Although there is no confirmation as to whether a Mario game will be released with the system or not, there is a high chance that there will be a Mario game released with the system. That game will probably turn out to be Super Mario 64 II, which Mr. Miyamoto (the creator of Mario, Zelda, and Donkey Kong) has already hinted at to be for a system other than the N64. Through history you can see that every system, except Game Boy, had a Mario game at its first release: Super Mario Bros. (NES), Super Mario World (SNES), Mario's Tennis (VB), and Super Mario 64 (N64). I don't think Nintendo will deviate from this trend.

I can't personally give you one, but I think video game stores (such as ToysRUs, Wal-Mart, etc.) still sell Virtual Boy systems. Mario's Tennis comes with the system, so when you buy Virtual Boy you'll have at least one game. But remember that the chance that you'll find the VB system or any VB games is very low. On the other hand, both the system and the games, if you can actually find them, will be extremely cheap.

So far as I know, Nintendo is making a color version of Metroid II and Kirby's Dream Land 2. But both games will probably be released at least six to twelve months from now. I don't know if there will be any additions to the two games. They may just come out to be like the color version of Wario Land II.

The "rumble cart" (that's the term that I use for it, it's not the official name) is just a Game Boy Color cartridge with something like the N64 rumble pak built inside. So, when you play Top Gear Pocket, the whole Game Boy Color unit will shake, just like an N64 controller shakes with a rumble pak. Top Gear Pocket and Pokémon Pinball are currently the only two GB Color games announced to use the "rumble cart", although there may be more in the future.

Good question. There is going to be a bowling game. It's called Milo's Astro Lanes and it will be released November 11th. This game, however, will not be true bowling. It's more of a comic/sci-fi bowling game. As for volleyball and boxing: I don't know. Right now, there is no mention of anything. However, these are two sports that have not been made into games for the Nintendo 64, yet. I think that, eventually, at least one N64 game will fill the genre gap.

Once again the "Truth Seeker" strikes again! What do you think, folks? Is the rumor true?

I believe IGN64.COM has a bunch of pictures from Super Mario RPG 2. Go check them out.

The next Tetris-based game? Well, in Japan it's Bio Tetris, which will be released in the summer. In North America it is Tetris Featuring Mickey Mouse (by Capcom), which will be released in the fall. Also, look for Tetris 64 (by Nintendo and Blue Planet Software), which will be released in 1999.

No truth that I can see. (This question is a joke. Right?)
