Wow. A complete listing of every NCL game ever published has been posted online.
John Ricciardi's Super Deluxe Web Page has posted one heck of a special feature - an organized list of every game released by Nintendo Co. Ltd. The list is organizes the games into the year they were released, (covering 1983 to 2001) and lists each respective system that the games were released for. Although this is not directly related to GBA or NGC, I figured that this was something every Nintendophile should see.

Sonic Team is going contest crazy! Japanese Chu Chu GBA gamers have a chance to win a great trip!
Sonic Team seems to love holding contests. This time, Japanese gamers have a chance to win a tour of the "Kennedy Space Center" located in Florida. It seems that after beating the GBA game, a password will be displayed once, and the gamer must copy the password and mail it to Sonic Team. There will be 10 groups of 5. Strangely, though, the winners must pay airfare! Yes, this IS quite odd....

Could it be that the limbless one is breaking out of his traditional platformer-only mold?
Consoles France has the goods for Ubi Soft's new Rayman title that looks like it will be attempting to break out of its normal genre. A little bit of multi-player madness perhaps? Seems that's what is in store. Head on over to Consoles France for the first pics of this title (even if they're a bit blurry).

In TOKYO story on Wednesday headlined ``Nintendo unveils new game system for next Game Boy'' please read in last
