Late Night Consoling

Aug 24, 2001 10:30pm CST tags: Sega, Games: Console
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!
