Late Night Consoling

I'll skip the chatter and jump right into the first story tonight...Mortal Kombat fanboys be sure to read this:

• Here it is...the first footage from Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. It's a teaser trailer, so there's no way of knowing if the game will actually look like it, but speaking as a longtime fan of the series, I think it looks great.
• In addition to the trailer above, GameSpot has also posted a hands-on look at Soul Calibur II, based on their impressions of a demo of the arcade version of the game.
• Still more craziness at GameSpot, as they have a news story up reporting that SNK's Metal Slug series may live on past the current fourth arcade game being shown in Japan.
• Shigeru Miyamoto's making the rounds, with interviews up at Computer and Video Games and Planet GameCube.
• To go along with those interviews, here's a new batch of screenshots from various upcoming GameCube titles, including Metroid Prime (with a really nice third person shot) and Mario Sunshine.
• Even those who hate cel-shading may like this one...the first screenshot from the upcoming Robotech title for next-generation console systems is up at Cube.IGN, and it looks pretty darn cool.
• A high-res version of the recent Star Fox Adventures trailer is available at Rare's official site.
• A whole lot of details from Final Fantasy XI can be found at PS2.IGN tonight.
• The PS2 won't be getting any cheaper here any time soon, but the price might be dropping again in Japan.
