The Nintendo news keeps on flowing as SpaceWorld continues, but there's nothing
quite as controversial here as last night's Zelda revelation.
- Core Magazine has posted a
Q&A with Yuji Naka of Sonic Team, who says he believes the GameCube
will spark a resurgence in Japan's lagging gaming industry.
- More GameCube shots and footage can be found at Cube.IGN, where they have
new shots and movies from Star
Fox Adventures: Dinosaur Planet and Luigi's
Mansion. Some new footage from Eternal Darkness can
be found at GameSpot.
- In case you've forgotten that the GameCube isn't the only thing on display
at SpaceWorld, Pocket.IGN has posted new impressions and media from Tekken,
Sonic the Hedgehog Advance,
Street Fighter Alpha 3
and Super Mario Advance 2,
all for the Game Boy Advance.
- While we're on the subject of the GBA, check out these two articles at Pocket.IGN:
one on Nintendo's plans for
GBA/GameCube connectivity, and here's one
on that weird GBA Pokemon card reader.
- The GIA is reporting
that SquareSoft has announced that they are working on a new Final Fantasy
anime series. Designer Yoshikazu Miyao, best known for his work on Macross
and Gundam will be working on the show.
- The GameCube might be delayed, but Team
Xbox is reporting that the Xbox is still on track for its November 8th release
date.
- Japanese gamers aren't quite as lucky. According to this
story at GameSpot, Microsoft is set to announce next week that they have
bumped the Japanese Xbox launch into 2002.
- There are
a bunch of screenshots from Dead or Alive 3 up at GameSpot tonight.
These are actually the same as the Japanese ones from last night, but being
in North America, the server is significantly faster (well, if you're in America
yourself anyway).
Console game of the evening:
Soul Calibur for the Sega Dreamcast. Still
every bit as much fun today as it was back on 9.9.99. Bring on the sequel!
