Yes, this arrived through my letter box this morning, with a Resident Evil Survival Handbook to go with it.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted takes the theme for the front cover this issue, while inside you can see what we're going to see from Nintendo at this year's E3, if you don't know already. Mario is next to be appearing in The Sims... And somewhere, there's link to footage of a kid who couldn't get enough of the game; so he went and did us al by completing Super Mario 64 (N64) in less than 20 MINUTES!! :o
Ah, here it is: [URL]http://www.archive.org/movies/gamevideos.php[/URL]
Watch the video, then try it on DS!" Erm, yeah, okay....?
They've also taken a deep look into the forthcoming Fire Emblen game on the 'Cube, there's more on the PocketFami, heading our way from Japan, and there's a review of the Japanese version of the brand-new Harvest Moon title, which looks very nice indeed, taking a hint from The Wind Waker's point of view. So, here are the reviews, this month:
Harvest Moon: Song of Happiness (JAP) - 85
Donkey Konga 3 (JAP) - 80
Erm...
Well, that's all we got for the GameCube this month! :S
So, let's taken a dive into NGC Pocket, where you'll find all the latest Nintendo DS titles:
Touch! Kirby (JAP) - 5
Electroplankton (JAP) - 4
Yoshi's Touch & Go - 4
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith - 2
Wario Ware: Twisted - 5
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories - 4
Yoshi's Universal Gravitation - 2
Mario Party Advance - 2 (Surely, it should be 'DS' though, right?)
Now, I know what time of year it is, but 2 reviews - two JAPANESE reviews - surely, something's gone badly wrong somewhere?
Usually, we'd expect something now. It might not be very good, it might even be an EA game, but I find this rather dissapointing that there is nothing else out this month.
Some sadistic little beggars were probably celebrating the Cube's latest birthday only last week (I forget how old it is) - just think back to what was available at this very time 3 years ago...

Hmmm maybe. Then again the DS is gonna be filled with these more "other" type things. That aren't just games.

I was told it was ingenious.
It's stupid that they should rate Electroplankton so highly; it's a damn tech demo.

Depends if you see it that way.
I don't really care because there's tonnes of games out already.
If you're worried about sales I wouldn't be. The DS is doing mega worldwide and the Gamecube software is doing pretty good.
Resident Evil 4's second shipment has just come in so sales are continuing and Donkey Konga 2 will probably sell rather well.

It's the new pill I'm taking. Leave me out of this :'(.
NOE are terrible, they really are. Donkey Konga 2 as the main Nintendo title this summer. Please.
But then after march it is always like this. We should be used to it by now.
Maybe play some of the unfinished games from Christmas.
Geist is due for September.

If only the same could be said for the Cube and DS. No wonder the Ninty forum has been kinda windswept these last few days.

The past few months and the coming months have actually been some of the most busy of the Xbox's life for shear amount of quality games.
