After reading the latest NGC magazine, I was relieved to hear that a spokeswoman from Nintendo of Europe said that the GameCube's release date has not been announced, but has been stated as Spring so that European customers aren't disappointed by any delays.
How wrong could I be?
Not only is what she said a load of rubbish, but it looks like Nintendo are delaying the release of the GameCube to September next year!
According to Codejunkies, who develop game enhancers for nearly every console said that a games publisher has revealed that "Europe is not a priority for Nintendo".
Tell us something we didn't already know!
I'm sure most of you already know how Nintendo treat us like dirt. The only exception being the release of the Game Boy Advance being released just after America had them. Ever since Nintendo have made videogames, they have been delaying European and sometimes American release dates. It happened with the N64, and with top games like 'Zelda: Ocarina of Time'.
So why delay the console this time?
Well it's not been confirmed by Nintendo themselves that they are going to delay it's release, but part of Grant Hughes article on Codejunkies says this:
"A spokesperson for Nintendo told MCV that no Euro launch date will be given "until after we have seen how the launches have gone in Japan and the US"."
Well the launch in Japan was a success (considering what had just happened) and I can't see Nintendo failing to reach audiences in the United States. However Nintendo will use anything to put off their launches in Europe.
The trouble with Nintendo, especialy Yamauchi (think that's how you spell his name), is that they are too confident. Nintendo keep having arguments with top developers like Squaresoft, and they keep delaying and rising the prices of their software, and yet they expect us all to be buying their consoles and games with no complaints. I will still be getting my GameCube, but if there is a massive delay as predicted, I wont be too happy with Nintendo about it.
So if you are excited about getting your GameCubes and seing all the new games and innovations, all I can suggest is: Don't hold your breath.

I wish they'd release Resident Evil Zero first!
I've played all the others already. Yes i'd like to play Resident Evil 1 again, which the absolutely gorgeous graphics, but firstly i'd like to play a new Resi game!

Thats what i thought i was hoping it would come out near release but it seems the RE1/2/3/CV have managed o shove it back to god knows when, i honestly believe they are all released so many questions you will ask that on RE0 will answer so then they seem to be releasing 4 RE games to hype up 1 (5 if 4 comes out first) sounds intriguing?
RE0 must be huge if we wont see it till 2003 but there is just no date!

Resident Evil Zero was gonna come out on the N64, but they decided to move it over to the Gamecube.
It must be nearing completion soon shouldn't it?

I'm trying to speak 2 u in msn Strafex but it aint workin?
quite possibly but i dont think so dont ask why but i think 1 more spin off will reach the GC as they made 4 for the PS and in theory they are only making 2 new titles.
RE2/3/CV will appear very shortly after RE1.

Ok, so RE4 is 3 years away, not 4 years.
But that still means that if a RE5 is made, it'll be atleast 4 and a half years away.
The PS2 MIGHT be around that long but I think that the PS3 will be around by then.

i meant 0 at the last number id expect all RE Gamecube titles out worldwide by september 2004.
RE1 march next year Japan id say septemeber over here, RE2/3 not over hauled as much only a few months after.
RECV wont need updating but if so only a little bit itll be out by the end of the year in japan and why????
Because he wants 4 out by 2003 and 4 out by the end of it.

By the time RE5 is made, the Gamecube and PS2 may well be history.
RE1 (the remake) is a year away atleast.
RE Veronica is 2 years away.
RE0 will be about 3 years away.
RE 4 is about 4 years away.
It'll be 5 and a half years until the next one is released.
Capcom clearly have their options open for the PS3...
