A lot has happened in the time we were gone. Nintendo has released the first-ever screen-shot of Donkey Kong 64 in its monthly Nintendo Power Magazine. South Park 64 and BattleTanx have hit stores. IGNPC has discovered the concept of humor (whaaa?).
It's been a long vacation for us, folks, and now it's back to work again.
Well, for some of us... Half of the staff of IGN64, editor creature Matt Casamassina, is still off eating deep-fried food in Simi Valley, CA. Industry insiders suggest that Casamassina may have simply forgotten about his job and will only return when prompted.

Oh, the picture... Well, as you can see Donkey Kong 64 is shaping up nicely. Unfortunately, asides from the shot, nothing is known about the upcoming platformer. It's got Diddy, it's got Kremlings, and it's got a mine cart level.
