"NGC magazine hang your head in shame!"

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such as Luigi's Mansion and Pikmin but they were ancient clips shown on Game Network yonks ago and were pretty much out of date.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.

CUBE is supposedly out today but my local newsagents didn't have it.

Did anyone manage to grab a copy?

It's out on Thursday.

It'll be around £3.

Well as PSOne sales showed, any develloper can make an FMV sequence appealing.

The game itself was in an unplayable state and was looking awful, so the company decided to concentrate the olso dodgy but more important, Metroid Prime.

Raven Blade looked very very appealing even to the non nintendo fan and I think it was pathetic on whoevers part it was to can the game.

I don't buy it every month, but it's still my first choice for Nintendo magazine, even if that video was a bit pathetic.

Grix wrote something along the lines of:

Raven blade? Just an FMV apparently.

Kameo was well worth watching though. Again, same crap demo rift that accompanied Starfox, Raven Blade and Metroid etc,
but it was a good show of what this game had in the potential department.

Kameo is certainly looking good.
I just hope that it isn't short lived.

Ofcourse, nothing's been seen of it since E3 I think so it probably won't be on this video.
Expect Space World/Nintendo show demos with possibly a bit of an actual Japanese Gamecube in action.

Then we'll see some REAL Monkey Ball, Luigi's Mansion and Wave Race footage.

Raven Blade, even. :D

Completely agree with you Strafex. I saw that story, and thought... "yes!"

Shabby video, if they had actually put a bit of work in it, we would have had a decent video.

Only interesting thing was the Rune clips, but it still had that crap awful music in the background.
