Unless they don't mix Donkey Kong 64, Banjo and Jet Force Gemini -that would be sad- however, if they make a Zelda 64 clone with Star Fox style combined with enough stuff to make it enjoyable.That would be great.

Still, this is the way I'm thinking about it. Zelda style with Star Fox characters would be unbelievable. I like the fur additions as well. One thing I'm still wondering is whether all the original characters will be left in the game. We have General Scales and Krystal, but I haven't heard anything about Sabre.

To play Game Boy Color games on a TV you have to raid Nintendo's home office for a Wide Boy Color device. Although I think the Goldfinger 2in1 will play Game Bou Color games, but with no sound. I think. The Goldfinger is one of those external mods for the old PlayStation.

While I was very pleased (yet not surprised) with their first 4, these ones aren't quite as great. Only one that I'm really psyched about, which is Metroid Prime. I find it rather funny that IGN chooses its words like "first person action/adventure" instead of FPS. ;-) Seriously, I think a lot of people will be very surprised by this one. You might not have too much faith in Retro, but I don't think Nintendo will let them mess this one up. Next in line is Galleon. This one is definitely intriguing with an interesting graphics style. Plus, the development team is supposed to be very ambitious about making this one a great adventure title, which is something I can't turn my head away from. In comes Kameo. I do like the way IGN says its Rare's version of Pokémon. :-) However, I simply don't know enough about it yet to know whether I want it for sure or not. This is Rare, though, and they have a d*mn good track record, as far as I'm concerned, with games like Conker, Jet Force Gemini, Banjo-Kazooie, and, of course, Goldeneye. Harry Potter. Now, I really think this is an odd choice. Good to know it's an exclusive and all, but this one just doesn't grab me the way the others do. Besides that, the fact that it's being developed by the people who brought you "The World is Not Enough" (Eurocom) doesn't thrill me too much. This one's a wait-and-see, no doubt about that. That's my take.
