Ha! And to think that they got mentioned in Nintendo Power and a little

This one featuring the Voxel engine that was so popular in the mid 90s with Novalogic's Commache titles. http://pocket.ign.com/previews/16391.html I downloaded the movie and the voxel terrain is impressive, in fact, far more impressive than the Voxel engine the SFX2 chip could do on the SNES. 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.

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.

He did wonders with Alladin on the Genesis and made a name for his start-up with Earthworm Jim, but past that, he hasn't made anything out of the ordinary to warrant that anyone give him the respect he had six years ago. And its not like he went into retirement for six years. He has been working on all these games that never really lived up to the cult of character surrounding Mr. Perry. The only thing that will change my mind is if the first impressions of his new project is positive in the here and now. Not the "if could turn out to be cool" treatment Next Generation gave to so many of his games, but then ended up falling far short anyways.
