Nintendo seems to be doing pretty good for itself lately. I wonder if the system will be a success? I am going to play Star Fox for sure, that was one of my favorite non-RPG's for the SNES.

Do you know if any major developers are making games for the X-box? It's system specs are great and I hear it's easy to make games for but the problem is that I haven't seen any good games for it yet.

At the risk of sounding ignorant, what is SNK 2? I may know whatever it is unabbreviated(spelling?).

I have seen some bits of info on FFX and it looks promising so far. if it is made by the same team as FFVIII then i'm sure they have learned from their mistakes.

Also i'd advise any Age of Empires Fan to check out Age of Mythology made by Ensemble Studios. I have just looked over a full-preview of it and am very impressed. Each culture (three in total) have a different set of gods that they worship and different bonuses because of it. You can build regular units like in AOk but you also can get mythology units. You can build a temple to any one of three gods of your culture and worship them, the more you worship, the more mythology related bonuses you get. THe three cultures you can play as are Greek, Egyptian, and Norse. The Greeks god are Zeus, Posidion, and Hades. The only Egyptian god I can remember now is Ra. The Norse gods are Odin, Thor, and Loki. Each culture worships in different ways, greeks by sending villagers to the temples to pray, egyptians by building structures, and norse by killing enemies in battle. Some of the bonuses include getting command of Medusas, Minotaurs, Anubis warriors (if you have watched "The Mummy Returns" you know what i'm talking about), Ice Giants, Valkiries...ect. This is a must by for any mythology fans.

Don't worry i'm not going to ridicule you for missing the Konami booth (although it's tempting), but what were you planning on looking at there. Silent Hill 2? I wonder when we can expect the next Breath of Fire V?

It seems the only thing the Sega booth didn't have were snipers ready to shoot people as they try and get in? If you ask me Sega should focus on making RPG's. Was Fantasy Star developed by them or did they just publish it?
