Though I never played them, Lost Kingdoms 1 and 2 for GC got good reviews here at gamespot. Every else has been covered for GC, unless you count Pokemon colosseum.

I shouldnt get my hopes up, but thats some good news. Rogue Squadron has always been great, and deserves another sequel. Just no on foot missions please.

"Confirming weeks of speculation, Microsoft has officially announced the Zune HD. The specs -- a 3.3 inch OLED touchscreen, the ability to output in HD, an HD Radio receiver, a full-screen web browser and built-in Wi-Fi -- are pretty impressive, but perhaps the most exciting tidbit is that the Zune marketplace will be fully integrated into Xbox and Xbox Live as a replacement for the current Live video service."

Chris Stephenson, GM of consumer marketing for the TV, Video and Music Business at Microsoft, all but confirmed that gaming is definitely on the agenda.

"Gaming is a big opportunity for us," he said. "We're not announcing the specifics around our gaming plans for Zune HD right now, but it is definitely an area that we have done some work in...there is clearly a great opportunity for us to be a major player in that market."

Wow.

Even though I never played them, I would probably say the SOCOM games. They were pretty much sonys reaction to the increasing online focus of the x-box. There was 3 of them I think, and considering there were one of the few exclusive sony online games, I would not be suprised if it still had a somewhat decent player base.

Is it just me, or was this game completly under the radar? The Wii is constantly getting bashed for no hardcore games, and a new contra game gets developed and released, and no one even notices. And isn't contra notorious for being hardcore? Or at least hard? I mean, I know its wii ware, but even still...

Contra ReBirth was released in Japan today. Heres a video.

It hasn't been announced in the US yet. Any thoughts?

Why is the gamecube always shortened to GCN? What does it stand for? I thought it might stand for Nintendo, but its nintendo gamecube, not gamecube nintendo... right?

There it is.

Heres the wikipedia page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirby_(video_game)

But all you really need to see is the first paragraph:

Kirby (tentative title) is a platforming video game developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for Nintendo's Wii video game console (although it was originally planned for the Nintendo GameCube). The game has yet to be officially unveiled for the Wii and details are sketchy. It is currently scheduled for release in North America and Japan. This game also used the Super Smash Bros Melee engine, but is believed to be still on track for a release in Japan.

Super Mario 128. Though whether it was a gamecube demo or a planned game still kind of confuses me.

Edit: Also, this Kirby game that was supposed to come out for the gamecube.

I thought this was a late april fools joke, because it reminded me so much of the Lego Halo april Fools story from EGM last year. Then I remembered EGM was no more...
