This excellent interview has been online over a week and all the while, it's been outside of the Planet radar viewscreen. Whoopsie. Well, no longer. If you haven't seen it yet, scamper over to MSNBC for Steven Kent doing a brief but whiz-bang interview with everyone's favorite game developer, Shigeru... Read more...

A Zelda II demo is being shown as a development tool for GBA. Could it be something more, like a game? What does it mean?

The Nintendo Project have just reported on a tweaked demo of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (that's right, the NES game) running on Gameboy Advance.

Activision has made it clear that intends to support next-generation consoles, including Nintendo's GameCube.

Yes, I'm sad to report that two of the Planet's pals (& 2 of my favorite sites) are currently out-of-commission. Both RareNet and Nintendojo are currently offline, due to the untimely demise of Negative Zero Networks. Since I recommended NZ to both these guys ages back, I feel a little bit guilty...

Even though this doesn't have to do with NGC or GBA, it's about a Star Wars game. And that's really enough to merit your attention, isn't it?

The boys in the box got a nice interview with the LucasArts Team that is working on The Battle for Naboo. Not too shabby. Yeah, it's not NGC or GC related, but it's Star Wars.
