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such as Luigi's Mansion and Pikmin but they were ancient clips shown on Game Network yonks ago and were pretty much out of date.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

Strafex, you WILL still be getting NGC every month, won't you? You will, won't you? It's because they are the best Nintendo magazine in the shops.

Just get CUBE magazine this onetime, and then concentrate on NGC - It's for the best, you know.

Actually, the latest NGC mag isn't issue 3 if you want to start from the beginning.....

But the latest one had stickers and a Game Cube money box free with it.

My NGC still hasn't come today :( :( :(

Wouldn't it be cheaper if there were DVDs on the mag instead of videos, I'd prefer a video as I don't have a DVD player.

Am I the only one who hasn't seen the NGC? It isn't in any shops by mine. Well, since everyone knows about it, how many issues has there been and when is the next one out?

you could watch it round a friends house... but a DVD would raise the cost of the mag wouldn't it? Not sure, but PCGamer is a fiver with a DVD!

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...

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.
