Great. Since K.K will be in town tonight, I'll get the codes for the Wide-Screen Tv, the G Logo and Excitebike. I'll hand 'em out tomorrow.

I agree, comletely. I've got a GC, and I'm going to get a PS2 ... but I would never even dream of grabbing an Xbox. It's just not worth it. Hey, why not get an iQue! Sure - the games will be in Chinese, (no complaints, please, I'm NOT confusing Chinise with Japanese) but haven't we all played Mario 64, Zelda 64 and other classics already? We'll make it through easily. Those who do not know about the iQue ... it is a N64 controller from Nintendo that can play SNES and N64 games! Not the cartridges, silly - you have to go to one of China's many iQue koisks and actually download the games onto your memory card, believe it or not. I've noticed there is a USB port on the top - wouldn't it be cool if you used this to buy iQue titles from the internet, and then proceed to download it through the iQue's USB port ... onto your memory card? It's obvious they'll be doing this in the future. But, problems being problems - this one in particular is quite large! Y'see, HELLO! It's China, for frickin' well sake! Piracy is big in China. Being able to download these games from the internet, let alone actually allowing fans to connect the iQue to a PC in the first place will begin yet another one of gaming biggest problems - ROMs. And I'm talking about ROMs that people put up on websites for other guys to send to their iQue at their own free will, without even paying. I mean, this is Nintendo! They have finally managed to conquer the huge world of pirated home console Nintendo ROMs by introducing a compact, well-protected disc format. But, look! 'Clever' Nintendo go and release a PC-compatible console, in China. Hang on, I'll say that again - CHINA! Starting to make sense of this abnormality, are you? Lights turned on upstairs? Get it, now? Nintendo have created a big, big mistake. So, basically, I'll round this up in a sentence or two. Nintendo have stupidly introduced even more piracy to a very piracy-inflicted country. This will not do. Just stick with koisks, no matter how desperate you are, Nintendo!

If you have big hands, buy yer'self an Xbox. Words to live by, really.

EDIT: We have some breaking news! To celebrate the release of the new Famicom-themed SP in Japan, Nintendo are set to release 10 ported NES games for the GBA! These classics from Nintendo, Hudson, Namco could include titles such as Donkey Kong, Ice Climber, Excitebike, Pac-Man, Xevious, Mappy, Bomberman, Star Solider, and even Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda!

You reckon I could be a news reporter when I grow up? meh, I don't think so. I wanna work at Nintendo!

This is a Nintendo-based forum, so you're not meant to reveal that you think the PS2 is okay. Oh, whoops! Did I just say that? Okay, okay ... PS2 is alright. But obviously, the GameCube is much better. Oh, and sadib100, (who is too un-important to deserve a capital letter at the beginning of his name!) the GameCube is $99 in America, I believe. Have you ever heard of something called 'varied prices overseas'? Obviously not! One more note ... we could change this into a page where we post any news we happen to hear of involving Nintendo. That way, everyone can be up to date. Here is today's newsflash!

E3 2004 set to show new Nintendo colsole -
E3 2003 brought no new Nintendo console, no new Zelda game (apart from Four Sword's and Tetra's Trackers, of course) and no new Mario game. But what will E3 2004 bring us? Well, Nintendo is to reveal a new type of console: not a GameCube or Game Boy Advance successor, but a third brand. Many Nintendo fans have come up with an idea that China's I-Que could be set to release overseas ...

More GameCube triumph news!-
Nintendo have announced that 2003 was a great year, being the second-best console over the year. Apparently, during Xmas, GameCube sales rose by a whopping 70%! This was probably due to Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, which sold over 1 million units during its first 7 weeks on retail. In news of Nintendo's heldheld, the GBA sold 2.5 million units during Xmas! All, right! NINTENDO RULES!

It's such a shame that there wasn't an N64 Metroid ... we had to wait nearly 10 whole years for another one. Well, if there was some little-known 64DD release in Japan, correct me! But I sincerely doubt it.

Mario is still evil. His face goes dark and evil. He stares at Toad's head and exclaims, "I love-a-mushrooms!". Toad screams and runs away to Oz!

Don't start up anything that has been already done, and is high up in the list. My TMK Animal Crossing Center only came to be because a previous trading post had vanished. Basically, if you're not sure about posting something, don't do it!

Also, continuing from Killa of PS2's point ... don't make topics like 'Hair colour?' or 'Where do you live?', 'cos you can easily ask them on MSN or something like that. I'll just tell you some, anyway -

I believe that we had a Japanese member some time ago. YoshiZu comes from Germany, Pink King Boo comes from Austrailia, and pretty much everyone else comess from America. I, myself, come from England.

But let's not begin to turn this topic into one of THOSE! Continue with the real point. :)
