Namco & Nintendo News

Nintendo and Namco today issued further details on the deal that has brought a new Starfox title to the Gamecube. A total of six titles are due for the Gamecube from Namco by the end of 2003, additionally eight titles will make it to the GameBoy Advance before the end of 2002. <br /> <br /> <b>Gamecube</b> <br /> <ul> <br /> <li>Mr.Driller (working title) – November 2002 <br /> <li>Soul Calibur 2 – January 2003 <br /> <li>Ridge Racer Racing Game (title to be announced) – March 2003 <br /> <li>Starfox GC (working title) – April 2003 <br /> <li>Tales of Phantasia GCN (title to be announced) – July 2003 <br /> <li>Original RPG (title to be announced) – December 2003 <br /> </ul> <br /> <br /> <b>GameBoy Advance</b> <br /> <ul> <br /> <li>Family Tennis Advance – June 2002 <br /> <li>Famista Advance – June 2002 <br /> <li>Mr. Driller Ace – August 2002 <br /> <li>Klonoa of the Wind G2 – August 2002 <br /> <li>Tales of the World: Narikiri Dungeon 2 – October 2002 <br /> <li>Klonoa of the Wind (title to be announced) – November 2002 <br /> <li>Puzzle Game (title to be announced) – December 2002 <br /> <li>Tales of Phantasia – December 2002 <br /> </ul> <br /> <br /> Japanese Release Dates Shown. <br /> <br /> A very strong line-up and a suggestion of an increasingly important relationship between the two companies. The Mr.Driller titles should make use of the GC-GBA connectivity, whilst it seems we’ll have to wait until 2003 at least to see Namco’s strongest line-up for the GameCube. <br />
