Nice. That makes the spring look a little better for Nintendo. Besides Mario Golf I am really looking forward to all of those games. I like Mario Golf too, but I haven't really been anticipating it. I can't wait to see how WarioWare is on GameCube.

A Black Falcon
Yeah, Custom Robo and Wario Ware Cube will be nice... though from what I've heard of the Japanese version of WW Cube it sounds like Wario Ware-GBA, just with multiplayer. Still good if you like insane multiplayer party-style titles. :) Custom Robo sounds pretty intresting too. And this does help with the late spring/early summer part which had been looking pretty empty...

Now how about Mario Tennis, the next Zelda, another Mario, Star Fox Cube... another kart racer? Are they doing Donkey Kong racing, or did that die when Rare left...

On a vaguely related note, http://www.gamespot.com/gba/adventure/popsands/news_6087354.html

UbiSoft's making another PoP game. It sold well enough.

However, http://www.gamespot.com/all/news/news_6087344.html

And in a humble tone, Guillemot closed by saying, "We have learned from the launches of Beyond Good and Evil and XIII, two new brands launched in a very competitive market dominated by established brands."

Let me guess, never make original titles just sequels and games based on movies?

Woo!! Custom Robo and Wario Ware party!!

I think Nintendo's continuing Donkey Kong Racing, but I haven't heard anything about it since Rare left.

A Black Falcon
Yeah, that's why I'm wondering what happened to it...

Geno
And how about Diddy Kong Pilot? Anyone remember that? I haven't heard anything about it since Rare left either. I think that title may've been dropped.

A Black Falcon
IGN says it's probably still on... remember how long it took to get Banjo for GBA out, so I'm not surprised about this one especially when they had to redo a lot of it to change it from DK to Banjo.

Crap, Four Swords isn't coming out this month. Wonderful. Ah well, at least I have my Metroid-lovin' this month. As usual the Gamecube gets the shaft.

Great news about a PoP sequel, but I really hope Ubi Soft gives BG&E one more chance. It has such amazing potential to be a really great series.

A Black Falcon
Yeah, we have a fantastic lineup this month. Like five games on the Cube. Total.

And I think that while more PoP is cool more BG&E would be cooler... :(

OB1
None one single decent GC game this year until March when MGS TS comes out. Great lineup as usual, Nintendo.

And did you get BG&E yet?

A Black Falcon
I haven't bought any games since mid December...

OB1
It's only $20! People like you are the reason we probably won't get a sequel...

A Black Falcon
I remember checking one store last december but it was $50, not $20, when I was there... maybe they dropped the price later but not when I checked.

OB1
The price dropped last month, ABF. It was big news.

A Black Falcon
I know, and after the first drop (at chains, but before the official announcement I guess) it hadn't dropped there yet.

OB1
So why don't you get it now...?

A Black Falcon
Maybe. I want another hard drive though and those cost a lot... especially since I also would need a controller card...

OB1
*tsk tsk tsk*

OB1
Mr. "yeah people should buy BG&E! Stupid people!"

A Black Falcon
Its called making decisions on what to get given how much money you have to spend... last year I got WAY more console stuff than PC (like two or three PC games vs 16 for consoles, and a GBA...)... this isn't a PC game I know but I definitely want another hard drive.

OB1
You're a hypocrite.

A Black Falcon
I'll get it eventually. I get a lot of good games late!

OB1
Yeah yeah, yet you continue to complain about people not buying the game. Sheesh.

A Black Falcon
I know, I know... but I usually don't buy games for $50... and now it's $20 but its harder to get games at school than at home. Not impossible, though... I know, I really should get it... probably the best time would be "Spring" break (hey if spring break is the first two weeks of March (which it is this year), when its still in winter and definitely not spring, why is it called "spring" break...). Like a month? :)

OB1
I plan on getting all of those except for maybe Custom Robo... I don't know too much about it.

A Black Falcon
I defintely want Mario Vs. Donkey Kong and Star Fox... other than that I don't know.

OB1
Pfft, no Monkey Ball 3?? What's wrong with you, boy?

A Black Falcon
I rented the first one. Fun, but worth buying? Only for very cheap...

Great Rumbler
I'm definitely getting Custom Robo! Fighting robots here I come!!

OB1
Monkey Ball is awesome! So is Pikmin and Wario Ware!

A Black Falcon
Donkey Kong on GB was so good, I really want to see more of this sequel...

big guy
