Gamers.com is reporting that preliminary release lists for Nintendo of America hint at several previously unannounced titles. The biggest possible game on the list is the mysterious Metroid: Zero Mission for the Game Boy Advance. Another familiar title on the list, Sword of Fire, comes straight from Nintendo's newest Fire Emblem title. Called Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken (translated Sword of Fire; what a coincedence) in Japan, the game is a part of a strategy/RPG series that has never before made it to North America.
Hopefully, we'll be able to let you know more about this as E3 commences on May 14.

E3 hasn't even started and I've already died and gone to heaven! I just knew that IS was going to release another Metroid title for the GBA eventually, but it's great to hear some real news on it! And Fire Emblem!! It's about fucking time, Nintendo!!
I just got the demo in PC Gamer yesterday and from what I have played this game rocks! It's chocked full of various high powered weapons that you can use to rip through hoardes of alien scum!
The graphics are pretty good. They weren't really jaw dropping, like Half-Life 2, but I'd say they are better than most FPSs out right now.
I noticed that the enemies are actually kind of smart. When you try to shoot them they'll run for cover.
Quote:The first images of the upcoming turtle game have hit the web. The game is apparently going to be cell-shaded!
Our Japanese collegues over at Quitter today unveiled the first images of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the next-gen consoles. The site scanned them from an American magazine. No further information was given with the screens.
The screens do unveil that the game will be a cel-shaded game. Quite a good choice as it makes the game look closest to the original cartoon.
Cube-Europe will bring you more on this title as it breaks!
Quote:After a mass of speculation over the weekend and possible hints as to whether or not Metal Gear Solid 3 would be at the 2003 Electronic Entertainment Expo, a Konami of America representative confirmed for IGN today that the game would indeed be there. As to what form the unveiling will take (be it movie, screenshots, dancing bears, or what have you), Konami still has yet confirm.
Quote:According to Computer And Video Games, Nintendo are set to unveil a sequel to it’s mech title, Custom Robo, which will be released in Europe and America aswell as in Japan. Custom Robo, which has already spawned a sequel in Japan, Custom Robo V2, has never seen light of day outside the land of the rising sun. The games, mech battling affairs with RPG elements, were highly praised by the Japanese press.
The new title is set to be LAN compatible, and that will be the title's emphasised feature. C&VG explain that the title will be showcased at E3, we will have more on this then.
I think this will be the first time a Custom Robo game has ever been released over here. Does this bode well for other Japan-only series?
