Aha here is some useful bits of information:

Facts:
The Gamecube will cost $199.99 now we expect it to cost the same in pounds but after the GBA which costed $100 in America and was supposed to be £80 over here we can expect it to cost a measly £160!!!!!

THQ have announced 15 Gamecube titles including WWF Wrestlemania oh joy. Rare have confirmed Perfect Dark 2 will appear on the Gamecube with an expected release date of autumn 2002!

Gamecube games will cost 6,800 yen which in our currency comes out at a shocking £35. Shigsy wants to bring directors cut games to the Gamecube. Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 to be a GC title. Bomberman for GC and so is the previous X-box only Malice. Mortal Combat for GC once again! Gundam Wing for GC.

Rumours:
It is heavily rumoured that Capcom are to bring Resident Evil to Gamecube with real time backgrounds and extra stuff. Febuary is rumoured to be the release date of the Gamecube in Europe!!!!

Developer Bioware hint at Star wars RPG for Gamecube very interesting. It is also rumoured that Shigsy might bring his Mario demo out as a GC title called 100 Mario’s. It is unlikly but Mario is rumoured to be playable in Luigi’s Mansion!

No GC Pokémon game until 2002 but it is said to have a really good link between the GBA and GC cool. HAL would be happy to release canned 64 game Earthboundm to the Gamecube. It is Likely that Midways Spy Hunter will appear on GC.

Also unlikly but hopeful that Sonic will be playable in Super Smash Brothers Melee! Shigsy to have Mario finished in time for GC launch has been rumoured! Sega’s weired game Monkey Ball might be bundled with the Gamecube at launch!

Now Nintendo and Namco are friends they have confirmed that many titles are in development I’d put my money on Ridge Racer but here’s hoping for Point Blank and of course Tekken.

This information is not copied but came from sources including the internet and N64 Magazine.

Yeah it is OK, I liked 7, which was actually the second of the series I got since I got 8 first and thought that was quite good, so I got 7 and I loved it and 9 I didn't like as much as 7 but more than 8!!

I've got some MUCH better rumours and facts than those!

FACT: Capcom are bring Resident Evil Zero to the GAMECUBE. It will be launched before the end of the year in the USA, so expect it soon after launch here too.

RUMOUR: Pitt from Kid Icarus will be playable in Super Smash Bros: Melee.

RUMOUR: Final Fantasy 11 will be released on GAMECUBE and Xbox shortly after its PS2 and PC launch.

RUMOUR: Enix will bring their Dragon Quest series to GAMECUBE.

RUMOUR: Marionette is Nintendo's online network.

FACT: A company called Marionette Ltd have recently registered the domain mario-net.net


RUMOUR: Ravenblade has been canned.

RUMOUR: Zelda is much further along in development than you's think....

RUMOUR: Luigi's Masion will incorporate GBA link up for extra features.

FACT: WWF Wrestlemania for GAMECUBE won't be released until Autumn 2002 in the USA, and the game mechanics have been completely reworked.

I think music is very important. The music off GT3 is so GOOD!!! It really helps, as it gives you something to keep you awake with when you're 20 laps ahead of the pack on the Grand Valley 500.

I don't remember there being no music.

On the subject of music, does anyone remember the music off Banjo Kazooie nearly making your ears BLEED?
