This Day in Gaming, September 29
1996: Nothing happened*
1998: The Resident Evil 2 Storyline begins, 2 months after the original Resident Evil. Luckily somebody beat the game so we are still alive today - unless we are all actually zombies and don't realize it because our zombie nature seems normal to our zombie selves.
1999: Nintendo of America announces its US patent for the Nintendo Gateway System, in-flight videogame entertainment. Too bad it's only implemented on overseas flights.
2004: Jamdat Mobile (mobile games publisher) goes public, raising $61 million, their shares jumping 40%. That's it, the Kotaku staff is going public. We will make crappy mobile games that no one plays for more than 5 minutes and farm the actual work out overseas.
* We know N64 was launched in US today, but we will celebrate on the original launch date of the system. Otherwise it gets to be like that kid who got Christmas and Hanukkah and we don't want you spoiled.
