Did anybody watch this documentary at 9pm last night on BBC 3?
Quite interesting to say the least.

It definately ain't coming out for Cube, more's the pity. Proof of Gibbon's quality journalism.

Hehe, i don't thinks its making its way to the Cube.

The presenter of Outragous Fortunes did'nt have a clue about Nintendo, or any other game consoles for that matter. Most Nintendo fans would give thier right arm to fly to Japan, document Nintendo, and meet that Moto guy.

Anyway, it could have been worse, they could have put adverts in.

Dave Gibbon keeps saying that DRIV3R is definitely out for Gamecube on June 1st but I thought it was canned for the 'cube. Has it or has it not been cancelled.

Gibbon by name gibbon by nature.

C'mon, this is the BBC. They've always hated Nintendo. Just go to BBC News Online or Newsround (where they always loved Playstation and hated Ninty) and search for Nintendo.

You're talking about the company who employs David Gibbon.. *shudder*

Except of course four swords was published by Nintendo... and tested by Nintendo. MEgaman is a multi-format game published and developed by Capcom.

Heh, classic, you gotta love it! ;D You see, Nintendo may have given them horrendous fits, but at they were helping diagnose all the eppies!

Anyway, all the Yamauchi price fixing etc. was paid for with that whopping fine.
