Capcom:
Capcom's top man Yoshiki Okamoto, said that his favourite E3 games were 'Miyamoto's strange Lemmings-alike Pikmin" and 'The Beautiful Luigi's Manshion'
He also mentioned a few of Capcoms own games but he would wouldn't he!
When someone asked him about the upcoming console wars between PS2, X-box and Gamecube, he said he thinks Nintendo's GameCube will be the most "fun" of the three!
Microsoft's release date:
On the 8th November, the X-box is gonna be released in the states.
On the 5th November, the Gamecube is.
I don't think Microsoft are gonna be to pleased about that...
Pokémon:
The ditial card reader for the Game Boy Advance has been renamed the "Pokémon E-card Reader". This means that it looks like only Pokémon will be taking advantage of this innovation.
A limited edition GBA was spotted in Japan based on the Pokémon Suicine. It doesn't look like it'll reach UK shores though.
Game Boy Advance:
In Japan, the link cable has been very hard to come by! They have been so popular that there are shortages which could mean a delay for UK shores....unless 3rd Parties step in....
GBA's release: Here are the best of the bunch of GBA release games:
Super Mario Advance
F-Zero Maximum Velocity
Tony Hawkes Pro Skater 2
Chu Chu Rocket
Rayman Advance
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
Kuru Kuru Kururin
GTA Advance
There are others on release day but those look the best in my opinion.
Gamecube:
Nintendo will be using DVD style cases for their 8cm discs of wonder! They have more room compared to the normal DVD case cos the disk itself is smaller. Nintendo have added a space to stick the Memory carts that the Game Cube will be using. This means we might get some freebies with our games!
Extreme G was a brilliant racer which had a brilliant sequel on the N64. However people used to complain about the tracks being too narrow. Well the Gamecube version...known as XG3 will have wider tracks so that new users to the game will be able to enjoy it as much as hardcore XG fans!
Thats it for now.....

Without a doubt. And on X-Box... And PS2... ;0)
Did you hear about Konami being hacked by a Ninty, and writing on their site a press announcement, saying that "They were very impressed by the Gamecube, and will be developing games for it in it's first year."?
Something like that.
Anyway... I don't think Konami have released a press statement to say what exactly happened yet though.
