Chris Morris, a columnist for CNN Money, has written up an article outlining Nintendo's possible plans for the near future. With the recent GC price cut to $99, and the resulting sales surge, many believe that this is Nintendo's time to get back in the game.

We dug into the official Mario Kart: Double Dash website and discovered the lineup of unlockable racers and tracks! Spoilers within!

Nintendo's new Mario Kart: Double Dash website (see link above) hints at secret characters and tracks, but all of the locked goodies are marked with silhouettes and the words "Coming soon!" But the diligent PGC staff is always looking for secrets, and thanks to a little snooping around from our staff artist, Ryan Jones, these secrets are coming now.

They've sold enough of the backstock to need to make more of them again.

Mostly in part to the $99 price drop, along with recent bundle deals, the GameCube has been selling like a storm in recent weeks, not just here in North America, but across the world as well. Before that, however, GameCubes were being backed up in warehouses, and because of that production of the system was stopped in January of this year.

The full domestic site for the upcoming GameCube racer is 100% live, with secrets afoot.

Nintendo has just put up the full website for Mario Kart: Double Dash, due out in the States on November 17. It's all in flash, so if you don't have a fat connection or some patience, you might not see everything the site has to offer.

See them online before they hit airwaves next week.

Promotion of True Crime: Steets of LA is gearing up for next week's release. Before airing the commercials though, Activision has released them online through IFILM. The two trailers, titled Slug and It's Worse, are both 30 seconds long, featuring the same gameplay footage and different humorous openings. True Crime: Streets of LA hits GameCube and other consoles next Tuesday.

Even after watching this movie, the game still doesn't make much sense. But man, does it look amazing.

Capcom of Japan has updated their Killer7 website with a game trailer. This particular trailer just happens to be the one that was shown at TGS last month.

The trailer shows off how bloody and cel-shaded the game will turn out to be. There is a lot of shooting, a lot of killing, and a lot of blood being spilled, all in that shaded fashion. You can see all seven of the main character's "personalities" in motion as well.

Nintendo of Europe continues the Double Dash excitement with a driver line-up. I wouldn't be surprised if they're holding some back though.
