Yeah it's late tonight, Whopdiee. I have a life [dean]  So here's the QA, its not the greatest this week but its not our fault, its yours. So if you want your question answered, just email them to us here.

Question:
Do the Q&A questions suck this week?

Brent

Answer:
Brenden: Hey, Brent Childers our EIC sent us a question.

Brenden: Should we answer it?

Dean: I don't know, I guess since this is the Q&A, we kind of have to.

Dean: So lets look it over... *browses draft*

Dean: Yup, seems so.. Our readers need to learn how to send in good questions, Pete must have faked these QA's back when he did them.

Question:
Hey There N-siders.. I wanted to ask, When Will you start reviewing games? Or GameCube games to be exact And Does N-sider have any connection with Fran Mirabella from IGN Cube? If You guys do know him, tell him to bring back his old haircut, it = makes hime look likw a Psycho...

Amit

Answer:
Brenden: Fran is our Owner/Director. Hes the wonderful guy that founded N-Sider.

Dean: But it's his evil (or is it good? I can't remember which one we got) twin that works at IGN.

Brenden: Lucky us eh?

Dean: As for game reviews, rest assured the day the gamecube is launched we will start playing the games, and reviewing them. We'll have our standard 3-man team doing reviews for all major launch games.

Question:
What about Too Human? Is it still in development or has it been canceled? I was so looking forward to playing that game.

Monkeysmash

Answer:
Brenden: Too Human's still in development, but it's safe to assume we wont be seeing much of it for the next little while as Eternal Darkness was pushed back.

Question:
Where did you meet Miyamoto-San?

Shaw52

Answer:
Dean: This one is for me I suppose.

Brenden: I would assume so, you're the lucky bastard that met him.

Dean: I met him when I was on shore-leave in the dutch-east indies... Thats where I got the cl-- wait a second.

Dean: It was at E3, the Day 1 media breakfast. He sat down across from us, and I yelled out 'ITS SHIGGY!'. I quickly went over to get a pic and about 30 other gamers followed suit... not many people got their picture taken with that gaming god.

Dean: I even got pictures of Howard Lincoln and Mr. Arikawa...

Dean: And Peter Main.

Brenden: Ok ok, quit braggin.

Question:
Hey, I wanted to know if you need to get a new RF Switch/RF Modulator for the gamecube or if you could use the one used for the N64. Since you haven't been able to do that in the past I would think that you can't but, I have heard mixed answers.

Gibbs

Answer:
Dean: I believe they are the same, again, for backward-compatability.

Question:
Is the control pressure sensitive?

Rodrigo

Answer:
Dean: Are monkies flying out of my butt?

Brenden: Hopefully not, the last time it happened was really scary.

Dean: Only the L and R buttons are pressure sensitive.

Question:
Have you guys herd anything on Killer Instinct or Castlevania for the gamecube?

Clue1882

Answer:
Brenden: I haven't heard anything about Killer Instinct, but there have been rumblings about a Castlevania game in the works.

Question:
Any chance of doom 2 coming out on GBA? Cya round.

Drunk Caterpillar

Answer:
Brenden: Hey, Dean! Check it out, it's Alex asking a dumb question.

Dean: Alex. You're a freak. I'm not answering this question. Don't think that because we met this summer I'm going to answer it. I refuse to answer it. Its so lame and stupid... Just like Alex.

Question:
Well, the GameCube launch was low key in Japan (read: tanked). I was wondering how the little cube is doing over there now, did the initial shipment sell out already? Why so little games over there? Looking at the list of games, I wouldn't have bought a cube over there either. Japan is usually a good indicator on how a console is going to do in the long run, doncha think?

Saul Santiago

Answer:
Dean: The GCN didnt 'tank' in Japan per-se, it just sold how nintendo expected. Nintendo didn't hype the machine like some other company we all know...

Dean: I believe its selling steadily how it should be, It seems as if Nintendo's focus this generation is heavily on the North American Market.

Brenden: Yeah, it should be remembered that Nintendo doesn't have the same market appeal here, in North America, that it does in Japan.

Question:
Do you think that Golden Sun for GBA is a game worth getting?

Rafael Lopez

Answer:
Dean: Yes.

Brenden: If youre a big RPG fan, I definitely recommend it. Expect a review from N-Sider in the near future.

Question:
Hello,

What do you people think of the new Zelda game for the gamecube? I personally think it looks funny, in a good way.

Eric

Answer:
Dean: Zelda, however it will turn out, will be revolutionary. I absolutely love the cel-shaded look. All they have to do is change Link's model and i'll be a happy man.

Brenden: Same here, if they change Link's goofy face, I'll be very pleased. Either way, its going to be great.

Question:
Which do you prefer, Sega's NFL 2k series or EA's Madden series? Just wondering which to get. thanx!

Skyler Cornish

Answer:
Dean: Sega sports are always better, in my opinion, because I feel Sega is more dedicated. Sega = quality (sound familiar?) while EA, is broad, and just meh. I would reccomend Sega Sports, but the real test is rent them both, and see which you like better.

Brenden: Dude, Im not going to put meh into the Q&A.

Dean: Yes, you are.

Brenden: Aye aye!

Dean: Good boy.

Question:
This Cas Ra game for Gamecube by Konami, any chace it's a new

castlevania game? I heard something about it on another website and was

wondering if you knew anything about it. Thanks, keep up the excellent

work!!


Sergio Correia

Answer:
Brenden: Thanks for the compliments.

Brenden: The Cas Ra game is being developed by Capcom, not Konami... so I highly doubt it would be a Castlevania game.

Dean: Compliments? there was only one there dumbass.

Dean: Don't make me bring out the penguin.

Dean: Hh crap his box is empty.

Brenden: NO!!!

*silence*

Dean: Good penguin.

Question:
Hey, I was just wondering why the "Gallery" menu at the top doesn't seem to work. I wanted to see some nice Nintendo fan art, but there was none to be found there.

Keep up the good work.

Lucas

Answer:
Brenden: Dean, that's your field of expertise... things not getting done.

Dean: Well, maybe it doesnt like you... did you try to touch it in its bathing suit area?

Dean: The gallery is very touchy about stuff like that.

Dean: He'll be up when he's ready to Its almost like Galleria-Viagra, takes a while to kick in

Dean: Not that I'd know about that, of course

Brenden: No Of course not

Question:
do u guys sell hubcaps for a '72 pinto hatchback?

Zgemar1660

Answer:
Dean: Brenden is N-Sider's baglady. I'm sure he's got something in his magical bag of mystery.

Brenden: Hey!

Brenden: I'm the bagman, thank you very much.

Dean: Whatever. Did you find one?

Brenden: *rummaging sounds*

Brenden: Yep, here we go, a hubcap for a '72 Pinto. Ill send it as soon as I can.
