No, not *our* Tony, Tony Hawks, the skateboarder person.

After being denied for the Gamecube, a mess up in advertising has proved that it is indeed coming to the Gamecube...

So that's good news. But what else does this mean?

Firstly, games aren't being announced for Gamecube, when they ARE in development. This is probably because of Nintendo's NDAs, which means that anyone who even slightly works with them, has to keep their mouth shut until Nintendo say they can speak.

Is this a bad thing? Yes and no. It hypes the game up, and will impress a lot of people at E3. And it's unfortunate because they can't advertise the game... at least not until E3 and there after, anyway.

Then the names Square and Konami spring to mind... but we'll have to wait and see.

Add this to the fact that Sonic Team, the Rare of Sega, are now heavily supporting the Gamecube, makes 25 days seem longer than it really is...

When the gamecube was first announced I wasn't very interested in it. It is now sounding better and better everyday I hear some news about it.
