Look what I found at www.tendobox.com:

"A few months ago we reported that a new GameCube magazine was launching in Europe called NGC with a free video.

Well now those lucky Europeans are getting another. This time it's the Paragon published CUBE Magazine and the free video will feature high quality clips of many games including Mario Sunshine, Zelda For GameCube, Rogue Leader, Resident Evil and Soul Calibur 2.

The magazine/video will be launching on Thursday the 22nd and is a must for all GameCube fans living in Europe."



This is video I want to see.
The good quality NGC magazine gave away a video full of shoddy "in-production" E3 clips which were either FMV sequences or poor incomplete demos.
There were a few decent demonstrations such as Luigi's Mansion and Pikmin but they were ancient clips shown on Game Network yonks ago and were pretty much out of date.

This new video seems to be much better, showing footage of Mario, Zelda, Rogue Leader and possibly complete versions of Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion and Monkey Ball.

THIS is what NGC should've given us.
CUBE is a magazine I'll be buying on the 22nd.

cool , i have every issue from issue 22 (i think) and also , that video that NGC gave away was good for all those kids who dont have sky , or the internet , and all they can rely on is the magazines , so for them it was probably great , for us lot , it was pretty poor , the galleon video was good though.

I've never heard of their publishers before (Paragon).

I don't they'll have any footage not put up on the net already.

How does this make NGC hang their heads in shame? ....... ......... ....... Oh because their video was crud.

That video seriously disappointed me. It was rubbish from Luigi's Mansion to Raven Blade. I still think the actual mag rocks though.

I'd make a compleint to NGC mag if I were you.

I always seem to get my issues before they're out in the shops (once I recieved one up to two weeks in advance!)

This new magazine will be in the shops.

I reckon that the Zelda footage will the same as what you can download at internet sites.

All the games will be more up to date, detailed and much better than the shoddy old E3 demo's.

This time we'll atleast get Nintendo show and Spaceworld footage and maybe some Japanese gamecube footage too...
