Gamespot is reporting that the GameBoy Advance will feature tilting technology.

The guys at Gamespot are reporting that the Gameboy Advance will also use the tilting technology that will be used in Kirby's Tilt N' Tumble. Looks like we'll be shaking the AGB when it hits U.S. shores next year. Also, I can't help but wonder if Nintendo really likes this technology, might we see... Read more...

The news you want? Is it? IGN dropped the bomb Friday night, and unleashed pics of what they think the Dolphin controller will look like, what they think DVD Media specs will be like, as well as how pretty they think this thing will be.

Emphasis saying here...this is what they think. I'm not... Read more...

Oddworld Inhabitants co-founder, Lorne Lanning, has some ill-informed and seemingly ignorant comments regarding the Dolphin.

In one of the most ill-informed and seemingly ignorant responses ever spoken by an executive, Lorne Lanning, co-founder of Oddworld Inhabitants said the following to Hyper Magazine concerning Dolphin.

"(Nintendo) want to keep making machines with limited potential so that they can keep control... Read more...

C&VG says that they have confirmed that the official name of the Dolphin is Star Cube. Hmf.

Interesting, and scary as well. The boys over at C&VG say they have confirmed that Dolphin will now be called Star Cube. Could it be? Does it upset you or disappoint you. Do you believe it? Read on my friends....

"Sources close to Nintendo's Japanese office have told CVG today that Dolphin will be officially named Star Cube. The announcement will be made at a trade only event to be held on 24 August.

We've discovered the identity of the previously unknown patent of an N64 catridge.

A few days ago we posted a story with some weird pictures taken from the Patent Database of a N64 cartridge that none of us new what they were.

Thanks go to reader Steve Boelcskevy for doing some hardcore investigative work and figuring it out for us.

It is a cartridge for the N64 that was... Read more...

C&VG is reporting that GameBoy Advance is officially confirmed for Spaceworld, but they seem to think there will be no Dolphin. We think otherwise.

Real shocker here folks, but GBA is officially confirmed to be at Spaceworld. Seeing is the GBA technology has been out for quite a while, and developers working with development kits. This Computers and Videogames article seems to say Nintendo will not show Dolphin at Spaceworld this year. We here at PlanetN2000 (at least I do) think that they are fools and don't know what they are talking about. Nintendo never delays anything. Cough...

"Computers and Video Games" derails GameFan's Rare story.

Our story from Gamefan yesterday, is supposedly bogus according to C&VG. To be quite honest folks, the only people that really know what's going on is Shiggy and a few people at the big N. Nintendo has got Spaceworld and Dolphin information very very hidden. And anyone that knows anything has a gun to their heads to keep their pie hole shut.

GameFan has aquired a preliminary list of titles that Rare is expected to show at Spaceworld 2000!

More for the rumor/speculation pile today. After Rarenet Dan's Rare happenins' across the pond, Gamefan online has acquired a preliminary list of titles (for the both the N64 and Dolphin) that Rare's expected to show at Spaceworld 2000. There are two Dolphin titles on this list. The one actually known game is Mickey's 3D Adventure. The other title is unknown at this time. Could it be Killer Instinct 3?

TendoBox delves deep into the potential Dolphin name game.

A couple months ago, the name Star Cube came up and many have speculated that this may be the name for the Next Generation Nintendo System. Some laughed, some threw up...some said no way. Tendobox has looked into this a little bit further...and have discovered some interesting things about this little... Read more...

Would you be a beta tester for NOJ? It pays 9 bucks an hour! And they pay for your travel expenses! Er, I doubt that is for us out of country people. Oh well.

Would you be a beta tester for NOJ? It pays 9 bucks an hour! And they pay for your travel expenses! Er, I doubt that is for us out of country people. Oh well. Core Magazine believes it's for GBA testing. I think Nintendo is forcing people to play nauseating amounts of PS2 games until they are "jaggied" to death. Cough. Here's the meat.

Our Happy Independence Day wishes to you!

Is it a bad thing to have a couple days off from the real world? Hell naw! It gives us some quality time to spend with our families and loved ones. Who are we kidding! Of Course we're playing games! Hell I haven't even had a chance to beat PD yet (yes, I'm pretty freakin' lame) Happy Independence day (well...almost) to all of our US readers out there! And if you are from another country, have a beer anyways. As for Kosta, have a Fosters. :)

An anonymous tip from a Forum reader clued us in on a new cartridge-looking design patent awarded to Nintendo.

An annonymous tip from one of our Forum readers clued me in on a new design patent awarded to Nintendo for what appears to be a cartridge of some kind for the N64. The Design Patent number is D427,245. I don't know what this is, at first glance it appears that it could be some sort of a lock-on cartridge, but upon further examination, this no longer seems to be possible.

Quantum talks to the companies about selling their wares.

Nintendo seem to actively support the concept of writability when it comes to videogames, as seen with the Japan only 64-DD (even thoguh its a failure). Some say that Nintendo's decision to go with DVD with Project Dolphin was to avoid the mistakes they made in their past and to regain it's third... Read more...

Stop faffing about like a spiv!

Head on over to Rarenet and read the journals of the man himself, Dan, and his journeys in Rare's homeland, England. Some fairly obvious yet refreshing rumors from Dan is that Rare are planning on unveiling at least a couple of Dolphin titles at this year's August Spaceworld 2000 show in Japan. Dan's...

Kit's? Maybe we should say kits...

And no I'm not referring to the lovable car from the spectacular 80's series, Knight Rider, I'm referring to the development kind. You know, the things companies like Capcom, Konami, and even Nintendo use to create their games. Well there has been much speculation as to whether or not developers out... Read more...

Check out this great Camelot interview from Core Magazine!

If you didn't know, one of the games in 2000 I'm looking forward to is Mario Tennis. Camelot has made only a few games for N64/GBC, and every game I have played of theirs has been a favorite of mine. To put it lightly...Camelot gives me wood.

Currently Camelot is finishing up Mario Tennis as... Read more...
