Yup, on the official Nintendo-Europe site it's been announced that on the 10th the GameCube's price will drop to £80. Pretty good deal if you ask me.

Also, Metroid Prime, Mario Sunshine, StarFox Adventures and Mario Party 4 are all Player's Choice range on the same day. Too bad I have all of them :-\

All my PS2 and Xbox owning mates want Mario Kart.

And with this new price, I'm sure a few of them will be picking up Gamecubes as soon as they can.

Which is good.

This guy knows what he's saying.

Mario Kart has a far more mass market appeal.

The ammount of people I've heard go "ohhhhhhhh" with the mere mention of Mario Kart.

Yeah, I guess those back-ups look good. If people knew about them.

But still less interest than the Zelda/Metroid releases. Without some decent advertising, which looks unlikely, all the good but low profile titles won't make any real difference.

Zelda and Metroid were both hyped as maybe the best games ever.
Despite both falling a tad flat.

MK isn't, and neither is F-Zero. They just don't seem to be generating the same interest.

And you shouldn't forget these exclusive releases:

mario party 5, mario golf, viewtiful joe, 1080, star wars rouge squadron 3, Billy Hatcher and the giant egg.

As nice back up titles.

I think you'll find the 3 titles released at Christmas has more mass market appeal than Zelda and Metroid.
