Late Night Consoling
Still nothing from SquareSoft on their possible Xbox support...the suspense
is killing me.
- A couple of major new titles have been announced for the WonderSwan Color, the portable system which will almost certainly never be released in the US (which frankly, is a shame). Sega has announced that they are porting the original Golden Axe to the system, while Sony, in a surprise move has announced their plans to release Devil Dice.
- Good news for skater fans: Activision has announced that Tony Hawk 3 will be released for the GameCube this year. It features a brand new engine for the GameCube, but the online modes from the PS2 version will be dropped. More info can be found at Cube.IGN, where they have both a preview and interview online.
- PS2.IGN has two glowing reviews online tonight, for both Silent Hill 2 and ICO. Another glowing review of ICO is up at The GIA, where they have given the game their highest possible rating (something that's very rare indeed).
- Here's something that won't come as any surprise: Sony has pushed back the North American release of the PS2 hard drive into next year (hopefully this extra time will let them come to their senses and drop about 20 GB off that damn thing). The network adapter and modem will still be released in November, just in time for Tony Hawk 3.
- Okay, now this totally rules: someone's made a handheld PSOne.
- Nintendo has signed a deal to develop motion-sensing and wireless technologies. Sounds good as long as it's not as bad as that Genesis add-on or the Power Pad.
