Mr. Yamauchi had headed Nintendo for over 50 years and before then his family had headed Nintendo, his passing will be a sad loss fo Nintendo as he is well knwon for his strong beliefs and iron fist ruling. Look for a tribute to Mr. Yamauchi soon.

Nintendo makes dreams come true
By Carl on Tuesday, May 21, 2002 | A Link to the Past on GBA complete with multiplayer support? Nintendo has it. Yoshi's Island on GBA? Yes sir. But the even-better news is in the area of Gamecube, where Nintendo indeed lived up to the hype when they unveiled the pride and glory of the GC lineup. Great new moves for Mario that only serves to amplify the Mario 64 experience, along with enough personality and magical little touches to make for a top-notch Mario experience. The premise is that Mario is on a vacation away from his business in the mushroom kingdom, but when his vacation goes wrong we're rewarded with stellar platforming the likes of which next-gen consoles have never seen. Add to that a Zelda video to hush the naysayers and make loyalists cheer for joy. Zelda isn't just returning, it's being reborn. Personally, I'm expecting the greatest Zelda experience ever delivered, bar none. Everything at the event was just plain thrilling, and proper respect was given to Shigeru Miyamoto for making it all possible, in the form of mad applause and a mad rush of photographers after the event. Nintendo is making up for past mistakes. Nintendo magic is back.

Miyamoto learns of the Shrine
By Carl on Tuesday, May 21, 2002 | As if it weren't enough that the press event was totally amazing in every way imaginable, afterwards I managed to make my way to Miyamoto and hand him a Miyamoto Shrine business card, then gave him a thumbs up for good humor. Upon looking at the card Shigeru smiled a big smile, then turned to his comrade (more on that later) and showed him the card, at which time he too stated laughing. After picking myself up off the floor, I immediately started shooting footage of him peering at the card (which will be available on the site later.) And who knows, now that he has the card all of you readers might be keeping some very good company. Or at least, I hope. If you are reading this Mr. Miyamoto... thanks a bunch for visiting, and we love what you've done with our favorite characters! Keep it up!

Carl Speaks to Miyamoto!!
By Andy on Tuesday, May 21, 2002 | ... but not in the way you think. Carl asked a question at the E3 press conference; "I was wondering how the size of Super Mario Sunshine would compare to the size of Super Mario 64? ... as far as erm... the world itself..." to which Mr. Miyamoto replied "I don't think it will change all that drasticly, I think you'll find that there's the same ammount of play in the game. But because of the ammount of actions and the things the player can actually do has improved drasticly, it's going to feel like a game that has alot to it." Well done Carl!

Hail Miyamoto, King of E3
By Carl on Sunday, May 19, 2002 | Carl here. Andy apparently got a virus in his e-mail that pretty much killed his desktop (talk about bad timing) so for the next few days updates may be scarce, but even if Andy has no luck getting things back to normal by E3 I'll be sure to post impressions and thoughts right here during the show. Can you believe it? Can you believe people will be playing the sequel to Mario 64 in just a few days? And a new Zelda? And a new Metroid? I don't know about you guys, but I think this is the most promising E3 in memory. I'd say that at least two, and probably all three of these games will rock our little cube world. Find out which ones rock the most right here, on this page, in the coming days. Stay tuned!

Zelda Delayed
By Andy on Thursday, May 16, 2002 | According to IGN Cube Zelda has been delayed from late 2002 until febuary 2003, although I could have told you this would happen a long time ago.
Personally I see this news as a good thing, it means Zelda wont be as short as games like Pikmin and Luigi's Mansion which didn't see a delay. Oh, and don't expect Zelda anytime before late 2003.

Big Games Update
By Andy on Monday, May 13, 2002 | I've spent a very long time adding new games to the site; we now have a Gameboy section, some 64DD games and a few more SNES games archived on the site. We're one step closer to having every game Mr. Miyamoto has ever contributed to.
If anyone has any pictures of the medallions from Zelda 64 (spirit, forest, fire etc) please send them to me here, as a reward I will give you a custom title of your choice in our forums.
