Rumours - bloody annoying things at times, always acting as red herrings trying to confuse you into not knowing what will happen next...
Yes, there's a frightening rumour going around now, a rumour to upset all you fellow Nintendo lovers and, it has something to do with the GameCube.
*GameCube - Delayed until July?*
That is the rumour. Nintendo are denying this, which is no surprise. Nintendo are good at catching people's attention. I mean, take a look at what they did with the GameCube before - they said that if it wasn't a sucess at E3, then it would be scrapped! Anyway, the thing is, developers are saying that the pencilled-in release date of "Spring" is looking more and more inlikely, and that it is more possible that we in the UK won't see Nintendo's fantasic box o' tricks until sometime in the summer! This really is pathetic. We are always considered insignificant when it comes down to gaming...GRRRR!
But then again, this could be one of Nintendo's notorious publicity stunts, aiming to catch everyone's attention and take more notice of GameCube. It could just be a funny, yet great way of advertising and that there is no chance of the GameCube being delayed over here. (Fingers crossed).
SHOCKY

I don't care when GameCube gets released as long as I have enough money to buy one by the end of next year (I'm never gonna b able to buy 1 when it comes out- Cmon where am I gonna get £200???) I'll probably try 2 get one cheap off Ebay or sumthing like that. Oh well as long as the price drops by Christmas 2002 or By the new year anyways I'll be (relatively) happy.
Even worse news to devastate you all - I heard a rumour that the GameCube could well be delayed till next September!!
I dearly hope this is not the case!!

I haven't pre-ordered a GameCube, but if there is a big increase in pre-orders I will be forced to pre-order one.

Yeah, apparantly EA gave the GameCube's possible release date away by accident when they had SSX Tricky pencilled in for a March 8th release. What's even better is that SSX Tricky MIGHT be AFTER the release day, so there's the possibility it might even be out on March 1st.
Fingers Crossed...

in ngc , they had an interview with european nintendo distributor (or something like that) and she said that there will be 30 or 40 games ready for the uk launch !! (but they wont all be launched on the same day !!) so by july there will be about 50 !!

If this just a publicity stunt, I really wish Nintendo would quit being so cheap and just buy some tv time. If it's good enough for the company that is, lets face it, doing infinitely better than Nintendo (if you exclude Pokemon), surely it's good enough for Shigsy's boys?
