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)

Thanks to Diet Game-Online News for this great news! You gotta love insiders sometimes :) ! GBA could make it out in Japan as early as the Summer of 2000! Hell yeah! Any predictions on import prices? Hmmmm. Oh well...here's the good news (Pokemon news to follow):

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.

Rumors are floating around the latest Next Generation Magazine that Nintendo is talking with some big companies about online gaming. The latest rumor surrounding this topic is...America Online. There's also something surprising said about Gameboy Advance. Remember, it may be a rumor, but it's an interesting one. Here's the full scoop:

Not very exciting, unless you really like 3rd party hardware.

Yea. Not the most exciting news, but Nyko will be making controllers for Dolphin. Thanks to Dolphin Cove for the biz.

Following in the footsteps of Interact's announcement that they would support Dolphin, comes an announcement from Nyko. Nyko informed GameSpot that it has plans to support Nintendo's Dolphin with game-controller peripherals and accessories.

Could this be Nintendo's network plans?

EE-Times has an article about HAVi, (Home Audio Video interoperability) which is basically something that will allow consumer electronic devices to connect to networks, specifically the Internet. Matsushita is part of this deal along with seven other companies, one being Sony. Could this technology be incorporated into the Dolphin? Who knows? Here's the real news on this subject.

I sure freakin hope so!

Hark? Is there another game announcement today? Well, not quite, but there is a good rumor over at Diet Game-Online News. It looks like EA has the rights to the new James Bond movie, The World Is Not Enough. (which I may add, is a pretty good flick!) A Dolphin version of the game a seriously being hinted at. Read on....

Finally, we have a GAME!

Okay, there is actually a GAME ANNOUNCEMENT! Not bad! :) IGN64 has the word about a new first person shooter being developed from N64 Rainbow Six fame Saffire. Here's the chunks of fun....

It's no big secret that Nintendo aims to market its next-generation console, codenamed Dolphin, as a mass-market gaming machine. The giant games and hardware manufacturer has repeatedly... Read more...

I believe we can file this under good news.

I have no idea why we missed this one, but The Magic Box had some really interesting words last week from the Chairman of Nintendo of Japan. If this is true or not, or what source got this information, I am not sure. Just clarifying that so you don't think we are like one of those other Nintendo... Read more...

FGN Online/IGN64 tells us that MTV will be hooking up with the PSX, PC, and next generation systems to produce a "make your own music video," called the MTV Music Generator. Here's the juice:

So you'll be able to plug in SNES carts? Not quite. At least you'll be able to play the games!

Here's the skinny...

According to Minaduki, Nintendo has released some new details concerning the Game Boy Advance.

First, the unit will be 100% compatible with Super Famicom (Super Nintendo) titles. Meaning not that you can plug in an SNES cart, rather, developers can easily port old SNES games.
