An excuse to start beefing up your GameCube library if there ever was one.

One of Australia's major electronics chains, Dick Smith Electronics, has been having trouble moving their stock of GameCube games. And guess what, it's stocktake time at present.

While you may think DSE only has boring third party titles for sale like The Adventures of Bland License Number Seven, Aussie gamers will be pleased to know that this includes games like:

While the series may be over, Buffy lives on in portable gaming form.

CALABASAS HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 3, 2003--THQ® Inc. (Nasdaq:THQI - News) has shipped "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Wrath of the Darkhul King(TM)" for the Game Boy® Advance.

Question: What other new elements can players expect?

Though he's not the big cheese anymore, the ageless wonder's opinion on things is still pretty important.

Polygon Magazine (you might remember them as XenGamers) has a knack for finding interviews in the Japanese newspapers, translating them, and posting them to their website. Well, they've found one with former Nintendo Co., Ltd. president Hiroshi Yamauchi.

Yamauchi talks about the Famicom, industry pressure, Nintendo's future plans, and the PSP, as you can see below:

Another movie and another a new course are revealed. Please have your drool buckets and diapers ready.

Once again, Sega has neglected the English arm of the official F-Zero website, so you'll need to navigate through the Japanese side to locate the goods. Of course, that's not all too difficult to do, as most of it's in American, anyhow.
