Now on superriffic, magical ICQ! # 21176515 Resouces obtained through Gaming Central! http://www.startpath.com/gamingcentral/ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OtakuBoy loves you. OtakuBoy cares.

Then OtakuBoy tells you where to go get them. OtakuBoy loves you. Now, love OtakuBoy back. =OtakuBoy Speaketh ========================================= Hey, I forgot ta mention last ish about a new sponsor here at OtakuBoy. It's Gaming Central! They're pretty cool, dude, cool. You go there, right, and they've got this big list o' links to all the best videogaming sites. And the only reason I know they're the "best videogaming sites" is because readers vote for the best. So, the one at the top of the list is the very best 'cause readers voted fer it! Gaming Central's also got a cool list of newsletters -- featurin' your's truly. So, check'em out when you get a chance. Slow news day, folkies. But lotsa cool Dreamcast stuff to download and play til yer face turns blue. A little of it BAD NEWS! What is this? International Downer Day? ----------- Dreamcast & Saturn (DC & SAT) And what's bad news? Sega's already stopped Dreamcast pre-orders! Details at FGN Online. Well, maybe that's good news cause that means people _really_ want Dreamcast. Still, this can only be bad news: Capcom cancels "Street Fighter Zero 3" for Saturn. Bye, bye Saturn. Cancels comin' in almost daily now. WEEEEEEEEEEP! But maybe that's ok? Why would Sega want both Saturn and Dreamcast out there. Sega never makes mistakes! Never! Never! Right? Well, Dreamcaster.net runs a nice examination of Dreamcast's real competition. It's long, though, so watch out. Also at Dreamcast, news about confirmation on "Evenstar!" I am creaming at the thought... ;) Hey, man, Sega X kicks ass again! New movies of "Virtua Fighter 3 Team Battle," "Climax Landers," and "Evolution." Collect the entire set! Then, head on over to to Videogames.com to see new pics from CRI's "Buggy Heat." Apparently, this is a game about cars going into heat. Like cats, they purr alot and stick their asses in the air. Honest and fer TRUE! ;) Nintendo 64 (N64) Just how close is this whole console race thing, really. IGN64 tries a new spin on some old numbers. Ho hum. But if you're a N64 fan, and you like numbers, then their new analysis is for you! Heh. Now this is interesting. A strategy guide for an in-store demo. Yeah, that's sure to make the Toys B We employees happy. Nevertheless, if you're dying to be the first on your block to beat the in-store "Turok 2" demo, then head on over to Turok.com. Nintendojo runs part two of their interview with the translator type d00d that works on Zelda. Link's privates revealed! You'll get a rise outta this, boyeeeeee. Nintendo Underground has an interesting preview. A couple of .wavs of "Perfect Dark." I didn't hear them folks, but some people say the sound's none too good. But, sure, you're dying to hear it! A Super Preview (tm) of SuperMan over on IGN64. Long description of what to expect in the game, plus movies and pics. Wowee wow wow! IGN64 also has news of a new Tetris that reacts to you! 64 Source has some initial impressions of Color GameBoy. Some cat over in Hong Kong got his paws on one. Meow. And scroll down a bit on this page at 64 Source to see new pics of "Mario Party." Hey, everyone's been all a-titter ('a-titter' copyright OtakuBoy Online 1998, all rights preserved) over "Body Harvest," so IGN64 tells you to get over it and just decide whether you want to buy the puppy or not. Read their review. Also, enter the "crystal kingdom" over at Gamecenter and their review of "Glover," the story of the white glove than ran away from Michael Jackson's home. PlayStation (PSX) "THERE IS NO HONOR IN A DELAY," said the Klingon game developer to the gaming press-dude. "AND YET, I FEAR WE MUST!" IGNPSX has news of when/where/why "Star Trek: Klingon Academy." Meanwhile, Capcom got a wee bit pissed at all the Web reports about "Resident Evil" and Dreamcast. Hey, trust me! It's a PSX story after all. Check out PSXMax for details. And Bust-A-Move comes to the U.S.? Gaming-Age has the scoop. Woah, a whole set of new "Street Fighter Alpha 3" pics! Cool! Cool! I wanna see movies, though. At least animated .gifs. C'mon guys. Anyway, new pics at Videogames.com. And if you're ready to run out your house and scream "Densha De GO!" (This game apparently has something to do with steam-engines.) Then you're gonna wanna check out Magic Box for their preview. IGNPSX runs a gangbuster preview of "Shogun Assassins," which is about feudal Japan. Feudal Japan, for those of you who don't know, has to do with kids who've waited in line ALL DAY to order a Dreamcast only to find out Sega pulled the pre-order plug! Those Japanese get downright feudal when that happens. No, seriously, the game looks really good. Check it out. More previews: Gaming-Age has a bit more information on the next WWF game. Ole Bubba over at GameFan previews "Twisted Metal 3." And Videogames.com previews a Tiger Woods golfy-type game. Whoops. Almost forget this one. Gamecenter reviews "G Darius." Ah, 16-bit lookin' shooters. I must be in heaven. Multi-Platform & Miscellaneous Who are all the characters in the upcoming "King of Fighters" for Neo Geo Pocket? The world may never know. But you will if you go to Digital-Ages. And speaking of Neo Geo Pocket, Sega X has news of new games comin' out. Also, FGNOnline speculates on a U.S. release date. Viva la gray- scale portable game machines! Oh, and I don't normally carry stuff about coin-ops, but gaming-age has a pretty cool preview of "Star Wars Trilogy," an upcomin' arcade game. Why might you wanna know about this? Well, it may appear on Dreamcast. You never, never know. See you Monday, kiddies. ============================================================ Dreamcast links: -- Dreamcast pre-orders already over?!?! - News -- http://www.fgnonline.com/ -- No Street Fighter Alpha for Saturn?
