The 2nd half of IGNcube's 2 part interview with Perrin Kaplan and Jim Merrick of NOA.
IGNcube has put up Part 2 of its big interview with Perrin Kaplan and Jim Merrick of NOA. There a few juicy bits amidst all the banter and dodging...
- It seems that the GameCube's mini-optical disk may be used in future systems...maybe even a handheld. While not confirming anything, of course, Merrick asserts that "...Nintendo doesn't want to invest in a media format for the short term."
- Nintendo may announce some game confirmations and third-party developers before E3...
- Although some of the Spaceworld footage was full-motion video, Nintendo is sticking to its support of real-time cinema scenes.
- Kaplan confirms that the 64MB SD Memory Card adaptor is intended to bring writability functions to the GameCube.
Good stuff...and there are a few other items of interest regarding Square (nothing new, unfortunately), the console's internal structure, and online strategy. I highly recommend you head over to IGNcube and check out the whole thing.
