Tonight at 8:30pm Central TechTV's "Extended Play" will be airing the rest of their E3 2001 footage. MMmmmmmm. E3 TV is such good TV!

Extended Play should have a lot more footage than was shown earlier on their program Fresh Gear.

The company behind Turok and many other popular franchises will have FOUR titles ready for GameCube's launch, with a total of 12 by August 2002.

Acclaim announced today that it has four GameCube launch titles lined up for November 5: All-Star Baseball 2002, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2, XG3 Extreme Racing, and NFL Quarterback Club 2002. And a bit of bad news for our readers in the upper Midwest...it doesn't look like Brett Favre will be on this year's NFLQC box. Here's the whole press release if you're interested.

It appears the post-E3 war of words has officially begun and in the opening volley Nintendo escapes unscathed... UPDATE

While not dealing specifically with GameCube it always pays to keep an eye on what the competition is doing. In this case, Sony's president Ken Kutaragi has taken an almost Yamauchi-ish approach in slamming down the newest kid on the block, Microsoft.

But apparently it isn't only Sony's illustrious president that had bad things to say about the X-Box. Even more fuel is thrown onto the fire with the following statement:

No surprise here, just a happy confirmation.

25,000 Yen - or about $208 U.S. dollars.

They also have screens and movies if you haven't gotten your fix, yet.

Leigh Loveday offers an explanation of why Dinosaur Planet for N64 is now Star Fox Adventures for GameCube.

Rare's snazzy new website was updated today with this addition to the site FAQ:

Why did you decide to apply the Star Fox licence to Dinosaur Planet?

It just so happened that even as Rare were in development on the original version of Dinosaur Planet, NCL were getting down to work on a Star... Read more...

Why oh why can't more of the media have the brains and impartiality Steven Kent seems to possess? See his new article inside.

Moreso than even his previous glowing articles, this new write-up by our buddy Steven Kent shows wisdom lightyears beyond the drivel the rest of the mainstream press has been spewing. While much of the article really deals with the PS2 (and not all in a negative light), the central message of the piece is absolutely worthwhile.

Stop bugging us! We're not selling...but there's people selling their E3 press goodies, and squishy Nintendo GameCubes and GBAs...for a price.

E3 was rather lackluster when it came to swag. In comparison to last year, companies really scaled down the amount of free stuff given to attendees.

Nintendo handed out GameCube attaches to press at the press show. These suckers are very well put together, and are damn slick.

According to Mike S' fiend, Kai, Nintendo has started running a new Game Boy Advance ad. The ad was spotted on Tuesday the 22nd on ABC around 10:30pm(eastern). The ad starts with Mario and then it flahses a bunch of screen shots. After that it shows the GBA with a release date underneath. Then it shows a gamecube with the words "comming this fall" underneath it. If any of you PGC readers have any more info, tell us in the forum!

A large E3 special will be hitting cable tonight! Grab some popcorn and Mountain Dew and hit that couch!

At 8:30pm Central Time tonight, Tech TV will be airing a special about E3 2001.

Exactly what they will show is unknown at this point, but it should give you a good general feel of what E3 is all about.

Not that it (cough) will get all that close to the in depth coverage that is on our E3 2K1 CD. :)

Read Higher Voltage's E3 report guest-starring myself in the battle of the millenium. @_@

Our good buddies at Higher Voltage have an E3 special up - and, by gum, you oughtta read it. (Note: PG-13 humor in here. If you're offended, cry me a river )

Troubled waters for M$'s X-Blah. Oh, I'm sorry...do we seem biased here? Nope. We saw it. It was sad.

Check out CNN's article about X-Box's demise at E3. We're not dancing on M$'s grave. We didn't write it. We're just reporting it.

We’re moving into HEAVY rumor territory here! Buuuuuut...

We recently got a question from a reader who asked whether or not the GameCube would have a territorial lockout—especially as the GBA does not have a lockout and will interact with the GameCube. Well, we have been skeptical (albeit hopeful) that GameCube wouldn’t have a territorial lockout but we’ve heard one interesting bit that’s worth sharing…

During Friday's one-on-one interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, the legendary designer offered the interesting idea of Special Edition games.

During the Q&A session of the N'Gai Croal one-on-one with Shigeru Miyamoto, an audience member asked whether we'd ever see the rumored-to-be-nearly-complete Zelda 64DD or games that were released in Japan only in the other markets. Miyamoto answered that with the new medium, there's a possibility... Read more...

A First Person Adventure from Rare? A secret game was shown behind closed doors and while we didn’t see it & there are not many specifics, here’s what we do know…

During E3, Tendo Box reported hearing about a mysterious Rare game being shown behind closed doors. Apparently, the game is similar to Rare’s previous platformer games, yet in the third-person. TB’s sources also mentioned the game looking very similar to Perfect Dark and possessing a very sci-fi feel to it.

Rick's posted more video clips from E3. Football fans and GameCube enthusiasts, check it out!

Ok, folks ... more video from the PGC trip to E3. First, is Madden 2002 running on GameCube. The game is very early in development, and some of the animations are a bit rough yet, but here you go.

Madden 2002

Next up, here's a shot of the ACTUAL GameCube hardware, in this case, running the Pikmin demo in a surround-sound booth. It's dark and mystical, with a bit of a playful glow. You don't want to miss this one.

Hudson's explosive mascot & champion of multiplayer madness is ready to blow the GameCube sky high!

Today, the Gaming Intelligence Agency posted a story about Bomberman coming to GameCube, a game announcement snuggled in NOA's E3 press materials:

It's difficult to find, but Nintendo's GameCube press material makes a brief mention of Bomberman for the upcoming system. Absolutely nothing about the title is known so far, though it will presumably be developed by Hudson Soft.
