Software Scheduled to Ship for GCN in 2001
Title Publisher Estimated Date MSRP
SSX Tricky EA 11/15/01 $49.95
Crazy Taxi Acclaim 11/15/01 $49.95
Phantasy Star Online Version 2 Sega 12/15/01 $49.95
Resident Evil 0 Capcom November / December $49.95

Electronic Arts has verified to us that its SSX Tricky will ship for GameCube in "mid-November." Acclaim's Crazy Taxi showed up on one of the company's internal release lists as a November release recently. Sega has not announced an official release date for Phantasy Star Online Version 2 for GCN, but the game is currently showing up on Electronics Boutique release lists for a December debut. This, however, may change. We expect to know more from the coming Space World show. Finally, Capcom has repeatedly said it plans to deliver Resident Evil 0 as a launch title in Japan, which leads us to believe that it could very well be ready for a release in the US in November.
