From Nintendo this morning:-

22 April 2002 - Nintendo today announced that it’s ground breaking new console, NINTENDO GAMECUBE, will launch across Europe on May 3rd at a recommended retail price of 199 Euros, and is expected to retail in the UK at £129 UK pounds.

This new price is part of Nintendo’s commitment to offer the consumer an unbeatable proposition. Nintendo plans to bring the NINTENDO GAMECUBE to market at the best possible price so consumers can feel confident they are getting the best deal at launch.

“Europe is a very important market for Nintendo and we are committed to making it a success. On May 3rd we will launch the only dedicated games console, the NINTENDO GAMECUBE, with an excellent software line-up, both for launch and throughout 2002, at a very competitive price. This is a very strong offer for consumers and one that we believe will ensure Nintendo’s success across Europe,” said David Gosen, Managing Director, Nintendo Europe.

I guess other websites will be carrying the news story by mid-morning then.

I'll keep my eye out.

It's made me smile on a Monday morning, anyway.

The info came from Cake Media, Nintendo's PR Agency I believe. My editor at a video-games website I write for, posted it up over at the Edge Forums.
