Web Updates for March '98 NEW!
Perhaps the most famous lovable dinosaur at all - erm, green not purple - is Yoshi, the happy-go-lucky steed. It's been 250 million years since his species roamed the Earth, and thanks to the splendiferous advances in computer technology, they're back! Yoshi stars in an all-new adventure now hitting the N64 named Yoshi's Story, and we've decided this cart deserves a full review all its own. That big nose is impossible to resist. It's only the latest notch in ever-expanding library of goodness gracing our screens this generation. Wondering about our favorite releases thus far this generation? Our incoming PPM Player Awards should remedy that right quick.
Web Updates for February '98
64-Bit action was on full display during the joyously hectic Nintendo SpaceWorld event. More intriguing than any game reveal was Pres. Yamauchi's pledge to redirect the company's focus away from heavy-hitter favorites toward titles with social impact, emphasizing the success of Tamagotchi, in particular. It's not just Nintendo, either. Home gaming is closing in on mimicking the arcade experience, embellishing socializing elements moreso than solo play. MK 64 and Goldeneye are at their best in multi-player mode, after all. Now with internet capabilities linking computers worldwide, games like Ultima Online are generating entire virtual communities!
Web Updates for January '98
As the final, mumbled bars of Auld Land Syne fade away, and we all try to remember what day we're meant to take the tree down on, we find ourselves staring down the barrel of a new year. There will be time enough for looking back at the treats of '97, but if Nintendo SpaceWorld is any indication, 1998 will be twice as strong. We may be at the threshold of a new Sega console as Saturn peters out into oblivion, and the upcoming 64DD add-on promises more opportunities for N64 developers. Before long players will be guiding Link through a massive 3-D world in Zelda 64, and soar through the air in Panzer Dragoon Saga. For now, enjoy those new games you all got over the holidays. Happy New Year!
