The BBC video game show Newsround mentions DVD Playback for Dolphin...

Maybe this is fluff as well. Or could it be what will be soon to be announced Dolphin information?

Could this be first indication of a Donkey Kong for Dolphin, or is it just fluff?

In the media that's what we call a lesser news, kind of a "oh that's nice" story filling an area that normally would hold a more important news story. In this case, it's IGN64 filling a space that they would like to have some BIG dolphin news. News that isn't here yet. Maybe tomorrow. But instead they have this.

Yeah, yeah, you've heard the other story about this a couple days ago. We've finally got our paws on the Press Release.

Could there be a new Track & Field en route from Konami?

Ahhhh...just thinking about Track and Field 1 and 2 in the arcade makes my hands just cramp up. The amount of quarters I used to plug into that machine back in the day is probably a number I wouldn't like to admit, but it was worth it. Track and Field was definitely one of my favorite multiplayer... Read more...
