"GameCube Release Date - Announced This Monday!?"

I know... that question mark is a bíatch, but it's there. Sorry.

Still, here's the word from Tendobox:

Nintendo Of Europe originally said in a press release that the GameCube launch date would be announced on February the 5th at the Millia gaming show, but now it looks like it's been pushed forward.

Strong industry rumors suggest Nintendo will now be announcing the date on Monday. In fact, Jasper Segers, owner of Dutchgaming.net claims Nintendo Benelux confirmed this to him.

Senior NOE spokesperson Kimo Sabe has told Computer And Videogames that every rumored launch date so far has been wrong but despite that, the site is speculating April 5 and May 3.

Dammit - I've been saying April the 5th all along! Will no-one listen!

Still, We'd better start saving. I might as well clean my ISA out, because saving is for middle aged people, plus my brother owes me his pocket money because I beat him at pro Evolution Soccer...

£327 ISA money + £10 pocket money from brother...

£340 for some GameCube lovin'.... Sounds mighty fine to me!

I wonder if anyone on these forums actually cares aobut the X-Box... it's all GameCube, baby, and it's way cool!!

Game: Master of Ctrl+C + Ctrl+V!

I think that Nintendo could get it released for 1st of March if they REALLY wanted to...

Sorry, before the end of March.

I'd like it to be before March, so I can use up the rest of this years leave from work to stay home at play it.

Else I'll have to see how much I can carry over!

I'm thinking along the same Lines as Meka here.

I've had a bloody enough of all this specualtion.

I'm gonna get an X-box at launch, and forget about Gamecube till Christmas :P

It will be released at some point in the future, of that much I am sure.

When it's released I'll get one.

I'm not going to think about when anymore, until it's a definite!
