There's been speculation about Namco and Gamecube, but now it's official.

Namco released financial statements today that cited a significant loss (mostly attributed to the disappointing performance of the PS2). Of greater interest to Gamecube fans is that Namco stated that they will be supporting Gamecube. It's been speculated about before, but the financial statement... Read more...

New trademarks hint at Conker's BFD 2.

Ok, so we're a little late with this news... On February 1, 2001, Rare got ahold of two new trademarks: Conker's Other Bad Day, and Grabbed by the Ghoulies. There have been no official comments on this yet, but we can guess a few things from the names. The Conker title is likely a possible sequel (presumably on the GameCube) to Conker's Bad Fur Day. The other name... well, that could be anything really.

Segadojo is starting rumors! Although Virtual Fighter 4 has been listed as a PS2 exclusive, this might not be the case.

RUMOR ALERT! Segadojo just posted a RUMOR that we might be seeing Sega's highly anticipated Virtual Fighter 4 on the Nintendo GameCube. This has already been a long "unspoken" rumor as it has been uncertain whether or not VF4 was really exclusive to PS2. While we still don't know, our pals at Segadojo have boldly pieced some clues together and have started the RUMOR that Virtual Fighter 4 may just end up on GameCube.

While not Gamecube related, this article should open all of our eyes to the threat that is X-Box.

The Seattle Times article goes into depth about the aura at and around Microsoft when it comes to the X-Box project. The X-Box is seemingly succeeding on all front where everyone thought it was doomed to fail. Nintendo and Sony should both be worried, and step up their efforts. Why? The following quote says it all ...

I guess this is just a sign of the times. About a week ago, I showed some of my friends the "All Your Base" music video that Ty mentioned here at the Planet.

While this isn't directly related to the Gamecube sometimes you just have to see something...

OK, so in the last year Nintendo has surprised me a few times. First they made a mascot fighter, then they made an interesting ad campaign for Perfect Dark... but folks, this tops the list. I'm not even sure what to say... wow. A mix of emotions. Joy that Nintendo has come out of the closet somewhat... Read more...

The mag's got the shots, not the site.

EGM (the print version, anyway) has some new pictures of new GBA names that Majesco will be putting out - Iridion 3D, Earthworm Jim (EWJ 2, it looks like), and Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure.

Majesco is working with Shin'en for Iridion 3D - it's looking quite nice, have a look:

Having worked at Comp USA, I will tell you this...

There are a bunch of you out there that have pre-orders already for importing a GBA this March. So what is it like to be in Japan and wanting to pre-order?

After people were having fits of rage last week with the report of Metroid becoming a FPS. The story deepens...

Reports from IGN Cube say that Metroid is not a first person shooter, but a first person adventure.

What does this mean per say?

Metroid isn't exactly what many readers think. It's not a shooter so much, say sources, as it is an adventure in first-person view -- an FPA if you will -- and... Read more...

According to Fatbabies, Sony recently "asked" a Funcoland to pull down al their X-Box and GameCube advertising shiz.... or else they lose their PS2 shipments. Here's the scoop:

Apparently Sony is still threatening retailers (see Sony the Bully) who display any sort of X-Box promotional material. A manager of a Funcoland stated they were required to remove all X-Box pre-orders because Sony called and e-mailed to threaten PS2 hardware and software shipments will be shorted to the store if the store does not remove all pre-orders and marketing materials for X-Box and GameCube.
