"Making Paper
Nintendo Cuts Out an RPG Sequel
Remember Paper Mario on N64? Its a bit late to play catch up now, that game fetches much cash on eBay. Basically it was a brilliant twist on the RPG theme, reinventing the Mario cast as cardboard cut-outs with levels that fold up like they're made of paper. You'll get your chance to see it, as it's on the slate for Gamecube. It's unclear as yet if it's a remake or an entirely new game, but we're betting on the latter. Release is set for the middle of 2004, so for now this is just an early heads up. And a cool Mario picture to look at."
--------
There is a short but sweet Yuji Naka interview early on in this issue (to go with the Miyamoto, Kojima and Denis Dyack tidbits). It basically covers Billy Hatcher and then right at the end his views on Online games. The Billy Hatcher bit sheds some light on the story when he's asked about the rooster suit... If I'm reading this right - basically roosters' come from Morning Land. Billy goes to the land of the rooster to try and destroy the morning.. he needs to do something to control the egg, so in the beginning he has to wear the daft suit. Here's what he had to say on Online games for GCN:
Q: Phantasy Star Online was the first network game for Gamecube. What is your view of Online Games?
A: I think that online games are really great. I personally think that Gamecube should have more online games and I want to encourage creators to make more online games. Nintendo themselves should create many more online games.
--------
Zelda:
"Speaking at an E3 news conference, The Wind Waker's director, Eiji Aonuma, mentioned that the next game in his series would be playable at E3 2004"
---------
Pokémon
"Tsunekazu Ishihara, president of Pokémon makers, Creatures Inc, has revealed that a Pokémon RPG is under development for Gamecube. However, no release date is available yet."
