Minidiscs only hold 140MB. They can store the same amount of audio as
a CD because they use audio compression.

I think Writable DVD is the only viable current medium, but to avoid
piracy Nintendo will probably invent something themselves (or get
someone else to invent it for them).

Hmm. So the N128 will cost about $5000? ;)

Nintendo wants something that they can manufacture exclusivly, aliike carts,
so a CD, DVD, or MD medium seems out of the questions. Whoever mentioned the
2-gig writeable disks has got somehting there. If they can already be mass
produced  cheaply enough to support a drve, then that is  apossibility. Also,
who really needs the 2 gigs? Nintenod could make thier own, 1 gig disk. Thta
is plenty of space, with a cheaper price tag.

I loved it to, but the only thing was, to get the real ending, you needed 2
ploayers to beat it. I didn't know anybody else who could beat it with me,
and rtying to protect player 2 for 100 levels is pretty tough.
What's the real ending like anyways?

Bust-a-move 3 (or 99, whatever) is the much awaited (by me anyway) sequel
to Bust-a-move 2:AE. It is being released for the N64. It is a fun game
where you shoot bubbles of different colour up to a big mass of bubbles of
various colour. When 3 bubbles of the same colour touch, they blow up and
send other bubbles crashing down. In the new version (3 or 99) there is a 4
player mode. It will be CRAZY!!!
Hopefully it will be like, if I send down 6 bubbles, each other guy gets 6
bubbles, not 2 (6 / 3 = 2).

    Yes, N64. It's gonna be sweet. And it probably will be 40 or 50, too, since it's not
 really a mainstream title.

N64.

Oh yeah. I made a mistake. Bust A Move 2 isn't on the Neo-Geo. The BAM that's
on the Neo-Geo is the original Bust A Move (Bust A Move 1 if you may call it.)
D'oh!

I don't know. My brother gave up around level 50. Wasn't there like 112 levels

BTW, after installing the expander pak, it seems like the game doesn't slow

BTW, I was wondering about this. Back when the DexDrive was announced, IGN64
said that it could be used to download new rosters and stats for sports
games every year. I think this would be a very cool feature. However, I was
thinking about it more closely, and I realized that this suggests that you
would have to store all of the players in a league on the controller pak,
which I believe is impossible (Hell, courtside takes up most of a pak just
to store season stats, let alone the roster.) Otherwise, they would have to
make the section of the cart that stores the roster editable, meaning make
it a really large capacity EEPROM, which I think would be prohibitively
expensive. Anyone have any ideas that I haven't thought of?

You can fit team rosters, but can you fit the rosters of all 20-40 teams in
any given league? Also, you're assuming it's easy to make carts rewritable.
It's not, for it to be rewritable a company must use EEPROM chips, which are
more expensive than regular cart memory.

I own ASB '99 and on one standard Nintendo memory pack I can fit a roster
and a season.  What the companies will do is just simply make the part of
the game holding the rosters rewritable.  Being a cart this should be OK.
