Some crumbs of news at least some of you should find interesting:
* New SP to be released in Japan by the end of the month. With the release of Naruto, apparently (never heard of it) - an orange colour with a symbol on it (somewhere)
* Mario Tennis not to be online after all. No, not even a little bit
* ([URL]http://tales.namco.com/preorder.html[/URL]) Preorder Tales of Symphonia at >assorted game retial outlets< and get an an amazing present!
Which are actually pretty decent.
* From last year, (edit - in America, mind) GC software sales are up by about 20%, but GBA's down by the same amount.
* And, in Japan, there's an overall slump in the game market. But it's due to slowing down (muchly, at last) of PS2 sales. GBA / GC actually doing pretty good.

I know, isn't it awful? Well Nintendo and being online don't go together obviously otherwise it would have been a success, especially if Super Smash Bros melee was ever online as well, now that would be awsome, also Mario kart double dash, way too frantic on races with up to 16 people.
Mario Tennis not online!?!!?!?!?! I was going to buy a Broadband adapter aswell.

Well for me I just have to wait up to 25days til I get my copy of Tales. Also hopefully i can get my copy of Baten Kaitos just in time for christmas, as it's out 15th of November in the states. Tales from the main trailer looks like a really huge anime' movie in it's cutscenes, and the characters and battle look great. I also like the idea of the battle system where you can have friends control the other 3 chracters if they choose or let the comp do it for them and they just press a button. As an added bonus the multiplayer part is great.
Ok.. just done that. Verr verr nice. Kaitos looks great, and Symphonia is.. amazing. Looks like a high-end anime. God I wants it now I does..
If you want to see Tales of Symphonia and Baten Kaitos in action just donwload some of IGN.com's in game footage, the first 4 on the ToS page are American version and for Baten Kaitos the first 4 are still japanese.
Definately, I'm an RPG nut and being a Ninty am severely bored. Skies of Arcadia.. Golden Sun.. there isn't much choice for top quality RPGs on Nintendo concoles, and I hated Crystal Chronicles.
Kaitos looks great, and I have very, very high hopes for Symphonia. Would probably pre-order now, but I have no money whatsoever right now :S

No, but still it's better to wait 10-20 days shipping than to wait 5 months til it's out in Europe (assuming it's out in december as it's meant to be out this year anyway).
I am also going to pre-order Baten kaitos from that site as it's actually listed there, it's out November 15th, but not many BK site say that. Are you someone who wants it badly like me?

Obsessive :P
If they have to ship it in from America.. you're not going to get it on that date anyway.. right?

Hey have a look at this page that will become pointless in 11 days, http://www.freewebs.com/ fawkesgarde/stuff/countdown.htm
I was happy shocked.. tis indeed a great offer. I am intrested in those art books that come free in the other offer. Anyone know what they contain? (Yes, obviously "art".. before some smartass points that out). :D
