Today I played a Gamecube. It was fun. Then I went home.
First thing that really hits you is the size of the controller. It's tiny. Really. Think of the PS2 controller. Now make it smaller. No, smaller again.
The thing is though your hand fits... well, my hand fits it superbly. The clicking L and R buttons, great yeah... the d pad is again tiny, and the bloody Z button is horrible. Should have been put more towards the middle. Or on the back.
Anywho, I played Wave Race, and that's all. Looks lovely, nice visuals... really realistic...
And that's about it. You can tell it's a first generation game, because it's all mouth and no trousers. Looks the stuff, but it's for realism freaks only. No real gameplay to it.
Saying that though, I only played single player, so that's just half the story. And everything being in Japanese may have had an effect too. Full colour, for those who said about it being in black and white on some tvs.
Not disappointed about anything with the actual console. Loads fit and fast, and the controller is great.
Waverace however, sucks. Sorry, but it does. Strafex can symphasise here when I say about it being too realistic and not tense enough... mind you, I've never liked racing games, pointless to me.
And that's about it. You've probably learnt nothing.

See Turbonutter? He DOESN'T like racing games, you pleb! :D
Does that mean he won't like Luigi's Mansion or Super Monkey Ball? NO! Does that give you an excuse to start having a go, as Grix said, at us Ninties? NO!
Oh, and on the Japanese lauch sales note, it might of been 'quiet' at first, but news informs me that GameCube's sales actually ROSE after the launch, because Japansese punters became more aware of the spectactular machine's apperance after they had been put on the shelves.
SHOCKY - Getting a GameCube along with all three Japanese luanch titles (he hopes)
