December 16^th, 2002 (12:00am) - Cubenation.com has revealed that Nintendo’s Megaton announcement, or so they say. Within the next 48 hours Nintendo will hold a press conference; at this press conference they will reveal the “Megaton” announcement. According to Cubenation.com the “Megaton” announcement is not the purchase of big third party developers such as Sega or Capcom but infact another medley of big game and hardware announcements. Capcom, once again, is expected to reveal three to five new and exclusive GameCube titles (not the same ones revealed a few weeks ago) and Nintendo itself will unveil a full fledged Pokemon RPG for the GameCube. This Pokemon GameCube title will be developed by Q funded, exclusive Nintendo developer Genius Sonority, a developer comprised of many ex-Dragon Quest team members. That’s not all though, an announcement concerning the GBA is planned (most likely a back lit version) and Nintendo’s new advertising campaign for 2003.

My Thoughts:
Like it or not, a Pokemon RPG for the GameCube would skyrocket GameCube sales. Just take a look how well Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire are performing in Japan, in less than a month those titles have managed to sell at least 1 million units a piece.
