According to the press release, it's being released by Sega of America, and will be released sometime in 2002.

This must mean that there will be some form of internet/online play straight... Read more...

Click action in the L and R buttons and info from Miyamoto's hand-on inside!

At the press conference this morning, Nintendo's staff revealed a new feature of the GameCube's controller.

Nintendo just completed their Conference and we have the skinny!

Nintendo's Conference lasted approximately 90 minutes and showcased a lot of in-game footage, as opposed to Xbox's outing which was more talk than action.

When Miyamoto took the stage he first demonstrated the GameCube's controller, which has only minor modifications to the controller we knew.... Read more...

Miyamoto's new masterpiece in the making has been revealed with an official press release. Get the scoop and comments...

LOS ANGELES, May 16, 2001 - Nintendo sprouts a new kind of fun with Pikmin?, available exclusively for NINTENDO GAMECUBE?. Created by legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, Pikmin is an inventive life simulation and action-strategy title that pushes the limits of the imagination, offering fast-paced 'thinking' action while teaching players the importance of caring for and nurturing creatures to create a symbiotic relationship.

For everyone wondering, wonder no more. In essence it appears no Mario for launch. Instead Luigi will be on a quest to save him.

LOS ANGELES, May 16, 2001 - Get spooked with your old friend, Luigi, as he navigates his way through the creepy nooks and crannies of Luigi's Mansion?, available exclusively for the new NINTENDO GAMECUBE?. This one-player action adventure is the first title to star Mario's younger brother Luigi, a beloved character who has made appearances in Nintendo video games since 1993.

Nintendo releases their official press release on the wacky fighter sequel.

LOS ANGELES, May 16, 2001 - Favorites from the Nintendo family are lining up for a chance to win it all in Super Smash Bros.® Melee for NINTENDO GAMECUBE?, unveiled this year at E3. As one of the kick-off titles exclusively for NINTENDO GAMECUBE, Super Smash Bros. Melee throws players into an ultimate melee against multiple lethal enemies in which they can experience a heightened level of multi-player action intensity.

Contradictions everywhere in terms of what will be shown at the time the press conference should be going on but worth checking...

In one place you can see an ad promising live coverage of the press conference, on the page itself it seems to be planning Army Men game footage... so which is right? We don't know, we're just here to make sure that if you really want to see the press conference you won't miss this potential opportunity.

For anyone who missed the live Internet broadcast concerning Microsoft's new console here's the skinny...

While the Nintendo press conference is now less than an hour away the X-Box fans of the world have already gotten their early Christmas present.

What was revealed? Most importantly that the X-Box will launch on Novermber 8 (that's this year for anyone who wanted a delay) and for a price point of $300.

For Insiders you would have gotten this news last night but now it is public and you don't want to miss it.

IGNCube has updated with their short list of 100% confirmed and real titles they plan to check out on the Expo floor. Among the titles you'll see some known games, some old faces, and some brand new ones.

One particular game of note is Kameo, the background of which we posted a rumored description of a week ago that seems to have been on the mark.

Doing a search for "E3" at Nintendo.com pulls up some interesting results. Could these titles be a preview of games to come?

Yet again we have an interesting domain that has been registered. Though this one will probably be for GBA it is still good to know.

Just got an email from another one of our trusty and inquisitive readers, this time using the handle Fire Mario apparently. Two of these names are pretty much givens or known but there's one that caught at least my eye. Here's what he had to say:

In the spirit of Milhouse, I went to look up registered domains by Nintendo,

No GameCube love from Tecmo until after March 2002. But, some good news...

Core Magazine reported today that Tecmo won't have anything GameCube released in the 2001 fiscal year. The 2001 fiscal year ends in March 2002. So nothing until then.

Word is though, that Tecmo has GameCube development kits, and is beginning production on GameCube titles. Will we see Dead or Alive 3 or Tecmo Bowl on GameCube? One would sure hope so!

IGN investigates "Metroid Prime" and finds proof of a prequel. New info & implications on Metroid GC & Advance!

Yesterday, PGC posted an investigation into what could possibly be the new name for Metroid, “Metroid Prime.” After a few hours, IGNCube followed up our story with one of its own, combining the research of Millhouse with a report from a source close to Retro Studios. What did they come up with?

Sega's shooting mayhem game may very well show up on your shiny new Nintendo system!

IGN reported this today:

Today sources close to Sega indicated to IGN that Planet Harriers is one of the big GameCube projects on the way from its popular arcade development group, Amusement Vision. It is expected that Planet Harriers will at least be announced or shown on video at E3, though the source offered no solid details in this regard.

Holy Crap! Looks like we're going to need more Mountain Dew! All the goods inside...

The USA today had an excellent "pro" Nintendo article last week. It's a great read, and contains most information you've seen before on this website. Except this...

Nintendo plans to display about three dozen GameCube games at the show, including longtime Nintendo favorites Mario and Zelda.

Retro's Metroid project is called Metroid Prime?

As everyone knows, Retro is hard at work creating/refining its tedious Metroid project for GameCube. Thanks to ultra-super-cool Nintendophile "Milhouse", we have a suspected title, Metroid Prime. Here's what he posted up earlier today in Gaming-Age's Forums.

I have made some search with DNS and Whois and i think i have found Metroid
