. Ocarina of Time was released 3 times last year... how nice.
. The Dual Screen system of the upcoming system: the Nintendo DS, can melt into one screen... for extra playing space.... What could it mean?
. Resident Evil 4 is not being released till 2005 in Europe, probably March going on the last 2 year trend (2003 - RE0 2004 - RECV), combined with the confirmation that Killer 7 will at a later date appear on the PS2 further proves my point that it is Namco and Nintendo who share the closest friendship.
. Rumour mill has begun again about the Goldeneye remake. Goldeneye is a license owned by Nintendo, James Bond a licence owned by EA and the engine owned by Nintendo... with recent aquistion of Free Radical it doesn't seem too stupid that the Gamecube-exclusive Goldeneye sequel will appear. This will cause a massive sales jump in Europe and a 3 company game deal is hardly unusual... look at MEtal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes.
. Baten Katos, the fantastic NAMCO RPG, is coming to the US of A... wahooo!
. MGS: Twin Snakes is due over here in March, it is still rumoured we'll get the special original MG bonus disc given away in Japan.
. Pokemon Leaf Gree and Fire Red, the updated editions of the original GB classic for the GBA have reportidly sold half a million copies in a DAY! Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire released in Japan over a year ago shifted a staggering 1.3 million in a week... Pokemon is still the money printing phenomona it has always been.
. Argh, Activision plan to release Tony Hawks: Underground 2 and True Crime: Streets of LA 2 soon... I just hope they are updated enough.
. The announcement that Metroid Prime 2 is released this year is heavily exciting... Timesplitters, XIII 2 and such like are seeminly hiding till 2005 in an attempt to avoid killer titles DOOM 3, Half Life 2 and Halo 2 (all X-box and PC)... but Nintendo plan to launch both Geist and Metroid Prime 2 THIS YEAR... brave brave sole Nintendo. (They don't stand a chance).
. Timing is Everything
. On the subject of Wars, Eidios have confirmed Championship Manager 5 and sport interactive, who fell out with Eidos (along with Core and free radical), leaving the license they deserve but keeping the engine, tried to dirty Eidos' announcement with one of their own.
. The Gamecube exclusive turned non-exclusive game Killer 7 us due to hit the PS2 in Japan at the end of the year with a European release due in 2005... quite shockingly the game is not yet due for an American release? Could this be a region exclusive thing?
. Prince of Persia in America sold 272,000 units on PS2; 172,000 on Xbox; and 100,000 on Nintendo's console. Ooooops.
. Despite being multi-format Sonic Heroes is still best bought on a Nintendon console according to IGN, the game runs smoother and features a host of extras as well as being released earlier. Sonic Heroes is one of the first multi-format games SEGA have ever made.
. I'm done for the day, seeya later.

Along with Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong 64, Beetle Adventure Racing, Perfect Dark and TWINE.
And a red controller.
w00t.
Imagine if it was released this year at Christmas...
X-box can just sit with their DOOM 3, Halo 2 and Half Life 2 and swivel.
:D
Gah, I'd be willing to buy the original without any enhancements again (I don't still have the N64 version though)
Tweaked AI, added graphical wonders like realistic glass, more voice samples, BOTs for multiplayer, more multiplayer levels/options...
I'd buy it again!!!
:D

Would be nice to see the classic revitalised with spankingly gorgeous graphics!
