The publisher continues to reiterate that it is working on a GameCube successor.

Following up statements to the press yesterday, Nintendo has released a statement regarding the Nikkei News analysis, which suggested that the company was not planning to compete with Sony and Microsoft and would instead release accessories to extend the life of GameCube.

Nintendo's newest comments simply echo what we were told earlier, but here they are anyway:

We present three very different views of Final Fantasy's arrival on GameCube.

As many of our readers already know, sometimes Planet GameCube features multiple reviews of major/controversial games. And sometimes those reviews will give very different perspectives of the same game. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is one of those cases in which our staff simply does not agree.... Read more...

After more than a month of laborious data recovery, it's time for the PGC boat to sail once more.

It's taken a lot of hard work to get here, but I'm now ready to announce that Planet GameCube is healthy and ready to move on from its extensive technical problems, which were incurred in late 2003.

Massive amounts of data were lost in the incident, all of which had to be re-entered manually... Read more...

Successor hardware still planned for 2006. Updated with official comments from NOA.

Earlier today the Nikkei News reported that Nintendo would not be releasing a new home console. According to the report, Nintendo would instead continue to support the GameCube by releasing various peripherals and games. These accessories would take the place of a new console by improving the gameplay and furthering connectivity with the Game Boy Advance.

EA chooses not to announce a version of the game for Nintendo's console.

Today Electronic Arts officially confirmed their publishing contract with Criterion for the upcoming Burnout 3. The first two games in the series were released on GameCube and sold well on the system, but EA's newest press release mentions versions for PlayStation 2 and Xbox only. This is certainly...

Big blue is still on the fence, but game development seems likely.

Although Nintendo had only revealed their new Nintendo DS system a week or two ago, it was pretty obvious that the backbone of the system was well in place, meaning development kits were surely completed.

This appears to be the case, because according to a report in the Nikkei Keizai, Sega has... Read more...

Internally developed fighting games to feature Marvel superheroes and original EA characters.

Electronic Arts and Marvel Comics have signed a deal for new video games to be published by EA. The games will star superheroes from a pool of about 100 Marvel characters (though probably fewer will actually be included in each game), as well as original EA characters created exclusively for these games. The deal covers fighting games only, a genre EA is certainly not well known for but is perhaps looking to test in the market.

Wouldn't he be the king by the time the game is released?

Among the pages and pages of Ubisoft's latest finacial reports, among which include word of increased revenue thanks to Ubi's well-rounded game lineup (which also bagged them a Louie Award), a simple statement from president Yves Guillemot confirms what seemed to be a no-brainer after the original game was released: A Prince of Persia sequel.

That's basically all there is to it.

When Capcom basically stunned the gaming media and announced Viewtiful Joe, Dead Phoenix, PN03, Killer7 and Resident Evil 4 exclusively for the GameCube a while back, questions began to rise about just how exclusive these titles would be. Well, after the (supposed) cancellation of Dead Phoenix, Vanessa Z. Schneider's not-so-hot game, and the successful but low-flying Viewtiful Joe, a lot more questions about Capcom's decision arose.
