It's all about the Benjamines. And Nintendo's makin' em.

Nintendojo has a sweet story on the big N's earnings for the past fiscal year. Too large to reprint the whole thing, but here's a little snip about how much dough they rolled in.

Nintendo raked in the equivalent of $1.35 billion in fiscal 1999, with a group current profit of 165.2 billion yen.... Read more...

More Zelda? What's better than that?

Hell yeah! This will at least make all you people out there who are hungry for Zelda to hit the Dolphin (which you can almost guarantee) very happy. Some new form of Zelda will be hitting the N64. Thanks to Yutaka Ohbuchi (good to see ex-N64HQ-ers hookin' up with the big news) and Gamespot for the info...

The official Mario was swiped! Really!

Yes, believe it or not, but the actual Mario from NOA in Redmond, Washington was stolen. Damn, what a good hookup! Not that I would do something like that ;) . First, it's The Episode One film, now Mario. Thanks to Nintendorks for the dramatic story.

Last night, the sculpture of the one and... Read more...

Info on Nintendo's copy protection plans!

Copy protection seems to be a very important issue for Nintendo with the choice of DVD with the Dolphin. Nintendo 2000 News relayed a story from EE Times about Matsushita's involvement with Nintendo in the battle against piracy.

So what's on the tape?

So you really wish you were at E3 to see all the latest and greatest games. Yeah, you and me both my friend. I've been pimping Video-Sources E3 Video for weeks.

More about the third party situation

Next Generation gives us the lowdown on the truth about the three 3rd party game publishers. I'm very happy (thank GOD) to hear the biziches were wrong, and Nintendorks were right....

On Wednesday, the business trade, Asia Biztech, reported that Nintendo intends to limit third-party for Dolphin to only three companies. Nintendo in Japan (via NoA) that there's more to the story.

Old school Star Wars

I think I filled my "Oops, I crapped my pants" adult undergarments after watching this. If you need more Star Wars, I think you'll get a kick out of Star Wars in ASCIIMATION. Someone definitely has a bit too much time on their hands. Thanks to Bluesnews.

3 Developers my Arse...

This rumor floating around about Dolphin only having 3 game developers was making me itch like you wouldn't believe. Fortunately the fine folks over at Nintendorks have squashed that. Check this...

Neato!

NintendoNext has some pretty fly home made Project Dolphin wallpaper for you! It comes in 3 flavors all zipped up for your pleasure...800 x 600 , 1024 x 768 , and 1280 x 1024 . They also have an interesting story about Square on their page. But I advise reading at your own risk. To be quite honest, I'm not sure about the truth to half the news on their site, but hey, it's nice to dream too! At least the wallpaper is pretty cool.

"D" word? Already?

With all the news that flew out of E3 lately, the guys at Nintendojo take a realistic look at what could really happen with Dolphin's future, and possible release delays.

While Internet reports state that "Dolphin" was shown to selected developers behind closed doors at E3, IBM is not yet finished... Read more...

What? Three software developers only?

Next Generation keeps the N2000 news flowing once again. How would you like to know that Dolphin will only have 3 other software developers? Rumor or truth? Read On...

Was it seen or not?

Next Generation has posed some comments about the actual viewing of Dolphin as well as some other (worried?) console maker's comments. Very interesting stuff. I think Sony seems a little stressed after the announcement, as well as the disappointing reviews of their PSX 2 at E3.

In interviews with several semiconductor industry trades, IBM has revealed that it is still designing the CPU at the Dolphin's core.
