Long time Nintendo president, Hiroshi Yamauchi, will step down today from Nintendo after fifty-two years of dedicated service. Yamauchi announced his intention to retire in February. Hiroshi Yamauchi became president of the family business in 1949 and during his term, developed the company from a playing card manufacturer into a massively successful multi-billion dollar international corporation. Taking his place is Satoru Iwata, Director and General Manager of the Corporate Planning Division of Nintendo. Prior to joining Nintendo in 2000, Iwata served as President of Hal Laboratory, where he coordinated software development and production of several Nintendo games. 

At SpaceWorld 2001, Nintendo unveiled an intruiging new title which demonstrated the interconnectivity possiblities of GameCube and Game Boy Advance. Kirby Tilt 'N' Tumble as we have known it for nearly a year has since been transformed into Roll-o-Rama. Simply, the game involves using a Game Boy Advance tilt sensor linked through a controller port to the GameCube to roll balls of various designs throughout complex levels while completing a variety of obstacles. If your ball falls off the level it is caught on the Game Boy Advance where it may be controlled in hand until it is launched back on screen. Nintendo employees at the game's kiosk informed GameCubicle that Kirby may be down but definitely not out. Nintendo is in development with a new Kirby adventure for GameCube. Unfortunately, we were not able to find out much more about this secret title.

Nintendo's Animal Crossing, which will launch in North America on September 16th, will come with a packed-in Nintendo memory card. Nintendo localization employees informed us that EAD has worked with them extensively throughout the localization process to modify furniture and holidays - such as Thanksgiving - for the North American version. Playing Animal Crossing at E3, we were greeted by characters in the game with such comments as, 'You think you can walk into anyone's home just because you're attending E3?' Nintendo employees apparently had some fun localizing the game specifically for E3. Animal Crossing's gameplay now extends to Game Boy Advance, opening new worlds, and also links it to trading cards with the introduction of the e-Reader.

Nintendo officially acknowledged today that the Legend of Zelda for Nintendo GameCube has been delayed to February 2003. The game, which we found to be visually stunning at times and lackluster at others, holds great potential in gameplay as the game development is furthered. GameCubicle.com talked with a Nintendo localization executives who commented that the game is not anticipated to begin North American localization until November or December. This would make a holiday release on this side of the ocean a near impossibility. Nevertheless, Nintendo's holiday lineup remains nothing short of spectacular.

Nintendo is showcasing several innovative games at E3 that further expand connectivity, starting with the revolutionary Animal Crossing, a community building adventure. This new game extends game fun from Nintendo GameCube to Game Boy Advance, opening new worlds, and also links it to trading cards with the introduction of the e-Reader. Players can download full classic NES games to the Game Boy Advance for hand-held fun on the go, and swipe trading cards through the e-Reader, which attaches to the Game Boy Advance to transport messages from the characters, game items and even music.
