May 3rd eh? Well, according to video clips (and endless topics here on SR) that is the date of GC launch in Europe. But the official announcement is on Monday is it not? Yup.
Nintendo, usually more secretive than the US governments alien experimentation division, have had this video somehow leaked... Or have they?
Maybe the leak wasn't a leak at all. Maybe it was part of Nintendos scheme. Was that video the real one that will be released on Monday? How would you know? Nintendo, are typically secretive, and this is pretty uncharacteristic, having a leak a couple of days before possibley the biggest announcement since... the US launch probably...
Anyway, here is my point. Could the video be a fake? Could it have been purposefully leaked by Ninty, to get people talking and speculating about the release? Many people were a little annoyed by the rumours that Ninty would launch April 5th, they still wanted the March date. But April 5th is much preferable to May 3rd right? Think about it. You are hacked off at Ninty for releasing in April not March. Then you hear even worse, that Nintendo are going to release the cube on May 3rd, a month after you expected. It makes you even angrier at the big N. Then when the official announcement comes, it turns out April 5th is true after all. You'd be so relieved that it was earlier than May 3rd, that your frustrations at no March release would be forgotten in the relief that Nintendo were going to release in April, a month earlier than you were now convinced of.
Maybe this is far fetched, but it is based on some kind of logic. So, don't get your hopes TOO high, but if you wanted an earlier release, don't give up just yet...

I don't know, they must have been nervous, and it's a long time to hold it in, especially if they'd had a lot to drink : )

Why would Nintendo want such a late release.
If they leave it too May 3rd, potential buyers might have given up on buying a GC, but that is just Nintendo's plan...not a well kept secret!

I doubt it...Interesting idea though.
ITts just been leaked.
As much as I would like to think it is coming out earlier, I doubt they would have gonoe to all this trouble.
Launch date can still be changed though. Still a long time until release...

yeah, don't worry, I just saw Dr. Duck's topic in this forum 'Its them aliens' (or something similar) and that was posted a few hours before this one, and had some similar ideas... I only saw that one this morning...
A lot of people seem to be thinking this now... I wouldn't get the hopes up TOO much, but it's definitely a possibility...

Sibs, i just posted a similar topic in the FOG chat, it actually sounds very similar to yours.
But don't worry, i didn't even see yours until now, so i didn't copy any of your ideas, i woke up this morning & thought "what if it's not May 3rd"
It shows we both had the same sort of ideas how May 3rd might not be true.

That's exactly what I think this is, all just a publicity stunt by Nintendo to get the name Gamecube on peoples minds and hopefully getting them to buy one. (like a subliminal message or something) put it this way Nintendo arn't the best console company for advertising but shockers and attention grabbing they are good for.
So who knows....
