If I'm wrong, then it was a while after the N64 was SI> released. Either way, N64 didn't even get a good start and SI> they had already planned an add-on!

And whenever they SI> stuff they wanted on the N64 would be cheaper, they would SI> release the add-on. I think Nintendo if very stupid. I SI> would to hear what you tink about the 64DD's start. Personnaly? I think it's dumb too, making people pay like 100 $ more, then another 80 - 90$ for the games, just to keep on touch.. And also, don't foget that the 64DD might not show up in the US (I said this while bunch of times)... Like I read, the N64 in the States is doing pretty well (2nd after PSX), while in Japan, they are 3rd! So, they NEED to Add-on in Japan, while in the States, they don't need the Add-on, it's in Second place, and apparently, it's close to PSX (which I doubt :) ). So why launch a dd-on while their machine is doing well? So that chances of this "god-like" machine coming to the US are very thin. ... nfx v2.8 [C0000] http://www.westonia.com/blueview/ --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: Juxtaposition BBS.

I don't s CB> it... l8r.. Like I explained. Nintendo has their little space system. If you look carefully, they say the have 24 megs! But they never go to the "extension of the name"... Nintendo uses a space system, that is similar to the computer space.. They use bItes (notice the capital I).. while computers use bYtes (notice the capital Y).. So tehcnically they are not liying, cause they don't say -> 24 megabYtes, they just say 24 megs! But mega what? MegabItes..

The space is also used for larger and more levels, FMV which adds to the story, and voices with files (like .WAV) instead of using up RAM.

The biggest shock was the attack of that weird giant creature. I was able to get the Sub Machine Gun with infinite ammo. How did I do that? I think RE3 will involve Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Barry Burton, Leon Kennedy, Ada Wong, Claire Redfield, and maybe more. Did you knw that you can play as those guys who search for the G-virus?
