A Japanese site has some new pics of Rockman EXE 3 up, including what looks like one of the new navis - apparently an electric type. Heres what the translator says:
Although details, such as a new system and a scenario, are unknown at present, existence of "a new tip", "a new enemy", a "mystery organization", etc. can peep through the picture exhibited this time at them. Wait for a future follow-up!

Capcom hosted a booth dedicated to the 15th anniversary of Mega Man at the World Hobby Fair in Tokyo. Besides classic games and memorabilia, the exhibit featured a playable version of the new GBA port of Rockman & Forte.

Capcom's website is now accepting preorders of Mega Man Zero!
Famitsu magazine has revealed some new info on the upcoming GBA title. The game's zones include Leaf Forest (the introductory zone), Hot Crater, and an unnamed, colorful music-themed zone. The level art is VERY impressive and just as stylized as that of any of the classic Sonic games.
IGN Pocket is also reporting that the game is apparently being developed by DIMPs, just like the first Sonic Advance.
Another heads up from Zifei. There's a new interview with Yuji Naka on the net, but it doesn't have to do with Sonic Team. Naka won a contest held by Japanese car dealer Cornes to promote their new "instant delivery" Ferrari service. The interview is here, but it's in Japanese, so have a translator ready. Xen Gamers has a summary of the details here.
BIG thanks to Shadow, who sent me a virtually complete transcript of everything said in the Ken Penders chat. Click the link to read it. Highlights will be posted later for those of you who don't want to read the whole thing.
An "industry insider" has given a site called "GameCube Deluxe" similar info to what we reported several days ago.
This doesn't *PROVE* the rumor, but unless GameCube Deluxe reads this site or got it from the same insider who tipped off Zifei (a developer who has given Zifei info in the past), then that Naka camera boast ("the best camera system ever seen in any platformer ever") is hard to dismiss as a coincidence.

Chaotix Beta Greenboard & Screenshot
The URL to this site was posted here by someone named "Pokr." It's well-known that Mighty's sprites in Chaotix were edited from Sonic sprites. Well, this site says that Sonic was supposed to be in Chaotix all along. Normally, I'd dismiss this as a hoax, because some elements of what's claimed on the site don't seem very credible (and I doubt the game would say "featuring Knuckles The Echidna" if Sonic was in it, or have the U.S. Sega slogan in a beta version), but that screenshot is rather convincing. I'll leave it up to the reader to decide.
In case you saw the Sonic Advance 2 screenshots here, they've been revealed as a hoax by the person who made them. It's actually a working fan game designed as a hoax.
