The best French Nintendo news site strikes again!

According to Waluigi of Puissance Nintendo, French developer Doki Denki is working on 2 mystery games, exclusively for the GBA and GameCube. Doki Denki focuses on child-oriented titles, with games like "Tigger's Honey Hunt" under its belt. Though this wont exactly shake Nintendo's kiddie image, it's good to see more support for the 'Cube and GBA.

Planet GameCube and Tendo Box fought the Hurricane in Japan to find the Pokemon Center. Man...the things we do for this website :)

It took us a while, and we tromped around in some serious ass rain...but we finally made it to the Pokemon Center in Tokyo.

So far we know of 3 mini games that will be included with Super Monkey Ball! We knew about Bowling...but there's two more we've found!

While walking around Akihabara, we got a hold of a Super Monkey Ball advertisement. It showed 3 different mini games that will be playable on GameCube!

We've seen shots of Bowling already...but now you can add golf and billiards to the mix.

We'll know how it plays in a few short days...Stay tuned!

A new character selection screen shows spaces for precisely five secret characters.

This scan from who-knows-where was linked on the forums from GC-inside.com.

Bribe the sign operator? Good ol' Engrish? Slick Photoshopping?

Jokes get old, but mistranslated gibberish is forever.

There's only one other site we recommend for your SpaceWorld 2001 coverage, and it's straight from the horse's mouth ...

Thanks to sharp-eyed reader Mike Waclo for reminding us ... Nintendo has posted the splash screen for their upcoming SpaceWorld site.

Despite the disclaimer at the bottom of the page that the announcements are for the Japanese market only, you can be sure that any and all marquee titles will come stateside.

Some people are reporting that Sonic Adventure 2 for GameCube at Spaceworld is now officially confirmed. Could it be true?

This afternoon, several PGC readers (Pher_04005, jm_mad, Alberto Riol) emailed us about a Sonic Adventure 2 confirmation. Apparently the Japanese site GC-Inside reported the story, and its source was Nintendo Kids magazine from Japan. However, we decided not to run the story yet, because we don't have access to the magazine for verification, and Nintendo's online Spaceworld games list remained unchanged.

Between watching some very interesting late night television shows last night...we saw a very cool thing...

Japanese Television in itself is a total trip. We saw lots of commercials for Shenmue 2, Devil May Cry, and Final Fantasy 10.

We waited through very strange love shows (don't ask) to get a glimpse of the new Wave Race commercial we posted earlier. And then we finally saw it. To finally see a GameCube ad on television was a very spiritual experience.

Who or what is the Thing? Well, it keeps changing see… Here is some spooky concept art of the Thing game courtesy of Universal Studios, showcasing the creature’s many forms.

FGN Online has posted some frightening artwork from the upcoming Thing game that will appear across consoles, including GameCube. The game is being developed for Universal Interactive by Computer Artworks, and from this early look is clearly looking to re-create John Carpenter’s take on this horror... Read more...

Avast ye land lubbers! Interplay’s swashbuckling, sea-faring adventure is indeed coming to GameCube, and sooner than you might expect too! Updated!

Interplay announced today that it will be bringing its new game Galleon to the Nintendo GameCube sometime during the winter of 2001. Galleon is a swashbuckling adventure game set to appear on NGC and X-Box, featuring similar art & characters to Lara Croft (Croft’s creator, Toby Gard is heading up the new project) though looks to be a totally different type of game.

Very tiny! Come check out the size differences between the Japanese N64, GBA, and GameCube game boxes!

Check out some of the GameCube box sizes! The GameCube game boxes are seriously tiny!

Thanks to Quiter-W for the shots!

What is it with all the PGC birthdays lately? Today, PGC’s programmer papa Justin Nation turns 28, and we’d like to propose a toast!

It’s birthday time again here on Planet GameCube and this time it’s PGC’s programming wizard / Senior Editor / super-daddy, Justin Nation! WHOOOOOOO! Why all the excitement? Simple! Justin rocks in 41 flavahs! (Take that Baskin Robbins!)

Justin has been a mainstay of the Nintendo online... Read more...

Yessir, plane has landed, and I've already raided stores and spent all my monies. Kidding. Check my first notes from the land of the rising sun!

Ahhhhhh! It's good to be back in Japan. 12 hour flights suck, unless you get a business class ticket. The food is better, the drinks are better, and you can actually recline your seats and sleep. You think I could actually sleep? Hells no.

I haven't really done a whole lot since I got here.... Read more...

Nintendo’s newest competitor seems to be preparing to raise the price of its X-tra large console by packing in games, peripherals and warranties.

LA Times ran an interesting article yesterday regarding Microsoft’s X-Box, which launches on November 8th in North America, hot on the heels of Nintendo GameCube’s November 5th launch. On top of appearing 3 days later than the GameCube, X-Box is priced $100 more than the GameCube’s $199 price, though justifies its high price tag by including a hard drive and the ability to upgrade to a DVD player.

The first ever pictures of the GameCube game packaging are revealed.

A Japanese web site, GC-Inside, has snagged the first pics of the boxes for the Japanese Nintendo GameCube games. They are DVD cases sized, but they appear to be a slipcase design. It looks as if a tray with the game would slide into that case. DVD cases will be used in the boxes for American GameCube... Read more...

The Japanese commercial for Wave Race: Blue Storm has hit the net! Check out this super cool ad! Updated! Fixed link!

Thanks to PGC reader Kyle Oraa, we’ve just got our hands on the Japanese commercial for Wave Race Blue Storm, which is set to launch on GameCube on September 14th. Pre-orders for the system have just begun in Japan, and Ninendo is beginning to build the hype which should escalate to a frenzy during its SpaceWorld show next week.

It's a question as old as time...well... as old as 1991.

After 10 years of fighting between Sega and Nintendo, the two are friends. Sega's Sonic Team, Amusement Vision and others are now developing for Nintendo systems. Rumors have even appeared concerning Sonic in Super Smash Bros. Melee. But the talented folks at VGDC (you can find a link to the movie... Read more...
