PUTTING THINGS RIGHT

AGS managed to release an overdump (512mb) of Aidyn Chronicles on 22 March, ags-acfm.zip, but never bothered to fix the mistake, so we had to get The Corp. to clean up the mess by releasing a clean 256mbit dump, although you could split the AGS release in halfs and you'd have a clean rom aswell, but for those of you (and me) who still are on a 56k modem, this TC release of Aidyn was very appreciated. AGS release has been replaced by TC's release on my list, deal with it! :)

Although no "FLASH" cartridge exist for the GBA either, so the only way you can enjoy these yet is by using an emulator.

LIMITED EDITION GBA RELEASED IN JAPAN Nintendo secretly released a special version of the Gameboy Advance on the release date, only sold in a couple of stores called Pokemon Center. The limited edition unit has different packaging and has metallic-blue casing. Word is that less than 50,000 of the units were made and they should be fetching high prices in Japan, selling for nearly triple the normal 9800 Yen ($88) retail price. Source: www.coremagazine.com

What probably is the last homebrewn N64 game. Shufflepuck64 has been under development for quite some time, I think CALi told me about the project 6 - 7 months ago. It was finished in time to be an entry in the y2kode multi system coding competition, as the only N64 stuff. It plays a lot like pong, but if you ever been to a arcade hall you've probably seen one of these neat air hockey tables, this is what this game is supposed to be. It's even got very nice graphics and music. It was said that this was supposed to become a licensed DC game actually and therefore the N64 version wouldn't be released, I guess that project was dropped, and personally I would never pay for a game like this, it's quite nice though but there's not "enough" in it to charge anyone for it.

EUROPE GETS CONKER
But not from Nintendo of Europe as they weren't able to translate it into German, so they wouldn't bother, it seems that all they care about it Germany eventhough they should cover all of Europe. Instead Conker's Bad Fur Day will be released by THQ as soon as this April, Nintendo's own release date back when they wanted the game out in Europe was November/December.

I have not been able to obtain the press release from THQ yet, but I'll ofcourse have all details once they're out, this is a game you cannot miss.

IGN CANCEL N64 DINOSAUR PLANET AGAIN
They have done it before and now they do it again. IGN and their incredible sources have once again cancelled a game. According to the most reliable video game source on the internet sources close to Rare have confirmed that Dinosaur Planet for the Nintendo64 has been canned and is now being developed for the GameCube.

Personally I think IGN should stop posting these stupid things, haven't they got anything better to do than to fill up their site with crap? I guess it's daily updates at any price. Ofcourse they're a "magazine" and are probably supposed to come out with this crap, but why not try to get Rare to speak instead of trusting their "sources".

I played Dinosaur Planet for 5 minutes or something at ECTS last year and it was looking quite good, so I sure hope that this is just another pile of crap from IGN, I think they cancelled Conker's Bad Fur Day for the N64 too, didn't they?

One of the best UK N64 magazines around, N64 magazine, wrote a small piece about Dinosaur Planet in their February 2001 issue which you can read here.

ANOTHER N64 APPEARS ON THE RELEASE LIST
What was supposed to be cancelled by Activision themselves awhile back is now back at the release list, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. It is said to be a direct port of the PSX version, but with a few graphic upgrades. More info when it's available.

64SCENER GOES GBA
As we're about to experience the release of the Gameboy Advance in Japan, I've decided that 64scener should include info about the system, and maybe even copier related if one ever is available. I hope to get my GBA just after the release and have a review of the system up later, meanwhile I think you should check out www.gbadev.org.
