Late Night Consoling
| Xenosaga Preview, Media, Release Date |
| Sega Arcade Gallery Announced Sega has announced Sega Arcade Gallery, an upcoming GBA compilation that brings together After Burner, Outrun, Space Harrier, and Super Hang On, all of which were designed by Yu Suzuki. Like Sega's other GBA titles, this will be published through THQ. |
| Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles New details from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, the GameCube debut of the FF series, can be found at Cube.IGN tonight. This all comes from the latest issue of the Japanese magazine Famitsu, and IGN also has some scanned in screenshots (although being scanned, the quality isn't spectacular). |
|
| Final Fantasy X-2 Shots Lots of new shots from Final Fantasy X-2, the other officially announced game in the series, are up at GameSpot. |
|
| Zelda Sells in Japan This shouldn't come as any surprise, but The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is selling really well in Japan. Specifically, it moved 400,000 copies in its first week of release. |
| Two Towers Release Date EA has updated their official Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers site with a countdown clock to the release of the GameCube and Xbox versions of the game (thanks PlanetXbox). If you don't want to do the math, the games come out on December 30th. |
|
| GameCube F-Zero Soon? |
|
| The Sims Gold Yes, console gamers will finally know the joy of simslish...the PS2 port of the phenomenally successful The Sims has gone gold. Look for it to hit store shelves on January 14th. |
| Wolfenstein Shots GameSpot has some new shots from Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Operation Resurrection, the PS2 port of the game, as well as new shots from Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Tides of War, the Xbox port. |
Console Game of the Evening: Bubble Bobble for the NES. Definitely a little on the weird side, but a lot of fun, and it paved the way for the many, many, many Bust-a-Move games that came later (and continue to this day).
