Nintendo Gaming / OFFICIAL Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes Discussion
« on: May 01, 2003, 03:55:34 PM »
It doesn't reveal any new info, but Nintendo added Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes to their E3 page. It is good Nintendo is updating their E3 page, but hopefully they will start adding media like movies or screen shots.

A VGA box allows any source to play on a monitor.

Nintendo Gaming / Custom Robo GC
« on: May 01, 2003, 10:55:35 AM »
I don't think that CVG is reliable but they are reporting that Custom Robo GC will be at E3. The game will have LAN. Custom Robo series hasn't been stateside so it is unknown if the game will come to the states.

Nintendo Gaming / Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour
« on: May 01, 2003, 10:45:58 AM »
I saw this earlier. I think that the boxart came from gamestop.com.
We have a release date, title, and boxart, but no screen shots from the game. Weird. Has there every been a game that was unveiled (shown in game screen shots) just one month before release? Tube Sliders was close, but it got delayed a couple months.

If you look at games that I personally find very appealing, like Metal Gear Solid, they have huge amounts of flash and they've got the content as well. So I think that's the direction we're going to go in next time.

Nintendo Gaming / Star Fox Armada: MIA
« on: April 30, 2003, 07:52:52 PM »
It seems that Nintendo will focus on multiplayer (LAN) games at E3. Which is good since Smash Bros. and Mario Party 4 have been GameCube top sellers. I think that more LAN games will be announce.

Nintendo Gaming / TRSTS NPD Sales Thread
« on: April 30, 2003, 05:31:07 PM »
In one of the many analyst reports, I forgot which one, it said PS2 and XBox were down a certain percent from Feb 2003 and Nintendo stayed the same.
It is unclear what is "same period". First, I thought it was 20% from Feb. Now, it seems they are talking about the period after Zelda's launch, which is March 24. The day Zelda launch could have seen a 20% rise from last weeks numbers.
Quote
The new Zelda game set a Nintendo record with more than 600,000 copies pre-sold to consumers before its March 24 launch date, and retailers now are quickly burning through the entire initial North American shipment of 1.1 million games. In the same period, sales rates for Nintendo GameCube hardware have jumped 20 percent.

Nintendo Gaming / Chance for punchout GC
« on: April 30, 2003, 05:22:56 PM »
Punchout was great. The chances of Punchout GC is pretty slim. Nintendo IRD makes the Punchout series, but hasn't made a game since 96. They mostly focus on hardware stuff. Nintendo could do what they did with another IRD game, Pilotwings, and give it to a 3rd party developer or NST.

« on: April 30, 2003, 02:19:28 PM »
they were unit sales.
here is what the hardware sales should look like. I used percent growth to get the numbers (% of feb numbers).
PS2 - 406,560
XBox - 163,510
GCN - 164,000
The official numbers should look pretty close. The GCN should beat the XBox by a slim amount.

Sony Playstation 2: 3,587,938 | 50%

The numbers don't make sense for hardware sales. I think that the numbers are total software sold for each system.

Nintendo Gaming / SD Adapter
« on: April 29, 2003, 09:03:21 PM »
I knew someone made an SD adapter thread but when I search for it, nothing came up.
more speculation: Quiter thinks that Final Fantasy CC may use the SD adapter because it will be release on the same day (July 18).
