Hi and welcome to my online free Nintendo magazine called Nintedo online, as you may have guessed this magazine is all about NINTENDO, it will cover all of the Nintendo consoles starting with the N64 onwards. I will be adding to it every month so check back for more news. I willl also start a Ninteno REVIEW PAGE so you can check out the reviews and previews of games, you can also post your own reviews in that page. There will also be a cheats and guide page and thats where you can come in, you can post your cheats or guides for any Nintendo game or you can post your opinion on the new consoles.
I will start off with the console all Nintendo fans have been waiting for, the GAMECUBE. This console will rock the world when it comes out and i assure you it will break the PS2 into pieces as this console is faster, more powerful and capable of alot more, if you want all of the specifications check below. If you havent already heard there are many top games comming out which involve all of the good old Nintendo characters such as Mario- in Mario 128, Luigi- in Luigi's mansion, Metroid and Zelda- in Zelda 128. By the end of this year many different third parties will be working on games for the GAMECUBE such as E.A, Eidos and Rare. This console is a must get and I will be reporting back to you with more news on the GAMECUBE next month.
The specifications for the GAMECUBE:
MPU- IBM Gekko
405 mhz
Internal data precision- 32 bit inter & 64 bit floating-point
System LSI- flipper
Embedded frame buffer- 2mb
Sound Proccesor- Special 16 DSP
these are just some of the specs. but if you go to ukgamecube.com you will find the more detailed load. The site i mensioned is run by Special Reserve.
Now on to the Gameboy Advance, this little piece of machinery is like a hendheld PSX, it contains a 32 bit proccessor and the graphics are looking smooth. You can get many top quality games for this GBA when it comes out such as Mario Kart GBA and possibly (its only a rumour) unreal tournament, now that will be brilliant when you link upto 4 GBA's at a time together. If you havent already, you can pre-order your GBA through special reserve over the phone, it costs £15 to pre-order but will be around £90 to £100 when it comes out. The item for to pre-order a GBA is GG4000 and it is due out sometime in summer 2001. here are some specs. for the GBA:
screen size: 40.8mm x 61.2mm
CPU: 32 bit RISC
memory: 32 kbyte WRAM + 96 kbyte of VRAM
Upto 4 connected together at one time thrugh link cable or infrared sensor at the top
Power supply: 2 AA batteries
Weight: 140 grams
Againt there are more specifications at ukgameboyadvance.com which is also run by Special Reserve.
When you talk of the N64 this month one thing springs to mind:
ZELDA: MADJORA'S MASK. This is the sequel to the smash hit game
ZELDA: OCARINA OF TIME. The new Zelda is also set to be a smash hit and pesonally I suggest you buy it as it is brilliant. it is a bit more challenging than the first one and rocks your brains a bit more as the 1st level on this is alot harder, but i managed it. This game is a must buy and it is avaliable thrugh Specialreserve for £39.99 cod number CC3572.
Thats about it for this month's issuse of Nintendo online and i'll be back next month with more news on the GAMECUBE, the GBA and the N64 c'ya next month.
Nintendo Online Web address: unknown yet but will be up soon.

I was waiting for the trio of you, Grix and Ant. Where are they anyway!
Ravs alright, you have to give people a little time, your used to talking to Ant and Grix, i'm sorta happy he said that, i couldn't be bothered to reply first time I read it, now, I just don't care, I hope he doesn't come back, it's annoying to see people posting things about something other than SR.
Oh thought he was talking to edgy!
don't think he was talking to anyone but nintendo_god, what a crapo namo, everyone should dissconnect and chill for a moment, this site won't go anywhere without you. Now kiss and make up, nothing a little cuddle can't solve.....huh?
You should leave, your not even a regular visitor so there's no right to make us leave this forum!
Actually, I used to write for several web site... not least of which was Total Video Games... unfortunately exams got in the way and I had to stop. However, I did manage to get 2 top news stories (one on the Neo Geo fiasco and one on the Xbox).
Anyway, while I was there had I contributed I would have got free games, and other sites even pay. They do not, however, pay for p!ss poor rubbish like this! What are you, 12 years old or something? If you opened your eyes you would see that Sony, Sega, Nintendo and Microsoft have great games comming on their machines, and any good gamer would know that! Even more embarasing for you are the spelling mistakes in your article- how professional is that!?!? Take my advice and leave this forum....
NOW!

I'm sorry but being the greatest fan (but not rich enough to buy or hire every product) Nintendo fan ever I think this is rubbish!
I knew all the information about the new consoles months ago! I also have a huge review of Majora's mask from NOM which came out the other day.
You said you are getting your news from the Special Reserve site so why would people change to another site to see it when they can just click once?
OK your a big Nintendo fan and want to make a website about the company and it's consoles (I am currently) but you need to put in a lil more effort! Updated once a month? I try t0 say something new every day!
If you want to start off go to http://server38.hypermart.net/nintyrules/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi
Post your html on there (the bord allows html) and I'll give you a proper review of what you've put on there already. I will also help you with ideas for improvement!
Don't post something like this on Special Reserve as it's advertising and you have to pay to advertise!

But if you dropped the Gamecube from a great height onto the PS2...
This is rubbish:
1) You are biased... the gamecube will not "break the Ps2 into pieces". The PS2 already has enough pre-orders to succeed, and even though I don't want it to, it will build on the success of the PSX (which completely destoyed Sega and Nintendo's market dominance).
2) The specs mean nothing... after all the original PSX had specs that could boast 1 milion polygons- some of the demos were actually that good! But the actual games only ran 300,000 MAX! The gamecube specs also meant nothing... it's the games that count, and unless nintendo get loads of 3rd party developers (I mean 10 times what they have now) then they will not have a wide enough range of games for mass market gaming. A console can no longer live on Zelda and Mario alone.
Ayway, learn how to spell!
