Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil.

We repored last week that Ubi Soft may be porting their Evil Twin - Cyprien's Chronicles to the Dolphin. So what actually is it? FGN talked to Jean-Bernard Jacon the producer of the project and he shed some light on the games premise. Since I've been having reoccuring nightmares about Ty killing me in my sleep at E3 Killer Instinct style, I felt it was relevant. Read on!

Wait, don't get too excited. We quite mean it's out, but the headline isn't inaccurate either.

Well, no, not really .. yet. But, I just popped in my latest copy of Launch, #39, and was suprised to see a link to Datadyne.

It's good to see Nintendo participating in new types of advertising campaigns. One thing they should have done was to provide more information up front about what Datadyne... Read more...

Serious concerns have been raised about Nintendo violating European anti-trust laws.

Is it a me? Or is it Mario Monti? Maybe he's a just upset because we have the same name ..

Mario Interview Riddles

by Billy Berghammer - 3:24 pm EDT

A humourous Nintendo Power "interview" with Mario. Is-a-bella.

In the latest issue of Nintendo Power (May, 2000) there is an excellent E3 2000 preview. I wasn't expecting to see any major Dolphin news in there. There was one interesting thing to note.

A big GBA / Dolphin announcement at the end of May? Our headline sez it all...

Our big brothers up the street posted the story, that although Nintendo is not scheduled to make any Dolphin or GBA annoucements or showings at this years E3 (Boo! Hiss!), they did mention that they will have some sort of Dolphin / GBA goodness to speak about towards the end of May ... Why wait until then? Beats me, but it probably has something to do with when they make their end of fiscal year announcements.

For the love of all things unholy and not nice...

Rumor Alert! And actually pretty damn scary one too. Microsoft trying to work with Nintendo? The sound of this just makes me want to launch my easter dinner. Magic Box online posted a few things in relation to the Square-Microsoft deal. A couple of rumors who Microsoft tried to hook up with. One being Nintendo. I think Nintendo is doing just fine on their own.

This isn't good...

Steven Kent from MSNBC was on a mission to find out how many developers in Japan have seen Dolphin Dev. Kits. Basically what it came down to was, "Not a whole lot."
