Has anyone heard ( apart from me ) that Nintendo have done it again? They have delayed the Gamecube. Due to be out in Japan tommorow from this original post and now they have goe and delayed the release in America and UK.
The US release has been moved from 8th November to 29th November. That will make the Americans unhappy as they are ussually restless ( just like many of us ) in waiting for consoles and blockbuster games. Bear in mind though this may have been done because of the recent tragedy in America but Ninty say it is because they want to add another 7,000 consoles to the US shops on the release. Already having millions ready this is a pointless move.
God knows where that puts the UK release. We have been known to get a console delayed even longer if it happens anywhere else in the world and also Ninty will put the console further back anyway to keep the releases spaced out.
Then only positive side of this is that it may prove to be usefull in getting more time for top qaulity games to come out over here. eg. SSX Tricky, FIFA 2002 and many more good games.
The worst thing about this issue is that it will give X-Box a headstart as it will be released on the 11th November and will cost Nintendo a bit of space on the games shelves and a bit of money.
This isn't the first time this has happened. The N64 was delayed for quite some time as re-adjustments were made to it. That angered gamers all over the world. But this time all does look OK for the Japanese as they recieve their Gamecubes tommorow from this post.
