The developer of Tyrannosaurus Tex gives up on the handheld market in favor of PC development, citing the cartridge business model as the primary motivation.

A notice at Slitherine's website confirms that the incredible GBC first-person shooter Tyrannosaurus Tex still does not have a publisher. Although the developer is still hoping for a miracle, they have decided to leave the GBC/GBA and focus on the PC market. They claim that the low profit margin... Read more...

More sad news, folks.

GameBoyDojo was able to talk to an Eidos representative recently, and the topic of Eidos on Nintendo's new systems came up. Here is what GBDojo reported...

Today Eidos made it clear that there would be zero news, games, or announcements concerning Eidos's development on the Game Boy Advance or GameCube at this year's E3.

The giant publisher will be handling the release of Bomberman Tournament and Pinobee: Wings of Adventure in all non-Japanese markets.

The newly renamed Bomberman Tournament and Pinobee: Wings of Adventure, both published by Hudson Soft in Japan, will be coming to North America, Europe, and presumably Asia, courtesy of Activison. No word on whether these two will join Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 as launch titles in the U.S.

Japan only? Actually, looks like the mid-November for the U.S. thing could be official now too... UPDATED!

PGC has many readers working at retailers & now many more have written in to tell us what's up. See what they have to say!

Wow! I put out a call for "retail reports" and you people delivered! Nothing like a bunch of great reader submissions to brighten one's day! Better yet, thanks to these contributions, we're getting an increasingly widespread look at what's going with retailers right now, not just for Nintendo either.

More bad news for IGN, as The Register reports that 33% staff cuts and a NASDAQ delisting are imminent. Rick has more ...

In the .com day and age, nothing can be worse than having your company get "delisted" from NASDAQ. Yet that same fate is about to befall Snowball, the parent of IGN, HighSchoolAlumni, and ChickClick.

According to NASDAQ regulations, when your stock trades below $1 for a period of time, NASDAQ can remove your stock from the index, or "delist" the company. Sure enough, Snowball has been trading under a dollar for some time now.

Nintendo to start its own eCommerce for selling GBA software in Japan…

After yesterday's run-down from a GameStop employee, we now have another employee from a competing retailer writing in to give us another point of view.

Another retail report has come in, covering many of the same issues touched on by SillyMrMan. Now, we have a new contributor from a rival-retailer writing in and since it's pretty informative, we have no problem passing the information along to you. Today, we hear from someone dubbing himself "The Crazed Rabbit."

In this new age of subscription content, PGC wants to know if you'd pay for supplemental content. Get to the Forum and Voice your opinion in our Poll.

With the recent decision for IGN to start selling "premium" content, but going about it in what we feel is the wrong way, plus our need to offset our costs, we've been throwing around the idea of an E3 Preview magazine.

The current plan is for 16 pages, with previews, pictures from last year's... Read more...

Thanks to an elite PGC reader/retail employee, we have NGC pre-order poster shots and a info-laden retailer report! Good stuff!

PGC has gained the assistance of a longtime reader turned l33t retail reporter, a gentleman calling himself "SillyMrMan" (and we'll leave it at to protect his anonymity) who has emailed us several promotional posters received from Nintendo. Since he was nice enough to hook us up, we got in touch and were all to happy to see what he had to say about the posters and other information from the retail front.

Interplay has announced its adventure game Galleon, from the creator of the original Tomb Raider. And it's headed to GameCube AT LAUNCH.

Whilst announcing its company earnings today, Interplay confirmed that its long-developed Galleon is being readied for release alongside Nintendo GameCube in October. The game has been in development for years, with Tomb Raider's original designer behind the wheel. The third-person adventure game focuses on pirates and features an entirely new graphics engine.

Nintendo is spinning off a new magazine to cover the Game Boy Advance!

We recently got word that Nintendo will be creating an entirely new magazine devoted to the Game Boy Advance. The first issue will be out in June and the magazine will be titled "Nintendo Power Advance." Clever title, isin't it? But, this new magazine raises some questions. Such as this one posted by Bloodworth, who alerted us to this story, in the forum.

Nintendorks is BACK! Let the toilet humor begin...oh yeah, baby.

I just happened to type in http://www.nintendorks.com in my browser today to see the latest update report on how the site's revitalization is going, and lo and behold, the friggin real site loaded! Jon Miller says that not all features are back to their former selves, and apparently the message board is kaput until they can get it hosted separately, but Nintendorks is back!!!!

Nope! Rumor debunk time: 52 seconds.

So after posting leaked Thunder Rally screens & getting in trouble with IGN since they were going to charge for 'em, we've decided to be a bit more careful and meticulous while recovering from this potential disaster. As things settled back to normal, the planet mailbag was chock full with more "hacked... Read more...

The Big N announces a multi-million dollar marketing compaign for the GBA.

Come the end of this month, it'll be impossible to not know about the Game Boy Advance. Nintendo will be spending $25 million on marketing the launch of the Game Boy Advance which will be titled "Life Advanced". By the end of the year, the company will have spent around $75 million on GBA marketing alone.

Happy Friday the 13th! Editor-in-Chief Max Lake apologies to IGN.

Early this morning, PGC posted screenshots of Thunder Rally that had been posted to our forum and had been leaked all over the Internet. However, these shots were high profile shots for debut tomorrow on IGN Insider, IGN’s new subscription service. By publicizing the leakage we made things even worse for IGN Insider’s debut, something we had not intended to do. We had no right to run the screenshots and should not have done so.
