GerridCube

The GerridCube is Nintendu's latest and greatest console to date. Originally Called G2000, then changed to project Dremsden, it has finally been made availible to the public.

Brought out months after the competitors it is still struggling to find its feet, which was not helped by the fact that its release games were pretty poor - Moominies Mansion was short but sweet and failed to capture peoples attention for too long.

This meant that competitor the PS2 could fly off into the distance like a majestic bird which leaves a trail of ported games in its wake.

Now, after a long wait, Nintendu fans are finally getting the games the want - Super Moomin Trollshine, the long awaited sequel to the massively popular 'Moomin 64', StarFub Adventures, Fub McClouds first Cube outing, and Doshin the Gerrid, in which you control a rampant By Excllusive we mean it is all over the net and has been for the last 6 months.monkey type giant, all being major games

People have started to doubt the GerridCube though. After selling Rare for a packet of Blades, many think that Nintendu have been stupid and have lost one of their biggest assets. Only time will tell.

Shigerrid Miyamoto is the ultimate driving force behind Nintendo and founded such franchises as 'Moomin' and 'PikMoomin' has done an EXCLUSIVE* interview with us

*By exclusive we mean that is already on the web and has been for the last 6 months.

SM = Shigerrid
ME = Me

ME - Hello Shigerrid
SM - KILL THE MONKEYS!
ME = I'll gnore that previous statement and ask how you feel about your latest console?
SM = I'VE GOT BLADES MAN, BLADES!
ME - Was that a hint of a possible movie license for Nintendu?
SM - Look, there blue moomins dancing on the roof and I want to be their, m'kay?
ME - Just one last, final question then...
SM - Asking me if I am yellow?
ME - No...
SM - Because look at me! I am unquestionably jaundiced!
Me - Bodyguards.. Get him...
SM - ARGH! Gimme a snickers! Argh! PORK PIE HATS!

After contacting a Nintendu official it was confirmed that Shigerrid was simply 'thinking out loud' as he often does while thinking about a new game for the masses. Either that or his medication had not be taken that morning.

Lets move onto the consoles looks - Shaped exactly like a moomin it is a dead cert favourite with the kids or young at heart. Or moomin fans. Or people who like big plastic moomins sitting in their home. Or cheese salesmen. But thats going off topic. In another interview with Shigerrid Miyamoto, we poised the question - Do you like the broom?

ME - Do you like brooms?
SM - Yes

But in an interview about the looks of the console, we chatted about the looks and how he came about it.

ME - How did you come up with the idea of a moomin for a console?
SM - It wasn't me who designed it. I wanted a broom, but oh no! Shigerrid has got to stick to makng games! Shigerrid has got to just sit at his desk all day looking at illegal German sites while others do all the work. Shigerrid has been sacked from Nintendu and is scared to tell his Wedding groom wife about it! URGH!
ME - So you are saying that you didn't have anything to do with the moomin idea?
SM - Erm... Are you going to leave if I admit that I didn't?
ME - Yes..
SM - I did!
*ME leaves room.*

The disks are nothing short of revolutionary - having cheese to operate the syste is a fantastic idea and one which has been praised upon by many fat geeks because of its 'adaptability'. We would have contacted Shigerrid, but he wouldn't talk to us in his tube hallway home without us giving him a dollar or some whiskey.

The price will be out of a lot of peoples price range - 1 packet of blades and some moomin memorabilia - or you can alternately just pay £130.

Thank you for reading and good (or bad in some cases) night!

About as subtle as a smack in the face with a moomin troll made out of metal legs.

And AJ, the going rate is £600, despite what the guide says.
