Now, love OtakuBoy back. =OtakuBoy Speaketh ========================================= Oh MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe all the PSX stuff today. I'm just foaming at the mouth. I can't contain it all; my head's going to blow (president clinton). Sorry, that joke was uncalled for. In any case, there is an awful lot of PSX stuff today. Lots of previews, reviews, news... Everything! But there's also one little N64 items that 's sure you blow (heheh) your mind. ----------- In fact, let's lead with N64 and that little item that's gonna blow your mind this evening. Just a little interview with Titus, developers of the upcoming "Superman" title. It's over on NintenDojo. Check it out. FGNOnline reports that "Body Harvest" is coming out! They are real skimpy on any details, I guess figuring everyone already knows about it since it's been in development for three- and-a-half years. So, I found a nice preview for ya at Videogames.com. Oh, remember "Quest 64?" Sure, ya do. I do, too. Well, can you believe that the Japanese version has yet to be released? Well, I don't know if that's exactly true, but 64 Source has news on a game based on it that's set to hit Japan. I remembered this game yesterday from my NES days. You raced little cars around twisty turvy tracks and, occa- sionally, you could pick rockets and all kinds of stuff to do away with your opponents! YES! RC Pro Am Racing! Re- member? Well, guess what's destined to hit N64? No, not RC Pro Am, but something similar. Details at 64 Source. Meanwhile, N64 Gamer has the goods on the wrestlers destined to be in the upcoming "WWF Attitude." Worried the little Pokemon critters won't make the grade in the U.S. I say: B.S.! So does FGNOnline! They've gots numbers to prove it. And when you're done with that, check out news about a "Turok 2" comic book on 64Source! You know, it's not that I'm trying to hurt the PSX fans in the audience, it's just that there's so much PSX stuff today that if I were to put it up top (or in the middle) it would put the newsletter off-balance; it's center of gravity would shift. Next thing you know, I'm being sued by unfortunate souls whose Otakuboy fell on their heads. I'm not risking it, fella. We'll get to PSX a little later So, on to Dreamcast and a super nifty feature on IGN Dreamcast that lists every single title done and in- development title, each with a small descriptive blurb designed to satisfy that gnawing Dreamcast hunger. (IGN Dreamcast REALLY satisfies!) Then head on over to Dreamcaster.net and check out second titles coming from Game Arts and Warp. Also on Dreamcaster.net: a tiny story that maybe, just maybe, "Virtua Fighter RPG" is a hoax or vaporware or piss-you-off-ware. Meanwhile, I've been trying, like the dickens -- Charles Dickens -- to find you a content filled news story about Namco's new arcade board and how to relates to Dreamcast. I CAN'T FIND ONE. Everyone has these tiny stories ranging from "Namco has a new arcade board, cha cha cha," to "Namco has a new arcade board, cha cha cha, sir!" So, I've pulled together the best three stories -- from Digital Ages, Dreamcaster.net, and SegaX. Check them all out for facts, analysis, and cha cha cha! And in Saturn info: Capcom just may have lost its patience with the machine. What do you I mean? I don't mean anything. But Digital Ages does. Ok all you PSX groupies! (I count myself among your breast-heavin' brethren.) First, we've been seeing a lot of Tokyo Game Show stuff, but most of it focuses on the Sega CreamFest. So, what about a Tokyo Game Show wrap-up from the PSX-perspective? PSXMax puts on Sega-blinders for you and pulls out all the Sony stuff. Also on PSXMax: Kingboxer is back with a new set of rumors, including a news of a new fighter or two. (Why can't they have "lover" games? Say a game where you take someone out on a date. Ah, what fun.) Capcom visited IGNPSX today -- and mowed every employee down. No, seriously, they brought "Street Fighter Alpha 3" with them. IGNPSX has a tiny review and a set of shots. Bless Console Domain's heart for writing two blockbuster previews today -- they're damn near reviews. Find out the info on "Populous: The Beginning" and "Starcon!" And if you like to play contrast-and-compare, please head on over to Gamepost for ANOTHER preview of Populous. Hype.se previews "RC Stunt Copter." The game seemed so silly I had to include a link to the preview! ;) Also, Videogames.com rams you upside yo' head with two cool previews: Shots of the upcoming RPG powerhouse "Suikoden 2" and shots and a movie of "Twisted Metal 3." Want my advice? Skip Twisted Metal shots; go for the movie. Hehehehe. Videogames.com also has an import-review of "All Japan Woman Pro Wrestling." I won't tell you how the review went, but I say wait for "All Japan Woman Pro Mud Wrestling" and "All Japan Woman Pro Jello Wrestling." Ah, brings back the good ole' days, don't it? I mean "Activision Classics." Digital Ages reviews. Meanwhile, Videogames.com runs a review of "Bomberman World," the first PSX Bomberman Title. Dum-de-dum... OH! Here's a couple of last minute items. FGNOnline has news of the release of "Duke Nukem: Time To Kill," and on a possible "Lego Racers" for PSX? Wow! Gamespot runs the full story on a Psygnosis shop- closings in England. And -- GASP -- Square closes an FMV shop? Say it ain't so, FGNOnline! Uncontrolled. Unhinged. Uninspirational. This is Otakuboy. And I am history. ============================================================ -- Look! Up on NintenDojo!
