Hawkeye Made with Real Juice Eternal since: Dec 2002	Apr 02, 04 at 3:13am ^ PAPER MARIO 2!!! And other game announcements
	ignore him, he's not the shiniest apple in the bunch... Paper Mario 2 confirmed, Def Jam Vendetta 2 confirmed, Metal Arms 2 Scrapped, Har har har lets "laugh" at the April Fools Joke... quote News: Paper Mario 2 Confirmed! By Iun - Apr 1st 2004 14:06 ------------------------------------------------- Nintendo have confirmed Paper Mario 2! This weeks' edition of the Japanese games magazine "Famitsu" comes with confirmation of a new Paper Mario game in development! The sequel to the cult N64 RPG is provisionally titled Mario Story 2 -the Japanese name for the first game was Mario Story. The game will take place using a similar 2D graphics engine to the original game and is apparently being developed by the developer of the original game, Intelligent Systems. In Paper Mario, players took on the role of the pleasant porky plumber in a 2D style RPG with a menu-driven battle system, it was released towards the end of the N64s' life, so few got to play it. But those that did, however, lauded it as one of the most enjoyable games in the N64s' library. More as we have it! quote News: Def Jam Vendetta 2 Announced By Tim - Apr 1st 2004 15:09 -------------------------------------------- Today EA and Def Jam announced they will be releasing a sequel to their fighting game Def Jam Vendetta. Head inside for details and screens! Electronic Arts is again partnering with urban music and lifestyle powerhouse Def Jam to bring gamers Def Jam Vendetta II (working title), the ultimate hip-hop-fueled fighting video game. Currently in development under the EA Games brand, Def Jam Vendetta II features more than 70 characters, including more than 35 of the most renowned artists and personalities in hip-hop today, including Busta Rhymes, Lil' Kim, Ludacris, Method Man, Redman, Slick Rick, Snoop Dogg, Carmen Electra and many more. Def Jam Vendetta II challenges players to step into the shoes of a ruthless NYC street fighter battling for control of the hip-hop underground. The game features an all-new fighting engine allowing gamers to customize multiple fighting styles as the new immersive story mode takes the action from the ring to the streets. "As the line between games and traditional forms of entertainment continues to blur, EA will continue to partner with strong brands like Def Jam to redefine the rules with innovative new titles like Def Jam Vendetta II," said Jeff Karp, Vice President of Marketing for EA. "The Def Jam-EA relationship is once again on the forefront of industry-leading entertainment with Def Jam Vendetta II," added Kevin Liles, President and CEO, Def Jam. "By fusing hip-hop culture with innovative, addictive gameplay, Def Jam VENDETTA II is the ultimate interactive hip hop lifestyle product. It redefines the gaming experience." Def Jam Vendetta II will be published and distributed by EA for the PS2, Xbox and Nintendo GameCube. The game is being developed by EA Canada in conjunction with Japan-based AKI Corporation for a scheduled ship in fall 2004. Slick Rick? W00t! quote News: Metal Arms Sequel Snuffed By Tim - Apr 1st 2004 17:52 ------------------------------------------ The planned Metal Arms sequel has been canned by Vivendi-Universal, despite the critical praise given to the original, released during Christmas 2003. Swingin' Ape's art director Scott Goffman reportedly said /p> "Unfortunately it's true, VU Games is not interested in a Metal Arms sequel at this time. We have a ton of ideas for Metal Arms 2, including new character, weapon, and environment designs, so we're hopeful that we'll be able to come back to the Metal Arms universe sometime in the future. "Meanwhile, we're working on several potential projects; I can't give any details at this time, but they'll definitely have the same level of action and quality that people loved in Metal Arms. Well, the few people that bought it, anyways." Have Vivendi dug another grave? Maybe the worse choise since Crash on the Gamecube. So it looks like other great game has been shot down. Written by Dan Odgers Sounds like it was due to poor sales of the original... And finally, look how funny Cube-Europe are... let's all laugh.... har har har har quote News: Retro Collection Cubed! By Tim - Apr 2nd 2004 00:53 ----------------------------------------- Nintendo announce a whole new range of games in one emulation GameCube disc, perfect for those retro fans! Nintendo have been known for a long history of games, starting way back with Donkey Kong in the arcades. They have since evolved, up to the likes of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and have always remained top quality. Now Nintendo have announced good news for those who grew up in the 80s with the NES games. The most popular NES and SNES games are to be emulated on the GameCube, from The Legend of Zelda : A Link to the Past to Super Metroid. For those who are worrying it will be Nintendo only don't panic. For the last few years Nintendo have been teaming up with other developers, and this is one of the times it will pay off. Popular non-Nintendo titles, such as Final Fantasy III and Mega Man X will be released on the disc.A rundown can be found below, however there are over 500 titles on the disc, and Nintendo are yet to release all the information.

The Cube-Europe staff has fooled you... well most of you! We hope you had a laugh with our April's Fool joke. We sure did ;-) All from Cube-Europe.com ------------------- quote The Living Angelus Wii U is garbage, just like Wii was garbage, just like GameCube was garbage, just like N64 was garbage.

	News: Mario Arrested for Murder In a FBI sting operation Mario, star of such games as Donkey Kong and Super Mario Brothers, was arrested today for a unspecified number murders, and attempted murders.. John Ashcroft revealed the shocking news earlier today. "I am pleased to announce the capture of one of America's most vile and despicable criminals our great nation as ever seen. Thanks to the combined forces of the FBI, STARS and the government of the Mushroom Kingdom, our children can sleep easy tonight." Mario is being charged for the string of Goomba killings that have ravaged the Mushroom Kingdom for almost 20 years. Police officials said he was able to elude police for so long by the use of clever alias' such as Jumpman, and constantly changing his appearance with better graphics. "The real break in the case is when Nintendo decided to stop focusing on graphics so much, and more on gameplay. The lack in innovation in graphical quality allowed us to finally get a clear look at who we were dealing with, and what exactly he looked like." Said FBI agent Tim Rooks. The FBI joined the investigation earlier this year after determining that the recent plague of child violence and seizures were tied to Mario's Charles Manson like control over his follows. "This capture just goes to show you that even the cutest of videogame characters are a threat to our freedom and safety. We are sending a message that violent videogame characters everywhere can and will be persecuted by the United States of America" said Senator Joseph Lieberman. ---- So glad Mario is off our streets. Phantasy Lord you dumb wad of cheap toilet paper, you beat me with Paper Mario 2! All I can hope is that Paper Mario 2 is better than the first. >> shudder

	Just great...last thing we need is Lieberman on all our butts again. And to think I almost had a run-in with him a few months back! (My job took me to his office-thankfully he wasn't there). And yes, I know that's probably an April Fool's Joke.

	I could use one of those too-I could transfer all the data from my 251s and 59s and still have some 600 blocks left! All those new releases are making my head spin already-2 more Pokemon?!? How many more can they make? I'll definitely be in line for those classic NES Games-sounds like they may be ports of this "Famicom Mini" line they've been putting out in Japan. I like the sounds of some of those other titles too...now if they just would hurry up and bring Mobile Suit Gundam over!

	True.Actually, I read an article a few months back on IGN and they said that Bandai is supposed to be making a Gundam game for the Cube.Most of the other Gundam games they're planning to make will be for the PS2 as usual.I think it's name was Senshitachi No Kiseki or something.Don't remember if this one is for the Cube or the PS2.

	What somebody told me in the Gundam Forum (I think the guy was one of the Gundam video game mods) was that they are still working on one but it may be 2005 before it comse out-the next one will likely be for GBA (Kyo Daikun's put some screenshots up in the Gundam forum). I know the GCN version's title was to be "The Ace Pilot", but that may change-Nintendo's been listing the release date as "announced". Bandai is working on the game, though-it was originally to have been out last fall.

	Breaking: Silicon Knights Developing Realistic Zelda for GameCube Nintendojo is excited to report tonight that Silicon Knights is working with legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto to fulfill Cube owners' wishes and create a non-cel-shaded version of The Legend of Zelda. Just a few months ago, SK President Denis Dyack hinted that this might indeed be the case in a magazine interview: "I'd love to do a realistic, mature take on Zelda. Ah, I shouldn't talk about this."

	Quote - IGN Cube ------------------------- April 02, 2004 - Last year Konami released one of the most innovative titles on the GBA. Brainchild of Hideo Kojima, Boktai: The Sun Is In Your Hand used a built-in light sensor to charge up the in-game weapons, forcing GBA owners out into the daylight. Now it's been taken one step further. Kojima's Boktai team have been reunited to again work on a light-sensitive game. This time for GameCube "I know it sounds horrendous" said Kojima when we interviewed him earlier today, "But I really think it will work. After all, didn't the original force players into a hugely uncomfortable scenario?". When quizzed on whether or not he was simply trying to force gamers into places where they could easily be mugged for the valuable consoles and equipment they were carrying, Hideo simply gave an evil grin and replied "Why should I do such a thing? I love my gamers. He refused to comment on his highly profitable second-hand Gameboy business. No release date has been specified as yet, but we Kojima hinted that it would be released next spring, perhaps in late March or very early April. ------------------------- ------------------- Wild World Wiki\|Last.fm

	quote Planet Gamecube News Article: Fire Emblem for GameCube Revealed! News Date: 04/01/2004 Nintendo's epic strategy RPG comes to the Cube. The Shonen Jump magazine in Japan has pulled the wraps off the first GameCube installment of Nintendo's mega-hit strategy/RPG franchise Fire Emblem. Fire Emblem recently broke out of Japan with a release of the newest title in the series on Game Boy Advance here in the US. The series is now making the jump to GameCube. The new title features an isometric camera view on a 3D medieval styled world. For now all we know about the game's story is that it is subtitled "Trial of the Blue Flame." PGC will have more on this exciting news just as soon as we get all the information translated, so stay tuned! Sweet, I can see some sort of connectivity between the one for GCN and the one for GBA, it's inevitable. ------------------- HOW CAN SHE SLAP?!

	That will almost certainly be a HUGE seller. Fire Emblem's been extremely hot in Japan, and has been in demand here for so long. The fact that characters from that title are in SSBM can only help a GCN version when it does come out stateside.

	Here's a pretty cool controller which I found out about at ign.com.Too bad it might not make it to the States. quote ign.com Now we have one of Hori's products that probably won't come to America: the Digital Controller for GameCube. So what's special about the DC? As you can see in the pics, this controller is roughly modeled after the old Nintendo pads. Certain elements had to be changed in order to accommodate the GCN control scheme, but the basic design is seriously retro. The most striking thing about the DC is that it lacks an analog stick, hence the name. Hori designed this pad with the Game Boy Player in mind. The analog stick is basically superfluous for many of these games, so Hori skipped it. Granted, you don't only sit down in front of your GCN to play GBA games, but why not have a controller that would ease the play? The D-pad on the GCN controller is hardly something that gamers look forward to using. Even Mary Jane, portrait of patience and flexibility, has publicly averred her hatred for the GCN D-pad. The DC D-pad is much larger than the official version. The shape is the same, but it's almost twice as big. This is surely a benefit for GBA games that demand a digital D-pad, but it is also a welcome addition for several straight GBA titles, e.g. SCII or T.H.U.G.. I haven't used the pad with any games, but I am assuming that the D-pad will at least be an improvement over the original. The main buttons are shaped identically to Nintendo's. Enlarge the close-up and you'll see that the button height is even the same. The Z button, naturally, had to be relocated. It is now to the left of the main buttons. This placement makes sense, but it is situated somewhat far away. Notice in the pics that it is almost in the center of the pad. Well see if it proves to distant for the review. The shoulder buttons continue the old school theme. The long, narrow buttons are span much of the back. They pivot on the outer edge; the center point travels the greatest distance during depression. Like many of Hori's devices, the DC is built like a tank. I can see why the company got Nintendo's blessing in Japan. It feels more like an official pad than a third-party effort. It is also extremely comfortable. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but the pad feels quite natural as soon as you picky it up. This controller reminds me a lot of the SNES one.Too bad the color scheme's different.They should release one with the same color scheme as the SNES controller for those nostalgic gamers.
