Many games have shipped for GameCube and Game Boy Advance today.

Majesco released three Bomberman games. "Bomberman Generation" for GameCube includes a cel-shaded adventure mode, as well as the classic Bomberman puzzle game. I remember the commercial for the N64 Bomberman game that sang new words to the Spider-Man TV theme, but it would probably just confuse people if they brought that back today.

Majesco also released "Bomberman Max 2: Blue Advance" and "Red Advance," which work together using a link cable. Too bad they don't interact with the GameCube version. For example, it would be cool to have an invisible match, where you can only view where your character is on your GBA and you can only see where the bombs are on the TV screen. THAT would have you looking frantically back and forth.

In other shipping news, THQ shipped "Scooby Doo," based on some upcoming movie, I think "Minority Report," for the GBA. Let's hope Matthew Lillard is convincing as a sprite, although I don't see it happening... (to be fair, this is the first movie where it looks like he's doing a good job)

Finally, Activision shipped "Lost Kingdoms" for the GameCube. The card-based RPG is the first of its kind for GameCube. If another company had made it, there would have been an hour-long FMV of a deck of cards, but it would have been the most beautiful deck of cards ever...

Check out all of these games today.
