Confirmed releases so far include Mario Tennis in October, Kururin Squash!, a puzzle title, and in November the release of Mario Party 6.

Also the same article reports that the DS is planned to launch with five to six titles, and a total of 11 titles by the end of 2004.

Not a 7.5 good game, I mean a 9.75 or higher good game. Control, Story, Sound, Graphics and Innovation are few of many. Viewtiful Joe is more then a 9.75 in each of these categories, and is looking to give my favorite games of all time a long and painful run for their money.

Fair graphics, good sound, and exciting gameplay are the keys in SMS. The graphics aren’t the best out there; games such as Metroid Prime blow SMS’s graphics away. The water effects are excellent though, and are some of the best I’ve seen in a game.https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/the-esrb/Fri, 29 Aug 2003 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/the-esrb/The Entertainment Software Ratings Board has been around for nine years and is the be-all, end-all of the appropriateness of a game for a certain age group. After some investigation of the ESRB, however, I learned numerous things about not only why the GameCube is last in American hardware sales, but also some scary things about the society in which we live. You’ve seen them: the small ‘E’ or ‘T’ logos in the lower corners of every game for every major gaming console since the SNES.https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/dragon-ball-z-the-legacy-of-goku/Wed, 20 Aug 2003 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/dragon-ball-z-the-legacy-of-goku/Although there have been a great deal of DragonBall games made for various systems over the years, none of them have ever made it to Australia before, and most of them didn’t even get an English conversion. The reason for the lack of early DragonBall games was simple, no one outisde of Japan had even heard the words Dragon…Ball, and therefore the games would not sell. But since the DragonBall series has been converted to English and show on western television, fans have been crying out for quality DragonBall games, and now their wish is coming true with the release of this game, DragonBall Z:The Legacy of Goku (only for GameBoy Advanced).https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/nintendo-and-microsoft-to-merge/Mon, 18 Aug 2003 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/nintendo-and-microsoft-to-merge/You may think this is just a rumour, and at the moment it is just that. However the idea of Nintendo and Microsoft partnering isn’t as ridiculous as you may have first thought… At first it was just rumours that fueled the ideas that a merger between the two companies may occur. The internet contained many stories, (some of them were obviously made up - some were not) the interesting things about these stories were the facts some of them contained and the idea that such events could happen.https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/seeing-into-the-future/Mon, 18 Aug 2003 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/seeing-into-the-future/What’d I’d like to see in the Game Cube’s future… Online For one, I’d love to see more games with online-capabilities; everything from your first person shooter to your strategy game. It’d be nice to have an equivalent to SOCOM or Halo 2 wouldn’t it? Or go head to head with your army and your friends in a strategy game? Sweet.

In this editorial, well its more of an essay on the topic which I am discussing, I argue the questions mentioned above and state my opinions.https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/f-zero-gx/Fri, 04 Jul 2003 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/f-zero-gx/Set for release August 25th GameQubed analyses the past and present of the F-Zero series and voices what we expect to experience in Segas next installment of the F-Zero series. Developed by Sega and being published by Nintendo, F-Zero GX is probably the most anticipated game of 2003. The original F-Zero was a SNES classic and since then the series has always been highly acclaimed.

If this rumor is true it may open up all the possibilities to begin hooking up 2 (or possibly more) GameCubes together for even more then 4 player action. With the BroadBand adaptors this is very possible and even without them there may be another way.

The hard part is, the spot where the treasure is changing every day and there is no Treasure Chart to tell you where it is exactly (or at least, we haven’t heard of one yet).https://www.gamequbed.com/news/wind-waker-officially-ships/Tue, 25 Mar 2003 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/news/wind-waker-officially-ships/It’s HERE!!!!

It looks that way from the screenshots at Nintendo’s Pikmin 2 site. There is one shot that’s a split screen but the others have Olimar and his new friend on the same screen. Notice in the split screen that each one is centered on one particualar character (as it should be) but in the other screens, only one player is centered with his target circle. This could mean that there is a computer assist mode, but could it also mean that Pikmin 2 will be programed for network play?https://www.gamequbed.com/news/driver-comes-to-hollywood/Wed, 26 Feb 2003 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/news/driver-comes-to-hollywood/Infogrames has recently released information that its popular Driver series (of which its third installment will be on GameCube this year) will be given a movie of its own.

Mace: No, I don’t think Nintendo is doing a great job at all. A poor job actually.

SP features a slick, portabal design, as well as a new illumination feature, something that us Gameboy consumers have been demanding. Besides the integration of a backlighting feature, the next most important consumer-friendly component are the batteries, or more specifically, battery. SP is powered by one Lithium battery, which guarantees 10 hours of gameplay. When the lighting system is turned off, the battery life extends to 18 hours.https://www.gamequbed.com/news/solar-pak-announced-for-gba/Sun, 12 Jan 2003 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/news/solar-pak-announced-for-gba/Content missing: Linked image is the render I am assuming the article linked to.

We’ve decided to get together and discuss the topic of online vs. offline for videogames. We had some great debate, and now you can read the whole discussion. Matt: The debate of online vs. offline is one that gamers are hard pressed to answer. I think that gaming is meant to be online in some cases, like multiplayer. We first had multilplayer, and the next logical step is to take that multiplayer further, into the world of online gaming.https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/more-attacks-towards-mature-games/Tue, 17 Dec 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/more-attacks-towards-mature-games/We’ve all heard it millions of time, violent video games make kids go crazy and shoot up there schools. Yet if you ask me the kids that do that have something else wrong with them in there lives not related to the video games and the un-responsible parents who originally bought the games for there child need an excuse and blame the games. So what brings me to write about this all of a sudden.https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/metroid-prime/Wed, 11 Dec 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/metroid-prime/This is by far the best game on the newest Nintendo system, GameCube. It is also worth buying a GameCube for. It is easily one of the best games of all time, has the best graphics and sound of any videogame ever, has challenging game play with brilliant puzzles, and much more. I could go on for practically forever, but I’ll stop with this and go on to what you really want to hear.https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/timesplitters-2-rv2/Wed, 11 Dec 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/timesplitters-2-rv2/Content missing: Review score TimeSplitters 2, for the GameCube (as well as the Xbox and PlayStation 2), is the sequel to first person shooter TimeSplitters. However, the game makes major improvements over TimeSplitters 2. With ex-Rareware staff members on the game’s development team, the game takes a bit of a turn towards Goldeneye 007 in its single player, with a multiplayer that would rival any other first person shooter. Even an Xbox fanboy could rate this game up there with Halo.https://www.gamequbed.com/features/exclusive-interview-with-bam-entertainment/Tue, 10 Dec 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/features/exclusive-interview-with-bam-entertainment/Gamequbed would like to present our first full, exclusive interview (and more to come for that matter!).

And then I realized, why post a fourth news article concerning the break-up in a one week time frame. Let’s try something new. An editorial maybe. Yes, that sounds good. Insight, not repetition. The details are out. Plain and Simple, Here's the scoop: Nintendo had previously owned 49 percent of Rare. Because of the fact that Rare had not been creating as much revenue as they had hoped (because SFA took forever,) Nintendo received that percent of the company back from Rare, and was then sold in it’s entirety to Microsoft, along with numerous licenses: Perfect Dark, Jet Force Gemini, Conker, and Banjo-Kazooie.https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/animal-crossing-rv2/Sat, 30 Nov 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/animal-crossing-rv2/This game simply rocks. It’s a living, thriving, interactive life, but in a game. You help people, collect furniture, pay off bills, go fishing, visit friend’s towns, steal lost items, take a boat to a tropical island, and that’s not even the top of the barrel of tricks this game has. Name off anything you’ve ever wanted to do in a simulation game, its here. There is no limit. You can completely customize your game, with your own songs, clothes, designs, wallpapers, and carpets.https://www.gamequbed.com/tips-cheats-and-codes/james-bond-007-nightfire/Sat, 30 Nov 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/tips-cheats-and-codes/james-bond-007-nightfire/Demolition Mode Author: Mace Enter “TNT” as a code Drive a Shelby Cobra Author: Mace Start up your game onto the Enimies Vanquished level.

Over the past couple months a “Megaton” announcement has been almost constantly talked about, so to assess you all let’s take a recap of the entire “Megaton” announcement possibilities. Firstly, a huge lineup of online titles including Cube Wars Online, Pokemon Online, and Mario Kart Online was rumored. Then, with SEGA’s decreasing faith in the Xbox, Nintendo was rumored to be considering a buyout of SEGA.https://www.gamequbed.com/news/mario-phone-at-target/Sun, 24 Nov 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/news/mario-phone-at-target/I’m one of those people who take a look at the ads in the newspaper every Sunday and look at the stuff I only wish I had.

Nintendo launching there Gamecube and Microsoft with the Xbox. I myself expected Nintendo’s console to take off but many people stereotyped it as kiddy. Nintendo made many attempts to go for a maturer image but they didn’t seem to work perfectly. Anyone remember the first few GameCube commercials, they really showed Nintendo going for a maturer look.https://www.gamequbed.com/announcements/gamequbed-chat-2/Sat, 23 Nov 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/announcements/gamequbed-chat-2/For those of you who still don’t know Gamequbed.com has its own chat room which is accessible through an IRC client such as mIRC (which can be downloaded at mirc.com) under the server studio64.yi.org on port 6667.

You got 40 hours? Well, for this RPG, that might be the time it takes you to do SOME of the added side quests and complete the storyline, which shows that you do need dedication to this game. Tactics Ogre is a strategy RPG, such examples of the same type of games could be Final Fantasy Tactics for Playstation or any other Tactics Ogre games.https://www.gamequbed.com/news/aussie-sales-charts/Sat, 02 Nov 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/news/aussie-sales-charts/Well, it seems after a little time on the charts, SMS has dropped a few slots.

I was amazed to see such a great game as Puyo Pop for the GBA. The phrase ’easy to learn, hard to master’ can defiantly be used in this case. The visuals for Puyo Pop are great for the GBA. The visuals are Japanese-based, which gives an anime type feel to the on-screen characters. The colors used for the puzzle pieces are bright and easy to distinguish.https://www.gamequbed.com/announcements/smugglers-run-turok-reviews-coming/Sun, 20 Oct 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/announcements/smugglers-run-turok-reviews-coming/I recently rented Turok: Evolution, which bitterly dissapointed me; I still have the taste of what it could have been in my mouth.

They have yet another game, now on GCN, that includes the whole gang. The game has similarities to Crazy Taxi, but Road Rage ties in the Simpsons characters and plot.

How does the new game fair? It is nothing what is used to be. You’re more likely to be in the sky, or fighting Sleg troops in buildings, then dinosaurs. I thought Turok was the dinosaur hunter? Graphics- Though, the intro and cut scenes look absolutely awesome, the graphics are below average.

In Japanese the title is “Zelda no Densetsu: Kaze no Takuto”. Translated it can be one of three The Legend of Zelda: Baton of Wind; The Legend of Zelda: Staff of Wind; or The Legend of Zelda: Wand of Wind.

Well, EA is on the move again, and along with Eurocom/EAC, plan to release a brand spanking-new James Bond game with Pierce Brosnan’s mug as the protagonist. While it may seem as though NightFire is based upon Agent Under Fire, the similarities between the game end after the screenshots. EA is promising a whole new aspect of the game, in which they make you think like Bond himself when in certain situations (no, not THOSE situations).https://www.gamequbed.com/news/jap-hardware-sales/Thu, 17 Oct 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/news/jap-hardware-sales/It’s always a good thing win Nintendos on top.

Metroid Prime seems to be taking the best of each of the first person and side-scrolling perspectives and merging them into what will be a compelling experience. Much of the outcry from the fans on the announcement of the expected 3rd to 1st person transition occurred due to the possible game limitations of playing from a 1st person perspective.https://www.gamequbed.com/announcements/news-failure/Tue, 15 Oct 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/announcements/news-failure/Hey, we are currently having news problems so please be patient.

What’s it all about? It’s a campaign run by an unknown source in the UK that says video games are a rip-off. You see, Europeans are paying way over what is needed for their games. They pay Ł45 for video games, which I believe is around $75-$80 US. It’s an outrage they are paying this much, and something is finally being done because games don’t cost nearly that amount to produce.https://www.gamequbed.com/news/activision-buys-luxoflux/Sat, 12 Oct 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/news/activision-buys-luxoflux/Luxoflux, developer of hit titles such as Vigilante 8 for the Nintendo 64, have been bought out by Activision.

The reason is simple: maybe I have grown up and can’t seem to find the kind of beauty and imagination that Sunshine offers, or maybe it is because I’m trained to like every Mario game that comes out, and for the most part, I have loved each and every one of Sunshine’s predecessors.https://www.gamequbed.com/news/pokemon-ruby-and-sapphire-box-art/Sat, 05 Oct 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/news/pokemon-ruby-and-sapphire-box-art/The box art for the Japanese versions of Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire have been revealed!

Should we be subjected, once again, to these “classics,” albeit is a portable format? In this case of Castlevania, the answer is resounding ‘yes’. Castlevania has been around for along time, it’s origins are hidden deep in the mists of time somewhere in the 8-bit era.https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/konami-krazy-racers/Mon, 08 Apr 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/konami-krazy-racers/At the height of Nintendo’s dominance in the SNES era, came a innovative little racing game that would spark an absolute multitude of clones. Super Mario Kart took Nintendo’s most popular icons away at the time away from their endearing adventures for a day to enjoy some go-kart racing. Little did they know that the ultimate success of this Mode 7 masterpiece would pave the way for every popular gaming character to have his or her’s own piece of the racing pie, ranging from Muppets, to Crash Bandicoot.https://www.gamequbed.com/announcements/daylight-savings/Sun, 07 Apr 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/announcements/daylight-savings/I hope all of you don’t forget to set the time ahead one hour on your Gamecubes.

First thing on the agenda is to notify you that this game is far from being the perfect sports game for all fans. All baseball purists out there (and we do know you’re out there) will be devastated when they get their hands on this game, as it lacks the true depth it should have.https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/the-mayan-adventure/Thu, 04 Apr 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/the-mayan-adventure/Pitfall has been around for a long, long time. One of the first ever platform games, its 1982 debut predates even Super Mario!

Their first effort for the gba is a new action/RPG called Magical Vacation, which follows in The Secret of Mana’s footsteps by focusing on team play and communication. Very few games in this genre end up becoming classic gaming experiences but if The Secret of Mana is anything to go by then Magical Vacation is destined to join the ranks of great gba RPG games like Golden Sun.https://www.gamequbed.com/features/resident-evil-review/Fri, 29 Mar 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/features/resident-evil-review/Movies based on video games have been criticized many times. And I agree that there hasn’t been a good movie based on a videogame yet. Producers have made many attempts to lift this curse, but it seems that video games and movies just don’t mix. Some attempts include Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Tomb Raider, and many more including a movie with a sick looking Mario and Luigi. What’s next? Well the new batch includes the Resident Evil Series.https://www.gamequbed.com/features/system-comparisons/Thu, 28 Mar 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/features/system-comparisons/I’m tired of hearing people say Xbox is better because it’s a computer or GameCube is better because it has Mario.

This is the first version released in the good ol’ US of A. This is a good introduction for us Americans to the series, and I’m hoping for more. Maybe there will be a GCN version; you never know.

This led to Nintendo producing a high quality gaming system and games that attracted high audiences. Once they launched their console called NES [Nintendo Entertainment System] and a few games one of them, Mario who was a smash hit. Soon three games featuring Mario were created and soon Nintendo made another console called the SNES [Super Nintendo Entertainment System].https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/skies-of-arcadia/Fri, 22 Mar 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/skies-of-arcadia/This RPG has been rescued and thanks to Sega will be landing on the GameCube late 2002.

This summer is going to be a decisive factor in Nintendo’s success, as a couple of major franchise hits are waiting in the wings for the Gamecube and the Gameboy Advance. We’re not talking about some churned over PS2 port or some Dreamcast screw up (Crazy Taxi for Gamecube anyone?), but rather the names that define gaming itself…or more specifically Mario Sunshine and the tentatively titled “Zelda” for Gamecube.https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/dk-coconut-crackers/Sun, 17 Mar 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/dk-coconut-crackers/Still when it was shown at last year’s E3, Donkey Kony Coconut Crackers looked and played like a treat. It’s a difficult game to explain; essentially the easiest way to get an image in your head is to imagine Tetris on an isometric plan. Though don’t think this game involves the subject graphics! Ok, I’ll try and break it down some more. The game is basically presented in an isometric view that can be changed in the game to over-head view, but for the sake of quick thinking, so far it seems that isometric view is easier to use in the game.https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/rune/Sun, 17 Mar 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/rune/RPG fans who are planning to get a GameCube should already be impressed by the list of title for the system, and the most exciting one of them is Rune. Not to be confused with the awful PS2 game of the same name, Rune is one of those titles that screams quality.

Ever since I first played a Sonic game on the Dreamcast I’ve loved it. The series has come a long way since then. Although this game is 3d it plays a lot like its 2d counterparts, which is great for old school Sonic fans. Although this is a port of a Dreamcast game, it has many improvements and is recommended. The Blue Wonder has never looked better on a new system.https://www.gamequbed.com/features/videogame-violence/Sun, 17 Mar 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/features/videogame-violence/In the ongoing feud over video game violence and its detrimental effects on kids, of course everyone has their own opinions and statements over what they think the leading cause is. I wasn’t too sure on what the big issue on video game violence in children was until I was strolling around in my local Blockbuster one cold afternoon. After having browsed through the new PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube games, I watched some kids, who were probably in grade 2 or grade 1, make their selections on the new PS2 games.https://www.gamequbed.com/announcements/crazy-things-going-on/Wed, 13 Mar 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/announcements/crazy-things-going-on/Recently if you visited the site, you may have noticed that the site warped back a month or so…this was mostly due to our host’s harddisk failure.

Back in October when they announced the launching of the GameCube a few days after the XBOX, people thought Nintendo was mad. But Nintendo somehow knew that everything would come into place for them. SquareSoft developing for Nintendo: that will make a huge impact in 5 years. Think about the gamers in Japan. Since Japanese gamers are into RPGs more so than the rest of the other genres, the GameCube will do great now that Square is backing them.https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/sonic-advance/Wed, 13 Feb 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/sonic-advance/I have always loved the old school side scrolling gameplay that is in Sonic Advance. When I heard it was coming to the GBA, I went out and bought it straight away. This game simply rocks - with 4 characters to choose from and many levels this game is a must have for anyone who owns a GBA. This game also one of the first games to feature the GBA/GCN connection, and is intended to interface with Sonic Adventure 2: Battle for the Gamecube.https://www.gamequbed.com/features/console-comparisons/Mon, 11 Feb 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/features/console-comparisons/If you’ve been reading this site in the past you may have read the article I wrote on comparing the next generation controllers.

Yes it sounds crazy but what if your GBA can be used online! How will this work? It’s sure is a revolutionary step for Nintendo.

The graphics are bland and dead, the gameplay is boring and uninspired, and the story is another save-Gotham-city-and-rescue-the-girl format that we’ve seen too often. What about the graphics?

Without its death I wouldn’t be having so much fun with Super Monkey Ball. I must say this game is great for single player and multiplayer. After playing this game for a while you’ll make up your own style (jumping off the course in hopes of landing on it below) and it will become nothing but great laughs. The graphics in this game were not meant to be realistic yet a rather cartoony sort of game.https://www.gamequbed.com/news/ssbm-gc/Mon, 14 Jan 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/news/ssbm-gc/As many people know Super Smash Brothers Melee has lots of secrets, including some that most people don’t know about.

Crazy Taxi first came out as an arcade game and was then brought to the Dreamcast. Now that Acclaim has the rights to this title they brought it to GameCube. This game has decent graphics but they are direct from Dreamcast so they aren’t spectacular. SEGA didn’t give Acclaim much freedom in this game and you basically get a pixel for pixel port from the Dreamcast version.https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/final-fight-one/Sun, 13 Jan 2002 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/final-fight-one/Over the years we have seen many 2D fighters such as: Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Ninja Turtles and my favorite, Final Fight. It was twelve years ago since it came out on the SNES, long before I can remember. But now it’s back to start the new millennium on the Game Boy Advance. Capcom did a good job bringing it back from the dead.

I’m not much of a galactic shooter fan, except for Star Fox 64. I’m also not much of fan of Star Wars games, although they are the best movie-to-game series there is available these days. This game just rules though, and it does a fantastic job of making you Luke Skywalker as you blast away at those TIE fighters. Graphics. They are superb.

This is what the GameCube was meant to push, and it shows.https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/sonic-advance/Tue, 13 Nov 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/sonic-advance/At last, we have the classic racing game featuring Mario and all of his pals that we can bring on those long road trips! This will be Mario’s second release on the gba, and there is no doubt in my mind that it’s going to be a good one. You will still be able to use items to annoy your opponents, and, from the looks of it, a whole new set of tracks to race on.https://www.gamequbed.com/features/gamecube-playage/Mon, 12 Nov 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/features/gamecube-playage/Yes, I finally had the opportunity to play the Gamecube this weekend at Toys ‘R Us, and my first impressions on the system were excellent. The controller was the best part of the Gamecube experience, besides the games. The controller conforms to your hands perfectly, and you instantly know where every button is, except for the X and Y buttons, which take a bit of getting used to. The Z button was not a problem at are, so you can dismiss any second thoughts of the Z button being awkward to reach.https://www.gamequbed.com/features/this-whole-system-concept/Fri, 09 Nov 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/features/this-whole-system-concept/This is something that has been bothering me for quite some time now, so I thought I would like to get it off my chest. It has to do with the three competing consoles, the fanboys for each system, and how consoles divide us and unite us, when they really shouldn’t. I’m disturbed when I go to sites and I see things like “PS2 sucks” and “Xbox can go to hell.https://www.gamequbed.com/announcements/new-column-added/Thu, 08 Nov 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/announcements/new-column-added/Is this entertainment centre idea really all it’s cracked up to be?

Sony and XBox are practicing it, but why isn’t Nintendo jumping on the bandwagon? Sony says that the PS2 is more than just an entertainment machine: it is a portal to your entertainment world. What they mean by this is that the PS2 will be your gateway to your all-in-one entertainment centre, which includes listening to music, playing DVD’s, games, and online capabilities which will allow people to chat, play games, and exchange data over a wide network.https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/tony-hawks-pro-skater-2/Wed, 07 Nov 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/tony-hawks-pro-skater-2/Verdict 99% When my Wal-Mart put this baby on the shelves nearly one week early, I was the first there to snag it.

Of the allocated 450,000 units available at launch, people estimate that 60 to 70% had been sold in the first three days!

It looks extremely similar to Mario Party, besides the fact that you’re looking for jewels instead of stars.https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/f-zero-maximum-velocity/Fri, 22 Jun 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/f-zero-maximum-velocity/Back in 1992, nearly a decade ago, F-Zero was one of many games released for the Super Nintendo launch, a racing game known for its furious speed. It wasn’t very bad, yet it wasn’t very good. In 1999, F-Zero X came out on the N64, and this extreme racing game has finally become 3D. Now in 2001, F-Zero once again became a launch title, in the form of F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, this time for the new 32-bit handheld, the Game Boy Advance.https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/resident-evil-0/Sun, 17 Jun 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/resident-evil-0/Resident Evil 0 is the direct prequel to the Resident Evil, and it will feature some never before seen new gameplay methods, new guns, and whole lot more… Some features include the best of the Resident Evil game to date. You get to witness how Racoon City becomes Zombie Ville. The scary, dark scenes will make you shiver from fright; not knowing what is around the next corner. Also, it will feature the same great game play as previous Resident Evil’s, so people who play it alot will become quickly accustomed to the controls.https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/the-legend-of-zelda-gc/Sun, 17 Jun 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/the-legend-of-zelda-gc/The Zelda series are simply incredible. They have changed the adventure/platforming genre and have continued to push gaming to new heights. It’s no wonder that Nintendo is going to have to work overtime and use every resource at their command to ensure that this game lives up to everyone’s expectations. The brief technical demo that we saw fired the imaginations of everyone present who saw it. What was witnessed was a scene in which Gannondorf and Link were going head on in a battle with swords.https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/super-smash-bros-melee/Fri, 15 Jun 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/super-smash-bros-melee/What can I say about this game now? It looks AMAZING. Remember playing Super Smash Brothers on your Nintendo 64? If you didn’t, then you should go find that game and play it, it’s amazing. I have no doubt that the sequel on GameCube will be awesome. I downloaded a 9 meg movie of the game, the graphics are very impressive. Everything is 3-D unlike the N64 version which was 2 ˝ D.https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/rayman-advance/Mon, 11 Jun 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/reviews/rayman-advance/I finally made my way to Wal-Mart, and headed straight to the games! With $50 in my pocket and an urge for a new GBA game, I looked no further then further than the man with no limbs, Rayman. Even without his arms, he still packs one hell of a punch. You jump and you run, can it be any easier? Actually, it ain’t easy, to say the least. This game is great fun.https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/pikmin/Sun, 03 Jun 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/pikmin/Developed by Miyamotyo himself, Pikmin features innovative controls that make for deep gameplay. The basic storyline is you gather Pikmin for an army, and they follow you until you command them to do certain tasks. The ultimate goal is to find pieces of your crashed spaceship and leave the area you’ve crashed into. The main gameplay surprisingly consists of only two buttons, the left analogue stick to control your character, and the A button which calls the Pikmin to you.https://www.gamequbed.com/news/2001-06-archive/Fri, 01 Jun 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/news/2001-06-archive/Friday, June 22, 2001 Staff needed Posted by Jed Yes, you’ve read right.

The water graphics are unreal, and are among the finest ever water physics. When weather patterns change, with frequent regularity, the water takes on different forms. The water can be either a violent storm with twisting waves or a calm, peaceful lake without a wave in sight!https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/dave-mirra-freestyle-bmx-2/Fri, 18 May 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/dave-mirra-freestyle-bmx-2/Dave Mirra is the sequel to the successful Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX, and by the looks of it, it could be to BMXing what Tony Hawk is to skateboarding.

Well, I’m sure we all know the Superman story. His home planet, Krypton, was blown up, and he was sent to Earth. He get’s a hang of his super powers, and meets Lois, who works at the newspaper company. Perhaps maybe we’ll see even a side-story, or a prequel (that would be cool.) Who knows?

This list is in no particular order. Gamecube Nintendo surprised us all with the unveiling of the Nintendo GameCube. Prior to Spaceworld, there was a mass of jumbled rumors circulating around the gaming world, such as the name, online play, DVD playing capabilities, and such. But now that Spaceworld has put most of our minds at ease, what’s in it for the future?https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/nintendo-software-at-e3/Sun, 15 Apr 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/nintendo-software-at-e3/After the announcement that Nintendo would unveil the GameCube software on May 16 at 10 AM, it got lots of people excited, especially Nintendo fans.. Most of you are probably trying to figure out what kind of games are going to be unveiled. I have put a list together that could be very close to the official software. Just keep in mind that this list is not official or real in any way, just kind of a guess, but these guesses are from the knowledge I have of Nintendo and 2nd parties and 3rd parties and so forth and so on.https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/nintendos-game-may-be-over/Tue, 03 Apr 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/nintendos-game-may-be-over/I recently came across this article on Forbes’ website - http://www.forbes.com/2001/04/02/0402nintendo.html. This article is the most biased, opinionated thing I have ever seen in my life. I sent an email to Forbes about this… _“To Whom this may Concern, I just want to say that you’re analysis was the most contradictive, biased thing I have ever read about the console wars concerning Nintendo, X Box and the PS2. Maybe if you had done some research instead of listening to the hype surrounding the PS2 and X Box, you would have found that Nintendo is widely recognized in gaming/development circles as a honorable, high quality game developer who has been in the business for over 50 years.https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/nintendos-new-approach/Mon, 19 Feb 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/nintendos-new-approach/Okay, I want to tell everyone something that has been annoying the heck out of me…Zelda, and it’s controversial showing at Spaceworld. In this day and age, especially in the gaming industry, companies are running around rampant with sequels and prequels to their first released title that was a smash success the first time around (i.e. Mortal Kombat). Nintendo is a highly unique and innovative company that strives to deliver fresh and new gameplay ideas.https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/indrema-say-what/Fri, 26 Jan 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/indrema-say-what/The first I had ever heard of this “console” was in the Next Generation magazine. I was interested, so I decided to take a closer look at it. Console The Indrema has a sleek, no-nonsense look about it, and judging by the system design, it is also very small. The game port looks like it will support something other than a Mini-DVD, DVD or anything else remotely resembling a disk.https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/nuon-the-little-system-that-could/Fri, 26 Jan 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/nuon-the-little-system-that-could/Okay, the Nuon is not a gaming playing machine par-se, it is actually a DVD playing machine that lets you enhance your current DVD movie, but it also manages to play games. Nuon isn’t designed to take on Gamecube, X Box, PS and Sega head-on, it is geared towards the masses with an image of a DVD player, but can also play games. From a gaming point of view, it’s not what the average hard-core gamer would want, or even the casual gamer.https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/sega-what-went-wrong/Tue, 23 Jan 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/sega-what-went-wrong/I’m sure most of you are aware that Sega has made an announcement stating that all future production of the Sega Dreamcast will come to a halt. Sega also mentioned that they would be stepping down from a console company to strictly a software development house, with their sites set on bringing their unique talent to their once rival gaming companies. What is strange is the fact that in November, during a presentation for Japanese gaming journalists, Sega clearly stated that the future of Sega does not include “software development for other companies.https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/the-online-connection/Sun, 21 Jan 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/the-online-connection/Broadband. Internet. Modem. Where do you hear these terms used the most right now? Computers. But, broadband is becoming increasingly crucial to a next generation console makers’ company strategy, all except Nintendo. Currently, PS2 and Xbox are fighting to be the home entertainment centre. They want their system to be the hub for your communication needs, download needs, and game playing needs. Nintendo, however, true to their form, chooses the path less traveled in the gaming industry and opts for a different experience.https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/the-system-wars/Sun, 14 Jan 2001 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/the-system-wars/Okay, people, now that we all have a good grasp on each systems abilities and…disabilites, which one are you going to buy? Is it the all-in-one PS2, the beefed up X Box or the small yet cheap Gamecube? Asking myself this, I decided to create a poll on it. I know many people complained of the bias, but if this wasn’t a Gamecube site, then the results would certainly be different.https://www.gamequbed.com/features/christmas-list/Mon, 25 Dec 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/features/christmas-list/Alright, this may have been released a tad bit late, but nonetheless, here are the Top 12 Games/Consoles for Christmas! This list is in no particular order. PS2 Yes, the hot item this year has to be the PS2. Heck, it’s even getting news coverage; since it is almost impossible to find one. Just one word of advice; don’t trust those savvy internet dealers, people have been trying to sell them at 1000 dollars apiece!https://www.gamequbed.com/features/comparisons/Wed, 13 Dec 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/features/comparisons/Well, the groundskeepers at NOA have just updated their site, and it includes some new pictures comparing our beloved GameCube to the Nintendo 64 system, as well as the GameBoy Color! You’ll be pleasantly surprised when you see the results. It’s amazing how Nintendo could squeeze so much power into something so small. I like the idea of a compact system, but personally, the GameCube seems a little bland for my taste.https://www.gamequbed.com/features/gamecube-unveiled/Sun, 05 Nov 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/features/gamecube-unveiled/Well, at Spaceworld 2000, the new system for Nintendo was finally announced! Yes, indeed, my friends, the secret is now finally unveiled! This system is completely what I wouldn’t expect from Nintendo. The controller sports a pretty nifty design that seems like a cross between PlayStation’s controller and DreamCasts design. The D-Pad and analog stick are located on the right, while what has to be the yellow analog stick and 4 buttons are on the left, with the L and R buttons on the top.https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/where-ive-been/Sun, 05 Nov 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/where-ive-been/For anyone who cares, I’ve done a little editorial explaining what I’ve been up to If you look on feature, system competition and editorial Gamecube, I have added a handy side bar displaying all the related links in that section. I’ll also update one for games. Plus, all of my affiliates are now in alphabetical order, so it is much easier to navigate. My Meta Tags for some of my Gamecube didn’t display correctly, and some didn’t even have any on them.https://www.gamequbed.com/features/nintendo-launch-dates/Thu, 02 Nov 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/features/nintendo-launch-dates/What still remains the hype as Spaceworld 200 plunges on, is GameBoy Advance. It’s almost impossible to play GB on the floor, as there are so much pupils around (the line-ups are about an hour long.) So, you may ask yourself, what is all the hype about? Well, NGN delivers again, with some GB Advance updates.

Only three out of four systems will have a place in the next generation system, and we get set to experience the ultimate choice between life and death of a console…the Holiday Season. With this editorial, I plan to discuss the pros and cons of each system, as well as it’s current standing in the video game market. Nintendo 64 As shown from our previous poll, the Nintendo 64 may very well be on death row.https://www.gamequbed.com/features/majoras-mask/Wed, 18 Oct 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/features/majoras-mask/Content missing: some media hosted by IGN and linked to by the article If anything or anyone has the power to put the stop to this thing called PlayStation 2, it’s going to be Shigeru Miyamotyo and Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. What Nintendo did is expand on OoT, added a couple of new features and ideas; and we have an OoT-type feel to it, but a completely new and different way of playing games.https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/saffire/Thu, 14 Sep 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/saffire/Saffire started out as an N64 game, but then turned into a Gamecube and PS2 port. Thankfully, the awesome power of both systems respectively will make for a great gaming experience when you play Saffire. The story of Saffire is a rather intriguing one. Zeus saw the havoc that his fellow Gods were creating on the earth, so he decided to seal off all of his enemies in the underworld. Centuries later, a modern group of archeologists uncover the hidden demons and release all the evil into the world.https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/whats-next-for-sega/Sun, 10 Sep 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/whats-next-for-sega/It’s been a long time since I have done an editorial, but I decided to talk a little bit about what’s in store for Sega in the future. I can remember the one day back in the Christmas of ‘92, or was it ‘93? I can’t remember. Anyway, I was at my cousin’s house for Christmas, and I was really eager to open up my gifts. I guess I was expecting the usual things, like toys, or a book, or something.https://www.gamequbed.com/features/playstation-2-launch/Fri, 08 Sep 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/features/playstation-2-launch/We mainly cover Nintendo news on this site, but this is not a phenomenon to ignore. IGNPS2 was on hand around the San Francisco Bay Area to bring you first hand coverage on the official PS2 launch. If the Japanese launch was any indication, the PlayStation 2, or Sony for that matter, will have a rippling effect beyond anything we can imagine. Sony cut the initial shipment of PS2’s from about a million to 500,000, which you can read about here.https://www.gamequbed.com/features/reliving-bond/Fri, 08 Sep 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/features/reliving-bond/Okay, every loyal Nintendo fan is waiting in eager anticipation of Nintendo Gamecube. But, how do you pass the time, you ask. Well, the answer is simple. Grab a copy of James Bond 007 for the N64 and three other friends who don’t take too kindly to losing against the odds. Okay, so now that that’s settled, fire her up. You must, repeat must set “Turbo Mode” and “Infinite Ammo” on when you enter the cheat menu.https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/why-nintendo-will-win/Sun, 27 Aug 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/editorials/why-nintendo-will-win/Nintendo will rock your world. With their new NCube design at Spaceworld 2000, Nintendo has proved once again that they will emerge leaders of the videogame industry. Nintendo is taking a big risk by launching a completely different system, with a completely different design for their system. A perfectly symmetrical box, sporting 5 stylish colors is something just crazy enough to work. Nintendo led the next-generation of gaming when they announced the Nintendo64.https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/thornado/Sun, 13 Aug 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/thornado/I’m sure that most of you have heard of Thornado by now, but what the hell is it? Well, being developed by Factor 5, this game was originally scheduled to put in an appearance on Nintendo 64, but was wisely decided to put on hold until better technology came out, hence GameCube. The actual story behind Thornado-we can only speculate. My best guess is that the planet has been invaded by aliens, and Thor is the only guy that can save the world and restore it back to normal.https://www.gamequbed.com/features/spaceworld-play-by-play/Sun, 06 Aug 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/features/spaceworld-play-by-play/Spaceworld kicked off with a brief announcement by Nintendo’s VP. He outlined the specifics of Gameboy Advance, a price point. After, he branched off into Nintendo’s new next-generation console, the GameCube. He went on to say how that “Dolphin” was simply the code name, and how it would not be used as the name for their final product. From then on, it was pure party. The VP cleared the stage, and then in whips of smoke and a flash of fire, 5 Japanese women danced onto stage, each holding a different color of the GameCube, while the screen behind them displayed the name of it.https://www.gamequbed.com/features/spaceworld/Sat, 29 Jul 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/features/spaceworld/Content missing: images referenced in the article Well, my friends, as SpaceWorld 2000 comes to a close, why not sit back and think on the greatest moment since the Nintendo 64?

The physics models are astounding, so astounding that doing backflips requires no “secret code”; all you do is tilt your bike back sharply on the lip of a jump. You can watch your tires individually bump over the uneven terrain in the race track and do a realistic slide around a turn, pmud spray included.https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/stunt-driver/Tue, 23 May 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/stunt-driver/The only reason I didn’t do a preview for this earlier was because that I didn’t feel that it was a real title for Gamecube.

So we will definitely have ISS for Gamecube.https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/kameo-elements-of-power/Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/kameo-elements-of-power/Content missing: publication date The story of Kameo is kinda weird, so I won’t go into too much detail. Basically, a fairy princess’s (Kameo) objective is to rescue the six elemental ancestors from an evil troll, Thorn. Her objective is to also capture young creatures and raise them into monsters, much like Pokemon and Pikmin. Many people are choosing the easy way out of making a complex button system for the Gamecube, as is evident in Rare’s current button scheme.https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/luigis-haunted-mansion/Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/luigis-haunted-mansion/Content missing: publication date After taking to the shadows to let his superstar brother shine in the limelight for nearly 10 years, our beloved Luigi finally gets a Gamecube game of his own. This game is like no other I’ve ever seen. Luigi must traverse through an eerie haunted mansion armed with only a GB Color and a combination flashlight/vacuum. The object is for him to suck up all the ghosts that inhibit this mansion.https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/meowths-party/Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/meowths-party/Content missing: publication date During Spaceworld, a few screens were depicting Meowth dancing around.

I mean, It has it all; a dark and cool plot, almost-real characters, realistic graphics, and perfect sound. Oh, and don’t forget the infinite replay value of the game and multiplayer and the co-op modes. As you can see, the n64 version of this game was packed into a little cartridge by developer Rare and this game was perfect, so imagine what they could do with a system that has no limitations?https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/picassio/Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/picassio/Content missing: publication date I was looking forward to this game for some reason, and I don’t really know why, but now that I got a closer look at it, I am impressed! Unlike the earlier releases of PS2 games, Nintendo already has some great next-gen games in the works that can use Gamecube’s full potential to create a stunning game like this. In Picassio, your character has been hired by a rich art collector to steal the most impressive pieces of art available.https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/rebirth/Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/rebirth/Content missing: publication date Rebirth is another showing of the technical advancement that Nintendo and Mix-Core have created. Realistic fogging, motion blur, and so many other creations that were so realistic, it was incredible. Watch the movies, and you’ll see what I mean!https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/star-wars-rogue-squadron-2/Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/star-wars-rogue-squadron-2/Content missing: publication date This is it, for all of you Star Wars fanatics, the Star Wars series is set to make an appearance on Gamecube, with Factor 5 taking the honor this time of “continuing the saga”. RS2 is set to bring you a completely new Star Wars experience. By the looks of it, it looked way too realistic and in-depth to be nothing except another working Gamecube title, which, I might add, was running all in real-time, on the Gamecube’s hardware.https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/super-mario-128/Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/previews/super-mario-128/Content missing: publication date, author When you think of Nintendo, what do you think of? I bet 95% of you think of Mario, snd that’s a good thing. Without Mario, Nintendo wouldn’t have been as successful as they wanted to be. Mario changed games forever.

Now, he will appear on the greatest console yet… the Nintendo Gamecube!https://www.gamequbed.com/features/the-competition/Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 +0000https://www.gamequbed.com/features/the-competition/Content missing: Original publication date As we enter the next generation of video gaming, which system/company is going to take us their?
