Even though SMW2 I dont think back then was called a cel-shaded game, by todays standard you could call it that. or "Toon Shading".

I recieved the new EGM magazine today(thank you to whoever posted that topic a long time ago about how to get a free subscribtion to EGM)

In the rumor section, they stated that Nintendo is in talks with developers, and that the sucsessor to the Cube is rumored to launch possibly in FALL 2004. I of course laughed that one off, knowing Nintendo. But it got me thinking, do you think Miyamato might be holding off Mario 128 as a launch title for the next console?

I second that! March 2004 is the cutoff date, but by then, I will most likely renew, (unless EGM does something that really pisses me off)

Hmm, that kind of sounds like Nintendo thinking to me, but the one thing i really want in the next consoles (all of them) is backward capability. I think that will be a big factor for me.

I read that too... but damn, that would mean only a 3 year life span for GCN!

wait...



I hope it doesn't exactly go down that way though...
