I'm so glad Nintendo is finally getting their act together. As Jason mentioned last night, Mario Sunshine is shipping here in August. In addition, Eternal Darkness won't slip (according to an interview on the locked part of cube.ign.com), Resident Evil's done, Star Fox Adventures might actually come out this year, my game's slated for this year, Zelda should be out. It looks like the second part of the year might finally be a good one for Nintendo. And I was starting to get worried.

It's also still a pretty damned good time for gaming as there has just been one good game after another coming out. I'm still playing Baldur's Gate, but I also picked up Maximo. That game is really hard but I'll be damned if it's not fun as hell. Of course, if I would have known it was the sequel to Ghouls and Ghosts, I probably would have picked it up earlier. I also picked up Sega Soccer Slam for the GC, which will hopefully become the new co-op game that Berenger, Steve, and I play since we got the Stanley Cup in NHL Hitz 2002, which was some underrated great fun incidentally.
