Max admits that he is not, afterall, omnipotent. He also now owes all our readers a Coke.

Well, I'd like to say that as Editor-in-Chief of PlanetN2000, I am the ultimate Smarty Man of Smarty Men! Of course, time and again I am exposed for the phony I am -so it's a good thing I don't boast like that! Early this morning (and I mean like nearly 12 hours ago) I found out that Left Field Studios... Read more...

Mr. Driller 2 for GBA launch. Mr. Driller = Good!

Oh man! The GBA love continues to flow. Namco has announced that they will have Mr. Driller 2 ready for launch on GBA! Yes, I am down with Drillin!

If you have a Dreamcast and like puzzle games you'll want this game. I've played the hell out of the DC version and would highly recommend this title. No word yet if this title will be reaching US shores...but in my opinion this is another great addition to the Japanese GBA launch line up.

For the year 2000... Nintendo had 4x as much revenue as Sony and Sega. Who ever said the N64 was a failure?

Could Matsushita's rewritable SD Cards be part of the NGC/GBA connection?

Ed Shih told me he'd post this last night, though I guess he was out partying too long and forgot. You know what that means — he's FIRED! Actually, it means that I have to do it... It also means I will have to send Louie to beat up Ed and take away his medication (firing is too good for that pansy).

Pokémon GBA/NGC for 2002?

With news coming thick and fast as to what titles are headed for GBA there's one that hasn't been shown yet but will most likely make one of the biggest splashes (the metaphorical ones) once released. That title of course is Pokémon Advance. According to the January 18 edition of Nihon Keizai Shinbun... Read more...

Metroid has been confirmed for GBA? Well that's what the folks of The Nintendo Project say. Their source? A Nintendo of Europe press release. Nintendo of Europe? Hmmmmm.

Nintendo of America denies all rumors of this. Could this be a leak of news by NOE? When was the last time you heard something from Nintendo of Europe? Oh well.

Nintendo came up with some new color schemes for the GBA, Billy... well, he thinks they SUCK!

THESE COLORS SUCK!

This has been bugging the hell out of me. Granted I'll buy one anyway...but... Read more...

It's Martin Luther King day, a time to honor a great civil rights leader.

Since many of us have the day off today, I think it’s important to remember why. I would feel remiss if I didn’t mention Martin Luther King Jr. today in such a public forum. Although MLK was not a perfect man and by no means started the Civil Rights Movement, or made the progress he did single-handedly, he was an genuinely amazing human being who inspired us all. Let us never forget his sacrifice, or his dream.

Looks like GCN might not be the only thing colorized for the ladies.

Over at the GBDojo, one of their readers, Furanky, was cool enough to send in pics from a Japanese Trade-Show.Check out this picture to see a Pink GBA along with giant green-prototype game carts out of it and another silver GBA nearby. A pink GBA to match the pink GameCube? Neat! Naturally, there's been no word on whether or not this is a final color for GBA, in either US or Japan.
