EWJ Is Confirmed / News from N64.com Date: 23 May 1997 09:37:04 -0600 (MDT) In a strange turn of the worm, Shiny Entertainment has handed over the production of Earthworm Jim 3 to Interplay to publish on Nintendo 64, Interplay said early this week. As predicted by N64.com (in a news story that ran in January 1997), Earthworm Jim will arrive in 64-bit form on Nintendo's platform (as well as on the PC and PlayStation). In that interview with Shiny President Dave Perry, we asked about the likelihood of EWJ arriving on N64. Perry responded: "Let's just say if we do another Earthworm Jim game, it will definitely be on N64." Scottish developer Viz will be bringing EWJ back for some more wacky fun, with the blessing of Perry and Doug TeNapel, the men responsible for the lovable, weird worm. Earthworm Jim 3 is scheduled to be released in the summer of 1998. N64.com believes that the game will be shown as a trailer at E3 (Electronics Entertainment Expo) in Atlanta this June, and may possibly even be playable. ============================= Be sure to patronize N64.com at: http://www.n64.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "C.

Swarthout" Subject: Re: Question... -Reply Date: 22 May 1997 15:33:46 -0600 (MDT) No, as I understand it, the PAL system uses a higher resolution than NTSC. So unless the game companies want to spend a lot of time changing the game to take advantage of the extra pixels, the entire game playing area will fit in a smaller portion of the TV screen. Think of it like having a PC game that will only play in a 640 x 480 window. If your PC is set in that resolution, the game will take up the entire screen. If it is set at a higher resolution, say 800 x 600, then the game will appear somewhat smaller and won't take up all the screen. The area of the monitor not being used by the game would be equivalent to the "borders" for a PAL N64 game. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Greg >>> "tippyman" 05/22/97 01:59pm >>> what's all this about borders? you mean freedom of movement in the games? Tippyman (http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/7651/main.html) ---------- ---------- Sent: 22 May 1997 16:52 What is NTSC? NTSC stands for National Television Standard Committee. Its the television system used in the United States and other countries. NTSC runs at 60Htz where as PAL runs at 50Htz, so when we get NTSC to PAL conversions that is where the speed difference comes into effect.

I'm not saying I did not like FF3, I just thought it was a let down after FF2. It was way too boring in the middle of the game. I hate having to walk around for hours trying to build up levels.

What I'D like to have, is a compass. In a separate sub-screen, you have mapped out places you've been, and you can select a destination. Whe you return to the normal Walkabout (Hopefully fully 3D), a compass appears with a pointer marking your destination selected on the map. That would be realistic, keep the option for secrets (a Huge 3D realistic world that has to be explored as in real life), and therefore more replay value, and still keep it easy to navigate. Personally, I feel half the fun of a game like that would be exploring the world, and I wouldn't want to have that taken away by being forced into a traditional, boring-to- explore top-view map-mode for much of the game.

It was really good at the beginning, but the middle drags on FOREVER. You know after you destroy that floating continent? I got past that, then go extremely tired of walking around building up levels so I could get to the top of the tower. I always thought FF2 was the best of the ones released here in the US. Great story, lots of hidden things to do, lots of different areas, great music, tons of vehicles, etc... By far the best. FF7 is a great game.

Although I never cease to be amazed by some of the ignorance displayed by N64.com, they always manage to scoop the cool stories. Kudos for that. But one thing deserves comment: "In a strange turn of the worm, Shiny Entertainment has handed over the production of Earthworm Jim 3 to Interplay" Last time I checked Interplay owned Shiny and publishes their titles, so why is this strange? :) I think they're missing the story -- it's strange that Perry & Co. would allow the handing over of game DEVELOPMENT to a no-name programming team called Viz. Has anyone heard of them? What games have they made before? Anyway, great news.

This is apparent in all racing games, e.g. Mk64, WR64, American/Japanese times will always be faster. I word of warning though, if you see a PAL time that is faster than an NTSC time, then you guys have some work ahead of you. -Beamer LJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJ On Friday, May 23, 1997 7:34 AM, Gregory A.

By far the best. Ah, we do agree on something. FF2 is my favorite as well, it was much more involving than 3 (although I have yet to play 7). Could Square be losing it's magic?

SimCopter, which arrived on the PC in the first quarter of this year, received mixed reviews by critics, but featured interesting gameplay similar to Maxis's other 'sim' titles. In the Nintendo 64 version players will fly across about 30 pre-built cities and will save citizens in emergencies, put outs fires, catch robbers, and perform other civil duties. The action will appear in realtime, and blends budget management with arcade-like vehicle control, increasing in difficulty as the levels move on. The game won't support the PC feature that enabled pre-built SimCity cities to be imported, the Maxis rep. explained. The Maxis representative said its Japanese development company would be developing SimCopter, and that the title is likely to appear at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). Maxis could not confirm whether SimCopter will appear on Nintendo 64 as a straight port or with completely new features. ============================= Be sure to patronize N64.com at: http://www.n64.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: majordomo@xmission.com Subject: Majordomo results: Majordomo results: Majordomo results: Ma Date: 22 May 1997 18:19:29 -0600 -- >>>> -- END OF COMMANDS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: majordomo@xmission.com Subject: Majordomo results: Majordomo results: Majordomo results: Ma Date: 22 May 1997 18:17:51 -0600 -- >>>> -- END OF COMMANDS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Peers2@aol.com Subject: Re: I hate this FUCKING MAILING LIST Date: 22 May 1997 19:14:22 -0400 (EDT) In a message dated 97-05-22 17:01:21 EDT, you write: << Subj: I hate this FUCKING MAILING LIST Date: 97-05-22 17:01:21 EDT From: XRCG89C@prodigy.com (MR MICHAEL D MILLER) Sender: owner-n64@xmission.com Reply-to: n64@mail.xmission.com To: n64@mail.xmission.com > TAKE ME OFF >> Who will take the honor of instructing our young friend how to get off something that he signed on to...

It was really good at the beginning, but the middle drags on FOREVER. You know after you destroy that floating continent? I got past that, then go extremely tired of walking around building up levels so I could get to the top of the tower. I always thought FF2 was the best of the ones released here in the US. Great story, lots of hidden things to do, lots of different areas, great music, tons of vehicles, etc... By far the best. FF7 is a great game.

Although Eidos's Tomb Raider 2, which has been under consideration as a Nintendo 64 title, may never seen the light of day on N64, a final deal hasn't been settled. If Sony is successful in convincing Eidos to make Tomb Raider 2 a PlayStation exclusive, it would be another major feather in Sony's cap, rivalling the coup it made in securing Final Fantasy VII. The deal has not yet been made final but is supposedly nearing completion. Eidos refused to confirm or deny the allegation. "At this time, Eidos is still exploring all of its options with Tomb Raider 2," an Eidos spokesperson said. If an agreement is made, Sony's deal would only be for console exclusivity and would not affect the PC version of the game. ============================= Be sure to patronize N64.com at: http://www.n64.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: David Chang Subject: Re: Question...

While most EB stores were already planning on selling the game for $69.99 rather than the full retail price of $79.95, we are told that EB consumers will receive a free Star Fox 64 soundtrack if they pre-purchase the game in full. Furthermore, those who live in highly competitive areas may find the game for even less. As of yet, most local EB stores haven't started this deal, but you might want to keep your eyes open for a great deal in a time of many complaints about the high price of N64 games. ============================= Be sure to patronize N64 HQ at: http://www.n64hq.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: majordomo@xmission.com Subject: Majordomo results: Majordomo results: Majordomo results: Ma Date: 22 May 1997 18:18:51 -0600 -- >>>> -- END OF COMMANDS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: XRCG89C@prodigy.com (MR MICHAEL D MILLER) Subject: I hate this FUCKING MAILING LIST Date: 22 May 1997 16:39:52, -0500 TAKE ME OFF ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: majordomo@xmission.com Subject: Majordomo results: Majordomo results: Majordomo results: Ma Date: 22 May 1997 18:14:11 -0600 -- >>>> -- END OF COMMANDS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Gregory A.

James MacLennan" Subject: Reviews Date: 22 May 1997 11:34:36 -0500 I was thinking about this NG review issue and other things that make a game what it is. What I've realized over the years is that there are basically two components that comprise a game: The game engine and the rules applied to that engine(what I call the "game"). If you look at most 3d titles (IMO) they are "game"-weak and "engine"-heavy. (Note this is not necessarily related to how "fun" a title is.) For instance the game-components of Mario 64 are minimal, what drives this title is the engine. It's a blast swimming and flying and backflipping around, the collection of stars is just something to do while you're triple-jumping. Or Zelda (Link to the past, I think it was years ago). The engine was simple 2d graphics/scrolling background. Done a million times, but the "game" was heavy. Plot++. Other examples: Tetris - weak engine, strong game Doom - strong engine, weak game Blast Corps - strong engine, strong game I think that gaming is still in a state of flux moving from the 2D plane to the 3D world. What I believe where N64 true strength lies is that it allows developers to concentrate on the game aspect of the title without worrying whether the hardware will support the engine. As 3d becomes the dominant paradigm, the emphasis placed on a titles engine diminishes, allowing developers to create better and better games using that paradigm. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Peers2@aol.com Subject: N64> Re: Radar Mission Date: 23 May 1997 15:57:30 -0400 (EDT) In a message dated 97-05-23 15:56:08 EDT, you write: << Oh, Radar Mission is made by Nintendo for gameboy.

But a Hudson representative told N64.com yesterday that both Dual Heroes and Bomberman 64 (still a working title) will both arrive in the U.S. and debut at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Atlanta this June. "Both games will be in playable form at E3, and it's possible that we'll show the four-player mode for Bomberman 64, though we're not sure at this point," said the top-level Hudson executive. Presently, both games are without publishers or release dates. Bomberman's multiplayer mode currently is being worked on and is intended to be a full 3D game, with both 3D characters and gameplay, the source said. But, he added, if the team can't get it to work out perfectly in 3D, the multiplayer mode could end up in 2D. "It's a matter if the gameplay works, but also if we can afford the development costs, too," the source said. He added that it's highly unlikely Soccer 64 and Hudson's wrestling game will arrive in the U.S. ever. ============================= Be sure to patronize N64.com at: http://www.n64.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Gary Mort Subject: N64> Whats the difference Date: 23 May 1997 21:10:13 +-100 What's the difference between the normal mail list and the digest mail list ?

They even said the music in FF3 is better too. How can that be? The music in FF7 is of CD quality! To me it just sounded much better, and also better composed. What's your take on this? A: That's funny. I don't recall the guys at Next Generation Online even playing the game! Anyway, I have to agree with them 100% that FF3 is better than FF7. FF7 just seems really rushed towards the end. The music isn't CD quality either. It's PCM! And FF3's soundtrack blows it (FF7) away!

Everyone who says they know anything about it is just guessing. All that's been officially released is that "it's and RPG about the adventures of a young boy," nothing more. It LOOKS Zelda-ish (3D, pretty good Graphics, IMHO), but Since Japan especially needs a "real" RPG, and Zelda is coming at about the same time anyway to satisfy the Action/Advernture/RPG fans anyway.

It was designed to provide bursts of information, for video you would want constant streaming of data. Although the bursts of data are not ideal for FMV it would not sup rise me to see at least some of it on the DD, a clever programer can get around all sorts of limitations.

That will be almost, if not MORE expensive than the Virtual Boy (when it debuted). The Atlantis will be Nintendo's second mistake, if it comes to pass. But, according to VideoGameSpot (in their "History of Video Games" feature that I just happened to read), the Atlantis has been cancelled! So, who knows. -- Tyler V.

I guess they'll wait a few more years when the N64 is #1 hot selling, then they'll bring out atlantis. By then, people will forget about virtual boy and only think about the success of N64. -Vi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Vi-64 Subject: N64> european games. What languange are games? Date: 26 May 1997 03:03:44 +30000 I have a question in general about european pal versions of games. When games come out in Germany, France, Spain, etc. Will the game be in French, spanish, Italian, Russian, etc?? For example Mario64 and MarioKart64. Are those games in your own languange when it comes out in your country or is it english?? If this was the case, then games are only made in Japanese and English?? How about RPG games? Will you people get FF3,4,5,6,FF7 in Spanish? If not, then gamers must learn english or japanese to play games? -Vi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Gary Mort Subject: N64> RE: Syntax Error Date: 26 May 1997 10:34:52 +-100 I have not sent any attachments, only the text in my mail.

Some games have a language select option on the menu (WR64: German/English, M64: German/English/French). There were lots of SNES games that had langauge select also. Games usually have english instructions, but that's probably because I'm in Australia. Some publishers however, get cheap and put 15 different langauges in one instruction "booklet" (more like a phonebook in thickness). As for Final Fantasy, I beleive Secret of Mana was the ONLY Square game to get a PAL release, (except for Rad Racer :). You think you Americans have it bad :).

Not unless you consider August (1997) next year. It was supposed to come out in June or July like everything else, but M:I and GE-007 have both been pushed back to August. They'd rather polish it up than release it early. Nintendo probably sees their mistake in allowing certain games to come out when it's trying to push Quality over Quantity, but they were forced into it. Now they've got more choice, they'd rather stick with their motto. I for one am glad.

Why would you want to DO that? The fun of the game is GETTING the tracks! There may be a cheat code, but I doubt it. More likely you have to play through. The reverse tracks are a bonus for those good enough to get them, and if you can't you don't deserve to have them at all. ;') Seriously though, if you did enter a cheat code, you'd have nothing to look forward to, and spoil the game for yourself. > Does using the custom bike settings make a big difference to how the > bike performs, or should I stick with the normal settings ? Yes, it makes a big difference. I find the best one for me is the third guy over (I don't remember the name), with a low handling setting, and high engine and grip settings (Not very top or very bottom, but 1-3 away). Experiment to see what you like. I don't like the built-in settings. -- Cryptic Bug CrBug@vcn.bc.ca ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Mark Thomson" Subject: N64> Plug Time - Mario Kart for Sale Date: 26 May 1997 22:28:47 +0000 Hi all I've got a copy of Mario Kart (US) for sale.

I can at least tell you what's happening in Germany: Sports games are often completely translated (the announcer speaks German, etc). Some games, like Star Fox 64, will remain in English for the German market (unless Nintendo's plans change) and have German screentext (the text boxes on the bottom). Most RPGs are translated into German -- the few that aren't don't do very well (although the majority of Germans do speak English). Some games have also altered content (such as Turrican, Turok, etc), where certain human characters are replaced by robots, or blood is reduced or changed in color.

Dengeki Nintendo 64 featured an interview with Capcom's Yoshiki Okamoto

DN64: Capcom has already announced that they are developing for the Nintendo 64. At this point, what titles are you thinking about releasing? Please tell us your ideas.

Okamoto: I'm very interested in the N64. CD-ROM is just a readable medium. Obviously, the writable feature [of the 64DD] is attractive for me. This feature will increase the fun of games. I want to pursue that aspect. But before that, we are researching the possibility of putting Resident Evil, which is currently a CD-based game, on a 128 megabit cartridge.

Jun Fujimoto: The size of the ROM for cartridges is gradually increasing. For the future, 128 megabit carts will be the main stream.

Okamoto: Additionally, this is not the company's final decision, just my idea. I don't know if it's possible or not in regard to technical difficulties...

DN64: I understand that. So what's your idea?

Okamoto: I have an idea for a ninja version of Resident Evil. The location is a "ninja house" which is full of booby traps and gimmicks.

DN64: Sounds fun already. Do you have more great ideas for us?

Okamoto: Of course. The battle will take place using Katana and Shuriken. The house will contain hidden doors behind walls, ceilings that fall down to you, scrolls and ninja magic, and many other ninja techniques. I have many more ideas about this.

DN64: That sounds fun. How about the business aspect?

Okamoto: I think it will be very fun. And because many overseas people love ninjitsu, I also think it will sell very well (laugh).

The 64 Dream featured another interview with Nintendo publicist, Yoshio Hongo, in which the readers asked the questions

T64D: Some Japanese magazines report that Nintendo has purchased the domestic rights to Diablo.

Hongo: I asked our department, but that is not true.

Reader: What title will Nintendo release after Shadows of the Empire?

Hongo: Goldeneye will be the next title to be released. We want to release it during the summer holiday [ed: late July to the end of August]. After that, we want to release Yoshi's Island 64 and Zelda 64. So we have currently assigned all other title's staff for both titles' development. I don't know for sure whether we will release Zelda or Yoshi first, but Zelda 64 will be released in October or November. Body Harvest and Buggie Boogie may also be released this year.

Reader: Will a Tamagotchi game be released for the Nintendo 64?

Hongo: Bandai might be working on it. But I can't say for sure since it's not being developed by Nintendo [ed: Nintendo, however, is working on a similar game for the 64DD called Cabbage]. We hope it would be as good as the Game Boy version of Tamagotchi, though.

Reader: Will the 64DD launch with an internal modem?

Hongo: The 64DD is not likely to have internal modem built-in. But later on it may have a modem. A communication line is one of the features the 64DD will have after its launch. If the modem was built into the 64DD, then the cost increase would be a detriment rather than a benefit.

Reader: When is the Light Gun Pak going to be released?

Hongo: It will be released when it is needed. Actually, there is no particular game suited for the Light Gun yet.

Reader: What kind of game will Climber be?

Hongo: The game's idea has absorbed by another title. So Climber has been canceled.

Reader: Please tell me about Intelligent Systems, the ones who are developing the Fire Emblem series.

Hongo: They have their office in Nintendo's Uji-Ogura factory. But they are a completely different organization. They also develop for the Super Famicom. So their name is recognized by many software companies. Their software development team is currently working on the latest Fire Emblem game for the Super Famicom. The 64DD version seems to only be in the experimental phase right now.

Tell me if this is a stupid question, but will lap times be faster on a NTSC version of the game than on a PAL based version as its a well known fact that some PAL games run 17.5% slower than their imported relatives, but obviously time will be the same. I said SOME games - have you seen the PAL version of J League otherwise known as International Superstar Soccer 64 - by all accounts its even better than the JAP version (which was unbelievable) and also plays faster. That's a new one isn't it - a PAL version better than a NTSC.

The last official word was that it has been tabled for the present. I expect they want to concentrate on N64, and more specifically the 64DD and systems (Modem systems?). If they were to release such a unit right now, a lot of people would be forced to choose between the N64, 64DD and Atlantis, and none would reach their potential. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if more people bought Atlantis because of the portability, and just as much or more (most of N64's Poly engine is included!) power than home 32-bitters: Imagine 4+ player linked color MarioKart 32...How about Zelda VII (or so), also in full 3D? If indeed Mario64 only used 60% of N64's potential, wouldn't it be a simple matter to port it to the Atlantis with only a slight loss, if any? I would be excited about this, Handheld 3D on a smooth 16million color active matrix screen, if it were likely to come out anytime soon. I think they'll release it in between 64DD and the next home system, when amazing (by today's standards) games are commonplace on N64/64DD, and both have a comfortable user base; when the third partys have decent development tools and have learned the ropes (and some microcode :') and Nintendo has no other hardware to worry about, and a large user base so they don't have to worry about sales so much. -- Cryptic Bug CrBug@vcn.bc.ca ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: N64 News Subject: N64> News from Japan / News from N64 HQ Date: 27 May 1997 16:29:32 -0600 (MDT) Konami's Ganbare Goemon 5 no longer has a two-player simultaneous mode. The game is only one-player now. However, it will be a 128 megabit game. These are the recently announced games that are compatible with the Rumble Pak. Chameleon Twist Hiryu No Ken Twin Multi-Racing Championship Sonic Wings Assault Top Gear Rally Wild Choppers Sonic Wings Assault will be compatible with both the Rumble Pak and the Controller Pak. During the game, you will need to swap the paks according the game's instructions. Multi-Racing Championship and Top Gear Rally are also supposed to support this "swapping" technique, too. Famitsu has stated that Ultra Donkey Kong (supposed sequel of Super Donkey Kong/Donkey Kong Country) will be for the 64DD, while another magazine says the opposite thing. We'll just have to wait and see. Famitsu's four reviewers gave Jikuusenshi Turok (Turok: Dinosaur Hunter) an 8, 8, 7, 7. Still unknown is exactly what changed (if anything) in the Japanese version in comparison to the U.S. version. Famitsu reported the latest total shipment figures of the major gaming consoles at the end of March. In Japan, 2.04 million Nintendo 64 units, 6.5 million PlayStation units, and 4.8 million Saturn units have been shipped. It looks like the Nintendo 64 is doing poor in Japan, right? But consider that Nintendo 64 is only nine-months-old (it came out on June 21, 1996). Whereas, the PlayStation and Saturn are both over two-years-old. (The PlayStation hit Japan on December 3, 1994 and the Saturn came out on November 22, 1994.) By the way, Game Boy/Game Boy Pocket is still alive and well here. Nintendo shipped about three million units in the last fiscal year alone. This figure is apparently the result of the huge success of Pocket Monster. Also, let's take a look at the rest of the world, excluding the Japanese figures in the total. Nintendo shipped 3.42 million units of the Nintendo 64 outside of Japan. Sony shipped 7 million units of the PlayStation outside of Japan. And Sega shipped 2.76 million units of the Saturn outside of Japan. These figures are straight from the respective companies, except the PlayStation figure. The PlayStation's domestic figure is provided by Famitsu's own research. It is not the sell-through amount. ============================= Be sure to patronize N64 HQ at: http://www.n64hq.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Tom Dickson Subject: N64> I'm just testing something....

The creators of the old favorite Montezuma's Revenge - released for systems like the Atari 800, Commodore 64, and Apple II over a decade ago - have returned with a sequel, the aptly named Montezuma's Return. The original was in the initial batch of games that invented the two-dimensional side-scrolling genre, and Utopia intends to make this Montezuma's Return, with 60 hours of gameplay, one of the definitive titles in the 3-D graphic adventure category. Players must once again take on the role of Max Montezuma, a soldier whose family tree leads all the way back to an ancient Aztec emperor. As luck would have it, his plane goes down near an uncharted island that happens to be teaming with the remnants of a lost tribe of Aztec warriors. If he can live long enough, he may discover that the area conceals a heretofore-unknown connection between his people and otherworldly beings...who just might still be there. Brought about by the company's impressive new UVision graphic engine, Montezuma's Return offers a first-person perspective in a real-time, three-dimensional, fully texture-mapped environment. Unlike many 3-D games, however, the title promises real interaction with its surroundings. That is to say, instead of simply walking through static pre-rendered backgrounds, the player's character should be able to accomplish such feats as being shot high into the air, swimming (don't drink the water), climbing ropes, and be affected by such forces as surface tension, wind, and gravity. Max must also individually tailor his interaction with other characters: bribery, fighting, and teamwork are all par for the course. For example, once Max frees a giant frog from a deep well, he's able to ride on its back and jump into new areas. Such puzzle solving is purported to be common in the title, to the point where players must even construct weapons out of component parts in order to survive. Realistic sound effects and cinematic sound score add to the immersive qualities of the game. As in Capcom's Resident Evil, sounds will reflect whatever surfaces the character is walking on: A sandy beach will softly crunch, and wooden boards will creak. Meanwhile, the soundtrack is being created by a five-time Emmy-award winner, and is planned to shift between a brooding horror movie feel and the manic energy of an old time Hollywood flick. While Utopia Technologies has not yet officially announced a publisher for Montezuma's Return, parties such as Sony and Interplay are rumored to have cited serious interest. What the developers are saying, however, is that the title will hit store shelves for the Playstation and Nintendo 64 sometime in late 1997. ============================= Be sure to patronize VideoGameSpot at: http://www.videogamespot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Jonofun" Subject: N64> Bandai / Sega Date: 28 May 1997 08:20:00 +0900 N64ers: I don't know if this has hit your news yet - but here it is: In a surprising move yesterday, only hours after maintaining that everything was going according to plans, Bandai and Sega announced that they would not go through with the merger that was planned to take place on the 1st of October, 1997. Bandai, a major Japanese toy manufacturer and Sega, a major manufacturer of toys and electronic hardware and software, had originally planned the merger in order to assist their efforts in standing up to growing international competition. They later discovered that the corporate cultures of their respective companies are far too different for a healthy merger and the eventual success of both companies. They finally decided that they would share technologies and work on several projects together, but they would still maintain their identities as seperate financial enterprises.

Is it going to be a handheld system like the Gameboy, or a machine like the Virtual Boy that you have to set on a table or whatever?

It's the Handheld to end all Handhelds, with more procesing power than Current 32-bit Home systems and most of N64's graphical effects (including most of the polygon engine), and maybe even better 2D capabilities (Handhelds are well suited to 2D games).

I don't want to sound like a pessimist, but Don't count on it. More likely it will be released in November. Yes, Zelda has top priority, but Everything else has been delayed (including Star Fox 64, another important title), so I think we would be safest to assume the worst. Not the EXTREME Worst as in something goes wrong and it doesn't get released in Japan until '98 and we don't get it until this time next year, but that Japan gets it in November and we get it n January. We get pleasantly surprised if it gets moved up, but not disappointed if not. (I know we'll all clutch our secret wild hopes anyway, but still... :') There's a bit more to it than just Translation though, most notably the Cartridge supply. As I understand it, there's only one manufacturing plant, and they'll make millions for Japan before they ship any here. That's another disadvantage of Carts, we get Japanese-developed software even SLOWER, just because they'll supply Japan first, and it takes a while to manufacture that many. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, this is just my understanding. :') All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; Cryptic Bug The old that is strong does not wither, CrBug@vcn.bc.ca Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Of course, this isn't a new debate. :) It's that way for a variety of reasons: 1) It's probably more profitable for Nintendo to do everything in Japan. After all, the Japanese want their guys at work on games and manufacturing, etc. 2) Nintendo doesn't want to abandon their high-consumption mother country for a less profitable market overseas. It's just (common sense) dollars (err, yen) talking. 3) They release their products months (or years) later and people still buy them. That says it all. ************************************************************** Mark J.

But c'mon, are they not improving Star Wars for the Japanese release?? The games we wait for do not get improved, in fact, they are often censored. Also, they wait on very few games compared to what we wait for. Waiting for Gretzky64 and Doom64 (both mediocre games) is not the same as having to wait for the N64 itself (along with Mario64), Star Fox, Zelda, all the RPGs, etc, etc, etc... I would much rather wait for Doom and Gretzky than the games we wait for.

Also, it they KNOW they are going to release a game in the USA or other overseas country, why delay? It would have zero effect on their Japanese profits. Games like Star Fox and Zelda we all know are going to be released in the USA, there is no doubt about that...could they not just have a worldwide release (like Square is going to try and do with Parasite Eve)...sure, there might be manufacturing problems with getting enough carts made, but they could make enough to release in the top 2 markets (Japan and the USA). If not, why not a 1 month delay. Why does it always have to be a 3 or more months?? 2) Nintendo doesn't want to abandon their > high-consumption mother country for a less profitable market overseas.

Date: 30 May 1997 09:35:15 +1000 I completely agree about WHY do we have to wait for games to come out for so long, especially over here in Australia. But I also see things from the developers side. Recently I have worked on : KKND - English, which when that finished and was out the door, we then got the licenses to do - Mandarin (Chinese), German, Spanish. These all took at least an extra month each to translate because of the following reasons. - WE had to get translators in, and also had to find all the text in the game. - Other Countries have different symbols for letters. (Special Character) - Other Countries take longer in some cases to say the same thing. etc This then created more bugs in the games, because text was going out of borders, wasn't enough memory to handle some text strings, effected Network play, these are but a few things that I remember happening. On the other hand : Lost Vikings 2 - Norse by Norse West - All translations where done at the same time e.g. English, French, German because they are selectable options. Same thing happened again, a level worked fine in English, but when you run the same level in French, there was more needed, it didn't have it at the time, and it crashed. The major reason for the time delay from Japan, Especially RPG, is Japanese takes up less characters, getting more story in there, when they convert to English, the story almost has to be re-written to a degree. I mean a game the size of FF7, that is why it has been delayed so long -NTSC- September, PAL - December. I wish they could release games sooner, but I you saw how much work goes into some these games, over time/weekend work, some companies just don't have the budget to translate them, that is why they have to wait for an American company to pick up the license to translate. I hope this answers some questions, and creates others. - Beamer. :-):-):-):-p:-):-):-):-D:-):-):-) On Thursday, May 29, 1997 11:53 PM, Asha'man_X 64 [SMTP:ashamanx@geocities.com] wrote: : Stryder brought up a very interesting point.

Date: 30 May 1997 11:17:27 +0900 This ones actually quite simple. A game is created by a *Japanese* company with all markets in mind, but the main market in mind at its creation is the same as the developers'. However, the game is created entirely in Japanese because that is the language that the developers speak. The game is not translated during its development because changes might be made and, if you didn't already know, translation fees can be ridiculously high. Also, the developers are too busy working on the game itself to be concerned with its translation, and you wouldn't want any pressure on the developers to not make changes to existing code just because it has "already been translated." After the game is produced, it is released to the target market - *then* the other markets are targeted for release. Translation, tweaking, and additional market research take time - thus the delay. Please be patient, N64ers, and keep in mind that I am *just* receiving Turok today...

This should be everday stuff for them, they have been translating games for years. Not to mention that a large portion of the Japanese already know English anyway. Also, a company like Sony translates instructions for thousands of different electronic products all the time. I just should not take more than 1 month to translate a game for companies this big and with this much experience in this area.

Games that are developed in Japan take a while to come over here, and games developed over here take a while to come out in Japan. It has to do with publishing rights, distribution, advertising, translation, changes, improvements, policies, timing plans and manufacturing. Too bad only that Japanese games are mostly better than American ones :( And games do get improved for their U.S. releases. Mario 64 featured far more voice overs in the U.S. version, International Superstar Soccer has improved AI and Human Grand Prix is getting a major overhaul before it comes out over here. As to censorship: Japan is a lot more picky with violence issues than the U.S. (Turok is one of the first games that features red blood instead of "sweat") -- if something gets censored, then not because of that. Things that are changed include certain names (did you really want a woman named "Hooter" in Pilotwings -- that's her name in the Japanese version), or advertisement boards. While nintendo can get away with putting things like "Marioboro" into the Japanese version of Mario Kart 64, the U.S. would readily provide either a) a lawsuit from Marlboro, or b) pissed off parents because of smoking related ads...

I can see, MAYBE if they were actually going to make improvements a game that it could take a little while. But most games are not improved and the improvements that are there are very minor (like the voice overs in Mario you mentioned....really, who cares about that? I don't want to wait 3 or more months for something that trivial). The rest of that stuff (translation, manufacturing, policy, etc) is easy and should already be established with the games they have released before hand. They have been manufacturing and releasing games for years...that type of stuff is everyday business. Now you bring up a good point with timing plans. This is why most games are delayed. Most companies delay games so they can (a) match them up against other titles on other consoles, (b) wait for the next big shopping season, or (c) avoid 'self-competition' by having 2 big titles come out at once for the same console. It often has very little to do with manufacturing or translation...though that is what they like to tell consumers. But look at it realistically, I plan on buying Zelda no matter when it comes out...if it came out on a major shopping season like xmas, I may actually have to wait since I need money for gifts for other people. Or, if there were 2 big name titles I wanted, I would get on now and one later. Either way, when it comes to huge titles like Zelda, the people that want it will buy it when they can no matter what. > As to censorship: Japan is a lot more picky with violence issues than the > U.S. (Turok is one of the first games that features red blood instead of > "sweat") -- if something gets censored, then not because of that. Things that I don't know about that. Blood is a fairly recent addition to US games too. Hence the popularity of MK when it came out...it was unique. Look ay all the trouble games like that have stirred up in congress,...hence our very recent rating system. I did not that in "Fate of Warriors" for the PSX (japanese game), there is one scene where villagers are being stabbed, but the blood is an orange color...but there is a LOT of it! You can also break people into pieces in this game. Also, I don't suppose you watch any anime do you?? That is violence, blood, and gore heaven. Watch Fist of the North Star sometime. > are changed include certain names (did you really want a woman named "Hooter" > in Pilotwings -- that's her name in the Japanese version), or advertisement > boards.

They still do censor a lot of stuff. I own 20 or more Japanese games for my PSX, and in nearly every case, the US versions have FMV sequences missing...the endings are often redone, etc... A lot of censoring takes place in the games that come over here. Maybe not in the actual game, but often in FMV and endings. Compare the opening of Biohazard (Japanese Resident Evil) and Resident Evil sometime (I own both), a lot of stuff is cut out of the US version (in the opening especially). stryder: atcope@comp.uark.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Jonofun" Subject: Re: N64> Why can't we get the games at the same time?

A company spokesman said Nintendo had originally planned to launch sales by the end of this year, but that it was forced to postpone the target because of a delay in developing the disks and disk drives, which have a larger memory capacity than the conventional type." If you're slightly confused by the wording of the press release, don't be. This just basically says Nintendo has delayed the 64DD in Japan from December 1997 to March 1998. Like the N64 delays before it, this setback is almost certainly the result of the software not being ready in time. What does this mean for the U.S. release of the 64DD? Well, quite honestly, not all that much. The best guess for a release date before was the second half of 1998 in the U.S., and that's definitely going to hold true now. And with the cartridge market starting to thrive again (at least in the U.S.), Nintendo is in no hurry to release the add-on over here. Look for more information on this ground-breaking peripheral at the upcoming E3 show. ============================= Be sure to patronize N64 HQ at: http://www.n64hq.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: N64 News Subject: N64> ISS64 To Be Part of 'Nintendo Sports' / News from N64 HQ Date: 30 May 1997 14:43:58 -0600 (MDT) Konami's much-acclaimed International Superstar Soccer 64, which is due in the UK on June 13 (possibly a week or so later in other areas of Europe) and in the U.S. in July, has recently garnered itself the Nintendo Sports logo. On top of that, the game is exclusively for the Nintendo 64. Even though Konami has released Goal Storm '97 on the PlayStation, ISS64 is not exactly the same as that game. In fact, ISS64 is better. And, by the way, the PAL version of ISS64 runs at full screen and at full speed. Yet another reason to celebrate. But the most surprising aspect of ISS64's box is the reemergence of the Nintendo Sports label. Long-time N64 HQ readers will remember Nintendo introducing the "Nintendo Sports" label back in May of 1996. Touted as Nintendo's answer to Sega and Sony's sports divisions, the label produced a whole lot of nothing in 1996. Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey, the game that was originally supposed to debut the label, ended up not officially being part of the lineup. And other games such as FIFA Soccer 64, Mario Kart 64 and the now-canceled Monster Dunk were also supposed to be included. But none of the aforementioned titles were affiliated with Nintendo Sports. What has International Superstar Soccer 64 done to receive this "honor"? Nintendo is extremely fond of the title and, in fact, asked Konami if they would carry the logo on the box. Perfect Striker, the Japanese version of ISS64, is also one of Mario Club's favorite games. If you recall, Mario Club is NCL's (Nintendo Japan) internal software rating system. The members are all volunteers from the Japanese public. So what will become of this label in the future? With ISS64 breaking in the label, one can only assume that more titles will follow, including MLB Featuring Ken Griffey Jr. from Nintendo and Angel Studios and Nintendo's rumored basketball game. And if future sports games on the N64 follow ISS64's lead with great 3-D graphics, analog control and realistic gameplay, then Nintendo just might actually start to make the competition sweat. ============================= Be sure to patronize N64 HQ at: http://www.n64hq.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: N64 News Subject: N64> Blockbuster to Rent Imports? / News from N64 HQ Date: 30 May 1997 14:45:40 -0600 (MDT) An N64 HQ reader recently informed us that their local Blockbuster was renting imported games. But one quickly asks, "Isn't that illegal?" Blockbuster Video 204 Sikes Senter Mall Wichita Falls, TX 76308 (940) 696-0040 Like many corporations with thousands of stores across the nation, some Blockbuster stores may be independently owned and operated. So just because this particular Blockbuster is renting imported N64 titles, that doesn't mean your local store will be renting them. The store in question is currently renting three imported games for the same price as a normal game rental: Human Grand Prix, Pro Baseball King and St. Andrews Golf. On the inside front cover of the storage case, there is a layout of the controls and buttons in English. And the plastic case that the game comes in has a warning sticker on the cover that says something like this: WARNING! THIS VIDEO GAME HAS INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE IN JAPANESE. IF YOU NORMALLY NEED THE INSTRUCTIONS TO PLAY, RENT AT YOUR OWN RISK. How can you play the Japanese games, then? They have adapters strapped to the carts with the "IF YOU BREAK THIS SEAL, YOU BUY" Blockbuster sticker. The adapters are the same color and about the same size as the carts. FOR SALE AND USE IN JAPAN ONLY AND COMMERCIAL RENTAL PROHIBITED Considering Japanese Nintendo 64 games have the following warning in the back of their instruction booklets, this illegal activity will probably be stopped soon. However, it's highly unlikely we'll see any kind of rental war like Nintendo and Blockbuster had a few years back. Funny how they're good friends now, isn't it? ============================= Be sure to patronize N64 HQ at: http://www.n64hq.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: carol@city.langley.bc.ca Subject: N64> War Gods Date: 30 May 1997 21:32:41 GMT Anyone have any comments on this game.

Asked not to be mentioned by name, the source (who works closely with Midway) said that the company has no confirmed plans yet and is still in the discussion stages for such a sports line. But, games with a hard-edge simulation feel, not necessarily arcade-style games, are being considered for the proposed line. But during a phone interview with a company representative, Midway denied any such sports line exists. Midway has found incredible success with arcade-style sports games on Nintendo 64, which, by no coincidence, happen to be ported over from the arcade. NBA Hangtime and Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey are two of the games previous published and developed by Midway for Nintendo 64 (and the arcade), both of which have received tremendous commercial success, and without having any serious simulation qualities (although some would argue that Gretzky does in fact have those qualities). With such good fortune in the sports market, it seems that Midway, with a slew of good sports titles already in its back pocket, would start its own sports line, just as Interplay, Electronics Arts, Sony, and Sega, among others have done. Other hints that point to Midway's possible new line is the company's current interest in obtaining a license for either Indy car or NASCAR for future driving games. This sports line, if and when initiated, would start up as early as 1998, the source added. ============================= Be sure to patronize N64.com at: http://www.n64.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: N64 News Subject: N64> Resident Evil May Arrive on N64 / News from N64.com Date: 30 May 1997 16:39:03 -0600 (MDT) In a recent interview with Capcom Japan’s very own Yoshiki Okamoto, Dengeki Nintendo 64 magazine of Japan reported that the developer is currently researching the possibility of releasing a new version of Resident Evil for Nintendo 64. Capcom Japan often develops games without notifying Capcom's U.S. headquarters, and then even reveals that news to the Japanese press beforehand. Certainly, even if Capcom US knew about the the possibility of Resident Evil appearing on N64, the company wouldn't have said anything to the press. So when N64.com called Capcom US, we were not surprised by the company's response. "As far as we're concerned, Resident Evil 64 is merely a rumor," a Capcom representative said. "We have no comment on what Capcom Japan does. Most of our announcements in regard to games arriving on home console games will be made at E3. Currently, we have made no such announcements." Although the game has not been confirmed -- even in Japan the game is still in the experimental stages -- if a new ninja-based Resident Evil does manifest into a real videogame, this would no doubt be a major coupe for Nintendo, which has been struggling to gain hit third-party games. In addition, a game like Resident Evil would help to loosen N64’s image as a “kids only” gaming machine. ============================= Be sure to patronize N64.com at: http://www.n64.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Peers2@aol.com Subject: Re: N64> War Gods Info!

Not my cup of tea, quite frankly. I've been amazed when I got the first 3D fighter for the PSX (Toshinden), and I played it a lot -- but for some reason I can't get into War Gods. I find the character design a little silly, the 5,000 hit-combos (or whatever) annoying, and the fact that you have to stay within a small ring (with an invisible barrier) is really dumb. I really loved kicking people off a building, etc in other games, but in War Gods you just bump into an invisible wall. I don't think WG is as horrible as everyone makes it out to be -- it's leagues ahead of Mortal Kombat Trilogy, and it's a much more solid piece of programming. But no lighting effects, lame screams and the cheesy MK blood effects make it look dated.

It seems that inspite of the cart memory restrictions, N64 games come up with the most tracks. BTW: TGR has a hidden fifth track.

I don't see how you can like it. It's just not type of game I guess. To be honest, I've never played the arcade version (mainly because I couldn't find one anywhere) so maybe I'm not the best person to ask about the translation, but the game itself is not that good. Anyone else agree? At 04:47 PM 5/30/97 -0600, you wrote: > To tell you the truth, I was quite surprised. This game is really actually >pretty good.

I was playing last night on level 5 (catacombs) and I was in the part after you enter the portal thats atop the pillar near the save point. I finished the lower part and jumped up the pillars to the "natural" looking caves. At one point I turned right and the passage was blocked by rubble. I walked toward the rubble and passed right through! On the other side was the end-of-the world BLUE WALL. My instructions are vague as I only went there once, it was late last night, and I got killed shortly after. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "C. James MacLennan" Subject: RE: N64> Why can't we get the games at the same time? Date: 30 May 1997 10:31:36 -0500 It really is just a development issue. I work, and have worked, for software companies that release in multiple languages. We have been releasing in multiple languages for years. It is our goal to have simulataneous localized releases, but we have never attained that goal. All companies (software, gaming, and others) realize the simple business rule that time-to-market translates directly into cash, which has basically two parts: 1) They want your money now, not later. (time-value of money) 2) They want your money to go to them, and not to a competitor. So the idea that a company would deliberately delay a game just to make you sweat is rediculous. Would the company want to take your $70 today and make you happy so you come back for more, or would they try and make you wait, potentially pissing you off and have you swear off their products altogether. What many of the response posts have been trying to say is that there is alot more to localizing software than meets the eye. Names, images, colors, sounds, etc.etc. may have different connotations in every language, or even in different cultures that share the same language. Different length strings caused by varying language constructs cause problems - memory usage, screen display, etc. etc. -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, May 30, 1997 12:06 AM On Fri, 30 May 1997, Gary Ireland wrote: > - WE had to get translators in, and also had to find all the text in the > game. > - Other Countries have different symbols for letters.

This should be everday stuff for them, they have been translating games for years. Not to mention that a large portion of the Japanese already know English anyway. Also, a company like Sony translates instructions for thousands of different electronic products all the time. I just should not take more than 1 month to translate a game for companies this big and with this much experience in this area.
