Late Night Consoling
So the GameCube is out in Japan, and lines weren't around the block. This is
due to a few reasons, not the least of which was the fact that some retailers
started selling it early, making waiting in line seem a little pointless. If demand does turn out to be less than spectacular, it's Nintendo's own fault for staying too quiet for too long.
- The big news on the GameCube front is the launch, and you can find coverage of it at Cube.IGN, GameSpot, Core Magazine and Planet GameCube, complete with shots, movies and hands-on impressions.
- The big Biohazard (Resident Evil in the US) announcement from the other night turned out to be a big one indeed: Capcom announced that the entire franchise will be a GameCube exclusive. Exclusive remakes of the four original titles, as well as the new games Biohazard 0 and Biohazard 4. If you're a fan of the series, be sure to check out the impressive footage of the Biohazard remake at IGN.
- Getting back to the other big upcoming console, there are some new shots from Dead or Alive 3 up at GameSpot.
- PS2.IGN is milking their build of Half-Life for the Playstation 2 to its limit, with tons of new movies and screenshots (although someone needs to tell them that the logo on the page is actually from Counter-Strike, not Half-Life).
- A good article on the GameCube/Game Boy Advance connectivity is online at Pocket.IGN, with info on how some games will be utilizing it (including Sonic Adventure 2).
- Microsoft showed up at GameSpot's offices with near-final versions of Halo and Munch's Oddysee, and so they have posted previews of each. The Halo preview is pretty cool, especially since they say the game has improved dramatically since its lackluster E3 showing. Previews of Halo and Munch are also up at Xbox.IGN.
- The release of Giants: Citizen Kabuto for the PS2 is only weeks away, and so there are some new screenshots from the game up at GameSpot.
