ITTL, the Cards played temporarily in Tempe from '88 to '91.

The Circle K Dome is one of the last multipurpose facilities to be built at a time when football or baseball specific venues were right around the corner. The venue was designed by Hirsohi Hara, who later designed the Sapporo Dome, which opened in 2001.

Here's the Sapporo Dome below. Circle K has a similar setup for that time of year when the Cardinals and Diamondbacks overlap.

I put Circle K in Downtown Phoenix on the OTL Chase Field site because I wasn't sure if Glendale was convenient enough for those living in Phoenix proper or Tempe.

Oldnavy will Marco Guerrero exist in american magic 2.). In case you forgot who Marco Guerrero is he was the ficitnal animaitor who created the totems in 1.0. I know that decide not to use totmes again because dcided the totmes was a bit deritived. However the name Marco Guerrero could be used for for another oringal cartoon project if you or i think of one.

We'll great! To @OldNavy1988, Hollywood Pictures is linking up to Dream Quest Images, while Touchstone had already linked up with Pixar, and Walt Disney Pictures will link up to Blue Sky Studios. But UPN will premiere Paramount's Raising Dad on October 5, 2001, and UPN would also premiere 24, a new Universal production on October 30, 2001 (TTL's 24 staff featured was Michele Fazekas, Tara Butters, Marilyn Osborn, Amanda Green and Kathy Ebel, all of which were OTL team members on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit). BTW, Collateral Damage was released on time on October 5, 2001 by Universal Pictures (OTL Warner Bros. made the film), due to the butterfly of 9/11, and the plane scene with Sofia Vergara was kept in the film.

Alright, here is wave 2 of the Sixth generation Consoles: The Atari Cosmos (handheld) and The Atari Phantom (home)


1648244665680.jpeg

Atari Cosmos
CPU: 1 PowerPC 401 produced by IBM clocked at 25 MHz.
GPU: 16-bit custom CMOS codenamed Stardust.
Soundchip: 1 SHARC developed by Analog Devices.
Media Format: Multimedia Cards capable of holding 24 MB of data.
Memory: 128 KB of unified RAM. 32 dedicated to internal menus, 48 dedicated to sound quality, and 48 dedicated to games asset rendering.
Release Date: May 8th, 2001 in North America, December 19th, 2001 in Europe and Australia, and April 29th, 2002 in Japan.
Launch Titles:
Atlantis: Forging the Crystal.
Publisher: Disney Interactive Studios. Developer: Shinespark Games.
If you haven’t caught the reference to the developer, this new studio is helmed up by Metroid co-creator Yoshio Sakamoto. As such, this tie-in to Atlantis the movie puts you in the role of Kida’s ancestor Kashekeim the timid as he tries to find a way to ward off the wrath of the tribes of Gibraltar and Agenea.
Zero: Squirrel of Shinobi.
Publisher: Disney Interactive Studios. Developer: Cirque Du Toon.
A 2d platformer spinoff of Aero the Acrobat, this game sees the disgraced member of the Acorn (no relation to the Acorn Kingdom of Sonic SATAM) serve as a glorified leg breaker for Mr. Edgar Ektor.
Micky, Donald, & Goofy: All for One and One for All
Publisher: Disney Interactive Studios. Developer: Guerrilla Games.
I was going to find a way to bring Guerilla (creator of Medevil, Killzone, and most recently; Horizon Zero Dawn) beyond just what they did for Hasbro. As such, the Mickey Three Musketers project gets made into a game. No real changes from the plot aside fro the ending, where Max and PJ from Goof Troop beginning training under the current musketers.
Star Wars: A Solo Beginning. *-
Publisher: Lucasarts. Developer: Lucasarts.
The only rail shooter within the launch lineup, a solo beginning sees Han Solo during his time srving under Moff Tarkin, his walkout from the Imperial Space Corps, how he meets Chewbacka, and in the final level; the kessel run.
The Tower of Druaga: Ki’s Quest * (Also released for the Sega Exodus, Nintendo Game Boy Pro, and Panasonic Epsilon).
Publisher: Namco. Developer: Inti Creates.
1648244665821.jpeg

Atari Phantom
Codenamed: Project Clocktower
CPU:1 PowerPC 7400 clocked at 400 MHz for Clocktower Games and 1 PowerPC 604e produced by IBM clocked at 100 MHz for Panther Mode.
GPU: 1 AM486 DX4-120 clocked at 150 MHz and AM486 DX2-80 produced by AMD clocked at 75 MHz for Panther Mode.
Soundchip: 1 Dolby Digital Surround EX Chip developed by Dolby and Skywalker Sound.
Media Format: Super GD-Rom developed by Yamaha, capable of holding 3 Gigabytes of data for single layer and 6 Gigabytes for dual layers disc.
Memory: 64 MB of DDR SDRAM. 32 is used to rendering assets, 8 is used for Video, 4 for Audio, 16 for Online Services and 10 for the menu operating system.
Controller Ports: 4 per console. Ports can be expanded to eight with the use of a multitap. The controller itself is an oval shaped controller with two analog sticks in the center bottom, on the right are four face buttons marked Cross, Square, Triangle, Circle. On the top are two triggers marked Pentagon and Octagon along with a slot for its memory card. At the top center is a menu button, start button, and the Atari Logo. On the left end is a d-pad.
Online Capabilities: Each unit is built with a dual connection modem for both 56K Dialup and 128K Broadband for online capabilities. This is used for online gaming, downloading newsletters from Disney Adventures.
Storage: 1 10 GB Hard Drive built into the console for game saves, dlc storage, system updates, and game file storage.
Release Date: November 9th, 2001 in North America, January 30th, 2002 in Europe, and June 19th, 2002 in Japan.
Launch Titles:
Halo: Combat Evolved * (Also Released to Commodore and PC).
Publisher: Commodore Games. Developer: Bungie.
Same as otl, but we won’t be seeing Halo 2 until 2007 due to Commodore’s insistence on adding multiplayer maps and two separate mini campaigns starring Sgt. Jackson and the Fall of Reach.
Disney: SpeedStorm
Publisher: Disney Interactive Studios. Developer: Criterion
And so enters Disney’s answer to Speedsorm. Unlike Mario Kart, which focusses on a balanced track layout and item skills Speedstorm is more about overtaking racers in straightaways and an expanded roster of 64 characters at its launch.
Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego
Publisher: Disney Interactive Studios. Developer: Whoopee Camp.
This game tries to recreate the as much of the Boruderband original PC games, but expands the games by now carrying out the missions to arrest the various members of Carmen’s gang along with other criminals on ACME’s most wanted list.
Power Rangers: Take Flight * (Also Coming to the Sega Monolith and Panasonic Rubicon)
Publisher: Bandai. Developer: CyberConnect2.
Same as the other versions.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 * (Also Coming to the Sega Monolith, Panasonic Rubicon, and Nintendo Gamecube).
Publisher: Activision Acclaim Studios. Developer: Shaba Games.
If you’re wondering the alterations both for the publisher and developer of THPS3, here’s what happened. (1) Activision bought out Acclaim in late 2000 and decided to shift Neversoft over to create a game based off Valiant property X-O Manowar. As for Shaba Games, they were already on the map due to their THPS clone Grind Session releasing for the fifth generation consoles and as per the Activision sink or swim mentality, this is either going to be their last project before being shut down or the next franchise to be handled as it goes along.
Planet Kate
Publisher: Disney Interactive Studios. Developer: Cirque Du Toon.
In an attempt to push as many of their pitched cartoons into reality, Jamie Mitchell’ Planet Kate gets greenlit as a game rather than a full series. The game sees Kate and the Canines of Centauri Alpha explore what they believe is their terrain of origin.
Marvel Vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes.
Publisher: Fox Interactive. Developer: Capcom.
Same as otl.

Final wave for this year is the Sega Monolith. If you're wondierng why the Nintendo Gamecube is not launching this year, there are a handful of supply shortages on the part of Intel (who's making the CPU) and JVC (who are making the disc drives and game format for the system).​

    Entertainment News for Mid-September 2001

    The MCI Center reopens just in time for Capitals preseason games.
    - The Washington Post

    UPN launches an Americanized version of Doctor Who to an overwhelmingly negative reception from diehard fans of the British series. Scott Bakula, who plays the title role in the American version, declined to comment on the backlash. Neither Paramount nor the BBC were available for comment.
    - Entertainment Tonight

    After her video shoot, Aaliyah returns from the Bahamas to New York to record a new album.
    - MTV News

    Gloria Foster, who played the Oracle in The Matrix, has passed away at age 67.
    - Variety

    NBC's Ripping Friends is already the lowest rated Saturday Morning series since Josie and the Pussycats World Tour.
    - The New York Times

    Scott Shaw: "Universal's botched dub of Dog of Flanders twenty years ago can really be attributed to Walter Lantz simply not knowing what the hell he was doing. Plus, he had no understanding of why Fox was doing so well with their early dubs, culminating of course, in Urusei Yatsura in '83."

    1: Not bad.
    2: Well, it was bound to happen that UPN would have something to do with Doctor Who. I'm just surprised it took this long, only for it to get such a lousy reaction.
    3: Good.
    4: We all have to go sometime. That's all I'll say there.
    5: Ouch. I know it was going to stink worse than a patch of crabgrass, but lowest rated since Josie and the Pussycats World Tour? That is just mean.
    6: I take it that Universal's more recent attempts in anime dubbing will actually succeed?

    Licensing issues held up the American Dr. Who. Plus, there are still persistent rumors of Paramount exec Sumner Redstone buying and paying for House of Lords and House of Commons members who support privatizing the BBC.

    To be fair, World Tour suffered from being sabotaged by a frustrated and repressed artist who was assigned to the series. World Tour was drawn in the same style as Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures by showrunner Victor Guerrero. Guerrero went against the wishes of creator Dan DeCarlo, simply because he couldn't resist giving Valerie an "Oakland booty." And there was one episode of Josie drawn with a whale tail rising above her jeans (digitally airbrushed on home video releases) while sitting down to a burger at a diner. Victor is the uncle of Marco Guerrero, who created the Totems series in the original American Magic thread. Of course, none of this reached print because the news outlets were more focused on what Ted Bundy was up to in the Persian Gulf.

    So far, Universal has started to bounce back with Cardcaptors. From 1981 till 2000, many of the Nippon Animation artists who worked on Dog of Flanders cursed the company's name with seething rage after they learned of the ratchet job that took place in America. Walter Lantz and other Universal officials at the time were deemed bakayarou (idiots).

    On the other hand, some of the Urusei Yatsura animators managed to get a hold of novelty alarm clocks that play the Fox fanfare to wake them up.

    So I take Marco Gurreno will exist in even though totems won't. Got any ideas for pojects for him to helm oldnavy. He dose something with anthro characters do think may be willing to recyle some of the totem character wiith out the living stuff aniaml angle.

    I see. Very good reasons to delay the show by a few years, then.

    Understandable. So, does this mean that you have a better replacement for The Ripping Friends on their NBC timeslot for next year? Because it looks to me like they wouldn't last past August, if they're lucky.

    Ouch. To be called on the same level at Ataru is not a path one named Walt in the animation world should go down.
    But between Cardcaptors and Mon Colie Knights, I think there is hope for them.
