See, Eric? No worries. Most of this stuff is, as I suspected, nothing terribly new. I'm confused as to why Luigi's Mansion is on there, as that game has been repeatedly dubbed a demo by various sources. Sonic Adventure is listed, which is again, as I suspected (the target demographic is similar to Mario's, the Sonic game being developed for the GBA, and Sonic Team pledging support for GameCube). It's also encouraging to see Harvest Moon, Legend of the River King, FIFA, and ISS return as those are all great lesser franchises that helped make the N64 (save for River King) a more well rounded console. And it's always good to see Namco back on track...Ridge Racer 64, although developed by NST, was awesome. Of course, that's presuming all this is accurate -- which I imagine it is for the most part.

Most of this stuff is, as I suspected, nothing terribly new. I'm confused as
to why Luigi's Mansion is on there, as that game has been repeatedly dubbed a
demo by various sources. Sonic Adventure is listed, which is again, as I
suspected (the target demographic is similar to Mario's, the Sonic game being
developed for the GBA, and Sonic Team pledging support for GameCube). It's
also encouraging to see Harvest Moon, Legend of the River King, FIFA, and ISS
return as those are all great lesser franchises that helped make the N64
(save for River King) a more well rounded console. And it's always good to
see Namco back on track...Ridge Racer 64, although developed by NST, was
awesome.

Of course, that's presuming all this is accurate -- which I imagine it is for
the most part.

There is no universal rule of thumb saying 2-D games must not be converted into 3-D. Which is what you're trying to establish, and something I don't agree with at all. Frankly, the only reason Castlevania and Megaman blew is because both franchises became peripheral for Konami and Capcom respectively, as they worked on estabilishing their other franchises. Castlevania for the N64 had many moments of brilliance, and Konami proved that the Castlevania franchise could become an atmosphere intensive game, as the N64 games were. There are moments where it is downright creepy. The question is, will Konami and Capcom throw decent resources and good teams behind these projects to make them work. I think they will, sooner or later. -- Dexter S.

Have you ever played a Capcom Vs. game? Two on two, or three on three as in MvsC2, but not at the same time. Like for instance one team is Mario and Luigi and the other team is Pikachu and Samus. It starts off Mario alone vs. Samus alone. When Mario or Samus are low in health, or whenever the player chooses, Mario will tap Luigi in and Mario leaves, same deal with Samus and Pikachu. But then again, Mario and Luigi can be on the screen at the same time for a Super Special Attack or when Mario is fighting Luigi can be called in for a brief attack or defense move, like jumping in to throw a fireball or to give Mario a Magic Mushroom to raise Mario's life bar (or decrease Mario's percentage as would be in Super Smash Bros). Is that implemented in Super Smash Bros, and is that a clear enough explanation?


Oh, that.  Yes, i know what you're speaking of.

It's very hard to be 3d, and have 4 players on the screen at the same time. Powerstone 2 did it perfectly, but powerstone was orignally a 3d game anyways. Smash bros is rumored to come out soon, maybe a launch title so i doubt they will change anything.

It's a new multiplayer oriented game. Something like Rage Wars I suppose,
although I can't recall exactly all about it to make such a drastic

I found an early demo of that the SNES voxel engine that was able to run on the ZSNES. drop me a line if you want it. makes me wonder if Nintendo would bring back Commanche for the GBA. The game was canned for the SNES if you guys may recall. anyways, i'm very impressed with the GBA hardware, the more i see stuff like this, the more excited i get. -- Dexter S.

"Yes it's coming out, yes it's coming out, yes it's delayed, yes it's delayed again... hey guess what, after years and years and years of waiting for a game that was in the works since Zelda Ocarina of Time and it's about 80% complete AND it is about number 5 on the Japanese most wanted list of all games on any system has just been cancelled". Seeing as how this was bad enough http://www.starmen.net got together 10000 signatures on an online petition in a few weeks and sent it into NOA, NOJ and NP.... Not even a single word back after months and months of waiting. I'm sick of the whole Nintendo philosophy. I don't care what their excuses are, I'd rather have Earthbound 64 than 99% of all other games on any platform. Why not just release the fricken game that you've almost completed????????? Why not just let the fans who buy the games and support your company have what they want for once. Nintendo truly doesn't care and I doubt they ever will. Even if Nintendo does say that Earthbound will be coming out for Gamecube I will assume that it is not. Screwed by Nintendo in such a long and painful process for such a time that I just don't even care about Gamecube. I'd rather play PC games on the net and forget about all that garbage consoul crap. IMHO if I can't get Earthbound I don't see a point in buying the system save renting it only for Zelda. The only difference between NGC and all the other consouls is that I'll rent NGC, I won't even touch anything else.

For a Nintendo fan, you don't seem to understand the philosophies behind a Nintendo game. They don't release it until the team is satisfied. And EarthBoudn 64 was a disaster from the perspective of the development team at HAL. They had grown soft working on 2-D games and going 3-D wreck havoc on the game. Granted I'm not a big EarthBound fan, but I can see why EB64 was canned, and why another EB may not be forthcoming. The team was burned out after the EB64 debacle. Even if one is being worked on, i doubt it will come out anywhere near GameCube's launch. Making noises about it now would probably be too early. If you can't wait, go play some of the greatSquare RPGs. Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy 9 are quite good.

Much hyped titles like Messiah were critically panned, despite taking forever to make the market. Sure, Dave Perry is talented.

The only thing that will change my mind is if the first impressions of his new project is positive in the here and now.

You missed two big ones that Shiny did: the MDK series (both critically acclaimed across the boards) and Sacrifice (an awesome RTS given a whole lot of awards).

Sorry but I figured they deserved the credit for those two sets! > ;-) MDK was a mediocre game that I absolutely hated. Stiff controls and Dave Perry's tantrum about RARE allegedly stealing his Sniper Scope idea for Golden Eye will forever haunt my memories of MDK. I don't even know who stole whose idea but there is certainly bad blood between those two houses. MDK certainly isn't the hit worthy of Shiny. the more generous will put in the above average category but probably very few will remember it on the same level as Perry's work on the Genesis. MDK was certainly not the calibre of Alladin or even Earthworm Jim, both games got unanimous praise from all over. MDK2 is not by Shiny but BioWare. As for Sacrifice, you're right.

Chances are however, you may be able to get your GBA on the 11th anyway if you go late enough. Often times, stores will post a later date than the official launch date to be safe (as in, avoiding angry casual gamers/parents). This is usually the case at places like department stores and related chains that don't have a strong focus on games. I know some places didn't get N64s until the 30th; at least, as far as selling them. It all depends on the chain and the individual store; they may be holding out to play things safe, or they just might not get shipments in until then after all (location is also an important factor). Here in Texas, there's usually a two day delay on the shipping date on Japanese made games. Stuff by Id or Midway however, are usually on shelves the day of, if not before, the release date because the companies are based in Texas. Personally? I can't wait to buy Capcom's yummy $20 new Dreamcast games -- Mars Matrix and Project Justice both new for a meager $20 a pop. How cool is that?

Tuesday is generally the big day for gaming shipments; I've certainly had to
wait until Tuesdays for games...so it's not just you. Chances are however,
you may be able to get your GBA on the 11th anyway if you go late enough.
Often times, stores will post a later date than the official launch date to

I think most of the stores don't get the games until one or two days after

Hey,

Any of you interested in going to E3? Several auctions on Ebay are
currently
offering passes to the expo, and while my web site -- atE3.com -- does not
condone this, we are providing the links to the auctions ;-) The URL for it
is: http://www.ate3.com/news/016.htm

By the way, atE3.com is my new E3 news site...It will cover Everything

Any feedback? Let me know!

While there are the showfloors, media persons do attend a lot of conferences and conduct interviews, something that with public intervention would be a near impossibility. Besides, that just because the media hasn't been able to effectively cover the show yet, flooding the floor with people from the public (who serve no purpose other than to play the game for themselves) will make it utterly impossible. Hobby or not, the bottom line is this: the show isn't meant for the public. It might be more fun for those who sneak in to play the game than to read about it, but what about all those who are unable to attend? How fun is for them when they have nothing to read? Zero. The IDSA should be pressured (or some other large corporation) to open a North American show for the public much like the TGS; but again, E3 isn't that show.

E3 isn't the show that should be open to more people; a new show (much more
like the Tokyo Game Show) would be far more appropriate. While there are the
showfloors, media persons do attend a lot of conferences and conduct
interviews, something that with public intervention would be a near
impossibility. Besides, that just because the media hasn't been able to
effectively cover the show yet, flooding the floor with people from the
public (who serve no purpose other than to play the game for themselves) will
make it utterly impossible.

Hobby or not, the bottom line is this: the show isn't meant for the public.
It might be more fun for those who sneak in to play the game than to read
about it, but what about all those who are unable to attend? How fun is for
them when they have nothing to read? Zero. The IDSA should be pressured (or
some other large corporation) to open a North American show for the public
much like the TGS; but again, E3 isn't that show.

There are a lot of other factors too, but price is often a pre-requisite to acceptance by the public. And acceptance by the public is the pre-requistie for any kind of viable technology.

I don't think so. It's far better than the PS9 ad (and here I agree with

There are done in with high quality Computer graphics animation and are in a series like the GAP commercials so they complement the brand itself with the consistency of each new ad to the previous sets.. What I liked about the GBA commercials, is that they are simply surreal and that seems to be the theme of the television spots. And it is a pretty accurate diagnosis of what gaming is. Afterall, almost all the games we play are surreal.

But I think there is a fundamental weakness when it is applied with a naive notion that as long as we show footage everything will be ok.

It hardly counts, but hey, it's better than 28 seconds of irrelevant
advertising. That PS9 commercial just could've been done so much better is

You can have a travelling show the crashes the major markets, but even then, you probably reach only a fraction of the people who want to go. In Japan, they have a small country, with an efficient rail service. Almost anyone can go to Tokyo Game Show. They just hop on the Shinkansen and they're there in a few hours. Try getting someone in Chicago to fly to LA for the LAGameShow. All you get is a show packed rich spoiled brats who get their mommy to pay for the trip while the rest of the gamers, who deserve to got the show as much as the next guy stays home because he can't afford the plane ticket and living expenses. That's why a public game show is so slow in coming. It's just not that viable. Whereas the TGS can reach almost all of its potential customerbase with each show, a similar American show would have to travel from city to city and it still won't reach the penetration the TGS or SpaceWorld has on the fanbase. -- Dexter S.

Nintendo's line of GBC  game commercials are done like that.

Some games get more gameplay footage.  Kirby Title and Tumble got a lot, since part of the catch was to show how the game reacts to the tilting.

E3 is a trade show. There are very few consumer shows. None to the scale of what TGS is. It's not a lame excuse. It's a matter of logistics. You're suggestion of having the show move from city to city is even worse. Gamers could potentially wait for years before the show come to their city.

That's actually what I figure. Nonetheless, I agree that some show is better
than none. I think once the movie industry's revenues get pounded by the
gaming industry's by a larger margin, we may see more respect for the gaming
industry. Provided no one dies in the next few years either, because even
natural deaths are linked to video games. Everyone knows that.
 
 

The movie industry doesn't have public screenings of movies either.  Sundance, Cannes and all those film festivals are pretty much out of reach of the common people.   The best you can hope for is a local film festival organized by local organizers.

No. I'm saying because of a logistics problem, having a consumer show would be difficult, therefore, my conclusion is, it would be difficult to have one. or in other words, don't hold your breath for it.

In Japan, people from distant cities can travel to Tokyo for the show relatively inexpensively. To do that in America would mean flying to the location and not many consumers. Yes, they can do it in a city each year. But it is increadily inefficient because you only cater to gamers in that area only, the rest of the American Gamers, 90%, 95%, whatever that number may be, have to sit be the sidelines and not be able to attend because attending would mean several hundred dollars down the drain. Money that I'm sure people would rather spend on games. The TGS is successful, and independent shows like SpaceWorld are viable because Tokyo is accessible by train.

But your logic is extremely flawed. Your saying that it's better to have no show (and hence, ZERO access) that it is have a show that people may not have access to during certain years. Still, using the size of the country as an excuse to not have a show is very lame. If some really wants to go, they could if they planned ahead. As it stands now, people have to sneak into a trade show like E3. So, just because some people can't make it, no gets to go?? What kind of lousy logic is that? Stryder Don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say its better to have no show. I'm saying its a matter of logistics. The transportation system in a big country like the United States makes a show less viable. You have gamers spread out through the continent. The American market as a whole may be huge, but taken individually, even markets like LA could be hard pressed to rival the TGS. So there's no will on the part of the IDSA for a consumer show because its just so complicated, so expensive and so very inefficient. Until the transportation system improves or the industry pressure and money is there to set up these shows, its not going to happen. -- Dexter S.

Date: 09 May 2001 13:17:26 -0700 Here's the relevant press release. REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 9, 2001 -- Electronic Arts (EA) (Nasdaq "ERTS"), the world's leading independent video games software publisher and developer, today announced that it will bring its powerful portfolio of game titles, including Madden NFL? 2002, to GameCube, Nintendo's next-generation video game console. EA's worldwide studios have plans for 10 GameCube titles. Some EA titles in development for the Nintendo GameCube include SSX snowboarding, NBA Street Basketball from EA SPORTS BIG?, and the world's best-selling sports video game franchise, FIFA soccer. Madden NFL 2002 will be featured in EA's booth at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles on May 17. Last year, Madden NFL 2001 was the best selling football game and a breakaway hit on the 128-bit console. The Nintendo GameCube will launch in the U.S. in early November. "EA takes a systematic approach to evaluating new hardware platforms, and we're very excited about the potential for GameCube, says Larry Probst, EA's chairman and CEO. "Nintendo has a proven track record in the areas of vision, innovation and execution that positions the GameCube to be a major force in the industry." Nintendo of America President Minoru Arakawa says, "Electronic Arts is one of the world's best developers. We're thrilled to have the variety of games they are creating for the Nintendo GameCube, especially the sports games which appeal so well to the teen and older players." As a dedicated gameplay system, NINTENDO GAMECUBE delivers new forms of interactive fun for players and offers the easiest development environment for game creators. The system's embedded memory, proprietary optical disc and innovative controller were designed to optimize the gameplay experience. NINTENDO GAMECUBE will launch in Japan in September 2001 and in N. America in November 2001. TheBump@aol.com wrote: > Electronic Arts has confirmed plans for TEN, count them, TEN GameCube products.
