Believe it or not, Nintendo Next landed an interview with Factor 5. We think they did anyway...

Maybe. I am actually going to post something about NintendoNext! Yes wacky Monday stuff. The only reason I am posting this is 1.) It's real (possibly) and 2.) Don didn't write it! Heh Heh! Anyhoo, NintendoNext seems to have had an interview with Factor 5. 2000 a possibility? After reading this, I think it could be.

Birthday wishes to Planet's current handyman, Chris Wiser!

A big Ol' Happy 23rd Birthday to our resident problem fixer Chris Wiser! Obviously you haven't seen much of him news wise, but if it wasn't for him most of this site wouldn't be working or look right! So feel free to e-mail him one of those crazy flaming umbrella drinks here!

Thanks to the Nintendorks, we have some info on Saffire's preparation for Dolphin.

Nintendorks talk to the main man at Saffire. Pretty tranquil guy too. Les Pardew comes clean with SAGE and projected Dolphin games.

The Dork-goodness is as follows:

Last month the boys upstairs, Casamassina & crew more specifically, reported a major announcement revealing Saffire is already... Read more...

Recent polls suggest that Nintendo should take female gamers into consideration with its next-console. Guess what Shiggy has to say?

In Japan a poll conducted recently that showed that the female population of Japanese gamers have little interest in purchasing a PS2. Well what does this have to do with Dolphin you say? In a recent interview, Miyamoto stated "As a matter of fact I'm currently working on a game starring a girl. Unfortunately,... Read more...

"Calling Thunderbirds!" THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO! Guess what? A game based on an action puppet show from years back is heading to Dolphin!

FGN Online reports that Thunderbirds will be a new game developed for the next generation Consoles. So what the hell is it? Well it's not a Jet Simulator if that's what you are thinking. This is possibly looking more like a space adventure/shooter/rpg. This could be really interesting! Thunderbirds is a 32 part series developed by Gerry Anderson. This is what TV21 (a Gerry Anderson Fan Site) has to say about our new friend Gerry...

Do you got dem smart brains? Are you a programmar SMARTY MAN? DO YOU SI WANT TO WORK ATA NINTENDO?! (OK, Jeff K imitations aside, this is a real opportunity!)

Nintendo of America has recently put up an advert at their main site offering positions to some lucky technology know-how equipped people, giving the chance to be working on the Dolphin! Well if that gets you excited and if your also qualified for the position there's also a job opening at PlanetN2000 for a "Nintendo Insider Leaking Agent". Details below...

Could Dragon's Lair 3D make it to Dolphin? There is a chance! Check out this excerpt from an IGNPC Interview!

IGNPC recently had an interview with Rick Dyer from Dragonstone Studios' about Dragon's Lair 3D. Are we going to see Dirk on the Dolphin? It may, or may not happen. But the game does seem promising, at least if you are a Dragon's Lair/Space Ace fan like myself. ;) Interested in this game? Here's the link for the full article, or read the Dolphin Specifics below...

NintendoExpress uncovers a vital clue, proving without a doubt that LucasArts will be providing software for Dolphin

Nintendo Express reports that LucasArts has jumped onboard the Dolphin wagon, which means good news for all the Star Wars fans out there. Here's the full story:

On their website, LucasArts has listed an opening for a new Nintendo Senior Programmer. While this, in its own right, isn't anything newsworthy, it what was listed under "Major Responsibilities" that took us by suprise. Listed at the tip top of the list were these words.

Jim Merrick gives a revealing interview concerning the Dolphin, his views on PS2 and more! We have the highlights.

Who? Oh you know...Nintendo's Software Engineering Manager Jim Merrick!!! Uhhh..okay. Well he's got a LOT to say Dolphin wise. Most of this we already knew, but there's sort of word of Dev Kits out (or emulators), and some more goodies. Here's the link to the actual IGN64 interview. But here's the stuff that really matters with the Dolphin.

Half-man, half-machine, all cop - the sci-fi police legend Robocop will be coming to Dolphin.

Bring on the game announcements! So, Titus is making RoboCop for Dolphin? Hmmm. I am not sure what to think about this. Granted a RoboCop type of game would be very cool, if it's done well. Or it could turn out to be the next game using a "Licensed" Characters that blows chunks. Superman ring a bell? Who knows what'll happen. But here's the words from the Dorks:

Some of the first info we have on the Game Boy Advance's release. Not only that, it seems we can expect Pokemon for it. (Big surprise there)

Game Boy Advance is much... Read more...

That is a really bad pun

After trying out the DC's modem and web surfing capabilites, I hope to GAWD that Nintendo's is better. According to Datamonitor there will be a Sh*!load of people using consoles to surf the net. This is good news for people that are lovin' online gaming or the concept of being able to do this with the Dolphin. Thanks to GameDaily for the word.

Finally, this is the kind of stuff I like to hear...er...speculate.

Maybe we could have seen this info before. It seems there could be some secret networking plans between Nintendo, Matsushita, and Konami? Thanks to the Dorks for the stuff.

Nintendo is involved with Matsushita in digital network venture, tentatively titled x21. Now that's interesting, but... Read more...

Who wants to FITE?

IGN64 kind of confirms what we already speculated before. Looks like Sucker Punch is developing a game for the next generation consoles, and Dolphin is a possibility. Here's the juice....

Seattle based Sucker Punch, one of the most promising development upstarts in some time, told IGN64 today... Read more...

That company's name almost sound dirty...

Criterion Software? You know, the makers of such smash hit games like Redline, Sub Culture, and Scorched for the PC! Hmmmm. Well it seems our dear friends at Criterion Software have joined the ranks of many developers who believe Nintendo will not meet their projected 2000 release date, but they have also expressed interest in the console. Nintendojo has the juice.

Mmm turkey.

From all of us here at Planet N2000, we'd like to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! Even Kosta wishes you a Happy Thanksgiving, and he could give a rats ass about Thanksgiving because he's from Australia! We're just sharing the love people. ;) Just because all the corporate sites are on vacation... Read more...

This means that we will have excellent platformers on the Dolphin.

Well, considering Ubi Soft has made some great games like Rayman and Rocket on Wheels for the Nintendo 64, it's great to hear that they'll be on board with the Dolphin also. Thanks to VideoGames.com for the Ubi lovin'...

In addition to the six PlayStation2 titles that Ubi Soft has in development,

There is no way possible that this can be seen as "good" news.
