The games industry's UK trade mag has once again shed doubt on the launch of the cube...

Basically it all comes down to "if it doesn't make it in March, we might have to wait till Septemeber"!?!??!?!

Now, before everyon has a riot saying "it's not true! It's just NOT true", I'd like to point out how many of Ninty's other products have been delayed, or even canned.

The N64 was delayed 3 times.
Zelda OTT was delayed by somethign like 7 months!
The 64DD was hyped to be the best thing ever... then launched very quietly in Japan only.

And now Ninty have missed an Xmas launch in Europe... shunning European gamers again???

Well, I doubt it is going to be delayed myslef... otherwise Ninty might as well miss Europe all together- after all, if Ninty's hardcore fans leave the cause, then the console will do shockingly!

Thing is, Microsoft have a much larger marketing budget for thier console...and so The Gamecube could be left in its shadow.

Stupid as it may sound, some people still dont know what a gamecube is.

Gamecube has already been delayed enough. N64 was launched in spring 97, so i'm fairly certain Gamecube will follow suit. Or are Nintendo scared the x-box will steal the Gamecubes thunder? Maybe a delayed launch could be better in that aspect.
