Nintendo of America has refused to comment on any of those... Read more...

According to the Nintendorks backup site, the zany creators of Mr. Face and All Twelve Flavors of Ass are taking a break for now.

If you missed the initial shipment of Game Boy Advances, you might be tickled pink with this news!

Nintendo's fourth color of Game Boy Advance, Fuchsia has just hit U.S. retailers. The infamous "Milky Pink" model is similar to the Glacier in that the plastic is somewhat see-thru, but this one is pink instead of blue. Fuchsia retails for $99.99, though be sure to shop around!

Here it is, in all its pink-glory:

We reported translated news of Disney Sports coming to GameCube from EA. Electronic Arts doesn't know anything about it, which begs the question...

Following our report on the “Disney sports” title, Computer & Videogames got in touch directly with EA Europe. "We’ve heard absolutely nothing to that effect," a spokesperson told C&VG.

C&VG goes on to say that currently the only confirmed Gamecube Disney game is the joint Capcom and Nintendo Mickey Mouse project shown for the first time at E3.

There are test arcade machines out and about in a certain mall...

The arcade in Southland Mall in Hayward, California just received a beta version of [Capcom vs SNK 2] and [Virtua Fighter 4]!

Reports have said yes and no to this. Now we have confirmation straight from Squaresoft!

IGNCube's interview with Perrin Kaplan sheds a little (emphasis on little!) light on the color situation ...

While remaining as cagey as ever, IGNCube does manage to wrangle one little tidbit of information from Perrin Kaplan in their interview ...

IGNcube: Will purple be the only GameCube launch color?

Perrin: No. We are looking at a variety of options.

It's quite frankly the only answer she really didn't waffle on, but at least it's something. You can read the rest of the interview at IGNCube.
