This is getting a wee bit ridiculous. I don't know if Konami REALLY said this, but Game Informer says that Konami said they're changing people's lives with DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION? Well, I did feel a bit more pep after I finished playing... but what's this about memory cards? ----------- P l a y S t a t i o n (PSX) -- Konami loves you. - News Konami says that by allowing you to insert your memory cards into the arcade DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION, they are changing people's live. Hmmmm... anyway. You can do this memory card thing and more. Check out the details on GR. -- http://www.gamersrepublic.com/02_22_1999n5.html -- PSX2 Release Date? - News Hmmmm... EDGE Magazine, U.K.'s brand videogaming mega- opolis-zine, says the the PSX2 will be in Japan by year end. :) Ok. Well, then, ahm, check out FGNOnline to see what Sony UK sez to that. -- http://www.fgnonline.com/web/fgn_archives.html?publish_date=1999-02 -22 -- "PSX2 Release Date?" -- Colony Wars 3 - News Goodie, goodie! GameFan says they've confirmed through Psygnosis that COLONY WARS 3 is comin'! Wooohoooooooooooo! They also drop a neat little tidbit (read: rumor) about COLONY WARS 4. Oh what, oh what, console could that be for ... oh what oh what? -- http://www.gamefan.com/newhotinfo/hotinfo.asp?storyid=477 -- Play Apocalypse or Mecha Gouki? - Rumor? Apocalypse? Mecha Gouki? Tooti Fruti? Scratch that last one. Gamer's Republic hears that you can play those first two characters somewhere in MARVEL SUPER HEROES vs. STREET FIGHTER. Hmmm.. all you guys out there who have an incredi- ble knack for finding secret stuff, get to FINDIN'! -- http://www.gamersrepublic.com/02_22_1999n2.html -- X-Men - Preview Ok, ok, so it's only 40% done and it seems like its been development since Marvel published their first X-Men comic. But Activision's X-MEN is comin'. It's comin'. Just as Videogames.com, who got to play one. They report. -- http://www.videogames.com/psx/fight/xmn/ -- Silent Hill - Review Yep. I gotta agree with this 8.8 here. SILENT HILL IS a good game. It's a maddingly difficult, methinks. But it's by far and away the neatest game to come along since Resident Evil. Anyway, ConsoleCity's PSXMax reviews. Videogames.com reviews also and their review looks at how well SH did the whole horror thing. Plus they render a verdict -- why can't you find good tasting chocolates in Whitman boxes? (Transla- tion: Is it as good as RESIDENT EVIL?) -- http://www.consolecity.com/psx/games/rev_sile.html -- http://www.videogames.com/psx/adventure/silenthill/review.html -- On OTAKUBOY.com -- Triple Play 2000 - Interview Pt. 2 -- FF8 Translation CONTINUES! - News -- Driver - Preview -- MORE links to good content! -- http://otakuboy.com/sony.html ===========OTAKUBOY SAY TO VISIT THIS DUDE, EH!============= Want to have a second opinion on anime/manga?

Mostly stuff about the title and a little bit about the plot. I guess dem Capcommers are keepin' this one to themselves for now. :( -- http://headline.gamespot.com/news/99_02/22_vg_evil/index.html -- Last Legion UX - Preview Heck, from that title, you wouldn't know that this is a full-on, death battle, hoopla, shiiiite, full-metal-jacket, cahuna, mecha fight to the death. But it is. It is. (Key: Profound music. Fade to black. And.... CLICK!) -- http://ign64.ign.com/previews/2191.html -- Lode Runner 3D - Preview Ok! Videogames.com previews LODE RUNNER 3D and unlike they interview over at IGN64 last week, they take you strictly through the game -- what's in it, what you're gonna play, etc. Plus, loads of shots! LOADS! LOADS! (What are loads, anyway?) -- http://www.videogames.com/n64/puzcla/lode64/ -- All-Star Tennis '99 - Review What is with the Nintendo 64 these days? Mario fights against his N-Brethren. NOW you can play Bomb Tennis in which your ball leaves a bomb in its wake? What is this machine becoming? What happened to cute, cuddly? Oh yeah, that sucks. Game Informer has a hands on this game. -- http://www.gameinformer.com/news/feb99/022399i.html -- On OtakuBOY.com -- Harrier 2001 - Preview -- Buy an Ocarina - News -- MORE links to good content! -- http://otakuboy.com/nintendo.html G a m e B o y C o l o r (GBC) -- Powerprokun Pocket - News Hmmm... it don't sound like no baseball game I ever hoid of! And, yet, it is! IT IS! It's Konami's latest and it looks like they're gonna let you transport player statistics from your GBC to POWERFUL PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL on your N64. Details on GR. -- http://www.gamersrepublic.com/02_22_1999n4.html -- Spawn's... well... kinda cute - News/Preview Game Informer has news and pics about SPAWN comin' out for GBC. And I gotta tell ya that it looks a might weird. I mean, SPAWN's a really bad guy. Always has been. But on the GBC, you just wanna pick him up and cuddle him. Well, maybe that's a little too much. :( -- http://www.gameinformer.com/news/feb99/022399a.html -- On Otakuboy.Com -- Europe!

Word is Sega is workin' on a Saturn emu- lator for the Dreamcast. And why NOT?! I mean, they could then keep releasing Saturn games, saturate their resources and markets, confuse consumers, and make everyone buy PSX2s! Just kidding. But it would be neat to play all those old Saturn titles. Sigh. -- http://www.gamefan.com/newhotinfo/hotinfo.asp?storyid=476 -- Frame Gride - A Newsy/Preview Some official information has been released on FRAME GRIDE! (What an odd name, eh?)
