I have posted this in the reviews section but i posted it here as well. So no complaining.

It's nearly here Nintendo Fans. The Nintendo Gamecube will be here 9 days from the day this review was written. So not long to wait now if you are planning on importing one.

Now the Gamecube will be a 4 player console that will come in a variety of colours including gold, silver, purple and red. Nintendo have also decided to go for the option of using CD's instead of their favourite, cartridges. The CD's won't be normal sized like the PS2 and X-Box. They will be mini CD's that ninty say will cost less to make and buy.

Now the games for the Gamecube are looking really good.

With Luigi's Haunted Mansion and Wave Race: Blue Storm as launch titles and Super Smash Brothers Melee and Rouge Leader on the way the future looks good for the GameCube.

Now there will also be a special Gamecube that will cost around £100 more than the original but it will play DVD's. Ninty probably didn't want to be left out of the DVD market as they're 2 rivals have opted to use DVD's.

The console has not yet been set a british price but it should be around £150. Quite a good price for a games console in this generation of games.

So if you really want a Gamecube then it is cheaper than any other console with better graohics so when it comes out. Buy it.

PS. You can pre-order it from Special Reserve for £20.

Thanks 4 reading, Afro

Would anyone mind if I did my own preview og Gamecube? No. Good. Well here goes.

From what I have seen of Nintendos new console, I must say, I am impressed. And Nintendo are certainly being very strategic about when to bring it out, beating the Xbox to the shops, and will also be at a cheaper price, which is also very good.

But, with a new console, there must be games, and by the looks of it, there will be plenty of superb games ready for launch. One that has cuaght my interest is Super Smash Brothers:Melee. I have read a couple of previews and it sounds very good. I have also read about other games as well, and the Gamecube has a lot of backing by major companies such as Sega, and let's not forget that Nintendo make some brilliant games themselves. To be honest, there is only one games that I keeping my eye out for, and that is Perfect Dark Zero (I think that's what it is called). If this is anything at all like the original, then it should be a heck of a game.

I am not really a full on Ninty fan, to be honest, if there is a computer game that looks good, I will play it, no matter what console it is on, but Nintendo are still battling it out, and are still looking strong. And I really hope that the Gamecube gets more of those great games that the N64 got.
