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.

I liked Mario Kart 64 but it was a bit restricted. The races were crap and there was only something like 4 arenas.

We used to go on the 4-block one, you know, with the red, green, yellow and blue bases, and we had great fun on that. If you went on the bottom you were pretty much screwed as all the shells and banana skins were down there :)

I am not a racing fan that much anyway although things like Episode 1, Mariokart and diddykong that kind of stuff I like just realistic ones like F1 games!!

That is why I am really looking forward to the release of Donkey Kong racing! on the GC!

A soul calibur game for the Gamecube would be better for the future of the console than a tekken game. i say this becasue a tekken game would not appeal as much to a PS2 owner than a SC game, becasue they can play the tekken game on thier PS2. A SC excusive for the GC would be much better. Rather like the Resi evil zero exclusive.

OK well this is different to your excitement earlier!

Anyway most are about pricing, launch games etc... so we can only speculate stop moaning is this because you do not want me to win a GAD again as you go on about how i am useless?
