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 :)

Ahh.. the N64 controller. That really was a stroke of genius from Nintendo ;)

The SNES pad is still my all time favourite though!

Oh my god!

Is Dr.Ingo dead?!?

Dringo is back (or is it a clone...)

Anyway, as long as I get a GC after I've finished my GCSEs next Summer I will be fine...

What do you mean dringo?

If you mean the analogue sticks, I think the sega saturn had it first didn't it?
I may be wrong. Anyway, I found that the buttons were placed in wierd places (probably just me) but you really had to bend you fingers to reach the analogue stick. The button on the back was good though.

Gamecube sounds better.

Why not?? I expect the technology was around before then, and Sony could have easily developed it themselves.
