2003: Going Online!
In case you’re wondering about if SEGA was unable to compete with MS in the tech race...studio interest too, well, the Dreamcast doesn’t use DVDs, so, yeah...That’s what happened...I think…
Oh! Now, where were we? Nintendo going online! Sorry to keep you waiting. The comments are all about what happened at the Sony and Microsoft page. Which explains a lot.
Nintendo dips their toe in the world of the internet with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for the Nintendo Vortex, released last year with Sega’s port of Phantasy Star Online, but really kicking into gear with an updated Nintendo Vortex model with a built-in modem and the latest Mario Kart title, Mario Kart Live, focusing on racing against players from all around the world, and Nintendo hosts special tournaments in-game every now and then after launch.
Overall, besides that, most of this year just consists of exciting new Nintendo Vortex and Super Game Boy releases, including sequels to Nintendo 64 titles like Conker and Kirby, and the first Nintendo-published original console Sonic game, Sonic Heroes. Third-party titles like Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City bring the lineup to even newer heights, and the battle with the PS2 becomes more and more intense!
Also, stay tuned for the games of 2003 and more!

That is not reason, regardless SEGA would pull a SEGA,a dreamcast playing DVD but their game on other disc, but well they're out regardless
Something in other console? how is smash? that seems will be the wi-fi connection spearhead game

Are the Game Boy Color and Super Game Boy still one generation earlier like on Life is Actually 50% Fair? Because I wonder what’s going to happen to the Nintendo DS.
If DS happen People would not feel as burned, i got a GBA in 2002 and bang ds in 2004... Still DS like OTL(maybe some extra horsepower with a more Advance ARM and ram) could still mop the floor of PSP very handily
Information of 2003's Nintendo Games
Hey everyone! Let’s talk about some games released in 2003!
Here’s the story.: Bowser and the crew (along with Bowser Jr.) are off to the Regal Kingdom, where they meet Bowsette (a mysterious and adventurous dragon girl from the Dragon Empire). There have been rumors that someone has hijacked the Regal Kingdom, so it’s up to Bowser and the others to solve the mystery (also find the rest of the royal crew)!
Here we have the royal crew!:
Funnily enough, it’s the same game as Kirby Air Rider on the Gamecube from OTL, just with a few butterflies, BTW.
There’s even a voice cast for this game. The original Japanese version has well-known tokusatsu actors, while the English version has well-known anime voice actors. It’s really impressive!
Now, here we have the character roster.:
Mushroom Cup:
All the battle stages are the same as OTL. But with the addition of Wario’s Castle (The interior of Wario’s Castle (in its Wario Land 2 incarnation)) and The North Bowl (An ice-themed battle course set in one of the ice levels from the BowserQuest series).
Now, as you can see, it’s really similar to Ocarina of Time, and the story is like the story of The Legend of Zelda: Temple of Time from the Player Two Start AU, except instead of a Temple of Time, there’s a Temple of Elements. So yeah, that’s what it’s like.
There have been many stages (including Emerald Coast from Sonic Adventure), many items (like the Smash Balls (which contains a Final Smash for every character) and Assist Capsules (which work like OTL’s Assist Trophies)), trophies (lots of them), and new modes. Yeah, that was a lot for this game. People say it’s the best one, and that is all.
Also, when 2004 comes, there’ll be a new touch of life!

This is one of the biggest games of the BowserQuest series! Bowser has returned! And this time, he’s on his biggest adventure yet!

Mach Rider Tiga (Nintendo Vortex)
Mach Rider Tiga is a sequel to Mach Rider on the ANAVS. Simply put, it’s like the classic Mach Rider, but with a tokusatsu twist! Mach Rider is now a Kamen Rider-esque character ready for action! Every stage is like an episode of a tokusatsu show, and every boss of a stage is like a “Monster-of-the-Week” monster fought in an episode, and other tokusatsu stuff are included. As you can see, there are two Mach Riders, one male and one female. The male Mach Rider is a lot more powerful, but the female Mach Rider is a lot more quicker. There is also a villain group, led by the nefarious Roadmeister. He’s got troopers on his side like the rough-and-ready rogue warrior known as Chromald, the sassy wasp girl known as Vespa Stingard, the alien scientist known as Quasar, and many foot soldiers that riding on vehicles known as Quadrunners (as in the original Mach Rider).There’s even a voice cast for this game. The original Japanese version has well-known tokusatsu actors, while the English version has well-known anime voice actors. It’s really impressive!
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (Super Game Boy)
Just the same as OTL’s Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, but with some butterflies, BTW. One of them’s that this game’s Boomerang Bros. are renamed to “Beanerang Bros.”, just like in the 3DS remake. Other than that, it’s AlphaDream’s new title that takes inspiration from their first game, Tomato Adventure.Mario Kart Live (Nintendo Vortex)
Mario Kart Live (known as Mario Kart: Double Dash!! IOTL) is the sequel to Mario Kart Rendered and the fifth game in the Mario Kart series. The game features two driving modes, Single-Kart mode where it plays like the previous Mario Kart titles, and Double-Dash mode where it has similar gameplay to OTL's Double Dash, with one player able to control two characters riding the same kart, one of them driving while the other holds the player's secondary weapon.

The Legend of Zelda: Temple of Elements (Nintendo Vortex)
This is originally going to be The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, but due to the overwhelmingly negative reception it got in E3 2001, it got retooled into something completely different, with an artstyle resembling the Spaceworld 2000 demo which features a Legend of Zelda game. (However, the artstyle for The Wind Waker does stay in a few portable LoZ games (starting with Four Swords).)Now, as you can see, it’s really similar to Ocarina of Time, and the story is like the story of The Legend of Zelda: Temple of Time from the Player Two Start AU, except instead of a Temple of Time, there’s a Temple of Elements. So yeah, that’s what it’s like.

Also, when 2004 comes, there’ll be a new touch of life!

I’m triggered you wiped Wind Waker from existence... :’-(
Ok, fine! I'll change it, but you have to be so angry about it.
Sorry about that, but I'll bring it back when I get to 2013.
I tend to get passionate my own project and ideas and that one both Ry and I took great effort and we appreciated it because that, that is why don't do that, and there a lot of others ideas come from other authors too, so please don't do that.
Take your Pick, think what they could do, maybe a more traditional Zelda like TP or something keeping the sailing theme but more in line with OOT-MM
I knew that Team Hooligans was included in your version of Sonic Heroes. So I was wondering why Our Timeline's Sonic Heroes did not feature Team Hooligans at all... and I was asking "Where are Fang/Nack, Bean, Bark?!" but hell yeah, The Alternate me would been happy. 
Ok. I'll do so when the time's right.

Update on The Legend of Zelda: Temple of Elements (Nintendo Vortex)
You know, let me fix something about The Legend of Zelda: Temple of Elements (Nintendo Vortex).
Due to what just happened, I decided that I'll just change it up a lot!
I'll change it into something that keeps the sailing theme but more in line with OOT-MM! That should work!
But as for the story? Well, I haven't thought of one, so I bet it'll be up to you to decide.
