Tactics Ogre Gaiden gets a US date, new publisher, and a surprising name change.

The latest entry in the popular SRPG series in Japan, Tactics Ogre Gaiden is now being released as Tactics Ogre: The Knights of Lodis, by Atlus, in May. For the record, the original subtitle is actually "The Knight of Lodis", so the minor plurality change and the dropping of Gaiden from the title come as a surprise, especially from a company like Atlus.

Pretty soon, there are going to be a million reasons why this game is Nintendo's best Japanese seller.

Nintendo has just announced that it has shipped one million copies of Super Smash Bros. DX (Melee, for us North Americans) to retailers throughout Japan. Of course, the actual number of units sold is actually lower (around 800,000), but still, it's a rather sigificant milestone for Nintendo.

The screenplay was written by Stephen Sommers (director of both Mummy films), Will Osborne, and David Hayter (yes, the guy who voices Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid games).

How does a million GameCubes a month tickle your fancy?

However, it's just been discovered that starting in April, it will up the production to one million GCNs a month for worldwide distribution. According to GC-Inside, Nintendo will be opening up another production facility in China to reach these kinds of numbers.

ISS 2 announced for PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube

With preparations for World Cup 2002 well underway, Konami of Europe (KOE) is preparing a virtual football treat for all those who can't get enough of the beautiful game. It's a formidable line up and the new instalment of the ISS series will be available for PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube during the second quarter.

The GC is being quite the bait when it comes to luring Japanese Devs.

Sony's PS2 might be the dominant platform in Japan, but developers aren't shunning the Cube. Bloomberg has just updated with a story with some choice quotes from companies and retailers. Here's a few:

``It's best when two or three console makers co-exist,'' said Keiji Tanaka, a managing director at Namco Ltd., the company behind Pac-Man. ``GameCube and (Microsoft's) Xbox can compete against PlayStation 2 and expand the video-game market.'

And if you're a L33T H@XOR programmer, you might be able to help make the game! Take the red pill...

While looking for jobs today, I ran across an job post for Shiny Entertainment. Looks like another rumor is coming true. Matrix for GameCube. Dig it...

TAKE THE RED PILL

Shiny Entertainment is currently seeking top industry talent to join them in creating their latest title based on The Matrix™ license.

Going to another development team that is.

With Left Field apparently out of the loop, Nintendo has chosen to pass the partially complete sequel to 1080º Snowboarding to another team (currently unknown).

Apparently, Left Field's take on the franchise wasn't living up to the direction that Nintendo wants the game to go in. Perhaps it... Read more...

Something strange is happening at Left Field, and Louie is back on the scene to report what he’s discovered…

Rumor has it that Left Field is no longer a Nintendo second-party. Details are sketchy, but every indication is that Left Field’s relationship with Nintendo has changed dramatically following the release of its first GameCube title, NBA Courtside.

The whisperings of Samurai Jack video games are rumor no more; they’re coming & BAM Entertainment is going to make ‘em!

Awhile back, PGC ran a report about Samurai Jack appearing on multiple game consoles, including GameCube. It seems that this report was correct, as BAM Entertainment has announced it has successfully negotiated the rights with Cartoon Network to release games based on Samurai Jack. Although no specific platforms were announced, the first Samurai Jack game will be released this year.

The news so many of us have been waiting for seems to be finally materializing.

PGC’s mailboxes have been overflowing with emails all asking the same question, almost daily. What could be the burning question on the minds of gamers everwhere?

“WILL GRAND THEFT AUTO III COME TO GAMECUBE?!?”
