I bet this Spyro Dragon news story could fit right here!

The fourth Spyro the Dragon title is hitting GBA, and should be available sometime in 2002. No word yet if Spyro will be coming to a GameCube near you. Spyro will also be ported to PlayStation 2, Xbox, and PC.

Who wants more Spaceworld video coverage? I DO! I DO!

Game Spot has posted the Press Event in almost every flavor imaginable. If you haven't gotten enough of the GameCube - GBA footage, or just want to see it again for the first time...head on over there. Very cool stuff!

Wow! We're like the McDonalds of the Nintendo sites!

Yeah boy! We've had our 1 millionth visitor here at PlanetN2000! Woohoo! Thanks to you the readers for your support! And of course, special thanks to the amazing PlanetStaffers for all of their hard work over the years. If it wasn't for you, none of this would be possible.

In celebration, while... Read more...

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...

Looks like we're not the only ones who are thrilled with the GameCube!

Don't get the wrong idea, this is all in jest. :) Click for the whole, uh, story.

"Look at that, maw! It's like a purdy purple box! Like the box the toaster came in!" exclaimed Eddie "Scooter" McDavis, a stupid ----ing idiot who was recently hospitalized for drinking a gallon of window cleaner.... Read more...

For the bandwith-challenged, the Miyamoto press conference is now up in text form.

That's right folks, the Miyamoto Spaceworld 2000 press interview session has all been converted into text by the hardworkers at Gamers.com. Hit the link above to read the full thing as Miyamoto, discusses everything from loading times to why the GameCube is the "ultimate games machine".

The quote of the interview definitely puts a smile on your face.

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...

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...

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.

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?

Forest DemoCar Demo

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...

Billy brings us up to speed from Japan!

Good Morning all! 8:15am Japan Time. I'm on my way to the show for Day #1 of Space World! Can you dig it?

We had a little server trouble earlier, but that seems to be resolved for the time being. If you are linking to our media, or pictures, please link directly to PlanetN2000.com, and not just to the file. Thank you!

So... You say that you want to see the GameCube demo reels, eh? Well... Come on in!

Movies brutha! We got 'em! Granted I wouldn't of minded seeing a crapload more of GameCube footage, but from what we got to see in motion made me fill 'dem Depends. And we're bringin' the Depend fillin' action to you!

Here's Three Fresh new MPEG's (yeah real video sucks) for ya!

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.

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...

Billy seems to be excited about something...

Yeah, you heard me correctly. Good-BYE! I can't write much because we are trying to get all the media up as fast as we can. All I have to say is that the games I saw on GameCube and GBA were absolutely astounding. Anyone that doubts Nintendo will become a fan instantly. All the pics will be up in a few moments....Now I'm working on the video. Hold on to your depends. This is gonna blow you away.

This sums up just about everything we know about GBA so far.

Here's what we've got on GBA so far:

It'll launch for 9,800 yen on March 21, 2001. (In Japan, mind you.)

The songs used to demo the GBA hardware at the GBA developers conference last April are now available to the public, our buddies at pocket.ign have the story and mp3s.

And here's a list of freshly announced games:

Space World straight from Big N! Click now, damnit!!!!!

Oh... my... God! Repeat it now, repeat it often, don't stop repeating it until one of these puppies is in your hands. Not only has Nintendo finally opened with a strong volley, it looks like they've opened it up with both barrels! First, we got details just off the phone with Billy... second, we have pics from the lovely folks at Nintendo, posted here since their server is going to be CRAWLING today (it already is at 5 AM!).
