Expanding on..
Hey! I just spent a few hours playing Mario Tennis on my portable 32Bit Nintendo system. The screen looks bigger than the Game Boy Colors, that's for sure. The L & R buttons are also very comfortable. I'm glad I got it.

I'm talking about the Virtual Boy.I spent most of the day working on graphics, and stuff for Radio DMG.. which will be DJed soon, complete with mock commercials!! Oh, should I put Virtual Boy music on Radio DMG as well? I mean, it is pretty close to being a member of the Game Boy family of systems. Just a thought. The sound chip on that puppy is cool. Oh, I do enjoy looking back on things and so.. I got a lot done today actually. I'm working on play lists for Radio DMG, I got more permission to run some even more awesome music, and I have some interesting content I'm working on. On Friday, I hope to have final results in on the Nuby contest, so I can send out the prizes by as early as next Tuesday. Also, there is some good news for Viral Speak. I'll have a new one, some previews, and some reviews up really soon. Sorry for the delay.. these last few days.. I've been really tired for some reason, and I've got a bit of work to do. I'm eyeing potential right now.. so.. umm.. hehehe you'll see.. you'll see. -PAW-
 

What's today?!
Viral Speak is fixed,I did stuff and stuff.. and I'm tired.. Happy Valentine's Day or something. Oh, yeah.. here's some news! The next Legend of Zelda games will be out in MAY! Praise be! Also, Game Boy Advance on June 11th. Good. Oh.. for Valentines Day.. hmm... I know. *takes out can of De Evolution Spray* There you go.. and also Poppy Seed.. YAY! -PAW-

Sock Monkey sits there silently thinking Sock Monkey thoughts.
Philip: I did it for all of you...

New for me to eat!
New games come out this week! Dragon's Lair from Capcom finally makes it on to shelves and NBA Hoopz comes out this weekend too. Out of those two.. I would suggest Dragon's Lair. It's FMV-delicious! -PAW-

Adrock: I recommend NBA Hoopz simply because they spelled it with a z.
Philip: I recommend you don't pay attention to Adrock; because his name ends with a K.

A Fen for life.
I read Video Senki. Fun site and it has a recently translated interview that is worth your click and read. I truly suggest you do. -PAW-

Adrock: Have a super fun!
Philip: I'm physically fit; maybe I should work with Capcom?
 

Previews MADNESS
Hey.. there was a previews update.. just so you know. Maybe a new review or two... if I can get them up there.. I'm wrestling with some CGI. -PAW-

Adrock: It's why you still come here.
Philip: I thought it was my charm!
 

Just a note.
February.. announcement of Dreamcast phase out, Lufia: The Legend Returns canceled, Viral Speak is having troubles, and Napster is ruled to shut down. Also.. Valentines Day is this Thursday. Is this the worst month ever or what? -PAW-

Adrock: In Napster's case... America has always really been capitalism in a land of people... people don't thrive off of people, they thrive off of business. And that's why Napster could never work. It's giving you something free that a business-oriented world would have you pay for.
Philip: I wish I could go back in time and copyright spit. Then, whenever people kissed, I could demand they pay me; because they were sharing spit, which I would own the copyright on. I would make a fortune around this time. hehehe.

Doesn't the Short Muse.. REALLY belong here?!

Philip isn't on strike!
I know.. I know.. I got a Dreamcast today.. and umm.. well.. I also got a bunch of Magi Nation cards.. and... and.. well.. you get the idea. Phantasy Star Online is online digital addictive drug or something.. Oh, Nyko is being an dimp aboutt their new "patent" read below in the news and you'll understand. They even have the nerve to go after the Cobra Light. Feh. Forgive the curse word; but that is a bastardly thing to do. It's just not right. Oh, well.. what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.. I suppose? I suggest you go buy a Cobra Light to show your support of the product. I don't use the Worm Light; and I don't think you should either. I use a Cobra Light. I have three myself. Great devices. Also, avoid the Blob Light as well. You could also do what Pikamom did and import one of those nifty Pikachu lights. That would be col. Oh, impending shortage on the GBA? Maybe... but here's a little bit more stuff for you to enjoy.

1. Sometime later today.. I'll upload 5 new reviews. Watch out for them. ;)
2. If you're on Phantasay Star Online.. I hang out there.. if you have Yahoo IM, AOL AIM, or ICQ.. add me to your list.. then if I'm online.. and I'm not too busy.. we'll go questing with ya. ^_^
AIM: Philipdmgice
Yahoo: dmgice
ICQ: 10714727
3. CoCo Lee has a sweet voice. (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon soundtrack. Oh, yeah.)
4. Rayman for the Game Boy Advance has a multi-player game link mode. Two Player "Capture the Flag" or probably.. the "Lum".. mmmmm.. I'm drooling already. Nothing like sharing some lum with a friend. hehehe
5. Thursday will have a new Viral Speak.
6. If you haven't seen Weak Link at Snowflake Studios.. do so! I'm busy on that site too! I'll be adding the Short of the Stick archives ASAP. As well as the Weak Link archives.
7. The 26th of February is the "Official" 3rd Birthday of DMG Ice. We're actually a year older then that.. but we were "DMG Ice" for three years.. instead of Philip's Game Boy website. We're still the oldest. The second oldest Game Boy website still in exsistence is EAGB. They're cool too. ^_^
8. Nintendo will be showing the Game Boy Advance at the Tokyo Game Show 2001. Yay. Oh! Famitsu (Pay for props review central.) gave the Legend of Zelda Time/Season games.. Silver. Which isn't bad. They scored as well as Zone of Enders. Which is well.. no surprise. ^_^

Happy Presidence day.
Philip is exhausted.. he umm.. been working on stuff.. and stuff.. oh forget it. Here's a little bit of news for everyone!
1. Rougue Spear/Heart of Darkness headed for Game Boy Advance.
2. Jet Pack Willy/Manic Miner headed to GBC.
3. Nintendo headed to the Tokyo Game Show (where we will see a new GBA game.. maybe.)
4. Philip headed to bed to sleep and be much lazy. -PAW-

Oh, no! Error!
Darn! Now I give you the right url for... Viral Speak. -PAW-

Nyko = EVIL!
Nyko got a patent on their Worm Lights. But... I'm surprised they were able to do that. I mean, seriously. How long ago was the Worm Light shown? It's sold over a million units; and I'm quite sure it's over 12 months old. (Making the patent illegal.) Also, the first patent is an abstract patent. That is correct. But it is worded, very, very loosely. Here is the URL so you can see the patent. What bugs me is that it's worded in a such a way that it can be easily interpted to mean any damn thing Nyko wants.

"An illumination device that can use a white light diode in a flexible arm plugs into, and is powered through, a utility power jack of a portable computing device or a utility port of a portable computing device."

This is bad for companies like Mad Catz, and Pelican. (Bone Light, etc.) Although, is the Game Boy really a portable computing device? When was the last time you did a spreadsheet on your GBC? Also, the Game Link port could be considered a Utility Power Jack; but it's not used that way often. -PAW-
 

Who's afraid of Red Jade?
Not me. IGN Pocket did a little article and I think it's a ruble. In other words: I think it's a worthless coin. I'm setting my cynicism meter on 100% until I see an actual GAME. Speaking of games.. the guy in charge of it was partially responsable for the Atari Lynx's library of games. Which included a grand total of ZERO RPG games. -PAW-

Do drio and her too.

I was sifting through my e-mail and I discovered that.. a lot of submitted reviews.. were sitting in my e-mail.. you see.. I get upwardly of 150+ e-mails a day.. and sometimes.. stuff falls through.. so.. I'll work on getting those.. up.. not much in the news.. in fact.. nothing really.. oither then that Nintendo announced "cool USA names" for the previously shown three colors of GBA. Whatever. Later! -PAW-

All quiet on the Western Front..
Tokyo Game Show is coming in Japan. Nintendo will be showing off the Game Boy Advance to retailers, and select people. Game Boy Advance will be there and there's really nothing new to report. Oh, I added somereviews.. more later. -PAW-

If a Shadow Hyren and a Mewtwo got in a fight.. who would win?

Dear Sega...
Stop with the GOODNESS.. I mean it.. I was supposed to do Viral Speak tonight.. some reviews.. and I had previews.. but.. no... I got home, made some calls... wrote some e-mails.. and.. clocked in seven more hours of Phantasy Star Online... WHAT! Sega is putting a sequel out later this year? NO. Bad Sonic Team.. I want to have a LIFE... a LIFE, I tell you! The keyboard is coming in the mail.. All my time are belong to Sega! Oh! THQ announced a bunch of titles. Power Rangers: Time Whatever, CMX 2002, Jimmy Neutron, Scooby Doo (Might be nifty! Let Digital Eclipse do it!), Wild Thornberrys, Sponge Bob, Rocket Power, and Tetris World (Kay!) for the Game Boy Advance. Yeah. Oh.. Majesco has Fortres, Iridion 3D, Pitfall, and Earthworm Jim.. Majesco has a slighty better line-up.. I'll say. ;) Oh, EGM had screenshots and I scanned 'em in for ya. Here's Pitfall, and Earthworm Jim. Yum. Oh, Nyko showed off their products for the GBA.. I suggest you DON'T buy some of them. Especially the Worm Light Advance; because it won't light up the entire Game Boy Advance screen properly. It's a science thing. (Light Diffusion.) It will leave blind spots and uneven lighting. Do you really want to miss the target in Iridion 3D; because there was a GLARE spot where your enemy was? It's essentially a repackage of an existing product you can buy right now. How creative. Also, that Game Link cable they have is well.... buy the Nintendo Official ones. The Shock N Rock looks like the Neo Geo Pocket Color one. It's an interesting device and the best in this line-up. The AC Adaptor looks functional. Unless Nyko thinks the GBA has an AC plug in port. Nyko has become just like Sony in terms of innovation.. and you know what I think of Sony. Would you buy the Game Boy Advance if it were just a vertical GBC with a wider screen? No. I expect products to upgrade, and become better. I've already SEEN these products before and these are just repackageing. -PAW-

Is all for you.
Here's an article that is, essentially, a load of shipp... ing. Shipping out this week is three GBC titles. Here's the quick lowdown.

1. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's Winners Circle - The Dynamic Duo come out and admit they are really Equestrians. And we're not talking in a "Fear Effect 2" way. Watch the pair ride wild horses to victory.
2. Toy Story 2 Racer - This racing game can give you the chance to control your Woody in racing action that is sure to give you a buzz. Come on, Bo Peep! Ride with my Woody!
3. Magi Nation - Check out our preview of this RPG. It's the best of these three games coming out this week. And if you can't dig it.. you can go to Core. The battle style is deep, and similiar to the Card Game. Loads of text, and a sarcastic attitude. Anyways, it's the pick for this week. It's one the best games to come out this month. -PAW-
 

God Save the Pikachu.
It's a well known fact in Britain and England, that the Papparazzi weren't the cause of the Princess Di accident. Her limo driver was just very depressed by the fact that it takes Pokemon titles so incredibly long to make it to Europe. Anyways, April 6th marks the Pokemon Gold/Silver invasion of Europe. There will be 55,000 units on the launch date in Europe. So, everyone from Prince William, to Prince Charles 57th mistress will be able to obtain a copy. If I insulted anyone from that region.. sorry. hehehe -PAW-
 

We are incredibly spoiled.
Who needs GBA just yet? Umm.. well.. we all want one; but I was just thinking.. I've been looking over the newest Zelda titles (In Japanese of course); and I can say.. they may look like Link's Awakening at a glance; but they beat it hands down in the music and graphics department. You'll see, when you play them in May. Dragon Warrior 3 is also exceedingly drool worthy, smooth attack animations for the enemies, amazingly smart special effects, the game is just so detailed it puts everything on the GBC to shame. I mean it. Now.. all we need is for Shantae, Mythri, and Tyranosaurus Tex to get publishers. C'Mon US publishers! Damn it! T-Tex is a 16 megabit cartridge. That's not that expensive. Shantae and Mythri need 32-megabit carts; but still.. they will sell. Get some good box art on them and they will sell. All three of these titles could get an E rating from the ESRB. I mean Metal Gear Solid got an "E". Let's look at something here... Magi Nation has a high retail demand thanks to advertisements in Nintendo Power. But, Mythri, Shantae, and -recently- T. Tex have had no coverage in Nintendo Power or other magazines like EGM, etc. Now, here's the idea. Send an e-mail or fifty to noapulse@nintendo.com asking for information about those three titles. Go on, do it. The idea is to let Nintendo Power know that you want those games. Also, send FAN ART of Kageru, Shantae, or Tex to Nintendo Power. Fan Art is the best way to help those games. Nintendo Power has a distinct weakness for that type of thing. Send them letters with artwork from those games and tell them you want information on those games. Most publishers WANT to take the risk; but don't because -simply put- they're afraid they'll lose money. If the game is mentioned in Nintendo Power... it has a slightly better chance of living to see release on GBC. Got it? Good. -PAW-

Hey! We got some new reviews! Yup! I found some more reader reviews, and I -Philip Wesley, the self-styled Hiroshi Yamauchi of the Game Boy universe- give my opinion on "Scooby Doo: Classic Creep Capers". Umm.. go read. More tommorrow. -PAW-
