Will it let up? Apparently not, as here's another report from Australia. More on the GC Australian launch date & a down under retail overview.

I should have known the minute I posted a new retail report - more would come. Well, we've got another perspective from Australia.

Without further adieu, here is "SilvCP" from down under...

SilvCP says: Hey there,

I work in the computer department of Australia's

*largest* Computer, Electrical and Bedding store..

Last night, PGC had the exclusive on the Australian GC launch date. Now we have exclusive info about an exclusive GBA color for Australia. Don’t be excluded!

Ever since Justin Anderson got in touch to contribute to our latest batch of retail reports, I’ve kept up with him a bit. Last night, he got back in touch and I let him know the article was going up.

“So, I was thinking I had missed that article.....I look forward to reading it!!”

And I said that last one would be the last one. Guess I lied. Here’s a retail report hot outta the boot shaped country.

No sooner than I had posted the latest collection of retail reports, this email shot right into my inbox. Since I took forever getting up the last retail report I decided not to hesitate a minute and slap this puppy online.

A couple weeks back, Planet GAMECUBE was bombarded by reports from people who work in retail. It all started when a PGC reader called SillyMrMan mailed in some NGC pre-order posters. This story was followed by a report from Crazed Rabbit... Which was followed by a collective retail report compiled by many retailers and volunteer reader reporters. It turned out to be quite informative!

But Brian hasn’t withdrawn from the scene yet. He is all too happy to unveil his latest project “atE3.com” (that’s... Read more...

Telegames has revealed JV Games' FPS for GBA. Third time's the charm....

Telegames and JV Games has announced the third FPS for the handheld. Although somewhat remnicent of Doom, this title seems quite promising--it even has textured ceilings and floors (despite what other developers say.) The atmosphere is quite refreshing, too--instead of hailfire and brimstone, this game seems to have more of a sci-fi feel to it. Go over to IGNpocket if you want some pictures of the baby in action.

If you needed any more reason to believe they've moved to Gamecube ...

Electronics Boutique is returning pre-order monies for Eternal Darkness and Dinosaur Planet, saying that the games have b een cancelled.

However, it's been pretty well assumed that the games have just been moved to Gamecube, a fact that has seemingly eluded the retailers.

While our contacts refuse to confirm that either title is now slated for Gamecube, we've got it on pretty good authority that this is, indeed, the case.

Midway is brining its hard hitting sports titles to the GameCube(for launch!) and GameBoy Advance.

Midway announced today that they will have 9 GameCube titles out. But only 2 of these 9 will be available at the system launch. The two titles are NFL Blitz 2002 and NHL Hitz 2002. You've probably heard of Blitz before. It's a hard hitting intense football game. It's more of a game than a football "sim" like Madden is.
