October is still months away, but Capcom's not waiting around. Check out all the goodies!
Capcom has just opened their "Super Site" for their upcoming GameCube title Viewtiful Joe. The site is themed around movies and a movie theatre, just like the game.
In addition to the game information, there is more content coming soon, like screensavers, web games, a contest, and more. But to keep your Henshin-a-go-goin', you can grab Buddy Icons for AOL Instant Messenger.

Not that you need any help buying the game or anything, but you can view Nintendo's Japanese push now.

With today's update Sega and Nintendo have posted the Japanese commercial for F-Zero GX. There are some flashes of new story mode footage, but other than that, it's about what you'd expect from a commercial about the game.

Nine minus four plus two equals seven. Sega hopes this is the winning forumla for making more games.
Lately, Sega has been looking for others to bail itself out of the financial mess it has got itself into. However, a report out of Bloomberg's Japanese website is stating that its nine development studios will soon be in the middle of a reorganization, a sign that Sega is taking action to right the ship itself.

Even though you might be a geek, gamers in general aren't. Imagine that.
College is a great place to learn about anything you'd ever need in life. It's also a great place to party hard. There are some who think that one conflicts with the other in a way where it's detrimental to the education of young adults everywhere, but a new study claims otherwise.
Basically,... Read more...

An excuse to start beefing up your GameCube library if there ever was one.

So, to move their stock, they've taken 50% off all their games. While you may think DSE only has boring third party titles for sale like The Adventures of Bland License Number Seven, Aussie gamers will be pleased to know that this includes games like:

We all knew that the game was something special, but this?
VJ-Day was June 26 in Japan, and as the week went on, copies of the game were dwindling quickly. Retailers were getting in small replenishment shipments, but those were getting sucked up too. It appears then, that most of the country is out of Viewtiful Joe, and today Capcom has posted a notice of this on its website.

Another movie and another a new course are revealed. Please have your drool buckets and diapers ready.
Once again, Sega has neglected the English arm of the official F-Zero website, so you'll need to navigate through the Japanese side to locate the goods. Of course, that's not all too difficult to do, as most of it's in American, anyhow.
