Sega announced today that it plans to bring an initial 10 titles to Nintendo\'s next-generation GameCube console. The company\'s first three GameCube offerings include Phantasy Star Online Version 2, Super Monkey Ball and Virtua Striker 3 Version 2002.

"We will be a major player on GameCube," said Charles Bellfield, Sega\'s vice president of marketing and corporate affairs, in an IGN conference call. "We have a relationship with Nintendo to deliver online content through GameCube with Phantasy Star Online as the first example. We\'ll be looking to extend our expertise with Nintendo GameCube in the online world."

Furthermore, the company will bring its acclaimed sports games to Nintendo\'s next-generation console as well, though no details have been made official yet. "We will continue to invest in what we refer to as \'all sports, all platforms\' with our strategy," said Bellfield. "We enjoy the challenge of going against our competitors specifically in the sports arena. And we enjoy going against all other publishers in a sports arena on all platforms. We believe the games that we\'ll be delivering here will far exceed those of our competitors."

Bellfield also commented that that Sega may indeed show some of the still-secret other GameCube projects at its booth beginning on Thursday.

More as it develops.

Good news for Nintendo fans.

Whats that about secret GameCube projects?

In addition to the best game ever (PSO!!!), GC will also be home to Sonic.

If GC gets an exclusive version of PSO, Nintendo will get my money.

There was talk awhile back about a "secret" Nintendo/Sega RPG (not mascots or anything, just the two developers).  That might still be something...
