I'd sing stuff but people would throw large things at me. A little 2001 retrospective, and thoughts about 2002!

Happy New Year Everyone!

This has truly been a year to remember. PlanetN2000 transformed into its new form of Planet GameCube. Game Boy Advance and GameCube finally get released. Gamers across the globe are freakin’ out at the beauty of next generation gaming. The crazy thing is the fact that this is only the beginning!

In a quick interview with CNBC, Shigeru says a few words about first/second party titles, the GBA-GC connection, and more!

Reporter: What are your plans for the GBA and GC connection?

Miyamoto: Our plan is to use it in a unique way. In the past, players had to look at the same screen, which give the best players the advantage. Now there is none of that with the GBA and GC connection. This allows a type of strategy and gameplay that no one has seen before. We at Nintendo and hopefully everybody else can take advantage of this.

A bit late, but they're here.

A real quick easy way to wish all of you a very happy holiday season without sending out cards and junk! We're cheap bastards! Are we going to slack off and ignore you for 2 weeks? Hell no ho ho!!!!!

As you read this, I have just arrived home for the holidays, as has the rest of the staff of Planet GameCube. Our company Holiday party was a complete success. Max threw up on Santa, Ty made all the Reindeer write trivia questions, and Dragona kicked Tony Hawk out of the party because he was “wrong”. Good times were had by all. But now we’re off spending the holidays with our respected real families.

Though the details aren't all there, the GBA will be online in 2002... but not with Nintendo.

The Internet is all abuzz about what the company Christmas card sent by Rare is all about ...

Games Radar has gotten a hold of Rareware's company Christmas card, and it's set the 'Net on fire with what it could possibly mean. All we know for sure are the facts.

The card is a take on the classic "Twelve Days of Christmas" theme, starting with "4 elements of power." The art is a pretty clear indicator of an upcoming GameCube title, "Kameo: Elements of Power."

Maybe not, but Nintendo will be using GBA for interactive trivia games in Japan.

In a partnership with the Nippon Broadcasting Corporation (NHK), Nintendo NCL plans to use the GBA in a whole new way. By connecting the GBA (with a specific game pak) to the Internet, Japanese GBA owners will submit answers to televised trivia questions for an scored evaluation. No further details about the system's versatility or trivia content have been commented on, but if done right the software could prove to be quite popular.
