Here's an odd development...Nintendo, which just a short while ago was practically mortal enemies of SquareSoft, has announced that they will be publishing SquareEnix's three Game Boy Advance and GameCube titles. Specifically that's Final Fantasy Tactics Advance and Seiken Densetsu (which will be called Sword of Mana here) for GBA and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for GameCube. Nintendo publishing Final Fantasy games? What's next Super Mario RPG 2? Ooooh...I hope so.

	Metroid Prime Sequel Teaser at E3 According to IGN, a teaser for the Metroid Prime sequel that's in development at Retro Studios will be shown at E3. The game won't be playable, and it's very likely that this will only be a very short non-gameplay teaser. But hey, it's something!

	How Cars are Scanned for Gran Turismo 4 This article at TVR Car Club explains how one classic car collector had his 1971 Series 3 Vixen scanned in for use in Gran Turismo 4. If you're curious about how they get that kind of accuracy, you'll find this fascinating (thanks -TKF-).

	Sega's Crawling with Worms If you happen to notice something odd on the official Worms 3D site (besides the cute looking creature with the big weapons), it's because of that Sega logo down at the bottom, as Sega Europe has picked up the rights to publish the game in Europe and North America. It will be released for all thre consoles and PC later this year.
