Well, the N64 is on its last legs, games are being switched to the GC instead, and Pokemon is the only N-thing that sells in the UK.

I'm not surprised that games companies are abandoning the N64 (the few that came aboard in the first place). I don't blame them, they're just taking the best method to survive in the deadly game of making games.

But I have to commend THQ for their courage, commitment and...damn, no more c words of encouragement. Anyway, THQ has been with the N64 since its beginnings. It all began with WCW vs. NWO: World Tour (or something) and through the years, has provided the N64 devotees with ever improving wrestling sims. World Tour, Revenge, Wrestlemania 2000 and culminating with No Mercy (or No Memory as some humourously call it). Not only that, but THQ have kept the N64 on course for ending with a bang (not the type with a sledgehammer). India Jones, Battle for Naboo and not forgetting Conker's Bad Fur Day in the UK, where Nintendo were afraid to publish.

So I end with a "THank Q" (bad pun intened) and may the good times (and games) continue with GC...
