There are some strange games coming soon

Bear in the Big Blue house

Ubi Soft and Jim Henson Interactive have teamed up to produce Bear In The Big Blue House for the Gamecube. This product is aimed at kids from two to seven years old and their families. Expect to be able to fully interact with the characters from the Emmy Award winning series and of course, the Big Blue House. Educational puzzle games will teach youngsters all sorts of lessons.

Cubix robots for everyone:showdown

All over Bubble Town, robots of all shapes and kinds are going out of control! Solex has infected them, causing them to go haywire and destroy the environment. Connor, Abby, and the rest of the Cubix gang must track down these rogue robots before the evil Dr. K and his gigantic robot Kolossal do.

Cubivore

The premise of the game is simple… Eat or be eaten. Assume the role of an animal in its early stages of development. But, in the harsh reality of nature, this creature has no parent to coddle and protect it. From the moment the game begins, your creature is on its own to fend for its life. As your animal instincts take over, you will boldly traverse hostile environments, savagely stalking your prey and asserting your place in the animal chain of power. Will you have what it takes to become the new king of the beasts? Explore a number of different environments while consuming other animals to evolve into one of 100 possible creature combinations. Also, by collecting different items you can have access to stronger body parts such as horns and fangs, which can give you the edge in this dog-eat-dog world. However, no creature lives forever, so you’ll need to pass on your strongest traits to your offspring and the circle of life will begin again. Ultimately, the goal is to become powerful enough to topple the alpha creature and earn your rightful place at the top of the food chain.

Darkened Skye

Skye of Lynlora is a shepherd with a restless spirit, a taste for adventure, and a smart mouth. Her humdrum existence is forever changed one day when she discovers magic and is chosen to battle the darkness.
Armed with her wits, spells and weapons, Skye finds herself on a quest for five ancient prisms that can save the world from evil. But at least she’s not alone. There’s her snide side-kick, the obligatory wise-old-knows-everything character and the mysterious love interest who has a bad habit of disappearing just when he’s needed.

Skye’s mission: Cast spells. Unravel the secrets of her past. Trade wisecracks. Kick monster butt. Save the world.

Finding Nemo

Finding Nemo, which has been in development for several months, are scheduled for worldwide release day and date with the Finding Nemo theatrical debut in summer 2003. THQ’s interactive adventures based on Finding Nemo are the first under the Company’s exclusive, multi-property publishing agreement with award-winning interactive entertainment publisher Disney Interactive and the Academy Award-winning Pixar Animation Studios.

Dr Muto

Dr. Muto is a fully 3D, free-roaming, third person, action-adventure videogame set in a stylized universe full of fiendish puzzles, mind-bending devices, freakish monstrosities, and twisted comedy!
You are Dr. Muto – a maniacal and genius mad scientist whose latest experiment has accidentally destroyed his own home planet (except for his laboratory)!

Featuring a cast of unusual characters including Dr. Muto’s sidekick, Janky, and his nemesis, Professor Burnital, Muto will use his latest invention, the Splizz Gun, to mutate and morph with any living organism in order to accomplish tasks no human could achieve alone.

By simply sampling some DNA, the doctor will be able to morph into a spider, mouse, gorilla or whatever creature he sees fit to become. Now he must use his fiendish gadgets and morphing ability to steal organic matter from the neighboring planets in order to rebuild his world.


Hallow'een

Halloween night… a group of children enter a strangely quiet deserted run-down house to look for sweets. Ann, a clever young girl dressed up as a witch, and Greg, a solid young boy dressed up as a devil, are squabbling and lagging behind the others. Suddenly, as they turn a corner, they discover that all their friends have been turned to statues! Lying inanimate on the ground along the corridor, they are frightening and grotesque.
Ann and Greg run away only to find themselves… in front of the entrance to the world of the dead! If they are to free their friends from the terrible spell they are under and get home safely, then their only hope is to find their friends’ souls…

Harvest Moon:A wonderful life
Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, spans an entire lifetime on the farm. All the crop farming, off-the-wall veggies and other insane farm life stuff will be included. The ability to get married and raise a family is also being incorporated into the upcoming game.

Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius
Jimmy Neutron is a 10-year-old boy genius who stars in Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures CGI animated motion picture, Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius.
After occasionally saving the world from total destruction, Jimmy likes to hang out with his robot dog, Goddard, and his best friend, Carl Wheezer. Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius was created by DNA Productions and screenwriter/director Steve Oedekerk whose credits include both Ace Venture movies, The Nutty Professor and Patch Adams. Starring the voices of Martin Short and Patrick Stewart.

Kirbys Tiltn' tumble 2
Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble 2 is the sequel to the Gameboy Color. You roll Kirby around narrow ledges and passages while gathering as many stars as possible before the timer rings. You must maneuver Kirby through tilted obstacles in the levels which even allow you to get him to hop while bumpers much like pinball games allow you to bounce off to various directions. There's also a way where you can unite GameBoy Advance with GameCube for the control on this game.

Monsters Inc: Scream arena

The monsters of Monstropolis learn the power of laughter in Disney/Pixar’s Monsters, Inc. for GameCube. Gameplay features a unique dodge ball-style match set in special stadium arenas where your favorite monsters launch an artillery of “laugh balls” at each other which upon contact will affect each monster differently. In the game, Monsters train and learn how to bring laughter to the children they once scared with the ultimate goal of filling their individual laugh canisters first. The game also features a multi-player mode allowing up to four players.

Monopoly party

When Monopoly Party was first announced as a next-generation title many considered the game would be best suited for one system, GameCube, due to the demographics. But, as with the release of all titles based on large franchises, Monopoly Party was a multiplatform release. Coming from Runecraft and Infogrames, Monopoly Party Uses a new system that allows players to take turns without waiting and gameplay modes supporting up to four-players the digital version seems to be living up to its cardboard ancestor. Monopoly Party will also make use of 3D-themed environments and new properties and tokens not present in the original

Nitrocity

If there’s only one thing racing fans can agree on its that GameCube need more racers. This racing void could be filled in 2003 with Nitrocity from Midway. Based around a simple concept, become “king of the streets”; Nitrocity has players racing from New York to Los Angeles and then to San Francisco across 15 tracks to receive this prestigious award. With illegal street racing as the name of the game and “props” points on the line, details on this game are sure to cause a ruckus as more are released. Nitrocity will be released on all next-generation platforms during 2003.

Powerpuff Girls: Shock of Ages

For years, the industry has broadened its horizons. Appealing to demographics it wouldn’t have given a second thought about five years ago. This new trend has brought forth many new titles, one of them is The Powerpuff Girls: Shock of Ages. Developed by Bam! Entertainment, the game has the Powerpuff Girls trying to save their town, Townsville, after they inadvertently triggered a glitch in the space-time continuum. Battling villains in 3 different time periods, the Poewrpuff Girls must save citizens and rebuild their time machine to return home.

Harvest Moon has been released on the SNES, N64 and gameboy in Europe, so it will get a PAL release for the 'Cube to.

I hope we get Cubeivore, and Kirby's tilt 'n' tumble has been renamed and it is no longer a Kirby game.

Harvest Moon wasn't released in europe on N64 and I'm pretty sure it wasn't released on the SNES either.

Though it should be released on Gamecube me thinks.

Well even if it wasn't, there was a Harvest Moon released in europe for the Playstation, it isn't a Nintendo game so they don't have a say in if it's released or not.
