Wondering what's going on in the land down under?

First and foremost, it's good to be back! So good in fact that PlanetN2000 will now cover news and Dolphin related titbits that occur in my homeland, which happens to be down under. Under what I'm not exactly sure, oh yeah, underneath "America". Ha! Well as this is the first issue of the ever popular new section I think I'll kick it off with a mediocre bang.

We survived the non-existant Y2k destruction.

Finally. Everything seems to be back to normal. I hope. And no folks it wasn't Y2K related. Our actual host server had to make a move. Not a good thing. So the Internic had to work it's so called "magic" with the address changes. Not too speedy either. My ISP is going through some changes and had to move me around. I sincerely apologize for being down. This was a totally unplanned event that shouldn't have taken place.

GameFan reports on Nintendo holding out on 3rd parties.

Nintendo holding out? GameFan reports that in the latest issue of Game Developer Magazine they had an interview by Author Mark DeLoura about how Nintendo has been keeping programming techniques from 3rd parties. Not a good way to make 3rd parties happy.

Happen to pick up the November 1999... Read more...

Tis the Season to be Jolly -not commit robbery! Poor Billy has lost his Game Boy...Doesn't life just SUCK sometimes?

So how was your Holidays so far? On this end, not so good. I was home in Milwaukee for less than 12 hours, got all my Christmas shopping done, and wham, the sh#$ began to hit the fan. Most I won't get into, to spare you the details. But part of it is Nintendo related.

To make a long story... Read more...

Eurocom have Dolphin on its horizon and add a small smidgen of info to the mystery.

But even so they did say "Definitely, yes" when asked if they were looking into Dolphin development, "Nintendo have always been... Read more...

Capcom President Bill Gardner speaks his mind on the state of the industry and "the Big 3." It isn't all nice either...

Capcom president Bill Gardener seems to have woke up on the wrong side of the bed as he issued the public with his views on the next-gen console race. Without anything nice to say about Sony, Nintendo and Sega he just dishes out negative comments about each company. I mean dissing Sony is great, Sega ok, but Nintendo?! Below are excerpts from FGNonline.

Looks like that recent Factor 5 interview we told you about was just a sham. Lame!

Figures. Put up a story that's on NintendoNext and it's bullsh$#. Typical. The one FINAL time I gave NN a chance and they choke. Never again. I apologize to you the readers for lowering my defenses. I am turning my BS detector back on full. This is the e-mail I got from Mr. Duck. You silly punk ass.

Believe it or not, Nintendo Next landed an interview with Factor 5. We think they did anyway...

Maybe. I am actually going to post something about NintendoNext! Yes wacky Monday stuff. The only reason I am posting this is 1.) It's real (possibly) and 2.) Don didn't write it! Heh Heh! Anyhoo, NintendoNext seems to have had an interview with Factor 5. 2000 a possibility? After reading this, I think it could be.

Nintendorks talk to the main man at Saffire. Pretty tranquil guy too. Les Pardew comes clean with SAGE and projected Dolphin games.

The Dork-goodness is as follows:

Recent polls suggest that Nintendo should take female gamers into consideration with its next-console. Guess what Shiggy has to say?

In Japan a poll conducted recently that showed that the female population of Japanese gamers have little interest in purchasing a PS2. Well what does this have to do with Dolphin you say? In a recent interview, Miyamoto stated "As a matter of fact I'm currently working on a game starring a girl. Unfortunately,... Read more...

"Calling Thunderbirds!" THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO! Guess what? A game based on an action puppet show from years back is heading to Dolphin!

FGN Online reports that Thunderbirds will be a new game developed for the next generation Consoles. So what the hell is it? Well it's not a Jet Simulator if that's what you are thinking. This is possibly looking more like a space adventure/shooter/rpg. This could be really interesting! Thunderbirds is a 32 part series developed by Gerry Anderson. This is what TV21 (a Gerry Anderson Fan Site) has to say about our new friend Gerry...
