From IGN Cube:

Earlier today at a press conference in Japan, Capcom Entertainment unveiled five brand new and totally exclusive GameCube titles. The games, which range from the long awaited Resident Evil 4 to a spectacularly dark, cool original game by Shinji Mikami called Product Number 03 (or P.N.03), all look amazing. We'll have more detailed information on these games soon, but in the meantime here are the basics.

hey im totally down for RE4. Leon's back which is cool but honestly i want Barry to tackle his own game.

Ouch, did you guys check out those screenshots of Res Evil 4? Leon's got a sweet Squall vibe going on there. The shot of him in the rain looked really freakin' awesome...

Hey now! Leon Kennedy is the bomb!

Seriously though, he is my favorite character in the RE series and its A-W-E-S-O-M-E to have him back in a new game!!

 

[Mark Evans]

That's why I said "sweet" Squall vibe instead of, say, "morally reprehensible and should be crushed under the boots of zombies" Squall vibe
Hopefully that bodes well for some of Res Evil 2's characters to show up at some point.
Leon is tied with Jill Valentine (Nemesis edition, I really can't stand that beret) as my favorite playable Res Evil main character.
The thought of this game taking place 'deep within the Umbrella corporation' is beyond awesome. It makes sense too, now that Umbrella has a competitor they can pretty much be wiped out and the series STILL has a main baddy (doubly so since you-know-who works for them now).

Link Removed has updated with some short videos (currently Insider only) and some screenshots (open to everyone) of these games. And I must say they all look very impressive.
Resdient Evil 4 (no release date) - Wow! Fan favorite Leon Kennedy returns! All those nice looking pre-rendered scenes from RE remake and RE0 are now fully realized in 3D. Stunning!

Viewtiful Joe (Spring 2003) - First we get Contra on PS2 from Konami, now Capcom dips back into old-school side scrolling madness. This game must be seen in motion to appreciate the beauty of the graphics.

Dead Phoenix (Summer 2003) - This game looks similar to Panzer Dragoon for Xbox. Except unlike the "on-rails" gameplay of PD, Dead Phoenix appears to be a "free roaming" shooter where you can go anywhere.
Killer 7 (Winter 2003) - Watching the video of this game I got a Cowboy Bebop vibe. Like the CB anime, the animation of Killer 7 oozes with style and the short peek of the insane violence looked nice as well!
P.N.03 (Spring 2003) - From the mind of Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, this game appears to be a futuristic Devil May Cry!

These games, plus Sega's F-Zero, Namco's Starfox Armada, Nintendo's Zelda, Mario Kart, etc. are making 2003 seem like it's going to be a great year for Gamecube owners!

Word and rumor going around that Resident Evil 4 may include some for of First Person view/mode ala Metal Gear solid. (Hopefully they will allow you to move in FP). Again just some minor rumors that are stirring the videogaming pot.

Killer 7 looks like great fun to me. Cel Shaded blood and violence. It sounds kind of like Eternal Darkness in the way that there are multiple personalities that the main character will live through.

I can only hope that all of these games hit us within the next year or so. Looks like a great Gamecube year to me as well.

Aren't there supposed to be even more GameCube games coming out from Capcom besides these? Like the MegaMan Battle Network based one?

Even so, this is pretty freakin' amazing for Nintendo.

are you guys sure res evil 4 is for gcube?

 

[Kelley_B]

Yes Biohazard 4 is for the GameCube. It is part of the exclusive deal that Capcom and Nintendo signed last year which included Biohazard 0, the Biohazard remakes, and Biohazard 4.

 

[BrianB]

are you guys sure res evil 4 is for gcube?

Yes. Which part of the quote at the top didn't you understand, Felix? "Capcom today announced 5 brand new & exclusive GC games, including Resident Evil 4".

 

[Romier S]

The announced titles are certainly an interesting bunch to say the least, but their GC exclusivity may not be a sure thing. Mikami stated that of the five, only RE4 will be exclusive to Nintendo's machine, with the fate of the other four still up in the air. All dates are tentative -- and relate to Japanese releases, only. More as it comes.

Can;t comment as to the validity of that statement but thought it was interesting none the less. Resident Evil 4 of course is going no where.
While I mention RE$, did anyone else download the movie posted above? The game looks astonishingly beautiful and you can see that there is indeed a first person view in the game. I can;t wait for the game! (I just bought Zero) I have to say that Capcom just knows how to harness the power out of all of these systems.
