There were cries for a Late Night Consoling last night, so I figured I'd round up some news tonight.

GameCube GameBoy Advance GameCube & Game Boy Player, Happy Together No GameCube price drop announced, but Nintendo did officially announce a GameCube & Game Boy Player bundle. The new retail package will go on sale June 23, for $149.99 in the US and 199.99 euros in Europe. For those not in the know, the Game Boy Player attaches to the bottom of the GameCube and allows you to play GBA/GB games on your TV using the GameCube controller.

According to German website GamesWeb, Shadow Strike won't be a real sequel, but it will be stand-alone title. The game will feature new missions, a few new features and improved graphics.
GameCube GameBoy Advance Miyamoto's Stage Debut No, Shigeru Miyamoto hasn't taken up acting, but he did announce his new game Stage Debut. It's a weird Gamecube/Game Boy Advance hybrid game, though apparently it's not really much of a game at all. Using a special Game Boy Advance cartridge with a digital camera you take pictures of things, like your face, which will be building blocks for the game. And then you watch whatever happens...
Console Game of the Evening: Shining Force for the Sega Genesis. "This was, seriously, the best RPG ever made. It held my attention from beginning to the end. Same happened with it's sequal. Shining Force I & II, they were the 2 best games I have ever played. Both of them had very interesting characters." (submitted by Thud).
