"Shenmue? Gamecube? Yu Suzuki? Argh! It's all too confusing."

If there's one game I'd like to see on Ninty's beautiful Cube, it's gotta be Shenmue. I borrowed it off a friend and thought it was a trully epic game and who's home should be on Gamecube. Unfortunately, my 'friend' wouldn't let me have disc 2 or 3 after I completed disc 1... I almost cried when Ryo left on the yellow bus....
Anyway, any hopes of such a title on the Nintendo machine were initially shattered, seeing as the man behind the game (Yu Suzuki) and his development team (AM2) decided to concentrate their efforts on PS2 with a conversion of Virtua Fighter 4. However, in a recent interview with the man himself, he clearly stated "I am beyond impressed with Nintendo GameCube, more so than the other consoles." He also stated that his team are working on several Gamecube projects. Oh, please let it be Shenmue, pleeeeeeeeaasseeee!

I mean the surface of a CD and the surface of a DVD.

Well, they don't look the same, they're 7cm smaller in diameter.

That's because they are DVDs not CDs. They may look the same, but BIG difference.

CD - 700mb
GCN Disc - 1500mb (1.5gb)

right - thats put me straight!

No actually gamecube disks can actually hold a lot more information than cd's.

Wont the game need to be released on about 8 discs as they hold less than normal Cd's or am i wrong - do gamecube discs hold more info than normal ones - i'm all confused!!!!
