Unconfirmed reports have Nintendo's first 64-bit baseball title hitting home in early 1998. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ First shown in playable form at last June's electronic Entertainment Expo in Atlanta, Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball was well on track to become the first baseball game for the Nintendo 64 in the US - or so it was thought. Late last week, rumors began to circulate on the Net that the release of the game had been pushed back until sometime in early 1998 by its developer, Angel Studios. Could the rumors be true? Could yet another promising N64 title have been pushed back by months? When contacted today regarding the situation, a spokesperson for Nintendo could neither confirm or deny the validity of this rumor, leaving one to wonder: will Ken Griffey make it to stores in time for Christmas, or will it fall victim to the slipped release date syndrome that has plagued nearly ever major N64 title to date? Stay tuned to UGP Online for the answer. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Aug 1997 23:20:08 -0500 (CDT) From: John Carson Subject: Re: N64> Re: N64 vs. PlayStation On Mon, 18 Aug 1997, Tippyman wrote: > So, is the analog available for import?

Yea, the PSX version is really immersive and VERY creepy. It's really cool, but you gotta take a breather every once and a while. Spooky. If there's a game out there that'll scare you, it's this one. It freaked me out when those dogs came through the window, aa! I hope there'll be an N64 version, the load time was a bitch. You can only stare at the door and steps for so long...

Damn those monitors are heavy. > You are right when you say that a decent Accelerater card is around $200. However, you are forgetting that computers can be used for a lot more than just gaming. For example, you can type a letter and send it, write a report, do up some graphics, host a web site, browse the web, interact with other users and machines on a network, manage a database site, and use thousands of other various software for thousands of other applications. Oh, and you can also play games on it. Don't forget, also, that the Playstation ties up a TV at the same time (as opposed to a computer). As far as heavy machines are concerned, my *laptop* is relatively light. And it has MMX tech. pentium 150 with a TFT active matrix machine that blows on GL Quake. I have even networked it at a friends house with a cheap hub that does the trick just fine (and it fits nicely into my backpack). What I am trying to say is that this laptop matches and/or rivals the speed and graphics of any Playstation game, but it can't quite do what the N64 can do. jyonasan's daily 2 - -------------------------------- Jonathan Long / Osaka, Japan Development Engineer, Saraya Co., Ltd. - ------- sarayajl@po.globe.or.jp ------- > John Carson (jcarson@comp.uark.edu) > > "Saying Windows 95 is equal to Macintosh is like finding a potato that > looks like Jesus and believing you've witnessed the second coming." > > ------------------------------ Date: From: Craig Cummings Subject: RE: N64> Game release dates Mornin' > Is there any other N64 users in England who have lost their patience YES !!!!

One of the principal ideas for DVD is that you wouldn't need multiple DVD players. You could hook up a single DVD player to your stereo, TV, computer, and potentially, your game console, which would be awesome! This would make the console cost cheaper, so the manufacturer could ignore media development and invest more in graphics/sound/etc. Of couse, given the market leader in consumer electronics, it's obvious who would want to adopt a strategy like this..... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Aug 1997 19:11:12 +0100 From: "Gary Mort" Subject: Re: N64> Game release dates I bought mine for £215.

Because of these odds, I find it a better use of my time to ban and answer questions later. You privs will be re-instated for posting soemtime tomorrow, please do not EVER post a test message to a mailing list again. It is not only rude, but gives undue burden to the machine that hosts this list. ____________________________________ Tippyman tippyman@geocities.com http://tippy.home.ml.org "only as*holes write in notepad! it is like swimming across the atlantic ocean. u can do it but why would u want to if u could fly! i fly with aolpress why u swim in the sea of sh*t with notepad!" - -AMadajewsk@aol.com - ---------- > From: Kevin Dent > To: n64@xmission.com > Subject: N64> test > Date: Tuesday, August 19, 1997 9:15 AM > > test ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Aug 1997 14:41:11 -0400 From: "Tippyman" Subject: Re: N64> Acclaim giving n64 more than games ;) PART II > But why do you never talk about your nes and snes then?? nes rules!

The card is in the N64 box, there's even a 1-800 number you can call to register. The company doesn't know you have a N64 without registry! ____________________________________ Tippyman tippyman@geocities.com http://tippy.home.ml.org "only as*holes write in notepad! it is like swimming across the atlantic ocean. u can do it but why would u want to if u could fly! i fly with aolpress why u swim in the sea of sh*t with notepad!" - -AMadajewsk@aol.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Aug 1997 18:50:38 GMT From: penfold@netcentral.co.uk (penfold) Subject: Re: N64> Game release dates On Tue, 19 Aug 1997 10:13:11 +0100, you wrote: > I am also fed up with waiting for decent software, so I am taking the = step >of buying an import machine.

Most of these come out between now and Christmas in US. Final Fantasy 7 Final Fantasy Tactics - Supposed in ways better than FF7 Transformers: Beast Wars - Been a fan since was a kid that alone makes worth it. Spawn: Good lucking game and I'm a Spawn fan. Breath of Fire 3 - Good looking RPG. WCW Nitro - Awesome wrestling game. PitFall 3D - I've played the demo if a pitfall fan a most buy. Here are some others. *=I might buy Tomb Raider 2* Apocolypse* Blasto Crash Bandicoot 2 Well that's all I can really think of now but there is more. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Aug 1997 14:24:21 -0500 From: KSB@webtv.net (keiron bryant) Subject: N64> REGISTRATION DOES ANYONE KNOW THE 800 NUMBER TO REGISTER A N64??? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Aug 1997 16:06:34 -0400 From: dkalweit@computer-connection.net (Kalweit, Derek) Subject: Re: N64> Acclaim giving n64 more than games ;) PART II >> But why do you never talk about your nes and snes then?? nes rules! >Try to >> get as much free games a sposible, it isn't that hard (look at derek) >Go to funcoland (in the US), they have NES games for a nickel! Zelda >costs $3.50! I collect 'em to. Only SMB/Duckhunt and stuff is for a nickel. ;) The good stuff is at least $1 or $2. Plus, Funcoland has a reputation for ripping people off. I'd rather deal with other guys. I normally deal with a Jason Brick, who operates a place called "Triangle Video Games". He just got a website up-- http://www.trianglevideogames.com/ :) Looks like he needs a little work on his HTML, but he's fairly good with trading video games. :) /--------------------------------------------------------\ |Derek Kalweit | |dkalweit@computer-connection.net | |FIDONET: 1:2613/128.2 | |http://www.computer-connection.net/~dkalweit/ | \--------------------------------------------------------/ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Aug 1997 15:59:48 -0400 From: dkalweit@computer-connection.net (Kalweit, Derek) Subject: Re: N64> Acclaim giving n64 more than games ;) PART II >>It all comes down to games... you said you don't know how people can >>consider the PSX better than the N64.

I don't know why it went down, though. Cool. How many shares you got(as long as that isn't confidential or something).

Did it come with the n64? Or does every N64 >owner get that package? When you buy a N64 new (or most any electronic item), you get a registration card. You fill out things like your name, address, what computers/consoles you own and what kinda games you like, and send it in(it's a postcard)-- postage is usually pre-paid by Nintendo. That is registering. :) /--------------------------------------------------------\ |Derek Kalweit | |dkalweit@computer-connection.net | |FIDONET: 1:2613/128.2 | |http://www.computer-connection.net/~dkalweit/ | \--------------------------------------------------------/ ------------------------------ End of n64 Digest V1 #106 ************************* To subscribe to n64 Digest, send the command: subscribe n64-digest in the body of a message to "majordomo@xmission.com".
