Already the March 14th release date for the Gamecube looks set to slide further back. Nintendo now face massive set-backs after semi-conductors used in the Gamecube chipsets voted unanimously for strike action. The high performance semi-conductors are demanding better pay and working conditions and a fully paid health plan, promising that unless demands are met they will defect to Microsoft.

Nintendo spokeswoman and literary creation Sara Goldfarb commented this is like a commercial break. Soon the program will be back on and youll see, theyll make it nice Seymour. Itll all work out. Youll see already. In the end its all nice. However, her persistance in talking in a stream-of-conciousness style prevented any journalists from understanding her.

From what some were able to discern Nintendo is facing the strike problem after building into its chips some of the most sophisticated AI known to mankind. Nintendo insider John Malkovich commented "These chips are incredible, some of them are already more highly qualified than our technicians. It's no wonder they want better rights." The imminent strike is just another problem in a long list of set-backs that have hampered the Gamecube since it's conception in early 1999. Analysts predict that this new development could mean that the release date is postponed until late 2002. Shigsy was said to have committed hari-kiri upon hearing the fresh revelation. However, industry watcher Verbal Kindt was sceptical,
"And my guess is you'll never hear from him again. And like that he'll be gone."

Speculation is rife that Bill Gates was behind the sinister play that could bankrupt Nintendo. When questioned by reporters Gates only smiled knowing before his attempt to comment was cut short by a rogue Linux user's attempt to silence him. Steve Jobs tried to comment on the events but was universally ignored.

Damn dirty silicon transistors!!!

It's their own fault. How can they expect high wages when it takes 55 million of them to make a single processing chip?

I thought that 5 pounds between them all was very fine and fair!
If they wanted more than 0.0001p then they should learn to do the job on their own!

Would you need 55 millions friends to halp you do a little bit of maths?
