It looks like our hopes for DVD playback on Dolphin are being dashed about jagged rocks by Nintendo. Alas!

This is bad news. Very bad news. IGN64 has the very bad news. Japan and not US? Yo! Nintendo, remember how many freakin' N64's you have sold here. Don't forget who is helping keep you alive. Here's the poop.

Giant electronics firm Matsushita announced yesterday in a Japanese press conference... Read more...

When Shiggy speaks, we listen. CVG printed a transcript of the Miyamoto roundtable from Spaceworld...except messed up my question! Grrrr. Good news tho' inside!

Shigeru Miyamoto recently revealed that Luigi would be in Smash Brothers in a recent round table interview at Spaceworld 2001. Figuring we’d want to know more of what Shiggy had to say, one of our UK readers Chris Yates sent us a transcript. Here are a few choice quotes, regarding the new Zelda, no Mario at launch, GBA/GC connections and even more exciting news/views straight from Mr. Miyamoto himself. Check it out!

Some kids get a lawyer to file a Pokémon related gambling suit against Nintendo. Fun for the whole family.

My lord, this is ridiculous. You think Pokemon trading card is equal to Illegal gambling? Just like eating fun dip is equal to smoking one of those funny cigarettes. Hmm...well maybe a bad example.

Anyhoo...Check out this story about two kids actually filling a lawsuit against Nintendo.... Read more...

Retro is rumored to be working on five launch titles for the Dolphin.

Someone give me a hell yeah! And did I mention one of those games is an RPG? Woah nellie, this is really nice weekend news. And this would have been up earlier but I worked 12 hours yesterday, and I needed sleep. IGN64 has the stuff.

IGN64 has learned that developer Retro Studios is currently... Read more...

Sony gets a head start in the next-gen race... and accidentally leaves out a few things.

You think? It's uglier than the insides of a horses ass and it only has 2 controller ports! And Sony seemed to work real hard on their new controller. Yeah, I am not all that impressed with Sony's next generation to say the least. Well I am done bitching, but my good buddy Justin Nation from OperatioN2000 has a few words of his own. It's an excellent editorial called PS2: Heading in the Wrong Direction? Check it out here.

ArtX was going to show its chips at a tech event, but had to cancel due to falling behind schedule a bit.

We are not quite sure if this is from the rumor mill or not, but FGN Online has reported that Art-X has pulled out of the Microprocessor Forum where they were supposed to show their chip. Damn! Well here's the word.

The chipmaker was scheduled to reveal the technology on October 6, but has now had to mysteriously pull out of the event. Rumors are suggesting that Nintendo may have had something to do with the retraction.

A little anecdote from a guy who worked for Sega in Japan.

And I am not kidding. You think you have a crappy job? This is pretty sick. How would you like to work for Sega in Japan? Then read this story over at Gaming-Age. You will think about it again. Here's a little excerpt if you think I am just nuts.

On a cold and rainy Monday last December,... Read more...

Come on... witness the horror...

The CarXMan is in full effect with hookin' me up with the story. It's basically all over the net, but CarX sent me a link to the Gaming Intelligence Agency's story. Remember...this means since Sony has showed their cards....Nintendo is next. :) Well here's what Sony's next system has to offer. Note: it will only have 2 controller ports. Dumbasses! Anyhoo...here you go...

What do you do when the release date is more than a year off and you are starved for info? Get creative...

Not even close. But these people did seem to rip off quite a few things from...well...a bunch of people. Man, they even stole graphics. A cool HQ tribute site to say the least. I noticed their link on the N2000HQ. Well check it out for yourself. What do you think of the N200X mock up they have? Looks cool!

Getting ready for the Dreamcast launch.

Believe it or not, but the radio station that I currently work for is one of the stations that Sega picked to use for their Midnight Madness sale. And Rena Mero....better known as Sable will be at our launch, as well as two Minnesota Vikings. (I am a huge Packers fan...so this should be interesting).... Read more...

A few Dolphin bits from Miyamoto.

Not a lot of news but at least Miyamoto is talking a bit! Here are a few bit's from Fastest Game News Online concerning the Dolphin. Are you concerned? Not me :)

The legendary creator of Mario was only available for select interviews during the show. In talks he discussed the nature of future gaming and his contribution to it, taking care to stress the importance of low-cost gaming.

Come get your Nintendorks goodness inside.

Project Dolphin-Under the Hood is a great Editorial over at Nintendorks put up last night. I don't know how the hell I missed it but I did. It's so good it even has an intro! If you haven't read it yet...go here.

Nintendo has announced their plans for global domination. Their secret weapon? 1T-SRAM by MoSys.

Thanks to Justin for the story over at EE times. So what the hell is it? Here's the junk...

LONDON - So-called one-transistor SRAM technology developed by MoSys Inc. (Sunnyvale, Calif.) has gained a high-profile design win. It will be used by Nintendo Co. Ltd. (Kyoto, Japan) in its Dolphin game console, due to debut in fall 2000.

Billy vows to never get a GBC.... yeah right!

This new chapter in the Nintendo story is getting REALLY good. Unfortunately it's going to get me to hold off on a Gameboy color. And I was really psyched about the new Pokemon one too. But why get a GBC when you'll be able to get a Gameboy Advance! Nintendorks has more about it's online capabilities as well as how it can connect to your new Dolphin. The next generation is really going to be amazing. ;)

Billy gets excited about the DC.

Sega Dreamcast will be sold earlier than on 9.9.99. My guess is Monday or Tuesday stores will break the date. Probably not too big of a thrill for all of you, but that's my prediction. I wonder what the Vegas odds are of this. :)

256 bits?! Boy, I'm stuffed!

Yes, I rubbed my eyes as well when I say the link over at Nintendorks. Holy SHIT! If this is real, it will be absolutely unbelievable. Newsweek has a tasty article called Who's got game? Uh, I'd say Nintendo will. Here's a clip of what will eventually pitch tents worldwide.

Nintendo is... Read more...

This pretty much explains itself.

I'd personally like to thank all who had applied for a position here at Planet N2000. It was a long and rigorous process, but I have finally picked a team to take this site into the new millennium. Head over to the About us section to see the new Staff! There maybe a few changes in the next couple of weeks, so I hope you like them!

Gamespot has an interview with the great Shigeru. Come check it out!

After reading Nintendojo's regurge of Gamespot, I felt their entire article deserved a show. Here it is.

Q: What projects are you currently working on?

A: That's not a very easy question, actually. I want more and more younger people to work on the games now. I'm getting old now and even though... Read more...

Nintendojo cooks up some fine Shiggy eatin' from Space World!

Finally something good out of SpaceWorld! Kidding. I would give my left nut to have been at SpaceWorld. Hell, I would just love to go to Japan :)! Anyhoo....so far, the best damn Space World news award definitely goes to the Dojo. Those boys just know how to do Nintendo justice ;). Here's a great Shigeru-quoted-dealie they put together with some nice juicy Dolphin tidbits.

Nintendo will make 32-bit games! .....No, they're not developing for the Play Station....

The next generation Gameboy will be 32-bit. And you will be able to connect it to the Dolphin somehow. SWEET! Could we see the next handheld from Nintendo next summer? Kick ass! GameFan has the beef.

While Sega and Sony are using removable PDA's as memory, Nintendo has annouced that it will... Read more...
