Could it be?! Could the entirely expected actualy be happening?!

NintendoExpress upon learning from various developer sources of theirs, have come to the conclusion that Dolphin may launch as late as September 2001. Click on the link to get the full lowdown, as NintendoExpress have also learnt that full development kits have been shipped to various third-party companies as well as further confirmation on a D-Pad's inclusion on the Dolphin's controller.

Huzzah! Rare's Killer Instinct arcade game comes to your computer!

...right through my modem onto my hard drive, it seems. Looks like I got my birthday wish after all, heh heh. Even this "old" version runs as smooth as butter on my mere 466 mhz. This one doesn't have sound, though. It looks very, very good, to say the least. Arcade perfect. I'll have the full impressions up soon.

GBA will be there

European press trade only event, ECTS, which is to be held in London this September, is similar to E3 where companies display/unveil their product line up for the following year. The company handling the PR for the event, Bastion, has revealed that Nintendo will unveil the GBA to the European press,... Read more...

What is this thing going to be called?

Well as soon as people started accepting StarCube as the name for Nintendo's next console it looks like it may not turn out to be that at all. Whilst many staffers here at the Planet have remained sceptical about the name StarCube our friends over at IGN64 seem to think that the jury is definitely... Read more...

mmmmm, Peaches and Cream.....

Developed by Hudson, a new RPG for the Game Boy Advance called Momotaro Matsuri is scheduled to appear at the upcoming Spaceworld show in Japan. The game is part of the popular Hudson 'Peach-boy' series and the story centers around a young lazy child who must change his behavior in order to save his... Read more...

Max is a crazy man!

Hopped online today to see Mike Hrusecky had emailed the Planet staff with his discovery of two recently filed Nintendo patents. I excitedly rushed to check it out thinking this was a surefire scoop. I shamelessly fell into frenzy, "could these be system mock-ups?!?" Of course, they weren't. My hopes... Read more...

PETERMAINCO r0xx0r!

Yesterday, IGN64 put up a speech given by Peter Main at Nintendo's recent Gamers' Summit. Main talked about the growth of video games industry and touted the continued success of N64, Gameboy & celebrated phenomenal sales of Perfect Dark & Pokemon. Not surprising, Main gave no indication of what would... Read more...

GBA news will be at GenCon. Wait, the headline already says that. Oh well.

Straight outta my hometown, more news about GBA pops up at GenCon. If you don't know what GenCon is...it's probably the largest Role Playing/Trading Card Game convention in the US. Or...so I've heard. Funny, I lived in brewtown for almost 26 years, and never went to GenCon. Video Game/Computer RPG's seem to be popping up a bit more there. Looks like I should go home more often. :)

it pours locusts! I mean GBAs.

It's a really good day for GBA that's for sure. Nintendo has updated their Space World 2000 section with more GBA screens, as well as screens for a new N64 game you will kill for. Sin and Punishment.

How sweet this would be!

Time to start flippin' burgers that much faster kids. Looks it'll cost you around $300 to get you both the Dolphin and GBA. This is not including the accessories, controllers, and of course...all the freakin' games you're going to buy. Gamecenter spoke with Nintendo's George Harrison about price points,... Read more...

Our friend, RareNet Trevor was just in a bad car accident...

I don't know how the hell I missed this, but Trevor from Rarenet was in a horrible car crash this past Sunday. Our hearts go out to him and his family. Trevor and Dan from Rarenet were some of the coolest guys we got a chance to meet this year at E3. As well as some of the toughest to beat in Mario Tennis. ;)

mmmmmm, Game Boy Advance pictures. MMMmmmmmmm....

Hehehe, get those salivatory glands ready boys and girls... SpaceWorld is still a little over a week away and yet the lid has already begun to come off, at least for GBA. Check it out, GameSpot, care of the fine Japanese Koro-Koro Comics magazine, have unveiled for your very eyes the first publicly available GBA screens!

Funny comes from special cows.

Mario and several other Video Game mascots appeared before congress Monday to demand a better work environment. Head on over to The Onion for all of the breaking news!

Granted this is neither Dolphin news, or a true story. But if you are having a Sh&*%y day, this will surely put a smile on your face. :)

Ken Lobb is cool, but not as cool as Peter Main.

Happy! I hope so! As recently quoted, Ken Lobb offered, "All of you who are attending the Space World pre-show announcement August 24 will be very, very happy."

I would like to announce, on behalf of the PlanetN2000 community, "Ken...please! Make us happy brutha!"

Happy is good. I like happy. Happy thoughts of Dolphin are good. Catch my drift? Space World is weeks away folks! Get ready to start get N-happy!

That man is old and wrinkly, like Yoda. But the comparasion ends there. Unless he starts turning green.

This just in. It seems the number one politician-that-bothers-gamers is now Gore's running mate. I'll see if I can dig up some more info, or defect to Mother Russia.

Here's a bit from CNN.com ...

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (CNN) -- Vice President Al Gore and Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman --... Read more...

This conversion process is making my head spin.

Sources close to Nintendo say the Dolphin will still be playable with a D-Pad! So what was all this noise about the Dolphin controller not having a D-Pad? That could be still be true.

Our sources tell us the GBA will be able to be used as a controller for Dolphin as well. The GBA will connect to the Dolphin either through the controller port or a separate connection. Since the GBA has a D-Pad....Taadaa...instant D-Pad.

Shiggy is cool!

With recent Dolphin news, Nintendo fans have been hit hard and fast. First came Yamauchi and his talk of shifting focus onto the GBA. Then came word of no-playable Dolphin at Sapceworld, which seemd to further back these claims. Well leave it to Miyamoto to actually still give hope to the many fans out there, as Core Magazine asked the questions that needed answering.

You already said "goodbye" to RE-O for N64.... so say "Hi" to it again in Next-gen form!

The fine folks at Gamespy have dug a little further into the Resident Evil Dolphin rumor, and have come up with some interesting tidbits. Looks like there is a reason RE-0 was pulled from the N64 line up. It's hitting Dolphin! Well...er...we already kind of knew this. It's just further confirmation. And Dolphin ain't dead yet baby. Clean out those poopy pants my friends.

What kind of benefits does your average game developer get? Well, of course you don't know, but we'll tell you...

Fatbabies.com, one our fave sites around here (or one of mine, at least) recently held a site poll among anonymous employees of north American game developmers about the benefits the said employers provide. The results are certainly interesting. Here's the article...

Thanks again to everyone... Read more...

Bummer! Nintendo has just let it be known that Dolphin will not be playable at Spaceworld. What a gyp! Maybe we shouldn't be surprised...

According to NOA, there will be NO Dolphin titles playable at Spaceworld this year. GBA yes, and Dolphin will be revealed (video is still possible), but Dolphin will not be playable at Spaceworld this year. Personally I'm guessing Mario isn't finished.

PlanetN2000 will still be attending Spaceworld... Read more...
