GameCube's Next Online Game is...

I had the honor of picking up Nintendo's Promotional holiday booklet yesterday.When flipping through the pages, I noticed that the paper they printed it on, or maybe its the ink, smells very good. Its the best smelling paper ive ever smelled. So you should all pick one up to smell the thing. Anyways, I was reading away, and on page 42, I came across the All Star Baseball 2004 preview. It reads as follows.

''Coming this spring, play as the top Major League Players of today, as well as history's greatest in the latest version of the award-winning All-Star Baseball featuring Derek Jeter. Go to bat as Derek, or any of your other favorite stars vs. all-time immortals such as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, or Jackie Robinson. Eperience the most realistic baseball game ever directly on your Nintendo Gamecube OR ONLINE WITH A FRIEND! Look for all new features such as Pick Up Game Mode where you chose new teams at all new stadiums!

Maybe someone allready knows this, but it was news to me, and it seem All Star Baseball 2004 will be the Cube's Next Online game. I might look into it if it gets good reviews.

That'd be fun. I wonder if you need a whole team of people to play or maybe it could be a combo of real people and computers?

Fascinating..... I've always liked baseball games. =D

You think it spilled Nintendo's beans?

Hmm... when is it going to be released? Cause Some developers could add online play if they took care of the server themselves... like PSO. Right?

I picked up that Promo booklet the other day and since you said the paper smelled good, I smelled it. Smells decent. But its just paper, so I don't care much. But I didn't notice the little Baseball online part. Now I did. Maybe it is the next game. At least some companies are trying to incorporate online into its game(s). (*cough THPS4)

She's nice. I also think the chick on page 59 and 65 is hot as hell too.

Yea the blonde is alright, but the girl on page 4 and 5 has more appeal to me...that same girl is also on page 22, for those who care, with glasses and a different hairstyle, and different clothes...still damn hot tho.
