Nintendo is investing in a new company, but what could it be?

NCL purchased 3% of Lawson's Convenince Stores in Japan earlier today for 25.5 billion yen.

Nintendo is expected to elaborate on how this stake will further the firm's e-commerce ambitions later today, at 4 PM Japan time, when Nintendo is holding a press conference to announce a NEW COMAPNY!

Nintendo's "Mature" Card Series coming to America. Find out more inside...

Yes folks, Nintendo's more "mature" collect and trade GBC title, called "Cardhero," will indeed see a US launch. Meant to appease older players with its fast, furious premise, and evoking pure, undiluted strategy rather than simple overpowerment, Cardhero could very well equal Pokemon's success in...

Our Forums go Kaput!

Sorry folks, but the forums aren't working for some reason. I am looking into it right now. I didn't touch anything with it, so I am currently unsure of why it isn't working. I am extremely sorry for the interruption. We will get it back up as soon as we identify the problem.

Looks like the producer of Quake 3 is headed for Austin.

Thanks to Wes for sending this to me. I'm surprised I didn't find this myself, seeing is I am a total Quake CTF (Capture the Flag)freak. If you've ever played the original Quake Threewave CTF, and loved it, you must thank it's producer, David "Zoid" Kirsch. Well Zoid has basically been the man over... Read more...

Kosta rocks da house with a new editorial!

Ever look at a monkey and say to yourself "Man I can't believe we used to look like that", or if your religious "Luckily God didn't make me one of those prototypes".

Dolphin and AGB support, but of course!

In a recent Reuters report Konami expressed its plans for developing for the Playstation 2, and reaffirmed its deal with Nintendo to develop games for both the Game Boy Advance and the Dolphin. They also expressed that they still expect the systems to surface later this year in Japan, which means... Read more...

Whole lot of jigglin' going on!

Confirmed Dolphin publishers Ubi-Soft have secured rights to Pamela Anderson Lee and the show in which she stars, VIP. Ubi-Soft now owns the rights to publish games based on Anderson Lee and the show VIP on all next-generation consoles. This includes, Microsoft's X-Box, PlayStation, PlayStation2,... Read more...

Part of Nintendo's online plan?

...is currently another access URL to Nintendo.com (Like GameBoyAdvance.com.) Expect this to change soon, though. Small, I know, but still good to see, isn't it?

More info for staffers-to-be!

After getting a truckload of logo designs, I wanted to give a couple guidelines, and answers to some questions I've been getting.

Basically I am looking for a logo using our title Planet N2000. You are allowed to submit as many designs as you would like. The deadline for submissions is offically Wednesday, March 1. I have been getting some pretty nice designs. Keep up the good work, and get those submissions in!

Delay in the cards for Dolphin?

According to IGN64, four separate publishers have been saying Dolphin and GBA will be delayed until Q3 of 2001. Nintendo supposedly has been giving publishers the official marketing plans for the two systems. Both are slated for a Q3 2001 ship date. Note, this is the US date. The Japanese release...

Give us news or give us... a taco!

I think everyone is about as sick of this topic as I am. While Nintendo is keeping as silent as possible about this announcement, and what it will be and when it will happen and all that, the people have become rather disappointed. Don't fret!

The good news is that news is coming and it should... Read more...

Toby ain't no foo'!

God bless Toby, the speculating jackass! At least if you're a big tetris (or Tetrinet) fan. Nintendo has posted a tetris poll (click here to check it out) on their website, including a question asking what Tetris games you have played. Very interesting listing of 2 Tetris games that don't exist yet,... Read more...

One more developer on board?

According to IGN64, Crave Entertainment, the makers of such N64 games as Milo's Astro Lanes and Fighting Force 64, are looking to bring games over to Nintendo's Next Generation Console, ie the Dolphin. "We're always interested in all next generation platforms including Nintendo's" said Crave. Although it's good to see people interested in Dolphin, a company like Crave isn't known to produce stellar titles.

More good news for Dolphin fans!

Sweet news from the boys over at Tendo Box. Konami is working on a Gradius title for Dolphin!? Here's a mop so you can wipe up that drool puddle you just made. ;) How about more? Namco's rumored to be secretly working on a Xevious title as well. Hell yeah!

For gaming veterans the word "Gradius"... Read more...

Gamers are in for a treat...

Well I'm not sure exactly sure what delicious refers to in the headline, possibly the graphics?

Take a look inside...

It's True! And I ain't no Pig Fu$%er! This is kind of an extention in philosophies of what the Dorks said earlier. More pondering while we wait for real hard news! I do have to agree with the ideas presented here. Can Nintendo pull off a 2000 release in the US? Damn will there be a sh*$load of amazing games to play this holiday season. I'll have to quit my job. :) But this is another good read none the less.

Dorkus Malorkus.

In a few words, the folks over at Nintendorks don't think the GBA will be released in the US in 2000. Because of the GBA? You betcha! A quick little lesson in business! Check it....
