Dolphins, IBM, and Fran oh my!

Seems like everything may be right on schedule as the news that IBM has produced 2,000,000 copper chips, with over 1,000,000 in the past 4 months alone, has surfaced.

GBA!!

Hell yeah! Bring it on! After picking up my GBC the other day and getting lost in the world of Pokemon (god forbid!) I have just been facinated with the concept of GBA, and what it will be able to do. IGN Pocket has done a very cool recap, and preview of the new handheld. Interesting to note that this editorial says that people have actually seen a demonstration of GBA playing a version of the N64 game Yoshi's Story. Hrmmm. Read on!

ATI purchases Art-X for 400 million!

If I had $400 Million Dollars I would have bought Art-X as well! Then again if I had 400 million I wouldn't be writing this right now :). I'd be partying like a freaking rockstar! ATI is purchasing Art-X to break into the e-appliance and gaming realm. I'd say Art-X is a good place to start. Here's the goods!

Daily Radar is-- [censored for inappropriate content]

Daily Radar has been under criticism since its inception. They have been called things like 'biased towards Sony', and much worse. Sony Radar's "5 reasons Dolphin won't outpower the PS2" caused a stir, and brought this fact to the gaming world, and in turn caused the Nintendo faction of Daily Radar... Read more...

The Planet = Infinite source of horrid puns.

I actually have little to no 'karma' perception but judging form the interview over at Nintendojo with Dutch developers Karma Studios, I'm guessing that this one counts as good karma. The developers have so far completed 5 games for the Gameboy Color and are actively seeking publishers for these titles.... Read more...

MGS2 + Dolphin = Heaven

Oh, a Dolphin version would be so sweet! One of the few games I really loved on the PSX. Bring it on! Well Konami is rather tight lipped in this quick little interview on IGN64. Looks like Konami could have Dev. Kits, and workin' up some magic. All assumptions aside, Konami...serve me up some of that sweet ISS action too please. :)

Those Saffire pics from Magic Box were NOT actual Dolphin Pics.

Those Saffire pics from Magic Box were NOT actual Dolphin Pics. "These prototype Saffire images are running on PC hardware, but offer a good idea of what the developer hopes to achieve on Dolphin." Want high resolution pics? Check out the link. It looks much prettier. :) Even Panty lines!

More from Hiroshi Imanishi!

More from Hiroshi Imanishi! (2nd story below). Games are first in his eyes to take Sony out. He said basically that Pokemon wouldn't just be there only heavy hitter. Also there is a part where he said that GB hardware could be delayed....in Europe. Maybe that's where the GBA delay concept comes from in FGN'a story (one story below) Can Nintendo really pull off a 2000 release or is Nintendo just blowing smoke? Read the goods here.

FGN Online has a piece from the newly appointed European Head of Sales and Marketing. Not a good way to start your job marketing buddy. He thinks the GBA will be delayed. Can someone make up their minds please?!

Hiroshi Imanishi spoke to Reuters today, and stated that Nintendo plans to launch world wide at the end of 2000.
