Time Splitters 2 is a
new first person shooting game from Eidos Interactive. It will
feature four player shooting action and a one player adventure
mode. This game is being developed by the people who made the
best-selling Golden Eye for Nintendo 64. The story involves
various characters that chase criminals trough nine historical
eras. They include medieval Paris, Wild Wild West, Siberia,
Chicago Gang Wars and others. This game will also offer great
death scenes and some humor. It is probably going to be a hit
when it comes out. |

Animal Crossing could
be said to be Nintendo's version of the Sims. It is the same
concept except you will only control one character. You will
live, work, study, play, buy new stuff, decorate your home and meet
other characters in this game. This game has many actual NES
games on it to keep you busy. Of course you will have to buy a
NES in the game to play them. You will also be able to connect
your GBA to this game so you can unlock special features. The
game will work with the internal clock within the Gamecube so when it
is night in the real world it would be night in the game. This
game looks promising. |

I just saw the new Kirby website
from Nintendo and Hall Studios. The website focuses on Kirby's
new TV show "Kirby: Right Back at Ya!" which will air
in the US Saturday mornings on the FOX network starting September 14,
2002. Kirby is a star along the lines of Luigi, Samus,
Link, Star Fox and other Nintendo characters. He recently
appeared in the game Super Smash Bros. Melee from Nintendo. His ability to suck in enemies and absorb their
powers makes him a unique character. The
website features lots of downloads and pretty cool animations. I
have to warn you that it takes about a minute to load in 56.6k
modem but it is worth the wait. You can also sign up for
the Kirby newsletter to learn the latest on the Kirby TV show. Click
