Here's what mmWire had to say...

Video-Senki has struck again with more great words from NCL president Hiroshi Yamauchi.

Japanese gaming industry magazine Zaikai recently conducted an interview with Hiroshi Yamauchi and Video-Senki was kind enough to post it. Yamauchi says some pretty harsh words (what else is new) for the game industry regarding the future of game development, online games, and the state of the industry itself. Below are a couple of the nicer quotes from Yamauchi-san...

Our good friends from Nyko have sent us the pricing for their Game Boy Advance accesories. Granted, it's going to be a little while until the launch of the GBA here in the states. We know you're counting the days! Better be financially stable come June! Then again, these prices ain't that bad. 10 bucks for a worm light?

In a not so recent interview, Shiggy and his pal dish on GCN Zelda.

In an interview with The Amercian Armchair, Shigeru Miyamoto and Mr. Takano shed some light on the next installment in the Zelda series.

Irene Tang (Navigator): Hi, my question is, after Majora’s Mask, when are we going to see the next Legend of Zelda game? And on what platform would it be? Would it be on Gamecube?

The word is that Nyko's gotta an accessory arsenal waiting to happen for the GBA. Here's the first details...

If you have a Game Boy or Game Boy color odds are you have a light for it. So far, out of all the things that I've used with my Game Boy's, Nyko's Worm Light is the best. Many companies have copied it because it's so damn good. Then snipers took their sorry asses out for pulling a M$. Booya!

Somebody set up us the bomb!!!!

Well, if you're not privy to the whole "all your base" net-fad here is a quick catcher-upper. There was once this game on the Sega Genesis called ZeroWing. The funny thing about ZeroWing is that it has one of the worst Japanese to English translations ever. A bunch of people saw clips from the game... Read more...

It's another holiday, so Max touches on it & tells the world about a pretty cool celebratory idea.

OK, so it's Valentine's Day.
