Just relax folks....things will be back to normal very shortly. You'll understand what's going on (hopefully) very soon.

AGB is your new god. Bow.

Nintendo recently posted a new Q&A on the Game Boy Advance. Go check it out! Most of it is the same old, same old .. but a couple of items of interesting note are the fact that over 70 developers attended Nintendo's recent Game Boy Advance Developers Conference, and that Nintendo expects more than 130 companies support the GBA.

America isn't everything, you know.

Yes, we had a little lapse in our service yesterday. Seems the ISP that's hosting us got DOS'd yesterday. Nice. Personally, I blame Canada. I'm sure it was their fault. I apologize for our downtime. I think everything is back in order, and back to normal now.

And the peasants wept, like they had never wept before.

Nintendo today told IGN64 that there would absolutely be no Dolphin or Game Boy Advance presence at this years E3 in May. They also ruled out any software, hardware or technical demos that might be shown behind closed doors. This may come as a surprise to some people out there, but for those of us... Read more...

Perhaps? Maybe? A foregone Conclusion?

Patrick Garrett of game-online.com reported that, "Solid word has reached us from reliable sources that Rare is staffing up for Perfect Dark 2 on Dolphin."

Of course, they also stated that "As expected, Rare was evasive on the subject this morning." No kidding?

"Rare cannot confirm or deny that," said the developer's PR stalwart Simon Farmer.

Dear God NO!!!!!!!!

One of our favorite sites here at PlanetN2000, Penny Arcade, is running a Miyamoto storyline currently. Dig the first strip, and the next... stay tuned for the "thrilling flash-animated conclusion" on Friday!

It's a good thing.

Several developers have assured IGN64 that the Dolphin graphics hardware will have on board T&L, otherwise known as transformation and lighting effects.

Huzzah!

Nintendo called it the Game Boy Advance Game Developers Conference, the place where developers were finally able to see the ins and outs of the GBA. With little real concrete information available about the Game Boy Advance, Nintendo finally lifted the lid on their upcoming handheld, well at least... Read more...

Nintendo's middle name has always been "tardy".

The creative head of Sega's AM Annex group, Tetsuya Mizuguchi discussed his impressions of Sega's competitors. He obviously thinks the DC will be fine, and says he thinks Nintendo takes too long to come out with new consoles. Interesting, but Nintendo seems to have this problem that their consoles seem to have a LONGER life span than Sega's systems. They don't just give up on a system and make a new one. Interesting read anyway ;)

LCD screens are no longer hard to find.

Last week we reported that the GBA would be delayed in Japan until spring of 2001 due to a shortage of LCD screens for the new unit. Well, this problem seems to be resolved. Magically Sharp ups there production levels. So why the delay? As we have been speculating for months...money talks. There is no reason to release the GBA if the GBC is still selling well. Here's the chunks of fun from FGN.
