I haven't bought anything since Zelda. There are only three games will buy this year: Smash Bros. JFG and Donkey Kong. Although this a cliche, next year could be Nintendo's year. Excitebike, Perfect Dark, Zelda Gaiden, Earthbound 64, Mario RPG, Kirby 64, Banjo-Tooie, Riqa, Eternal Darkness, Conker's Quest, Pokemon Stadium. All those games have potential since they are Nintendo 1st and 2nd party. It's a shame that just as the N64 is on the way out that we get a decent line-up of upcomming games. alexh@ivanhoe.starway.net.au [ To quit the n64 mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe n64" ] [ (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ End of n64-digest V1 #880 ************************* [ To quit the n64-digest mailing list (big mistake), send the message ] [ "unsubscribe n64-digest" (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ]
