They had Blades of Steel 2 years ago, but don't hold your breath. They make the games for the systems that actually sell

The N64 is on it's way out and is also not really cost effective to develop for like the PC, PSX, PS2, X Box and Game Cube.

When I get any hockey game, I blow right through it every single time on All Star or the highest level. I mean, I smoke teams like 8 or 10 to 0. NHL2001 for the PS2, first game I played I got smoked 6-0. After about 10 games or so I finally got around to playing with the computer. Definately the hardest Hockey game I've played and that's saying a lot especially when my girlfriend comes in the room and says "YOU'RE LOSING!?!?!?!"

The N64 is dying and I guess that they want to start making games for the Gamecube.

I always liked cartridges... it sounds weird, but they had character... now games just come on the same shiny discs that your music, films and software comes on I always loved the way you could feel the extra weight in a "big" cartridge like Zelda, and I always liked that reassuring "clunk" when you slotted it into the console. Ah, the nostalgia... Plus you can chuck dozens of cartridges in a drawer all jumbled up without worrying about them getting scratched to heck or anything like that. So long, videogame cartridges, I'll miss you

NHL 2001 for PS2 is FREAKIN RIGGED.
I went 7-0 on allstar versus 6 hard teams and 1 easy. Then i lost 5 in a row to really easy teams. Like any NHL game on PSX/PS2 system or even the maddens used to get harder too... They rig it so if you win too much they turn up the heat.. I dunno i was like screw this who wants to play KNOWING they will lose!
