With Nintendo's Spaceworld event ramping up, there's a lot more GameCube news
than normal. If you're not a Nintendo fan, the new boldface on game titles should
help you skip to what interests you. Here we go!
- Let's start this off right, shall we? The
big news tonight is that the
first three shots from Soul Calibur 2 are online. Note that these
are from the arcade version. Nonetheless,let the debate begin.
- Stomped has posted the
logo for the Playstation 2 version of Deus Ex, which apparently
is being called Deus Ex: The Conspiracy.
- According to this news
update at The GIA, ASCII and Vivarium are bringing one of the more crack-addled
Dreamcast titles (and sadly enough one of the best-selling titles in Japan)
to the Playstation 2: Seaman.
- More fun from Spaceworld: The GIA has compiled a
page with new shots from the show (including Luigi's Mansion, Sonic
Adventure 2 and Rogue Squadron among many others), and here's a
complete list of Game Boy Advance titles that are being displayed.
- Speaking of the GBA, Sega's
bringing House of the Dead to the handheld system...as a pinball
game. And I thought Typing of the Dead was weird.
- EBGames has conducted an
interview with Nintendo's Peter Main, who answers some general questions
about the GameCube.
- On a similar note, Core Magazine has a
quote from Ashida Kenichiro, who talks briefly about the system's physical
design.
- PS2.IGN has posted new
movies and screenshots from Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, the PS2
game that has more in common with Diablo than the PC Baldur's Gate
titles.
- Still more 'cube news tonight, Planet
GameCube is reporting that Rare's Star Fox Adventures has been
pushed back until 2002. Here
are some new screenshots to keep you busy until then.
- Budget gamers rejoice: Chrono
Cross and Legend of Dragoon have joined the "greatest hits"
lineup. If you're into console RPGs, you'll probably love one and hate
the other. Which one is which is up to you.
- And finally, our sole Xbox story of the evening: Xbox.IGN has an
interview with Tomonobu Itagaki online, talking with the Tecmo designer
about Dead or Alive 3.
Console game of the evening:
Zillion for the Sega Master System. A strange
and wonderful little game, and I swear, just typing the name gets that damn
soundtrack stuck in my head.
