All I know is that it will be released in Japan and America this year - The UK early next year!! They reckon it will be available for below £200 which is a total bargain!!
Not sure about the games released but some of the titles shown at E3 should be launch titles - for example Luigis Mansion, Wave Race and Smash Bros!!

The Game Cube is 128 bit, it was going to be called the dolphin and then the Star Cube but it has been officially branded the Gamecube. It has a carrying handle on it and I think it will revolutionise video gaming! The footage of Zelda looks excellent and Nintendo are saying that it is in game footage. It is cube shaped (obviously) and is 150mm(w) x 110mm(h) x 161mm(d). The front of the console has four controller ports and space for two memory card and the back has an Av out port and a digital Av output. underneath is the port for the modem.
Controllers
It has a D-pad and an analog stick with buttons A B C and Y. The C button which doubles up as an anolouge stick and will mainly be used to move the camera on all games. This is instead of the four c buttons on the N64. The controller also has in built rumble capabilities. Also you can ue the GBa for a controller making full use of the GBA's screen.
Games
The game cube takes Mini Dvds which measure 8cm in diameter and can hold 1.5gb of information. The games cut scenes can take and use the Gamecube Dvd capabilities.
When Nintendo first showed off this masterpiece it they gave a demo of 128 marios all doing a different thing. However they bost that that was only using 30% of its 450mhz processor.
Is that enough info for you?

Also there is a rumour games will cost £20 and the console will cost £100
The games would definitely cost above £30, and the console £150+.
America will see the release of the Game Cube on November 5th 2001 and it will cost $199 (about £133) and games $49.90 (about £33).
