Ja ik heb op het moment me n64 weer naast de tv staan en ik vermaak me nog prima met perfect dark, lylat wars, 1080 enzo.
En aangezien metriod, zelda, star fox enz. er allemaal gaaf uit ziet, lijkt het mij wel een leuk ding.

Verder komt Animal Crossing dus niet uit in Europa :

Things are looking worse for a local release of Animal Crossing with Nintendo commenting today that it will never make it to Europe. This is bad news for Australia too, as we rely on Europe for their PAL games.

Nintendo said that there would be problems with localisation (remember, entire seasons would have to be flipped in the case of Australia, but not for Europe, and the loss of Thanksgiving would cause more problems with the loss of Franklin and his furniture set) and the fact that the next game is well into production, so it would be pretty pointless in putting so much effort into the first game when they are hard at work on the second.

Nintendo commented that Animal Crossing 2 (tentative title) will become the new way of communicating for the console generation. It will see a happiness-themed community of friends the likes of which have never been imagined.

While this isn't all bad (it looks like we will get Animal Crossing...eventually), it seems to be one more Nintendo game - again - that we miss out on. And this time, it's not just a game, but a whole series of e-reader cards and Nintendo game giveaways. Ah well, we can only hope that the Nintendo games in Animal Crossing 1 will come back in Animal Crossing 2.

When asking Nintendo Australia for a comment on this, I was told that they do not currently have any information on Animal Crossing or when or if it will be released.

Nintendo Of Europe has confirmed that the Zelda bonus disc which was released in Japan and coming to the states, is finally being released in Europe.
NoE probably realising, without confirming this disc, there will be probably riots and fits around the continent. At last, Nintendo has seen sence and releasing the disk which they refer to "our disc"
Marco Hein told the eager press:

"Of course we know that it's a very exciting opportunity to have this demo disc, so were playing around with it and have very exciting plans, which we'll announce at a later date."

Ura Zelda and Ocarina of time will most likely be released in Europe. Don't forget the PAL versions of 'Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker is to be released on 3rd of May 2003 (GC's first European birthday!)

Van IGN over de GB SP

But what's surprising is how comfortable the shoulder buttons are. In pictures, the L and R buttons look awkwardly small. But the way they're positioned on the system, they're extremely usable and responsive.

And even though the system returns to the vertical orientation of past Game Boy systems, I believe the Game Boy Advance SP's button layout and smaller size actually makes the system more comfortable to hold and play than the wider, more spread out Game Boy Advance original.

Maar je moet er wel Zelda voor Pre-orderen dan?

Here is a news article for all you techs out there. SN has developed a cheap and high-speed NGC development kit...

Games development is set to get cheaper and quicker, following the announcement today of a new development tool for the Nintendo GameCube, by SN Systems Ltd, the leading provider of development tools to the console games industry.

The new hardware, developed as part of a collaboration between SN Systems and Nintendo, can be used with SN's development tools "ProDG for Nintendo GameCube" to build, debug, view and optimise games.

Supported by cutting-edge technology, the new SN-TDEV enables data transfer at 3MBytes/s, making life much easier and more efficient for games developers. The hardware also includes 48MB of memory, optical disk drive and USB2 connection to a PC.

As an addition to the ProDG development tools, SN-TDEV provides a cost-effective alternative solution for games developers providing their complete hardware and software needs in one portfolio. As well as accelerating the games development process, the new SN-TDEV will reduce development hardware costs by up to 60 per cent.

Commenting on this new product, Andy Beveridge, Director at SN Systems, said:
"The SN-TDEV is great news for GameCube game developers providing a low-priced alternative to current hardware solutions and greatly increasing the speed and efficiency of the games development process. The introduction of SN-TDEV marks a new stage in tools development for SN Systems as we continue to consolidate our position as the prime provider of both software and hardware solutions for console games development. This new product also helps to further strengthen SN Systems' relationship with Nintendo, confirming the company's growing international market position in delivering development tools to the majority of games developers worldwide."

Hisashi Yuasa, General Manager Nintendo Corporation commented:
"Already firmly established in the games industry, we are delighted to announce the SN-TDEV is now being developed and sold as a tool for the Nintendo GameCube. We are always looking for new ways to enhance and improve the games development process behind the creation of all our console games and are very excited about the work we have undertaken with SN Systems to produce the new SN-TDEV product."
