Yo, yo, yo! I'm back! And so is the site. Revamped and all. Like the new look? It's straight. Anyways, you're not here to read about me. You're here to read about games. The wonderful world of games. So pull out your Mister Rodgers Hats and put on a raincoat, because after I'm done talking, I might've spit out a flood!

NINTENDO NEWS
The Game Boy advance is only a few short weeks away. And some retailers are already releasing titles early! Confirmed, Iridion 3D and Ready to Rumble Boxing are out at some stores for the Game Boy Advance. If your lucky enough to own an import AGB, get one of these fascinating titles now!
Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 for the GBA is shaping out to easily be the best looking game on the handheld system. Sonic Advance (tentative title) also looks to be the "best" sonic game, or so says IGN.com, one of my many sources for Video Game news
Oh yeah, If you own an old nintendo, and own the classic Mario Brothers 2, you might not wanna get Mario Advance, its the same game, but with better music, better graphics, and voices two! (damn i remember playing that game at Toys R Us, what a game! The displays are out, so go play the game now at a local game retailer near you!)

GAMECUBE
Nintendo gamecube not only impressed the fans and the press, but it also impressed rival Playstation. Sony says that Nintendo is looking like a great machine, and will be more of a rival this era than the last. They also said the X-Box lost the war of the Next Generation systems before the era of Saturn, Playstation, and N64 even ended!
Super Smash Brothers Melee (part 2) took the crowd by storm as All of your favorite nintendo mascots are back (except Luigi and Jigglypuff) including Sheik, Bowser, the Ice Climbers and Peach are all in SSBM! Rumors have it that you may see Ridley, Pit (Kid Icarus), and the very strangest rumor of them all, Sonic! (if it happens, shoot me!)
But thats not the game that that stole the show. LucasArts' Star Wars Rogue Leader was so good, that it won IGN.com's award for best game at E3 from Nintendo. Now don't think Nintendo isn't gonna have any mature games...I seen some good looking ones...
Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil 0, Too Human, Metroid, and Zelda are looking to be the premiere titles in the Mature Rating category. Hey, Maybe Conquers Bad Fur Day 2 will come out!

NES
That's right! NES news! Seems like the craze in Japan right now is oldschool NES. people are going nuts over the streets of Japan buying NES' and games that cost like 20,000 yen! (That's about 165 bucks here). Hey you know what, if we start something like that, maybe the might produce new games for a very old system...NOT!

Now thats all the Nintendo news I got...lets look at Sony. I won't even DARE give the X-Box a review!.....

SONY

Playstation
Capcom will be brining out yet another Megaman title for the Playstation. If you guessed Megaman X6, you're right! This time, Zero (from what i know) isn't in the game. You're the new X, with Z-Sabre in hand, you fight the evil reploids in search for Zero. I guess what you're doing is looking for Zero to repair him. You'll know what I'm talking about (the reasons why and such) If you beat MMX5. X still has the X-Buster, but can use the Z Sabre at any time. Sounds cool!
I'm guessing it will be the final stride in PSX, but EA Sports is releasing Madden NFL 2002 for you who don't have a PS2. That's a good thing, considering the fact that PS2 has been around for over a half a year (not offcially) but you know what i mean (dumbass delay). Oh yeah, the really cool thing about this game is that it has a special option (on N64 and PSX only) that allows you to play the NFL 2002 game in 1993 Madden Graphics with the EXACT Gameplay!!!! Welcome back oldschool! (oh yeah, you can use current teams and rosters too!)

Playstation 2
Capcom are such geniouses. Thats why I admire them so much! Capcom is releasing Capcom vs. SNK 2 only on PS2!!! That's the first 2D fighting game on the CD-based console. Now if you're like me, and love Capcom vs. series, you'll go out and get it. But too bad for me...I have no PS2!!! Hopefully they'll port it to Gamecube...*sigh*
Metal Gear Solid...Metal Gear Solid...2! Sons of Liberty! It's coming out for PS2. And if you enjoyed MGS franchise, you'll probably like it. Wait till i get a preview from sources unknown and then I'll tell you if its a must have or a must die game.
Finally, Monster Rancher 3 and Cool Boarders 2001 are coming out for the system. I haven't played the Monster Rancher Games, so i can't tell you anything, And I don't like coolboarders, but It should be a good game. Maybe now I'll give the game a chance.


That's all the news I have. So much news this month. Next issue, i'll reveal some thoughts, games for GBA, and Gamecube info!
