Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles is already out, but not many copies were shipped, so you'll have to look around for a copy.

Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes should be out April 4th, but i wouldn't be surprised if it got delayed again because it's being published by Atari.

Excuse my ignorance, but why is Atari publishing it?

I think Nintendo has ripped us off with the new Final Fantasy.
I mean, first you got to buy a gamecube (€ 100-200), the game (€ 60), if you want to play with multiplayer, wich is the best part of the game, another 4 gameboy advances (€ 400(!) and 4 link-cables (€ 40). That comes together to € 600-700 for the complete experience!!!
I found it bad enough you had to either buy a gamecube-mariokart set, buy 1080 and mariokart or collect way too much stars to get Zelda: Collector's edition, but this goes to far for simple game-experience! 700 f*cking euro's !!!
Like I said, Nintendo is becoming more of a profit-company then a gamers-company, to me anyway.

No one knows why Atari publishes games throughout Australasia. I propose they are a vehicle for some sort of cult, the leader of which feeds on the misery and suffering of all people.

EDIT: DAMN! Missed the PA link opportunity

April is Link to Penny-Arcade month!

How Could They Do Such A Thing

Actually, I think the XBox is a big ripoff for multiplayer and/or online.  For example, you have to buy an XBox -- $150.  Then you have to get a broadband connection -- $40.  Next, you have to get Xbox Live, which costs around $50? You also have to buy an ethernet cable -- $10?, cost varies based on length of the cable.  So, that comes up to a total of about $250 before taxes.  

Now, if you want to play with up to 3 friends, then you would also have to buy each of them an XBox, broadband connection, a Live account, and an ethernet cable.  So, that's $250 x 4 = $1000.  If you want to play with more than 3 friends, then that's an extra $250 for every extra friend.  Wow.

How dare Nintendo make you buy a console to play their games! They should be shot, in the groin with Duck toilet cleaner for being such bastards. Thank God no other company out there makes you pay extra to play a game in multi-player. *Brushes the PS2's multi-tap to the side*

don't forget xbox live fees, or perhaps bemani equipment, it's all Nintendo's fault.
