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.
