A GBA Delay is looking more and more likely and here's some reasons why...

Obviously most of us here at Planet N2000 aren't holding their breath for a Fall release of the GBA. With the GBC selling so well (and generally no competition), it would be pointless for Nintendo to feel the need to release the new handheld. Not that 95% of the people that read this rag wouldn't purchase it upon release. Heh heh. Here's a few chunks of fun of other possible reasons why the system may be delayed.

Hideo Kajima plays dumb about Dolphin, sorta... We think something could be up!

Computer and Video Games Magazine recently spoke with Hideo Kajima from Konami (Metal Gear). Not a whole lot is said here. Personally, I think it's a lot of crap. "I don't know much about Dolphin."

Sony having more problems? Yeah, I know this is a Dolphin site, but Sony having problems is another boost for Nintendo followers!

Happy St. Paddy's Day!

Happy St. Patricks Day folks! Seeing is that all of us are Irish (even Kosta) we decided to take the night off, and pay homage to what is basically just green food coloring in beer. But it just makes it taste all that much better! So unfortunately there will be no Trivia tonight. Trivia should be returning next week, so keep on studying!

It was an extremely tough battle at the GDC for digging up serious Dolphin exclusives. And basically Nintendo likes to run away from specific questions pertaining to Dolphin. (like a screaming ninny)Pretty much anything more than, "So is Dolphin a game system?" gets a little too hot to handle. The... Read more...
