Here a question.

How long do people think the N64 has left to live?

With games like Perfect Dark, Zelda: The Continuing Sage, Turok 3, A Resident Evil game, Top Gear Rally 2, and a bunch of other wicked games this year. How long will the N64 live for? Specially with the PS2 and Dolphin on the horizon how much longer can the N64 last?

I have heard that the European Commision has launched an investigation into the alleged price fixing by Nintendo and seven of it's EU distributors. Why?
Because Nintendo has been accused of collaborating with these distributors to sell hardware at a fixed rate, where discounts may have been offered.
A spokesman for the EC said
" The commision believes that the companies concerned participated in a 'cartel-like arrangement.

Be it true or not, I am the only one that thinks this is ridiculous???

I hope you find this info useful

Here are some cheats that i have found for the game, i have taken them off of my website:

New Title Screen:
Beat both the Gym Leader Castle and Stadium modes to change the title screen (in addition to the map mode). The new title shows Pikachu, Blastoise, Charizard, Venusaur and Mewtwo.


Amnesia Psyduck:
Get all 151 Pokemon in the hall of fame.


Surfing Pikachu:
First, get to the Round 2 Prime Cup Masterball Challenge. Make a Pikachu one of the 6 pokemon on your team. This Pikachu must be from a Game Boy Pokemon game pak. It cannot be a rental pokemon. It also cannot be registered anywhere on your Pokemon Stadium game. So, do NOT register this team when you are done picking it. When you begin to fight, you must make Pikachu one of the three pokemon you select for all eight battles. You cannot use any continues. Also, you cannot save and quit anytime during the cup. If you are successful, you will be rewarded by being taken to a special screen where you can teach Pikachu surf.

Talking Pikachu:
Upload Pikachu from the yellow version of the game to Pokemon Stadium. When battling, Pikachu will say its name and have different moves. Note: You must go into battle for this to work. Do not register Pikachu.


Get Pokémon for Game Boy game:
Complete one of the Gym Leader Castles of the Elite Four or your rival to get one of the following random Pokémon that can be transferred back to your Game Boy Pokémon game:
Eevee
Hitmonlee
Hitmonchan
Squirtle
Charmander
Bulbasaur
Omanyte
Kabuto



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pokémon Stadium Cup requirements
Pika Cup:
Pokémon can only be between level 15-20.

Petit Cup:
Level ranges between 25-30. There is a height requirement though. Height 6'8" limit and weight 44 pounds.

Poké Cup:
Only can use 3 Pokémon, levels 50-55. The sum of the Pokémon's levels cannot exceed 155.

Prime Cup:
Everything is legal. You can have any level, height, weight, or number of Pokémon. However, your opponents' levels are always 100.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hints
Colored Pokemon:
To change the colors of your pokemon try changing the names. For example; use lower case letters (ie: poliwhirl) change the syllables (ie: Drillbee) or just plain leave a part out (ie: pika). This can really alter the Pokemon's looks...you can even get a Pink Mewtwo!

Rent Mew:
Beat the Gym Leader Castle, plus beat all the cups in Masterball and you will have unlocked a new gaming mode and a new rental pokemon. Mew is now a rental pokemon. He can only be used in prime cup, Gym Leader Castle, and Free Battle (prime cup rules only). You will also have a new title screen.

Why can't Nintendo create games for the n64 that have a 3rd person view and plot like Metal Gear Solid?? Speaking for my self but I think Goldeneye is the best shoot em' up EVER! but it just doesn't hold enough in it to be the best game ever.
If Nintendo could make a game with lots of puzzles like Tombraider but with a realistic more realistic story line, and lots of really good scheneries and weapons and all this with the wicked N64 grapics, could be a reciepe for a truely excellent game!
What do you think?

The Nintendo 64 is coming to the end of it's lifespan. With all the new next gen. consoles, it will gradually fade out of our lives.
But I would like to point out a few things that nintendo should consider for their dolphin super console
1: people want new ideas, not sequels to games, especially if they are rubbish
2: Nintendo have recently started converting OLD PSX games to the N64.
If people wanted these games they would have either bought a PSX or the PC conversion. For example, Metal gear solid, in my opinion a rubbish game, is now being brought to the N64. An even better example is tomb raider. People have decided for or against Tomb raider about 2 years ago. The PSX now has 4 TOMB RAIDER GAMES(!) and nintendo is bringing out the first???. My point exactly.
3: Somebody spoke about Nintendo bringing out 'same idea games' and games aimed at small children. The console market must learn to accomadate the older gamers in our community. For example the PSX has more than a handful of 18 rated games whereas nintendo have only a few. Although I am loyal to Nintendo, and fend off PSXers remarks, I feel that they could do a LOT better.
4: I feel that Nintendo could have turned the stream of new PSX buyers after the N64's launch into a trickle by advertising more in the early stages of the Nintendo 64's life.

If Nintendo had taken the above points into consideration, they would have more money in their pockets and more people would be enjoying N64's
So, if anyone from Nintendo reads this, please take these points into consideration for the Dolphin, it's in your best intersts, not mine!

If anyone agrees/disagrees with what i've said, please let me know.

That is all I have to say.

If Nintendo could just come up with a few more releases that weren't aimed at the little kids and weren't Goldeneye (I have Goldeneye. Why do they think I want to buy endless copies of what is basically Goldeneye with a different box?), and produced more games aimed at the growing market of older gamers (with more than 50p of pocket money to spend) then maybe the future of the N64 wouldn't be so shakey. How can you expect the console to do well without the software to generate sales and create interest?
The void for the games is there, why do Nintendo refuse to fill it?
