Nintendo Sneak Peek

Nintendo has released a sneak peek at its second-quarter titles.

NBA Courtside is Nintendo's stab at creating a fully 3D basketball title. The polygonal players are very detailed but still look a tad blocky. It is currently planned as an April release.

Cruis'n World is a port of the successful arcade driving game. Much like Cruis'n USA, its predecessor, players must race in a variety of real-world locales. Cruis'n World is said to currently be running at 30 frames per second and is scheduled for release in June.

The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time appears to be shaping up rather nicely, but can the series survive the 2D-3D transition? We'll all know sometime during the second quarter.

1080 Snowboarding gives the popular winter sport the Wave Race treatment, complete with different racers (each with its own stats and styles) and multiplayer capabilities. 1080 will be shipping in April.
