Another month, another batch of rumors. This month's catch is particularly spicy, it seems more information comes out after every E3, and this year is no exeption. Our informants have been very good to us this month, and we have exclusive details about Nintendo's upcoming game machine. Here goes:
OUR NINTENDO INSIDER SAYS: "The concept phase for the NR is basically over. We know more or less what we are going for. At this point, I can say it's all wireless, has capacity for more than 4 controllers, and it will not use disk media. Want more? Too bad sucka'. That's all I got."
Not enough? Not for us either, so we managed to contact him via AIM and get some more details
Eurogamer: First off, it won't use disk media?
Nintendo: No, at least, not at this point. We are heavily considering a new kind of flash media that could prove much more effective. Although costs are relatively high now, we expect them to go down soon.
Eurogamer: Any hints as to what it will look like?
Nintendo: Imagine a cross between an NES, a GBASP, and an XBOX. It's somewhere along those lines. Bigger than GC, rectangular, and black, white, grey, and red.
Eurogamer: Last question, before we put you in jail. Any games in development yet.
Nintendo: I'm not part of the game dev. But I have been hearing some rumbling about a new series called "Haunter". You guess what it is, because I have no idea, other than it uses some fancy effects.
That was spicy wasn't it? This is coming from the guy that said something "Megaton/Zelda" was coming this E3. So he's a sure shot when it comes to trust.
More Rumors:
Bungie Insider: Halo for the GBA is not happening, at Bungie. But we are selling the rights to a developer to make the GBA version.
Sega Insider: F-Zero GX2 is ready for it's debut, look for screens in the coming month. New features will indlude bigger tracks, WAY more cars, and new "sidecars". Trust me, it's cooler than it sounds.
Random Madness!!!
-Halo 2 for PC is still under development at Bungie. But it won't be announced until after Halo 2 for XBOX is out. But it's release will be holiday 2004.
-EA will publish the Desert Combat Retail mod. It will sell for $30, and will feature new models, weapons, and levels.
