GameCube 2 Announced
Nintendo made a brief comment in regards to the development of the GameCube 2. They claimed that they are now a company that is focused on taking risks, and that they are already well into working on a "GameCube 2." They also promised that this time no one will have a head start on the company; we assume they mean that they will be first to market or at least launch at the same time as the competition. They claim that next generation they will do it "their way."
Nintendo not worried about Playstation Portable
The press event continues with some Q & A from Nintendo. Sony just had their conference and they announced their entry into the handheld market with the PSP (PlayStation Portable). Nintendo says it's not worried at all.
Q: With the announcement of the PSP, what will GBA have to do to hold the market?
A: We just heard the announcement, and their launch date is Q4 2004 with no price point yet. It seems very Sony-like to me. Nintendo is in control of the handheld market, so we're not worrying about it. We'll just keep on innovating in games.
Q: If Nintendo pursues its current strategy, are you comfortable with where you are or do you want to be the leader?
A: The more our competitors move away from gaming, the stronger we will get for sticking with pure gaming.

Some games that were announced include Pokemon Collisseum, Pokemon Channel: Together with Pikachu, Mario Party 5, Pac Man, and it's rumored that The Legend of Zelda: The Four Swords may be making its way to GameCube...
