E3, LOS ANGELES - May 14, 2003. — Capcom®, a worldwide leading publisher and developer of video games, today revealed further details of P.N.03, a bold approach to the action genre for the Nintendo GameCube™. Set within futuristic sci-fi environments, players clash with complex enemy robots and mechs in a mercenary operation to rid a colonial planet of a menace that has turned the region into a killing field. Take control of Vanessa Z. Schneider and lead her though a series of intense missions to disarm the formidable threat, causing mech carnage as she pursues the truth utilizing nothing but her laser wielding hands.
