Nintendo Still Thinks Gamers Are Suckers The Dreamcast is cheaper than the Nintendo 64 … even though no more games are coming out. The twelve year old GameBoy costs $70! That’s just $30 shy of what you can pick a new GameBoy Advance for. And don’t even get me started on the lackluster GameCube launch titles. Nintendo thinks we are just going to buy it if they release it … and the sad truth is, we will. Stuff Is Never as Set as it Seems (or maybe things never change) Contrary to reports even weeks before launch, Microsoft’s Xbox is NOT 10 gig, but rather a paltry 8 gig. The system also launched a week late, as did Nintendo’s GameCube. Final Fantasy X actually DID make it before Christmas. And September 11th did seem to effect Metal Gear Solid 2’s world wide launch. So, perhaps nothing is wrong with the industry, and everything REALLY IS back to normal. The new Star Wars video games are better than the new Star Wars movies For years we’ve been praying for a video game to have the excitement, story, and character of the best Star Wars movies, but usually we get duds. Now we get a dull Star Wars movie (the Phantom Menace) and one kick ass Star Wars game!! Rouge Leader gives you excitement, it gives you story, and it gives you some of the best loved Star Wars characters (including Wedge). But best of all THIS Star Wars doesn’t make us sit through more Jar Jar Binks! Skip the Phantom Menace and get yourself ready for Rogue Leader: Rouge Squadron II. WHAT WE LEARNED FRONT PAGE
