ULTRA 64 NEWS: Editors met
with Nintendo of America's
faceman Howard Lincoln and
were treated to lots of free food
and mysterious talk about
Nintendo's plan for the future.
Lincoln confirmed that Ultra 64
is definitely set for fall '95 release
with the promisecl $250 price
point. He also casually men-
tioned that the Ultra 64 is ...
"more powerful than five 486
computers networked."
To produce a computer as pow-
erful as the Ultra 64 ten years ago,
it would have cost 14 million dol-
lars. Though Ultra 64 is cart-
based, there is a planned CD at-
tachment.
"Killer Instinct" and "Cruisin'
USA" will be available at launch
and there is a planned pack-in but
it has not been announced. Lin-
coln said that "Killer Instinct" for
Ultra 64 will be " ... better than the
arcade version." ( end)
