First, there's PSXMax, a premier PSXsite with all things PlayStation. (You have to check out Kingboxer's Rumor Mill!) Then there's The Nth Dimension, with their oft-scoops on cool movies. And, finally, there's Dreamcast Insider, which sticks to Dreamcast like cooked rice sticks to a bride and groom. OtakuBoy's always heading there for the latest info. Why not you? http://www.consolecity.com _____________________ Sponsor's Message ____________________ =OtakuBoy Speaketh ========================================= Hiya folksies! OtakuBoy here with a quick-quick version of today's best videogaming links! "MUST-CLICK-WEBBY," I call it, with apolo- gies to NBC. Hey Iraq! Boom. Don't forget! OtakuBoy wants YOU to join the staff. Honest! Details at OtakuBoy@bigfoot.com. ----------- Nintendo (N64, GameBoy) So, what's this I hear about a NEW Nintendo? The N2000? Maybe the N2001? Oh, we've heard it all before from Nintendo though. So many products. So much vapor-ware. Sony Play Station/Super Nintendo CD-ROM, anyone? Anyway, IGN64 prints some comments from Nintendo's chief about their next steps. Alright! Bomberman's bursting (with apologies to Iraq) back on to the N64. IGN64 has the details. GameFan casts a preview eye on "Re-Volt. Get this: You drive an RV car around all kinds of cool tracks -- like an arcade! And what's that on the screen in the background? POLE POSITION? Check out GameFan for the preview. Ever had a hankerin' to encase your Pocket GameBoy in rubber? Suuuure, you have. "oooh, gameboy-baby. i want you in between mah sheets, all wrapped up in that rubber you be havin' on!" Anyway, if you've ever wondered how a G-Shock GameBoy might look, head on over to GameBoy Euro-Asia. Dreamcast & Saturn (DC & SAT) "Street Fighter EX 2" comin' Dreamcast? GameSpot has very skimpy details and a denial from Capcom. (Hey, does this even qualify as a rumor? 'We heard Capcom will make blueberry biscuits. Capcom's says no, but we heard it!') Sonic goes 56k! Honest. Looks like folks in Japan will be able to put their Passport modems to good use while playin' with ole Blue Boy. Swap characters and all that cool stuff. GameSpot's got the story. And what's this? "Tetris 4D?" Tetris in the Fourth Dimension? The Doctor would be proud! "Quick! To the Tardis!" Well, what does 4D mean, exactly? Check out the preview at SegaX, uber-Sega site. PlayStation (PSX) Capcom sez: "Hey, PlayStation, you're like sooo un-cool, you know what I mean? We've just, like, used up all of your power and stuff and we ain't gonna do no more games on you no more!" REALLY?! It's one of the many rumors that good old KingBoxer has in his new installment on Console City's PSXMax! What happens when She-Hulk rips off her bikini top? Why, she uses it as a weapon against the Street Fighters, you silly goose! IGNPSX has the preview of the upcoming Capcom classic! (See? It ain't even out and it's already a classic! Wow! What a triumph!) Speaking of Street Fighter, GameCenter.com reviews the "Street Fighter Collection." Dying to play Street Fighters old and new? Dying to master every single Street Fighter game? Dying to punch-kick-punch until the wee-hours? Dying to... er, sorry. Multi-format Hey, it seems like arcade and console technologies are comin' so close together with new gadgets like Dreamcast right? Well, in case you're interested in what's comin' down to the arcade, Game-Online previews "Dragon Valor." Lots of big pics, so bring all 56 of your K's. Cheers, folks. See a cool story?
