E3 2001: News Stories Archive: Day 1 DVD Playing GameCube To US in 2002/2003! You read it right, Yahoo reports Nintendo and Matsushita have announced that the GameCube which can play DVD movies (or vise-versa) will be released in the United States sometime in the 2002/2003 business year. This means that those Sony and Microsoft propaganda spewers can now shut the hell up. Unlike the PS2, the DVD player will not be sub-par, it will have the same options and clarity as a standard DVD player. But it does come at a cost. Though the price has not yet been set as of now, it is expected it will be about $100 more than the standard GameCube, which will be at most $200 at launch, so it should be around $300 when it's released. For those who don't know, Matsushita (better known as Panasonic in the US) is Nintendo's partner which helped develop the GameCube's CAV Optical Disc system. GBA/NGC Screenshots Here's some screenshots for GameCube and GameBoy Advance games! GameCube Screenshots GameBoy Advance Screenshots More as they come in today! Brief update, nothing big has happened, yet, but there are still five more hours of show. Nintendo & Online Games Sega Has 10! F-Zero GC Confirmed! GC Gets Eight Players It should be really interesting to see what it will be like to have eight players at the same time on the same screen. This is going to be hella cool! Turok Evolution Details "Turok Evolution is an exciting blend of sophisticated technological advancement and raw, primal ferocity. We have placed a huge emphasis on the return of the Dinosaur Hunter, and fans of the series will see these efforts come to life as they explore lush environments teeming with prehistoric life all while taking part in an epic story in the war-torn Lost Lands. In terms of game play, visuals, story line and character development, Turok Evolution represents a dedication on behalf of the entire development team that we are certain Turok fans and gamers everywhere will love." said Dave Dienstbier, creative director of Acclaim Studios Austin. Mario Game? Snoop's Nintendo @ E3 Impressions: Day Two Another day another E3, but the only difference than yesterday is there was more info, and some first real information on third-parties and Nintendo. Today we learned about a heap of new titles, including F-Zero GC, Phantasy Star Online Version 2, and "Perfect Dark 2." All of these games will surely be hits for the GameCube, and will make the GameCube a major player. But I was dissappointed that we didn't see a Zelda game for GameCube or Pokemon games. My guess is they didn't show them because they aren't far enough into development, which is acceptable. It's only three months away till SpaceWorld 2001, and I think that show will have more info on GameCube games ten fold All of the titles being shown this year at E3 were amazing though, according to everyone. Pikmin was a huge surprise, mixing strategy and action elements, and Rogue Leader is currently THE game to see. But one can only imagine what we will see in three short months when Nintendo lets the preverbial dogs out. Don't forget to check out our GameCube screenshots archive and our GameBoy Advance screenshots archive. We have added dozens of new screenshots today, and there are more to come! We should have screenshots for four more GBA games and two more GameCube games very soon, as they are currently sitting in Scoots' e-mail box *cough*. Well, two more days of E3 await, and one can only imagine what we'll see.
