1998 may go down to be one of the best years for gaming ever but this was an easy choice the Legend of Zelda OoT is perhaps the greatest game of all time simply revolutionizing. It is truly legendary producer Shigeru Miyamoto's masterpiece.
Years later this would be a very fought over awarding over platformer and rpgs of the year between Sega and Rareware fans and Camelot, Atlus, Square and Fire Emblem fans.
The biggest surprise there was Shining Force III winning RPG of the year.
Excellent List of games, all platform recived nice original games in the process and were a lot of must have for both, so the results will be pretty good and well made for both platform Holders
What, the academy surprise us, Camelot must be criying of joy and other shocked, OTL they make a good effort with the game and here that will be rewared, Takahashi, Atlus , Intelligent System and other would be withour words, simple this one was the revelation of the show.
Wow, the burn will be epic, both side console fanboys will never being the same here, hope thing will not goes awry in the proto forum
.Honor to who honor deserved, Zelda as OTL and the new one were nice, among the surpise. this post surpise me buddy, the next one will be amazing.
Shenmue
At E3 1997 Sega unveiled Shenmue a grand role playing open world game based off of virtua fighter.The game will release on the Neptune fall of 1999
Development began in 1996 and according to Sega reps will be one of the if not the longest games in history with a fully open world city and the game would have dynamic outcomes all throughout the game.
Most interesting was Sega's announcement it was part 1 of 12 planned games in the series.
The game will feature cinematic cut scenes and will feature the combat system from virtua fighter but now one can fight multiple enemies at once.
The first game would start in Japan and end with the beginning of he trip to Hong Kong.
Another interesting feature announced was the games save files would be able to be imported between each sequel carrying over items and money collected in the previous game.
Other features include random weather generation and the ability to literally explore everything in a town or city etc.
Suzuki's AM2 has been drastically expanding over the last year, so we now know why.
Also of interest Sega has hired playwrights and movie directors to work on the plot.

Oh Shenmue how I miss thee.....
Nice to know that in this World it wont be discontinued.
I hated that Sega and the Dreamcast failed.
Only bought the PS2 when stuff on DC stopped being published.
Loved my Dreamcast!

The End of Eras
The Demise of Capcom and Konami
The Demise of Capcom and Konami
The seeds of demise were set in Capcom when management decided it would be a great idea to start interfering with the development process.
This was the first step on the path but not the fatal one. The first fatal wound was Capcom's decision to go into the movie business and to base more games off of a film like development
First the Street Fighter movie launched to little fanfare and was a complete disaster costing the company millions and the stock price to tumble.
However they already had commissioned another movie, the Resident Evil movie. This was the breaking point for Capcom. They decided to put everything into the movie and when it bombed hard Capcom went under in the summer of 2001 right before the next generation started.
Capcom was divided up mainly by Nintendo and Microware.
Talent
Kamiya: HAL Labrotory (Nintendo)
Inaufune: Microware Japan
Mikami: Nintendo
Inaba: Microware
Ono: Nintendo
IPs
Megaman: Nintendo
Resident Evil: Nintendo
Street Fighter: Nintendo
Demon Crest: Microware
Ghosts m' Goblins: Microware
Prototype Monster Hunter: Microware
Prototype Dead Rising: Microware
Arcade business: Nintendo
Movie Studio: No Bidders

Rise of the Nintendo Media Empire
1999 was a interesting year for Nintendo in a different market, the film industry.
Nintendo buying Pixar was a shocking move to many but behind the scenes was not overly surprising. Behind the scenes, tensions flared between Pixar and Disney and since this was the last game in their contract with Disney they started looking for a new patron. At the same time Nintendo Co. Limited CEO Minoru Arawaka decided to go into the movie since the Bandai merger a few years prior Nintendo has had a studio and has reportedly been substantially hiring from OLM Inc for a Pokemon series.
At the same time Nintendo would acquire 4Kids Entertainment and the Jim Henson company.
In January 2000 NintendoTV launched replacing the 4Kids network
Right after Toy Story 2 released in December of 1999 Nintendo announced they had acquired Pixar shocking many people.
Nintendo Films Production Releases From 1999-2003:
-The Pokemon Movie Mew vs Mewtwo: 1999
-Muppet's from Space: 1999
-The Pokemon Movie 2000
-Monsters Inc. 2001
-The Pokemon Movie 3: 2001
-Mobile Suit Gundam: 2001
-The Legend of Zelda by Pixar: 2002
-Pokemon 4Ever
-Finding Nemo: 2003
-The Muppets: 2003
Nintendo's movie business would prove extremely profitable and also reached critical acclaim especially after the Pokemon movies had a much deeper plot than originally thought including sub plots about morality and deeper philosophical questions and the Pixar movies always had great reviews from the critics and made a handsome profit.
TV Series on NintendoTV Directly From Nintendo:
-Pokemon The Series
-The New Muppets show
-Fraggle Rock (reboot)
-Kirby Right Back at Ya
-Super Mario Adventure Bros
-Gundam Anime
-Metroid the Animated Series
-Star Fox Adventures
-Donkey Kong Country The Series
Since Sega had its tv shows on 4Kids which no longer existed they turned to Cartoon Network for Sonic-X and other original programming that was in the works.
At nighttime NintenodTV became adult swim and would feature certain Japanese anime and original adult oriented cartoons inspired by King of the Hill and the Simpsons, Family Guy and American Dad would launch in 2000 at the 9 and 9:30 slots on NintendoTV which at 9:00 became "Adult Swim" to differentiate itself between the kid friendly day time programming.
The network turned out to be extremely profitable and was also used by Nintendo to push their marketing for their multitude of products.
PS: If your reading this TL please comment I love requests and comments

Ah the Multimedia, before the era of Nintendoom black autoturfing there was a lot of rumors if nitnendo wanted to enter into movies and cartoon again during the end of millenuim, those were nice rumos, specially after the sucess of pokemon anime and movies and later kirby cartoon, but never come.
Here having Bandai(plus Sunrise anime studio and gundam), plus other interest in the west, the whole thing was pretty amazing, specially the adquisiton of strategical patnet(4KIDS FOR tranalstion plus pixar for movies) and pretty nice foucs having channel for their all public series and older audiences.
Nice gamble from Nintendo, at least wans't that bad as Square OTL or Capcom ITTL, ISN'T IT?

Thanks for posting
2003 Nintendo Of America Headquarters
As Arawaka was reading the financial papers and sitting his desk he thought about the last few years and how fast Nintendo had become a multi-media empire.In 2001, Steve Jobs who was formerly in charge of Pixar and Apple was now a major creative force in Nintendo came up with the idea of a iPod which was re branded as part of the new gameboy. The Gameboy Nitro was not just a game system but also a mp3 player and would be able to play videos off of a cartridge.
So far the system was a huge success selling out in all markets with the extra features and with nTunes launching at the same time Nintendo has just entered the digital music industry and was quickly raking in more cash in addition to the Nintendo TV Channel which was quickly turning into a gold mine.
With the recent Pixar films also being turned into video game series bucking the trend of crappy movie based games as well
It truly seemed the Dolphin would dominate the industry.....
What, i hate this, what a jump into future and teaser, seems the last update make a nice impact in long term.
The Dolphin, the gamecube was unable to be, that one have a lot of potential here, and the teaser was brutally big.
And what other have done, nice teaser, was pretty onspot but please more soon
November 7th 2001: SNK Launches First
The SNK Millenium launched today to great fanfare and reception selling out its first shipment quite quickly
SNK Millenium Info:
-Price $299
-Pack In Game Crash Bandicoot
-Comes with Two Controllers with a d-pad and analog
-Optical Disk Drive
-Launches with SNK Classics and New IPs
Launch Games:
-Cash Bandicoot
-King of Fighters 2001: New Millennium of Fighters
-SNK Vs Capcom
-Metal Slug XI: Reloaded
-D
-Insanity Asylum
-Killzone
-The Last Blade Duology
-Samurai Showdown V
-Fatal Fury Trilogy Edition
-Guilty Gear
In particular the system and its arcade counterpart launched extremely strong in Japan and Europe and did mildly well in America as well. In particular it sold strongly in America with Crash and Killzone being seen as new innovative takes on their respective genres.
Next weeks Microware Console will launch
While the system does have a solid platformer the real gems are Kenji Eno's team masterpieces D and the new psychological thriller horror game Insanity Asylum. None of the other consoles have any games similar to this game the dynamics in the game of entering the human mind and dealing with its darkest reaches is fascinating yet terrifying concept.
And obviously the system dominates the fighting genre as well as new versions of old classics like Metal Slug and Samurai Showdown
