. A brand new Goldeneye level has been discovered, The Citadel is an old test map still in the Goldeneye game... find out all about it here: http://goldeneye.detstar.com/citadelfound/index.asp

. Pikmin 2 is now due in August, it has rapidly become the most delayed game on the Gamecube now due for a release 9 months after the original date of November 2003.

. Burnout 3 is apparently not coming to Gamecube at all anymore.... whether this is once again mis-quoted crap or a defiant Criteon who knows but it is a sad day for Nintendo gamers.

. Resident Evil 4 appears pretty strange. The hero of the story, Leon Kennedy, is hired by the U.S. President to guard his daughter. She is then kidnapped and held hostage in South America. Leon then travels to a South American village to rescue her. He encounters hostile villagers, who are under some sort of spell/trance, and proceed to hunt him down. Umbrella has apparently been destroyed.

. Nintendo will not unveil the next Gamecube until E3 2005

. In the mean time Nintendo will concentrate on the Nintendo DS and a yet un-announced secret prephiral.

. More information on Resident Evil 4 reveals that the old control systems remains in tact but the combat system has been evolved and your enemies now have 'hit points' - for example, shoot someone in the leg and they'll start limping. Your foes are now more intelligent and will throw things at you (though with some good timing you can shoot projectiles out of the air) as well as working together to flank you and lure you into traps.

Thankfully, a context-sensitive 'action' button will allow you to quickly attack enemies, jump through windows or move objects - although in some areas of the game you'll have to work in pitch darkness with only the moonlight to guide you. The environments will be more consistent this time, so if you shoot a hole in a wall it will stay there for the rest of the game. There's also a new perspective on things as you play the game with a first-person view.

. THQ, Namco, SEGA, Nintendo and Konami are all confirmed developers for the upcoming Nintendo DS system.

. Despite initial claims it is highly likely that the Nintendo DS will play GBA games after all and will be better in specifications.

Heh. It's good. There's really no need for an 8 month (current length of time) delay for it being released over here.

Maybe they forgot. Or lost all the copies, or something. :-D

Nintendo's European Market would be saved.

Wouldn't it be cool if Goldeneye turned out to be a launch title for the DS - using the N64 original game in the main screen but seeing the menus/health in the lower screen?

I'd certainly give it a go!

That is true but I was referring to worldwide delays.

EA need Nintendo and Free Radical for this Goldeneye re-make dammit.

I literally spent hours looking at that stuff. But is GameShark American only? If so, that really, really sucks. I've searched everywhere and can't fidn a thing.

that site has tons of great stuff(remember I said I had spent all day looking at the stuff...I still haven't stopped!)
such cool codes...especially the master cheat menu...although i haven't been able to make it work properly yet.
i've been having great fun changing names of things, and i think i'll sawp around some items later.

who'd have thought goldeneye had so much fun in it, even after all this time!

Just been reading about the Citadel... have to say it's bloody amazing they're still finding new stuff. The Casino items sound great, and there are loads of other beta items, the idea of actually doing new missions on the Citadel is great, while very unlikely, I can hope.

I'm gonna pick up a Gameshark for the Helicopter, Citadel and other things. Strangely, it's one of the most interesting things I've read in ages.

Cheers Dringo ;-)
