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?

We all know full well that when Nintendo do a game, they do it properly and put effort into the gameplay as well as the graphics, sound and so on. Nintendo's best gaming achivements have always been platformers and RPG's, unfortunately there are very few decent RPG's out! Hopefully Square will work on games for the Dolphin as Sqare are the other company who know how to do RPG's that are as playable and addictive that have fiendish puzzles like Nintendo's. The greatest RPG's ever released were on the good ol' SNES, no-one can argue with that if they have had the pleasure of experiencing gaming masterpieces as Chrono Trigger, Secret Of Mana, Zelda-A Link To The Past, Terringima,Harvest Moon, Mario RPG and so on. Why has every company who develops for the N64 forgotten about RPG's? The console has many racing, fighting and sporting games as well as many other types but only has a very small amount of RPG's. Harvest Moon64 will be great and I'm glad it will be released as the SNES and GBC versions are classic and the game has imagination and orginality, only RPG's can diliver these high quality factors.
I await Dolphin with a great amount of anticipation as hopefully because of its DVD format developers such as Square will give it RPG classics to be proud of like they did with the SNES!
Pokemon is a classic RPG, Harvest Moon and Zelda are, developers take note, these are the quality titles we want more of, but PLEASE don't just rip off other games! (Cough, cough Digimon and Dragon Warrior Monsters!)
Thanx for reading,

The N64 used to be, as the slogan said, The fastest most powerful games console on Earth. But now the Dreampants has been created it cannot use that phrase. Still Nintendo has the highest quality. My brother has an N64 and has loads of games: Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie, 1080 Snowboarding, Zelda, Mario Kart 64, XG2, Turok, Duke Nukem Zero Hour, Pokémon Stadium + Transfer Pack, F1 WGP, Twisted Edge, Super Mario 64, V-Rally edition 99, F-Zero X, Extreme G and many more. He is now getting the older games because they are cheaper (even with the Gods of the games Special Reserve) and still top of the range quality. The only problem with Nintendo is the price of almost Ł50 for new games.
Not only are the games true quality, but the cartoons are too. My favourite used to be The Legend Of Zelda which used to be on GMTV all those years ago. I used to love watching that every bank holiday morning or in School holidays. As well as that there was the Super Mario Bros Cartoons. They were Excellent too, with all your favourite Characters like Mario, Luigi, Toad, Princess Toadstool(who now is called Peach), Goomba's, Kooper(Who now is called Bowser). This used to be on years ago but it used to follow the NES/SNES games exactly. In addition to that was the Film Mario Bros where Koopa tried to de-evolve Mario into an ape! Even though it is repeated on TV every other month it is still a great hit. Now there is a new craze which I know you all love to hear about: Pokémon. It's excellent as it has plenty of characters which are used to fight in competions. The characters and story lines are EXCELLENT, In my school all my friends watch it and for some reason call everyone who doesn't watch it "Non-Believers".
Sega are the only other company who have made their own cartoons but only of their blue hedgehog (Why blue?).
Sony can't afford to make any cartoons as everyone knows their consoles are made with cheap parts so that they can make more to attempt to sell them to the gullible public.
The main man of Nintendo Shiguru Myamoto (sorry if I've spelt it wrong) is the creater of Zelda, Mario and his friends and even the 3D Ape Donkey Kong. Keep up the good work!

When the dolphin comes out all the original N64 owners will put their beloved N64's in their box and put them in their loft, or basement, this makes me sad because it is now that Nintendo are realising that they should bring out good games, Perfect dark, Concers thingymagig, dragon slayer....etc, All these games are coming out way too late, but will open new doors, but what is inside of those doors will only be accessed to their full potential in the later stages of the dolphin, which is a great shame as the N64 has been struggling for over a year now. I just Perfect Dark won't be destroyed by all the hype that's been built up, as if this is Nintendo's last hope for the N64.
Also I hope the Dolphin isn't some ugly crap like the PS, i mean they're copying them with the dvd, I don't want the looks to disolve with the cart!! (Nintendo has used carts for over 16 years!) It looks like Nintendo will do anything to keep up with the publics intrest, and has weakened at Sony's feet.

More than a fashion accessory, the Mask of Shadows is grafted into Michael LeRoi's chest. With the voodoo powers of the mask, LeRoi can become Shadowman, a being of immense power with the ability to cross over into Deadside, the realm of the dead. Mama Nettie, a voodoo priestess, has used her powers to receive a dark omen of an immense evil gaining power within Deadside. In order to stop the forthcoming Armageddon, she instructs LeRoi to journey into Deadside, find the Asylum (a haven for dead killers and Dark Souls), and destroy it. Why worry? It's not like you can die or anything...
Shadowman for the N64 has all the markings of a hasty port from the PC. The original PC version was able to establish a dark and creepy mood for the adult subject matter of the game. Somehow, when moved to the N64, most of the subtleties that made the PC game good have been left out of the cartridge. While I never expected the N64 version to match the PC one exactly, this game feels like it could have used a little more Voodoo in the mix.
You control Shadowman from a third person view, focusing on exploration and collection. All the while, you must shoot the lost souls and demons that try to hinder your quest (how do you kill something that's already dead?). The main items that you must collect are the Dark Souls; the more you collect, the more locked gateways on earlier levels you'll be able to open and the stronger you'll become. Other voodoo items will let you touch fire or climb up waterways.
Shadowman uses a combat aiming function similar to Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. You can lock-on to an enemy, and then move relative to him. While the function works decently, Zelda's "lock-on" had a cleaner, more refined feeling. In Shadowman, the lock occasionally gets lost when you step too much to the side or if something comes between you and the enemy. Furthermore, the lock is not very flexible and often you find yourself locked on a far off enemy while a closer enemy claws at you. To make things worse, the N64 version's target is barely even visible. Needless to say, it gets frustrating.
When you defeat an enemy, their soul is left behind. These souls serve as health. When you're Michael and you die in the game, you just go to Deadside, where you're Shadowman. If you're Shadowman and you die, you just start again from a checkpoint since you're already dead. Isn't immortality great?
Overall, there is a lot of platform jumping in the game, but never quite reaches the point of being overly frustrating. The controls can be rather sensitive and never evoke the overall smoothness of the PC version.
When you move between different game locations, you'll get a game disrupting loading screen. The illusion of a fully realized world would have seemed more convincing without the wait. Instead, even with the nonlinear nature of the game, the world of Deadside still has a "levels" feel to it. While I can partly accept load times from a CD, having to bear with it on a cartridge is damn annoying.
One neat feature is that the difficulty level keeps increasing as you get further into the game. Areas that were nearly empty the first time through are brimming with the undead the next time around. And yet another gripe in comparison to the PC is that there are fewer enemies on the N64 version. On top of that, the enemies that are still around seem, AI-wise, less dangerous.
Influenced by movies like Seven and the poetry of T.S. Eliot, the designers created a very stylish game. While the writing is infused with a feeling of deep meaning, the characters still seem to follow standard archetypes, with the familiar good vs. evil . . . or in this case, evil vs. evil-er.
While the deeper design is neat, the characters could have used more exposition. If the back story of LeRoi were included within the game, gamers would feel more driven to keep fighting during the times when they're stuck looking for some key item.
The graphics of Deadside embody the dark and chilling mood set by the plot. Because Deadside is an imaginary place, the different visual elements of caves, gothic architecture, and dead things don't have to follow the full rules of reality. That said, there are certain areas of the "Liveside" that, in contrast, just don't look as good as Deadside (stupid constraints of reality).
If you do play this game, you will probably want the expansion pack, because the low-resolution mode of the game is one blurry plate of confusion. The high-resolution mode is significantly better, but the framerate suffers. Either way, this game doesn't feel like it was put together with the N64 in mind.
Sound-wise, Shadowman N64 falls far short of the PC version. The environmental noise, occasional music, and shrieks of the enemies kept the game scary on the PC, but on the N64, many of those little touches have been lost. On the PC, when you fight an enemy, they start crying or shrieking, making some retching sound. It reminded me of my former, crazy roommate who talked to himself. On the N64, there isn't any crying, and the shrieks don't sound as good. It's like listening to that same roommate with a bag over his head (which isn't bad, considering that I don't have to look at him anymore). The music just doesn't have the same richness and sounds scratchy.
Shadowman's gothic, artsy flavor is refreshing, but underneath all the English Lit and references, is an exploration game that could have used some more port-specific tuning. Even, if I hadn't played the PC version first, I'd still be disappointed with the N64 edition. If you want to go to Deadside, the N64 isn't the voodoo portal to get you there.

Roque Squadron is the crowning glory for star wars games. You must complete a wide range of 'planet surface' missions, flying in all the ships from the first 3 films (except the b-wing) and even as the naboo fighter. You are Luke Skywalker, and are backed up by an elite squadron of rebels. During missions, youre wingmen will help you out, and provide great sound effects when they get shot. You get to take on a multitude of imperial ground and air vehicles including AT-AT's and TIE bombers. A great extra is the little civillians, landspeeders, houses, sandcrawlers and stormtroopers. The graphics are not the best, but plug in an expansion pack and they're the best around. The sound effects are taken straight from the movie, adding a new dimension to the gameplay. The controls are all in the right place, and easy to use, and the gameplay is superb. This game is for star wars fans, and people looking for a great play alike. If that isn't enough, at the end of the game you get to blow up the Death Star, and fly in the battle of Hoth. To get these you must get medals on each level, based on accuracy, kills etc. You only get one ship on each stage until you play through the game, and then you can go back and choose. If you manage to get gold on all stages you even get the millenium falcon!! (or you can cheat). To round up, this game is great, and you really should buy it!
