APRIL 2003

April 12th 2003:

The scans of the first 64 cards of Animal Crossing-e Series 3 have been added to the e-Card Catalog. Expect the scans of the remaining 30 e-Cards to be added next week.
Still on the subject of AC-e Series 3, the "send item" data has been added to the checklist of that series, as well as the catalog. Very special thanks go to Jeremy Williams (a.k.a. nnumber6 on the IGN forum) for collecting this data.
I also added scans and updated the information in the e-Card Catalog for the Suicune (53) promotional Pokémon e-Card (PN 00488).
It may interest you to know that, on April 26th, you will be able to get a promotional Suicune (53) e-Card at participating Hastings stores. You can read the official announcement (including the list of participating stores) by following this link.
A new site devoted to the e-Reader, named "Channel 61-e" has been added to the Links section.
If you want to know what the packaging looks like for NES-e Series 3, follow this link to a recent Pocket IGN article.
Nintendo's official e-Reader site has been updated with some teaser info on the new series of Pokémon-e cards which will be released after Pokémon-e Skyridge. Confirmed for a June 2003 release, this new series will be called Pokémon-e TGC EX: Ruby & Sapphire.
I added a warning at the top of the Pokémon-e checklists in the Checklists section, to remind people that only the cards with e-Reader data strips are listed in those checklists.
The news items for March 2003 have been moved to the News Archive section.

April 19th 2003:

As promised last week, the remaining scans of the Animal Crossing-e Series 3 e-Cards have been added to the e-Card Catalog.
I've never really been an advocate of using the e-Reader as a Game Cube peripheral, but I've been juggling with an idea for a Game Cube game for several months now, and I thought I'd share it with the rest of you in the form of a new entry in Pixelboy's Diary. I hope you like it! :-)
The newly announced Pokémon-e TGC EX: Ruby & Sapphire series has been added to the Future Releases section.

Just wanted to remind everyone that the NES Game Design Contest will end in a short week, on April 30th, at midnight! If you've already started working on your contest entry, better hurry up, because there will be no time extention! Once the month of April ends, so does the contest! :-)
