Is Geist... well no actually it's Viewtiful Joe but then it's Geist.

Ok so the visuals are not up to next gen standards just yet but i expect a bit of spit and polish will sort that out. After reading some in-depth previews the game is literally screaming ingenious new Perfect Dark replacement. It looks like it has adopted the perfect dark graphical style and the new ghost feature looks set to add far more depth to the first person proceedings, a dying guard can shoot a switch, a woman can do a retinal scan into a computer... set pieces and good multiplayer fun ahoy!

But Viewtiful Joe still tops my anticipated list... oh yes.

The set pieces do look pretty cool. Saw one bit where you need to possess some woman, because only she has access to the lock on one of the door. You only can possess people when they're moving though and she's sitting down, so you do your poltergeist act and start throwing books around and turning her computer on and off.

Looks to be quite clever me thinks.

My most anticipated is Pilotwings when they finally get around to announcing it, we all know it's coming I just wanna know when. I can only imagine what Factor 5 will do with the scenery, looking at Rebel Strike graphics, it's gonna be one hell of a game.

Granted Pilotwings, F Zero and Mario Kart look incredible.

But I'm more keen on this original aces.

Well naturally Pilotwings doesn't look amazing because I haven't seen it.

Most Anticipated games:

Advance Wars 2
Mario Golf: Toadstall Tour and the GBA version


And they'll do for the moment- I'm trying to save up for a new PC. Luckily, the GBA Mario Golf doesn't come out until 2004. I'm going to get US copies of AW2 and MGTT when they're relased soon/next month.

Wouldn't get Mario Golf if I was you.

It's supposedly looking very crap at the moment, dated controls and rather glitchy graphics.

Someone told me not to get the original, and it ended up being one of my favourite N64 games.

It'll be fine by the time it comes out. I'm assuming it's not actually finished yet, right?

Camelot haven't made a bad game yet... and it seems Nintendo are telling developers to work on the graphics last... games such as Starfox 2, Geist and many more suggests this.

The controls are the same as they were on N64 which is just stupidly dated.

I'd get the game if they'd have had the brains to put an analog swing in. After playing and loving Tiger Woods 2003, there's no way I'm going back to the old crappy button pressing method.

If they have the button pressing method of Super Monkey Ball 2 I'd love it.
