| Rogue Leader | |
| "Rogue Leader standing by!" Gamecube launches with what is possibly the best Star Wars game ever, but don't worry, even non-Star Wars fans can enjoy this one. Just how good is this game? Star Wars Rogue Leader (GC) | |

| Luigi's Mansion | |
| After years of working in Mario's shadow, Luigi gets his very own game, Luigi's Mansion! Luigi, a Jack of All Trades? Not only is he a plumber, but a Ghostbuster... ? Who would have guessed. Luigi's Mansion (GC) | |

| Finally some interesting rumors | |
| Courtesy of EGM...The "Q" confirms that Treasure is working on a top-secret GC game. It's definately not a port of their new arcade shooter "Ikaruga" though. Personally I'd love to have at least one classic shooter in my GC arsenal, ESPECIALLY one made by Treasure. Also, rumor has it that a new Kid Icarus game is in the works and could even be ready for next year! With this, Mario, Zelda, Perfect Dark Zero, and Metroid under Nintendo's belt for 2002, we should be getting the stellar titles we all wanted for launch. | |

| Waverace Blue Storm | |
| Waverace 64 was one of the first games for N64, and the same is now true of Gamecube and Blue Storm. But is this game different enough to warrant a purchase? Waverace: Blue Storm (GC) | |

| GC "relaunches" with a smash | |
| Today in Japan, Smash Brothers DX (Melee in America) was released with the 2 other GC colors, jet black and spicy orange. Many people that bought the game also bought a new color GC with 3 controllers. One can assume that many cubists waited for Smash Brothers to buy this new console, thus proving it is this year's killer ap of the system. Famitsu gave the game a platinum award because of the variety of gameplay and comon, it's Smash Brothers. So expect to see a lot of media on sites all over and don't expect much out of me on the game as I anticipate the release on our shores in 2 weeks. | |

| More smashing on the cube... | |
| Namco announced today that it will publish the arcade port of Smashing Drive and it should be released around early 2002. The title will feature all of the levels and vehicles from the original title plus a new two-player head-to-head competition mode. Those of you that never played this game in the arcades, basically it's like crazy taxi but nothing like it. You race towards a goal like you would in a timed race, only you have a ton of powerups and you have to manuever around traffic. I had a blast playing the first level in my pathetic arcade/billiards. The port doesn't look very good right now but the graphics were always simple and it will hopefully look better than the arcade port, which seems like it could run on Dreamcast easily. | |

| Improve your memory! | |
| Yes I got my Gamecube at midnight last night and yes I was reading the system manual before I went to bed around 4:30 AM. I read about transferring files between memory cards and came upon something about the maximum number of blocks that can be used. Apparently Nintendo will make a Memory Card 127 for GC. That explains the current card being only 59. The manual says copying cannot take place if the maximum of 127 blocks are already filled. So now you should be able to save a lot more obviously. What I want to know is when they're going to release that SD card for flash cards, which can expand memory up to about 64 Mb. For now 59 is good enough, unless you are getting Madden... | |

| Well it's about here | |
| Yep GC is finally coming. By the time you read this, I will be long dead and you probably stumbled upon this looking for one of those 21st century webpages...well I'd just like to say that since GC is coming out this weekend, the only real news is games coming out and other sites reviewing them. So look to the left at our links and check out some reviews or up to date release dates. Me? I will be getting GC at midnight and you can expect a little something the next day at the site. | |

| Perfect Gaming | |
| According to the boys at RareNet, Perfect Dark Zero is under development, and apparently has been for some time now. It will feature online play apparently and some other innovative features. Hopefully by then Nintendo will act on their SD digicards and allow people to take pictures with digital cameras and do that face mapping..or hell how about Gameboy camera advance? Either way, it should bout out in late 2002 but this is Rare so expect it sometime before Armageddon. | |

| GC ships | |
| Nintendo has started shipping GameCubes. Nintendo has told Planet Gamecube that stores are free to sell the GameCube as soon as it arrives, in order to get a jump on the X-Box launching on Thursday. They also said that no store would be fined for breaking the release date. However when I called GameStop, the guy kept saying "we will be selling the GameCube on the 18th," obviously not knowing much about anything but what his manager tells him. PGC did have some proof or something but it looks like I'll be waiting until the 18th. Hell they didn't even tell me when Rogue Leader came out.. | |

| Madden Info | |
| Well Madden 2002 for GC has his store shelves. People have been wondering if it would support a full franchise mode with such small capacity memory cards. Here is the rundown on saving... -All Game Modes: 59 blocks -Rosters: 40 blocks -User Profile: 3 blocks -Settings: 2 blocks -Create a Team: 1 block So basically you can do it all but if you only buy 1st party (which you should) then you will need to use 2 memory cards at once. | |

| Capcom develops GC controller? | |
| Capcom is currently developing a special GameCube "Combat Pad" which will be packed-in with a forthcoming fighting game. Obviously they thought the small D-Pad and button layout on the standard pad wouldn't be suitable for what they have planned. If anyone remembers Miyamoto saying something about this last year at Spaceworld, I guess he knew what he was talking about. The game will most likely be a new Street Fighter and not just another port. | |
