Thanks to Ivan for this news post:

Yeah you bet. Another awesome level is soon to be added (Probably a Tuesday as usual while Japanese people sleep). If I can manage to get a 4 player game, for some backup, I can manage to take a few pictures and slam together a few C-mode guides for Ep II. Sadly, no one I know very well even plays Ep II or even online for that matter. -.-
I also have some great pictures from Sonic Team Here have a look! If you'd like to help me try playing this let me know, I just have to finish the second stage first. ^_^

Post your feedback here, thanks!

I'd also like to apologise to everyone for not updating the card database and guides. I've been a bit pre-occupied recently with things, and should get back to normal soon =).

This month's issue of NP has a 4 page long article on PSO III, as well as a poster, as well as an interview with Yuji Naka! He comments on the state of gaming, the future of the Phantasy Star series, and on NiGHTS into Dreams. If you live in America, it's worth picking up just for the poster. It has Sil'fer on the front, along with what looks like a Hildebear and a wolf in the background.

Thanks to grandadmiral2 for the news.

We've got a few new guides on the site you might want to take a look at:

Valentine's Quest - All because the lady loves stuffing her face...
Enemy Part Conversions - Found a Rappy's Wing? Well now you know what to do with it.
General Card Information - Everything you need to know about cards. Also check out our card gallery guides.
Card Updates - Since ST are patching any problems with cards, we've created a handy guide, so you can see what cards have been updated.

Just thought I'd let you know in case you hadn't already noticed :)

We have closed the poll and the results are...
Out of 117 votes 30 of us like to play on US servers, 26 of us like to play on UK servers, only 13 of us like to play on JP servers, 7 of us like to play on the 50Hz servers and an amazing 41 of us ain't even online!

There is now a new poll up asking you "What is your favorite online quest"

Sorry about the quality of these, they were taken with a digicam after all ^_^.

2004 is to be an exciting year for Nintendo Gamecube owners as there's much to look forward too!

The franchises we all love including Mario, Donkey Kong, Final Fantasy, Pokemon, Metroid, Metal Gear Solid, and many more are to return this year in games made and being released exclusively for the Gamecube console. Mr. Miyamoto-san himself stated not long ago that games such as Metroid Prime 2, Geist, and a new Legend of Zelda game would all make it too European shores before the end of 2004!!!

To this end, i have recently compiled a release date list of all release date lists naming almost 50 games with an approximate release date (unless confirmed) for them all! By doing this, you can set yourself the amount you need to save in advance, get out a hat and guitar and sit in the streets, or make a start on that christmas list of yours to ensure you don't miss a single one!

Nikkei Sangyou Shinbun, a well-known Japanese journalist, recently reported that Sega has confirmed that they will be making games for the Nintendo DS system. There is no information about what games are in for development at the present, but this is great news for people interested in the Nintendo DS! Maybe we could see a new Phantasy Star game, released on Nintendo’s upcoming handheld console. Only the future can tell

Thank you to GamecubeNetwork for this information

With Valentines Day just around the corner, Sonic Team today announced that the lobbies will be changed to Valentines themed lobbies. While love is in the air and you just couldn’t give a damn (joking ), you can have the chance to take part in the new Valentines Event quest. This quest is only available for Female characters in the game and only one player can participate. Galleons Shop will also be updated in time with the new quest, to gain access to certain items.

The quest will be up from Tuesday 10th February – Tuesday 17th February. Server Maintenance will take place on Tuesday, 10th February between 14:00pm and 17:00pm JP time, to add the quests to the servers. So please do not connect to the servers during this period of time. More info and guides will be available soon...

The Director of Phantasy Star Online, Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution, Yojiru Ogawa from Sonic Team (SEGA), has been interviewed by GameSpy, speaking out on the newest game in the series.

Amongst the set of questions asked, Mr. Ogawa talks about such things as, why it was made with the approach to cards, how much is left in the series of Phantasy Star Online, and why they chose to develop for Gamecube first instead of every other more online compatible console.

Phantasy Star Online, Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution comes out for the Nintendo Gamecube very soon in America (NTSC), and in Europe (PAL) sometime this Summer (2004). Available now in Japan.
