There's not a whole lot to work with tonight, but I'm going to give it a shot here nonetheless...one small bit of news is that I received an invite from Nintendo's PR firm for a press conference here in NYC on Tuesday morning. I have no idea what this is for, but for what it's worth, it's being held at the swanky Four Seasons restaurant, so it might be something big indeed. Stay tuned.

GameCube Pokemon on GameCube by Summer? According to a Japanese publication, Nintendo is planning on releasing a Pokemon game for GameCube this summer in Japan. The report goes on to say that the game won't work without one of the two Pokemon GBA games hooked up via the GBA link cable, which tells me that it might be another Pokemon Stadium type game (which frankly is a waste IMHO).
GameCube Capcom on GameCube Shots Nintendo may not have bought the company (as far as I know), but they're still working on plenty of GameCube titles...GameSpot has one new shot from Resident Evil 4, while Planet GameCube has posted new shots from Dark Phoenix, Killer 7 and Viewtiful Joe.
PS2 This is So Not News Sega's Smilebit is working on a new game. That is all.
Xbox Mystery Hacker Donator Revealed It turns out that the mystery donator of that $200,000 in prizes for Xbox Linux hackers is Michael Robertson, the founder of MP3.com who now heads up Lindows.com. More noteworthy than his identity is the news that the deadline for a mod chipless Linux boot on the Xbox has been pushed back to give developers another year to tackle this massive hurdle.
PS2 Driver 3 Shots Eurogamer has posted the first screenshots from Driver 3, the inevitable sequel to Driver 2.
GameBoy Advance GBA SD iTV at CES VEIL Interactive Technologies has announced plans to showcase their SD-based iTV technology working on a Game Boy Advance at next week's CES show. The technology allows extra content to be optically streamed to digital devices (such as a GBA or cell phone) using ordinary television broadcast signals. Whee.
GameCube Summoner: A Goddess Reborn Preview In a surprise update this evening, GameSpot has posted a new preview of Summoner: A Goddess Reborn, which is the fancy name for the GameCube port of Summoner 2 (I assume the name change is because the first one was a PS2 exclusive).
GameCube PS2 Xbox Ghost Updates Blizzard has updated their official StarCraft: Ghost site with a new Q&A, as well as one new piece of concept artwork from the game.
Console Game of the Evening: Ranma 1/2 for the SNES. There were a lot of these games released in Japan, and I'm not sure which one I played, but it was a lot of fun. If you can imagine Street Fighter online with lots of slapstick humor, you've got the picture.
