"Gamecube gets a demo disc....."

In the USA anyway....

Taken from Cube-Europe: -

"Nintendo will be giving out demo discs on May 25th in the United States. How this will be done (could it possibly be connected to the new bundle?), or what games will be included on this software is unknown.

This new marketing tactic will definetely help the growing number of people that recently purchased a GameCube in the States discover new games, thanks to the "Console and free game bundle" for only $149.95. The games available in this offer so far are: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, Star Fox Adventures, or Mario Party 4.

Maybe this will be the start of a new policy by Nintendo that will permit magazines and media to distribute demo discs, a privilege that the other two next-generation consoles already have."

Wonder if NOE will release one in Europe?

"A few days ago we reported there will be a demo disc released for the GameCube in the US. We now know what game will be on it...

Nintendo has announced its demo disc in the US will feature five playable demos. The disc will be released on the 25th of May and will contain demos of the following games:

Splinter Cell
Viewtiful Joe
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
Sonic Adventure DX
Soul Calibur II

The disc may contain more playable demos, and will probably also feature some video previews.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Wooooo demo's, maybe I will buy NOM again :o)

i always play my xbox demos to death

especially indiana jones!
wow!

YeY.
Demo discs.

I've always wanted to throw a GC disc, now I can - for free.
Huzzah!

I play them if they're decent and I don't have it

It depends on the games on the demo - most demos I leave well alone, but then I play some of my demos regularly. I've played Burnout and Smash Court Tennis demos more than I've played some of my actual games!

Well everybody except gamezfreak then :)

Well, when Iget the Official Xbox Magazine I usually play the demos for a few days...

The thing is how many people do you know (ps2 owners) that actually use the demo discs? Most I know just sling them as soon as they open the mag unless there's a real good demo of say an unreleased game.

*slowly ignoring N64 4 EVA*

Anyway....

I sincerely hope Nintendo of Europe bring us Brits the demo discs, that way gamecube owners can play trial versions of games, that they may not have been even considering buying.

I hope.
