Nintendo is spinning off a new magazine to cover the Game Boy Advance!

We recently got word that Nintendo will be creating an entirely new magazine devoted to the Game Boy Advance. The first issue will be out in June and the magazine will be titled "Nintendo Power Advance." Clever title, isin't it? But, this new magazine raises some questions. Such as this one posted by Bloodworth, who alerted us to this story, in the forum.

Nintendorks is BACK! Let the toilet humor begin...oh yeah, baby.

I just happened to type in http://www.nintendorks.com in my browser today to see the latest update report on how the site's revitalization is going, and lo and behold, the friggin real site loaded! Jon Miller says that not all features are back to their former selves, and apparently the message board is kaput until they can get it hosted separately, but Nintendorks is back!!!!

I AM ONE LAZY KITTY CAT!!! Louie SI BACK babies 2 do some RUMArz on GBA games u may or may not see if u don’t live in JAPAN!!

The games for the U.S., European and Australian launch of the Game Boy Advance are being chosen… Some games will be released outside of the country, some won’t.

Box art has recently surfaced at IGN Pocket for all the U.S. GBA launch titles. Come see what's in store for the handheld crowd!

Let the games begin!

And it's earlier than you may think! Kangaroo's are jumping and Olympic swimmers are playin' guitars. But when and how much?

Nintendo Australia has confirmed the GBA will release down under on June 22.

The price has been set at $180 AUS (around $90 US).

Nope! Rumor debunk time: 52 seconds.

So after posting leaked Thunder Rally screens & getting in trouble with IGN since they were going to charge for 'em, we've decided to be a bit more careful and meticulous while recovering from this potential disaster. As things settled back to normal, the planet mailbag was chock full with more "hacked... Read more...

The Big N announces a multi-million dollar marketing compaign for the GBA.

Come the end of this month, it'll be impossible to not know about the Game Boy Advance. Nintendo will be spending $25 million on marketing the launch of the Game Boy Advance which will be titled "Life Advanced". By the end of the year, the company will have spent around $75 million on GBA marketing alone.

Happy Friday the 13th! Editor-in-Chief Max Lake apologies to IGN.

Early this morning, PGC posted screenshots of Thunder Rally that had been posted to our forum and had been leaked all over the Internet. However, these shots were high profile shots for debut tomorrow on IGN Insider, IGN’s new subscription service. By publicizing the leakage we made things even worse for IGN Insider’s debut, something we had not intended to do. We had no right to run the screenshots and should not have done so.

Square will not be showing any products for Nintendo systems at E3 2001. But is this as bad as it sounds?

Nintendojo's MSTAnon has learned from a Square US representative that the giant software publisher will not be showing any games for Nintendo systems or any other non-Sony systems. (Doesn't make much sense to show Wonderswan Color games at E3, since it hasn't and probably won't be released in the US.)

Hey, this is who we are people. This is our name. It's not Planet GAMECUBE. What's with the Caps thing anyway? Read about our name. I promise you. It's exciting.

Well, it's been over a month that we have been Planet GameCube, and since Nintendo has made there rather odd CaPs StAtEmEnT on HoW to SpElL GAMECUBE. Here's how to mention our name....

Planet GameCube

There ya go. A shortened version is also accepted...

PGC

That's it. And yes, as Tendo Box is...Planet GameCube is two words.

Mortal Kombat's Ed Boon is impressed with the GC's power.

Read the headline.... MK5 is multi-platform as of now, and from the sound of things, it will be coming to GCN...

Microsoft's managing director gives an educated guess on GCN's Japan price at launch.

Although Microsoft has no inside information when it comes to Nintendo's business, Hirohisa Ohura's job is to know what hardware costs. So when asked what the Japanese price of the Xbox would be, he stated that it all depends on its competitors' prices.

"...the price of Nintendo's GameCube, which I personally think will fall around 19,800 yen ($160)."

As the GIA says, it truly is the Land of the Rising Fun. GBA sales numbers are in, and all is well.

GameSpot VG reports that Famitsu's GBA sales numbers are in, and they show the fledgling handheld breaking the one million mark in Japan. In about three weeks of availability, Famitsu has recorded 1,132,612 Game Boy Advance units being sold in Nintendo's home country. Note that Famitsu sales data is usually less than the actual statistics, because of the sampling method used.

You may think you've signed important petitions in the past few days... but this one tops them all!

In the past week the Nintendo faithful have been taking up the charge to do their part in securing GameCube's deserved place in the next generation. Whether it be valiant attempts to get mature titles made, Square developed titles made, for it to release on time in Australia... by making people's voices heard hopefully Nintendo and other developers will take note!

The incredibly popular skateboarding series is headed to GBA twice over...but where's the GameCube love?

Activision has announced that the third Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game will be released for an amazing six systems: Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Playstation, Playstation 2, PC, and Xbox. Great news for the GBA, especially since its version of Tony Hawk 2 looks so awesome, but the lack of a GameCube... Read more...

All new Karnov game! And no, it isn’t for GameCube, Game Boy Advance OR a hacked ROM like yesterday’s Zelda. Still, we think you will want to play the latest (and perhaps GREATEST) Karnov game!

Karnov is one big, tubby, fire-breathing Russian who entered the lives of many an old school Nintendophile back in 1987. The NES classic was by Data East and featured all kinds of challenging platforming and various creatures.

Although Karnov later appeared as the first level boss in Bad Dudes, it’s been ages since we’ve seen our old comrade! Now, Something Awful delivers an all new Karnov adventure! DANCE DANCE KARNOV!!!

Have a look at what Mario Advance and F-Zero's U.S. boxes will look like.

Here they are, for your viewing, freshly scanned out of the latest EB catalog:

You know you love 'em! Oh, and if you can't read that, it says "Link it up! 1 Game Pak, 4 Players!"

In what must be one of the most amazing Videogame hacks of all time, someone has hacked the original ROM to The Legend of Zelda and created a whole new adventure. Details inside.

While we normally don't condone the illegal copying of game ROMs, this was too cool to pass up.

Challenge Games has hacked the original game ROM for The Legend of Zelda and made an entirely new adventure, with a new overworld map as well. While this isn't the first game that Challenge Games has hacked, it is probably one of the most impressive.

The delightful mouse Stuart Little will be coming to Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance AND GameCube courtesy of Activision.

Activision has announced a deal with Sony Pictures Consumer Products that gives them the rights to produce games based on Columbia Pictures' Stuart Little movie & its upcoming sequel, Stuart Little 2, which will hit summer 2002.

Activision plans to bring its Stuart Little games to Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance and GameCube! Activision has not announced plans to bring the perky mouse to non-Nintendo consoles.

Retro Studios, the Nintendo second-party developer bringing us the next Metroid, continues to take lessons from the school of hard-knocks in the form of more layoffs.

Last night, IGNCube reported that there is even MORE trouble for Retro Studios. According to their sources, Nintendo laid off an additional 3 programmers, though it is not known if the programmers were assigned to the “Retro RPG” or the new Metroid game—Retro Studios’ only two remaining NGC projects.
