We know when, where, what games, and what free stuff you can get! Who loves ya' baby?

Advance Team was somewhere in Washington D.C. last weekend. We tried and tried and tried but couldn't track them down. Justin was very upset and started throwing things. It's was a little scary. Max started crying. Kidding.

Anyhoo...PGC has tracked down one of our Nintendo spies, who is actually a secret member inside Advance Team. He gave us the entire scoop on where Advance Team will be this weekend in Philly!

In other news, PGC get's noticed by none other than Blue over at Blue's News. We can't help but revel in what feels like mainstream coverage ...

While nothing big to most of you, we're sure, someone tipped Blue off to the fact that not only do we exist, but that we post some pretty cool and informative stuff.

Sure enough, in today's Consolation section, right at the end, is a linky-dinky to PGC and our post about Nintendo's stance on Emulation.

What's better than a GBA? A free GBA!

You may have seen this on TV - you can stop by the MuchMusic.com contest page, fill out a form, and have a chance to win 1 of 50 Game Boy Advance systems. Check the rules, though - it's only open to Canadian residents.

Online video of PGC's own Kosta Andreadis and fellow aussie Stephen Farrelly's (Nintendo Gamer magazine) interview with Denis Dyack (head honcho at Silicon Knights) is available for download.

Denis Dyack is not exactly a man of few words, so he is always too happy to speak with gamers or media about his company's upcoming products. As representatives of Australia's now defunct N64 Gamer magazine (don't worry its only been given a new name), Stephen Farrelly (editor) and myself (senior writer) took a few minutes to talk with Denis Dyack.

IGNCube has barely anything to go on, except for a very telling screenshot from SSBM showing Pit from Kid Icarus! Read on ...

While we already are seeing some old 8-bit friends on GameCube in the form of the Ice Climbers in Super Smash Bros. Melee, IGNCube has revealed yet another potential playable character in Pit.

As the screenshot suggests, Pit is a trophy in the game, and if our theory about trophies won becoming... Read more...

And lo, the large horde of PSO fans simultaneously cry "BLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH".

Ugh. Talk about leaving a bad taste in your mouth. IGNDC has found out that the upgrade to the popular online game, will in fact require people to pay a fee to play. It is unknown how much players will have to pay for the privilidge of playing, although owners of the original PSO will still enjoy unlimited play for the exact price of nothing.

Creepy. That's all you can say. And eerie. Creepy and eerie. That's it.

Silicon Knights has updated their website with some knew Eternal Darkness desktop art and screen savers!

Nothing wrong with a little love from Silicon Knights! Something to tide you over until ED releases with GameCube this November.

Also, while you're there...check out some of the other updates. We paid Denis a whole TWO DOLLARS to be listed under IGN!

We've called almost every store in AMERICA! Well not quite, but we've got new dates for when you could see some titles early! THPS2 early! HELL YEAH!

Yes it’s true! If you have an import GBA you could get some titles early. As we reported earlier, some Wal Mart and Toys R’ Us stores already have received Earthworm Jim , Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure, and Iridion -3D-. Some stores are selling early, and some are not. Make phone calls to make sure your local store has them in stock and is willing to sell.

Mike S found something special at his local Wal*Mart today!

It's a bit of an odd story, actually. I had finally decided to buy one of the Zelda Oracle games, for fear of missing out on something big. I heard in PlanetChat that Best Buy had a good deal on them. So I high-tailed it down there. They didn't have either Oracle game. Next I tried Target, same thing.... Read more...

What's going on with the video? Who's making it? Will it be ready soon? We answer these questions and make a small call for help!

Billy asked me to do an “E3 Video Update” and one is certainly needed! Many people are asking us what’s up and as potential customers, you have a right to know!

Lately, I’ve been putting a lot of time into the E3 video, as we want to get it produced and into your eager little hands... Read more...

What many consider the "American arm" of Game Arts, Working Designs is hinting at GC support. LUNAR III OH YEAH!

Take a look at this press release from WD's site:

Working Designs also discussed their strategy for next generation systems, highlighting their support of the PlayStation 2 game console and their interest in GameCube publishing. Working Designs president Victor Ireland stated, "We are extremely... Read more...

We’ve been excited about rumors of a new Spy Hunter game for some time. At E3, we saw it. We’ve got oodles info on this uber cool game, even though it’s just for PS2, for now…

If you’ve given our massive games list a gander, you may have caught the listing for Spy Hunter. The entry refers to a next-gen Spy Hunter, a game that was rumored to be in the making years ago by Midway, then there was word it might be in development for “Dolphin.” Soon after, word leaked...

A couple different things have been going around, so here’s some solid info on the next blood-spilling, spine ripping installment of Mortal Kombat.

Last week, the Younger Plumber posted this story regarding the fifth installment of Mortal Kombat. I knocked the story off the front page (“C’mon TYP, we confirmed this ages ago”) yet the press release was recent and the report was being posted elsewhere. This caused a couple people actually write in asking about what was up with Mortal Kombat 5 on GameCube.

...and hoo boy do they have some GC lovin to spread around!

Tendo Box's Japanese correspondant Steven Langhorn regales us all with an interview from the latest Famitsu, with Yuji Naka of Sonic Team, and Toshiro Nagoshi of Amusement Vision.

Yuji Naka: (laughs) I want to do something interesting now because I'm working on GameCube.

Famitsu: Will it be possible to play Dreamcast users [on the GC port of PSO]?

Nintendo's latest issue of Nintendo Power doesn't just talk about the upcoming Nintendo titles. Nintendo talks frank about the emulation scene as well ...

In Volume 145 of Nintendo Power magazine, there is a letter to NP talking about emulation (a follow-up to a question from Volume 143). The author basically says that copying a ROM that you own is legal, and brings up the "24 hours rule. Lastly, they also suggest that it's OK to copy games if they are not available in stores any longer (and are, therefore, public domain). Here's Nintendo's response, in it's entirety:

NCL's Director and General Manager Satoru Iwata talks about online gaming, Super Smash Brothers Melee, SpaceWorld and more!

The editors over at IGNcube recently had the chance to sit down with a few good men over at Nintendo, mainly Mr. Iwata, Perrin Kaplan, and Jim Merrick. The chat revealed a few details about Nintendo's upcoming online strategy, among other things.

Iwata mentioned that Sega had approached him,... Read more...

Nintendo's "Main" man sits down for an interview with c|net. See what he has to say.

Nintendo's Executive VP, Peter Main, recently sat down with David Becker of c|net News.com to talk about Nintendo's stance on the next generation of video games. The interview is quite good and talks about a wide scope of topics. Everything from handheld gaming to what Mr. Main thinks is totally wrong with the industry.

Mike S got his new NP issue today, but something is missing.

I've been waiting for the June issue of NP for quite some time now. According to the May issue, all subscribers were to receive a free copy of Nintendo's new magazine, Nintendo Power Advance. Well, I sure didn't. The new NP is looking slick. The logo has changed (actually, it changed a few issues... Read more...
