Looks like the future of online gaming with Sega will revolve around money. Seganet news! Eat it up.

Sega has announced today that they'll begin charging gamers $9.95 a month to play games on their online network starting November 1. Reuters has the beef....

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The online arm of Japanese game publisher Sega Corp. (7964.T) said on Tuesday it would begin charging $9.95 a month as of Nov. 1 for unlimited access to its online network for multiplayer video games.

If you placed some bad ju-ju upon us, and our video, please get the hell away from us and jump in front of a moving bus. One more quick video update.

We’ve been receiving a lot of e-mails, and I’ve been in very close contact with our good friends from Gaming Edge about the shipping of the E3 Videos. Yesterday I received my personal copy of the videos and CDs, and sat down and watched everything straight through. Let me tell you, even though... Read more...

Yep! Don't want to spend your monies? Sega can help deliver the GameCube love you desire...

Sega has started their contest for you to win a free GameCube, some controllers, and of course, a copy of Super Monkey Ball.

Click the link above to head to the site. You can play a pretty spiffy flash version of Monkey Ball Mini. It's not quite the same, but it should (key word there is should) tide you over momentarily.

Square recaps its fallout with Nintendo and realizes when you feast on arrogance, you get humble pie for dessert.

Before Sony bought 19% of Square, there were numerous Nintendo/Square rumors, supported several promising developments over the past few months, all overshadowed by statements made by NCL’s president Hiroshi Yamauchi earlier this year. After Square first publicly expressed interest in the GBA,... Read more...

What on earth is Nintendo going for with this one? UPDATE: A new trademark and new info!

Those wacky folks over at Tendo Box decided to search the US Patent & Trademark Office for things Nintendo has recently trademarked. It seems as if they have hit pay dirt. In searching for new trademarks they came up with the word "Pikalele." Most likely, this points to some kind of Pikachu ukulele.

The Nintendo marketing blitz expands...to your instant messenger. Yahoo! Get it? Mwhahahahahaha!

We've got the first info on Aerial Aces and Caesar's Palace Advance.

The game box for Majesco's GBA title Boxing Fever (and probably other recently and soon-to-be released Majesco games) contains a promotional leaflet outlining the company's current and future GBA lineup. Oddly enough, the leaflet has a profile for Caesar's Palace Advance and a teaser for Aerial Aces -- two games we've never even heard of.

That's right, Nintendo means business. PH33R.

According to one of our loyal PGC readers, the arcade in the University of Calgary (located in Calgary, Alberta), has been giving out free SHINEY GameCube stickers.

Observe:

Special thanks to Dustin for the |337 scan.

You Capcom geeks probably saw them coming, though. Art inside!

Fighters.net has the dirt - the new characters are, you guessed it, Eagle, Yun, and Maki. (No sign of Kyosuke yet, however.)

Head on over to the gallery and check out the character art.

That's not all! There are some sharp new screens with the new guys in action.

Like, we're going to the EA Sports 500, ok?

Alabama loves NASCAR. EA Sports also loves NASCAR. Now, through the magic of transitive logic, EA Sports has brought the gaming industry to one of the last places you'd ever expect to find it, and PGC is all up in this biootch.

Those bad little flower creatures get platinum, but there is a catch.

Famitsu Advance has awarded Pikmin a 38 out of 40. The scan of Famitsu Advance.

Famitsu Advance is Famitsu's Nintendo only publication. Does that mean they're biased? Well, typically, they give marginally higher scores to games than the multi-console Famitsu (which has a different panel of reviewers), but not much higher (and sometimes lower). Famitsu Advance is not owned or run by Nintendo.

New information concerning Giles Goddard and his work on the Doshin to Giant remake just fell down the beanstalk.

New information suggests that Miyamoto’s communication game may indeed be coming to the West.

Although Animal Forest was shown at E3 and rumors before and since have suggested the title might be coming to North America, no concrete information concerning a release has been made. At SpaceWorld, it was revealed the GameCube version would interact with the GBA version to access new parts of the game and do customization things, such as designing wallpapers.

Facelift is actually more like it. Nintendo’s GameCube site has updated with more goodies, info and fun than ever before!

If you haven’t been to Nintendogamecube.com recently, it may be time you checked it out again. Before, filled with primarily games, wallpaper and Cube Club information, the site has now greatly expanded. A developer section has been added, where EAD’s Shigeru Miyamoto, Rare’s Chris Stamper,...

Hell is a little chilly today isn’t it. Yes, it’s true. The Planet GameCube E3 video is now shipping! Woohoo! Get all the details inside…

The Planet GameCube E3 video is officially shipping today. You should be receiving the video sometime next week. We apologize for the extremely long delay. We had hoped to get the video out a lot earlier, but due to many factors beyond our control, and taking into consideration this was our first video project…it’s made things take longer than originally projected. But alas, it’s on it’s way to you.

Nintendo Representatives are reporting that within six months of its debut, the Game Boy Advance has sold just under 12 million (!) units worldwide.

This just in! The Game Boy Advance is unstoppable. It’s been a smash hit in every part of the world it’s been released in and has developers lining up to make games for it. It doesn’t take a genius to deduce the GBA is off to a phenomenal start. We were still pretty amazed after reading the following from Core Magazine yesterday:

T-minus 5 minutes until the $#!t hits the fan at Amazon.com for more preorders of the Gamecube. Will I come away with one? You'll know when I do kids!

Yeah, I am a sissy and don't want to sleep outside with strangers playing GBA. So I am going in for the preorder! Let's see if I walk away with the prize.
