Hi all

Just thought I'd add my two penny's worth to the forum. I think Nintendo should let the UK (and Europe) gaming population know where they're going to release the Gamecube over here *BEFORE* Christmas.

This may go some way to stop extra sales of the Playstation 2 - i.e. people may be persueded to wait for the new Nintendo console rather then get a Playstation 2. This would make parents less likely to buy their kids a Gamecube on release.. therefore having even more of a detrimental effect on the Gamecube's sales in this country :/

Added to the fact that I *really* want to get a Gamecube :)

I don't want a GC. For the moment anyway. The main things that attracted me to Ninty was Zelda (WHY?!? Why have you changed it?!?) and Perfect Dark (thank god for after dark :))I'll stivk with my PS2 for the moment thank you.

Sorry - I just meant that GTA3 will make it on to the Gamecube. I'm not expecting Gran Turismo 3!

Nice to see that the Gamecube will get released in Spring.. maximum of 6 months I suppose, though it'll probably be March I should think.

Yes, very true. I've been registered for a year. You could say that I'm a bit of a lurker ;)

According to NewsWire Nintendo have now officially set the date for the UK release of the Gamecube.

Spring 2002.

Great.
Very accurate.

Somewhere between March 21st and June 21st then...

hmmmmm... i heard that it was going to make a pc appearance around about march/april? Evidently this was utter bollards and the person who told me requires stringing up by a small delicate part of their body (their little finger of course).

damn, was looking forward to that!

ISS may well do - GT3 is highly unlikely, given Polyphony's exremely close ties to Sony, and GTA3 won't appear until at least the end of next year to a year-long exclusivity deal with Sony.
