VINTAGE VIDEOGAME MUSIC AND CANDY
April 30 2004 - 7:43 am (CET) - Posted by Acey GENERAL

Okay I wanted to make some sort of interesting headline for this one but it didn't really work out.

Lik Sang has a new product available on their website, not really their typical product, but hey!

Here's what they wrote:

The Famicom Game Sound Museum Candy Toy from Mega House includes a yogurt-flavoured candy along with an 8cm music CD packed into a small package. Each disc includes background music from 1 out of 20 classic Famicom™ games, including background music from Super Mario Bros., Balloon Fight, Donkey Kong, Ice Climber, Zelda, and more.

One of the following games' music is included in each box:

  • Super Mario Brothers
  • Donkey Kong
  • Donkey Kong Jr.
  • Baloon Fight
  • Wrecking Crew
  • Ice Climbers
  • Lightgun Series (Wild Gunman,Duck Hunt, Hogans Alley)
  • Sports Series (Baseball, Tennis, Golf, Ice Hockey)
  • Robot Block, Gyromite
  • Legend of Zelda
  • Riddle of Murasame Castle
  • Metroid
  • Kid Icarus
  • Folk Tale: Uncharted Demon Island
  • Folk Tale: Brave Spirits

    The price is no more than $6.95, so I believe everyone should be able to afford to listen to old Famicom music while eating candy. Click ( here ) to visit liksang... and don't forget to order some for me too ;-)

  • NEW RESELLER OF GBA FLASH CARTS
    April 30 2004 - 7:30 am (CET) - Posted by 64scener GAMEBOY ADVANCE

    www.linker4u.com was born recently with the goal of becomming the most reliable reseller on the market, though with everyone else being told by Nintendo to stop sales, that won't be much of a problem ;-)

    Anyway here's a great place to pick up a GBA Linker and flash cart as they carry all the best brands of GBA Linkers out there...

    Enjoy!

    In a letter to subscribers included with the latest issue (May) of the Official Danish PlayStation 2 Magazine, the publisher, Egmont Serieforlaget, announces that they're shutting down production of the magazine.

    Sad news for PS2 owners as there's no other option, well besides from starting an import of the UK magazine.

    POKEMON GBA VIDEO CARTRIDGES TO BE RELEASED
    April 21 2004 - 6:44 pm (CET) - Posted by Acey GAMEBOY ADVANCE
    PRESS RELEASE

    Apr 20, 2004: Entertainment consumers have long dreamed of carrying their favorite video material with them on small portable devices. DVD players made that possible-but at a cost of hundreds of dollars. On June 21, Nintendo offers the same capability to owners of the portable Game Boy Advance at a much lower price. No additional hardware purchase is required to view the Pokémon episodes that debut on Game Boy Advance Video.

    With an MSRP of $19.99 per Video pak, Nintendo's Pokémon franchise will be represented initially with episodes "Playing with Fire!" and "Johto Photo Finish" on one pak and "A Hot Water Bottle" and "For Ho-Oh The Bells Toll!" on another.

    The Pokémon franchise remains as popular as ever. In fact, Pokémon Colosseum, which launched on March 22 for Nintendo GameCube, sold 400,000 copies in its first month in the United States. And, with more than 300 episodes to its credit and now in its sixth season, the Pokémon animated television series remains one of the top-three-rated shows for boys ages 6 to 11.

    "Even by the remarkable standards of product evolution that have characterized the Game Boy franchise, this is a landmark event," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Pokémon is part of the first step in revolutionizing the nature of portable video entertainment, with eventual reach targeting all demographics."

    Pokémon, published by Nintendo, joins previously announced animation titles published by Majesco based on Nickelodeon, 4Kids Entertainment and Cartoon Network original programs. The first offerings will include top-rated shows such as SpongeBob SquarePants, The Fairly Oddparents, Dora the Explorer and Codename: Kids Next Door, as well as franchise favorites like All Grown Up! and Sonic X. Typically, two to four full episodes of an animated series will be included on each Video pak.

    Game Boy Advance Video initially allows up to 45 minutes of animation and fills the screen of the Game Boy Advance SP or Game Boy Advance with brilliant full-color video and audio.

    The innovative Game Boy Advance cartridge-sized Video paks automatically turn the millions of Game Boy Advance and Game Boy Advance SP units in the United States into portable video players. The Video pak format contains no moving parts, thus eliminating skipping or stuttering. Playback uses DVD-style controls.

    Game Boy Advance SP units are available at an MSRP of $99.99, while the Game Boy Advance sells at an MSRP of $79.99.
