GBA

by Billy Berghammer - 9:02 am EDT

Billy jots down some stuff about Mario Kart Advance.

The second I got done taking pictures of GBA and GameCube systems, I rushed over to give Mario Kart Advance a whirl. They had a couple of 4-player setups to rage on. So, of course, I felt obligated to fire it up. If you are a Mario Kart fan, or just a racing game fan, this game will not dissapoint you a bit.

E3 2001: Bloodbath GC

by Justin Nation - 4:19 am EDT

Billy happens to mention that E3 2001 will be heaven.

You heard it here first folks, Billy sent me this message and said it had to go up, that he'd forgotten to mention it. Apparently the word is that all of these Gamecube demo games will be playable at E3 next year... meaning you have to figure at least half of them will actually make it. Regardless,... Read more...
