You'll have to wait a couple weeks longer to get your hands on your Cube.

August 22, 2001


The Nintendo GameCube has been delayed until November 18th in North America, according to Nintendo's Spaceworld Press Kit. This shocking news comes after the system was announced for a November 5th release date. This places the GameCube about two weeks later than it's original release date as well as two weeks after the launch of Microsoft's Xbox console that hits streets on November 8th.

Also has anyone seen the garbage that is Mario Sunshine and Zelda. complete garbage

You got your anime in my Zelda! You got your Zelda in my anime! Together they taste like crap. Nothing against Zelda, nothing against Anime (which I think rocks) but that game looks pretty damned bad.

And looking at all the technology of Mario Sunshine, how far graphics have come, how detailed the houses are, how far we, in a video game culture have come- do any of you, does anyone really, feel the same excitement watching or evem playing that as you did when you got the first racoon leaf in Mario Three, ran across the platform, dodged the Koopa Troopa, and flew at the beginning of level 1, area 1?

i'm a loyal nintendo fan, but now i'm very disappointed. i'm sure the zelda game will be great, but those cartoony graphics are just too fucking much. shit, why coulnd't it look like what was previewed before??

and the delay is even worse, that will only boost that garbage xbox sales. shit.

at least there are many other GC games i'm looking forward to.

My system of choice has always been the big N, but what the fuck happened to those awesome Zelda screens from last May? What the fuck is up with that new Zelda game. Zelda games rule. I reallly like anime. But together? eh. And wasn't the new Mario game supposed to be more adult oriented? Then great fucking name...

Mario Sunshine sounds like an american Translation of a Japense Game Show. Super Happy Fun Mario SUnshine Hour!!

I just hope if they make a Megaman game on this system they do it right. Imagine how cool a fully animated 3-D robot death scene would be?

this is a really stupid move by nintendo in my opinion for 2 reasons

1. they obviously have the edge pricewise as the gamecube retails at 200 dollars while the xbox is coming out for 300 dollars, its just common sense

2. also nintendo has the more recognizable titles and reputation, thought they kicked themselves in the ass with the n64, they still have the names to drive sales with, and microsoft doesnt have anything too highly recognizable

that is all

1) As far as I've heard, the shots of Link that have gotten out so far are Link as a child. Supposedly he grows up throughout the game, complete with an update to his image.

2) Mario Sunshine does sound gay, but if Nintendo stays as kid-oriented as they've been, it's not going anywhere.

3) Nintendo is getting really cocky, but it might still be okay for them. Xbox is $100 more. GC will probably hook every child (as N64 did) - especially since they've already announced a Pokemon game. PS2 and XBox will probably be the popular choice among the real gamers (even with PS2's choppy-shit graphics, sorry supporters), and GC will be a kiddie system even if Nintendo says it won't.
