Late Night Consoling

Thanks to the wonderful phenomenon known as post-holiday sales, I am now the proud owner of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Metroid Fusion and the Phantasy Star Collection, all for GBA. But now I'm faced with an interesting dillemma...do I play them now, or wait for either the Game Boy Advance SP? I've pretty much decided not to import one, since I like to think I can wait an extra month, but whether or not I'm man enough to wait that long to try out any of these games is a whole other story. Of course, helping me wait will be the enormous stack of unplayed games I've got here, and at the same time as the Japanese SP comes out I should be getting my copy of Capcom vs. SNK 2, which will likely take up a great deal of my time. So what are all of you doing? Importing? Waiting? Not bothering at all?

GameCube PS2 Xbox

 Robotech Online! Along with their confirmation that Star Trek: Shattered Universe will be coming out for PS2, TDK Mediactive confirmed that they are working on a new Robotech game, which will feature online head-to-head action. Platforms or any kind of specifics aren't available yet, but hopefully we'll know more by E3.
GameCube Unity Formally Announced It was already basically revealed last week, Jeff Minter and Peter Molyneux formally announced today Unity, their "fabulous journey through a succession of beautiful abstract 3D spaces."
GameCube GameBoy Advance Metroid Movie Info Gamers.com has posted some more details on that Metroid movie which is currently in development. I can't say I really care one way or another with this one...let's just hope it fares better than Nintendo's other game adaptation, the reprehensible Super Mario Bros.
PS2 Silent Hill 3 Preview GameSpot has a new preview of Silent Hill 3 online tonight, based on their hands-on impressions of a "small demo version" of the game. There's also a video preview, which is uncharacteristically available for non-subscribers.
GameCube PS2 Xbox Alias Game Coming Acclaim announced today that they have acquired the rights to produce a game based on the television show Alias. With any luck this will be slightly less confusing than the labrinthine plot from the series.
GameCube PS2 Xbox More Acclaim Like a character out of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Acclaim continues to assure us that they're not dead yet. Need proof? Here's a look at XGRA, the next game in the Extreme-G series and here's a look at I, Gladiator, an upcoming cross platform action game set in the ancient Roman empire.
GameCube Ikaruga Confirmed (Again) For like the third time in a month, it's been confirmed that the GameCube port of Ikaruga is coming out in the US. What makes this noteworthy this time around is that there's a timeframe: it will be out here in April.
Xbox Dead or Alive Gaiden Assuming the game ever gets finished (remember when this was a PS2 launch title? Hah!), it's been confirmed that characters from Dead or Alive will appear in Ninja Gaiden.
GameCube PS2 Hands-on F-Zero, VF:Evolution Those lucky guys from IGN attended the World Hobby Fair this weekend, and so they have posted hands-on impressions of F-Zero. Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution and Sonic Adventure DX. There are also some new gameplay movies from F-Zero, but sadly they're for subscribers only (I only mention them because they're awesome...if you can see them). Update: look like the whole lot is for subscribers-only. Blame IGN.
GameCube PS2 Xbox Misc. Screenshots A new shot from Halo 2 was posted over at Bungie's official fan page, while GameSpot has new shots from Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness and Capcom's P.N. 03.
Console Game of the Evening: Spy Hunter for the NES. Tons of fun.

    hey console fanboys, pc fanboy here

    just thought id drop in and see how you are all doing and get to know you a little better. its like there is a cold dark gap between us, you know..pc vs console and all. you know, i used to play on consoles..like the NES/SNES/sega genisis/playstation. they were pretty cool, the game i spent the most time on was probably that mario gokart game for the SNES..it pissed me off alot and i slammed the controller about 40 times and got in trouble with my mom for cursing. then i discovered the pc & quake/2 and got hooked and stuff. never really did get back into consoles.

    i used to hate you guys alot, you know..since you took halo away from us. but i cant blame you, MS is to blame for that crap..they buy anyone out. shit, they would rather buy the competition out than pay a bunch of kidnappers 100million for the return of their own mothers. dont get me wrong, the xbox is great. but ms can go suck on a buch of cocks straight from kfc. kfc has good chicken, but not as good as popeyes..popeyes makes awesome chicken. do you like popeyes chicken? its great

    well im going to go back to evening reading, goodnight sexies

    omg xbox is huge!!!
