Want to save some cha-ching? You can nab Mario Kart Advance for a measly 20 clams. One slight catch, it's the import version...

Buyrite is cleaning out their stock of Mario Kart Advance for the GBA. Concidering the fact that Mario Kart Super Circuit probably won't be compatible with the Japanese Mario Kart Advance, people that are looking to link up with friends will probably be out of luck...

Well, sort of! These 'Cubes are smaller and much squishier than the real thing.

Now’s your chance to get your very own squishy foam GameCube! These bad boys were only available to attendees of the E3 show in Los Angeles this past May, making these incredibly rare items.

Why would anyone give up these precious bits of Nintendo goodness you ask?! Well the simple fact is that trips to Japan to cover Space World aren’t cheap. What’s a poor guy to do?

Nintendo recently updated its Space World games list, adding one more GCN game!

It seems another third party GameCube title will be playable at Space World: Universal Studios! No gameplay details are known about the game yet, but many are waiting to see how the Universal licenses will be implemented.

With another 3rd party GCN game on display, Nintendo is slowly showing the world that the upcoming system will have more support than the N64.

Hot on the heals of the "early release news", now there's track information and maps! Don't be blue...it's time for Super Monkey Ball!

Swirl vision has uploaded course maps from Super Monkey Ball. These courses are looking to make Marble Madness look like kindergarden.

Sega, we just can't wait until October 30th!

We're still not sure about a GBA version, but check out this sweet, cel-shaded screenshot of Bomberman Generations for GameCube.

The spiritual successor to Mike Tyson's Punch-Out? Majesco hopes so...

The publisher of Iridion 3-D and Earthworm Jim for GBA today announced yet another handheld game, Boxing Fever. It will feature first-person, strategic boxing against fully animated opponents, each with a unique personality.

Japan is getting another exclusive GBA, but don't get too excited...

Nintendo seems to love limited edition GBAs (at least in Japan), but for the first time, the special edition Game Boy isn't for a Nintendo property! What non-Nintendo property could be worth a special edition GBA? Simple: Hello Kitty!

The pink Hello Kitty Game Boy Advance will come in... Read more...

Steven Kent shares how GameCube's graphics are better than Xbox's (at least in one respect).

In the September edition of Popular Science magazine, Steven Kent writes up a short article on Rogue Squadron 2: Rogue Leader and GameCube's HDTV resolution. Thanks to reader Tommy Hofer, another of Kent's GCN-loving quotes can be shared with the masses.

...Rogue Squatron 2 for Nintendo's new GameCube delivers the action in 1,920 by 1,080 lines of resolution. That's equivalent to HDTV.

If you're going to Camp Hyrule this year, make sure you don't miss the bus!

If you were one of the few 2000 lucky people to get into Camp Hyrule, the bus is picking you up today! Nintendo is hosting a "bus ride to camp" chat session. There will be trivia, but I doubt it will be as cool as Planet Trivia. The winner of the trivia will get a copy of Advance Wars for the Game... Read more...

Nintendo has a new Game Boy Advance ad out in Europe and it is one of the funniest commercials ever.

If you saw the first European GBA commercial, you'll remember that it was quite funny. The first one featured a man peeing down his pants in the bathroom because he didn't want to take his hands off of playing his GBA. Well, this new commercial is even better. It features 2 people going upstairs to engage in some "frisky business" with the Game Boy Advances. Thanks to Powder.

The project is being worked on in conjunction with Columbia Pictures and is said to follow the movie's storyline very closely.

Take a look at your soon-to-be-handled-love!

While it's far from confirmed take a look at this:

Rather snazzy wouldn't you say? While the image is a tad grainy, it does not appear to be faked.

Thanks to "DarkerThanYou" of the Gaming-Age forums for the tip.

Yes, Lawson is the place to pre-order your Japanese GameCube. Lawson? Yes, it's in Japan!

Thanks to Core Magazine for the juice...

The ultra-popular fighting franchise will appear on Game Boy Advance with 3D graphics and several gameplay modes.

GameSpot VG reports that Tekken GBA, in development at Sandbox Studios, will be in 3D, although it's not clear whether that label will apply to the graphics, gameplay, or both. Playable characters will include Jin Kazama, Paul Phoenix, Forest Law, Hwoarang, Gun Jack, King, Ling Xiaoyu, Nina Williams, and Yoshimitsu, according to the report.

Even though this news is as grating to hear as nails on the chalkboard, PGC is here break the sad news...

No silver, no black, no pink even.

Sad but true. We've been told that when GameCube launches in the US on November 5th, it will be available in only one flavor: Nintendo Purple.

This doesn't mean that there won't be other colors available later on in the system's life time (no kidding). But if you're getting a GameCube on November 5th...it's going to be purple.

Our friends at N-Sider have uploaded what is possibly the first 'official' GameCube advert as sanctioned by NCL:

As you can see it is a simple purple backdrop with the violet GC setup along with the NINTENDO GAMECUBE font logo. To the right there is Japanese writing which says "Nintendo GameCube" in katakana and then "Nintendo" in large kanji characters.
