rumble.gif Linklog style, a bunch of stuff I've missed over the last several weeks...or more.

The PS2 version of The RumbleFish will have a new character - Hazama, a secretary.

French site Dream Storming has a G.Rev interview which is rather interesting, if only for the revelation that the company consists of a whole five people.

The rumored Native (canceled Jaguar game) port to Dreamcast, is not actually to be a port at all, but something very similar to Native. That this rumor got started by someone working on the project is rather confusing, but this latest word comes from Duranik, the fellow actually doing the coding.

Some Famitsu bits - According to some who have seen the Twinkle Star Sprites screens, there are some new enemies. At the very least, this should be a remix of the original, if not a proper sequel.
Namco is releasing a PS2 classics collection, but it's a bit more modern this time, including Tekken, Klonoa, Ace Combat 2, Ridge Racer, and Mr. Driller. Thanks to Riskbreaker.

Soul Calibur III is apparently going to be PS2 exclusive, in a rather unfortunate move. Hopefully it will only remain exclusive for a short time, as it would be nice to see them push the graphics forward a bit.

Holiday mentions that Makai Kingdom's US trailer is up at Game Trailers.

You've all surely heard it, but Sega renewed the Gunstar Heroes license on the 10th or March. Maybe they'll just make it into a pachinko game for cellphones, who knows.

Tokimeki Memorial Online videos are now available. Lock up your daughters!

Sengoku Basara, Capcom's Dynasty Warriors-like game has an official site. Fewer characters, more specials.

For those interested in Toshio Iwai (Electroplankton, SimTunes), his personal website can be found here. Thanks to Tobias for that.

To correct a previous error, Rajiurgi is on Naomi board, not the Type-X as previously reported.

Last - new cellphone skin - MGS 3.
