Nintendo to show only 8 games at Tokyo Game Show!

    It looks like N64 owners will be very disappointed at Nintendo's showing at this year's TGS.  There will be NO first-party software for Nintendo at TGS and Nintendo will only unveil 8 demos at this years TGS!  On the bright side however, the Game Boy Advance will have at least 18 titles on display and 49 new titles will be on display for the GB.  At least Nintendo loyalists can look towards new GBA and GB software to wipe away the N64 blues.

Sad European release date woes!

    The European release dates for upcoming N64 titles seem kind of sluggish thus far and some titles have seem to hit a tidal wave of delays!  Pokemon Snap is set for release on Sept. 15, Mario Party 2 is still set for a October 13th release and on November 3rd, Mario Tennis is set for release.  Even Excitebike 64 isn't even OUT in Europe yet: It is still scheduled for a early 2001 release.  Will these plans stay true? Probably not but for now lets hope most of these LATE European releases doesn't affect the European holiday system.
