Dolphin Sunk

Dear Future Gamer

Holy crap! An N64 review and four games on the release list, and those coloured N64s (cough... iMac... cough) are turning up in the 11 o' clock Show and Veronica's Closet - could Nintendo finally be getting their act together? No, the Dolphin is delayed until next year.

How are N64 owners meant to wait until next year for a new console, especially with PlayStation2 coming this year, luring me away from my N64? Nintendo make such good games; if only they could bring their handheld range of games to their consoles. As far as I know, the N64 was and is a big success in the US. Is that the reason for the delay? Or are Nintendo just trying to buy time to release more than four games at Dolphin's release?

FG: Quite why Dolphin is delayed only Nintendo really know. N64 owners don't have to wait for a new console though -Dreamcast's out there and PlayStation2's coming. Nintendo aren't the only console company in the world and they aren't the only ones making great games either.
