Ok every now and again I'm going to post some Nintendo related questions in here for ya'll to get your teeth into.

Oh and you can add your own at any time, just keep it livin' (What? He said that in the WLT and it worked for him didn't it).

1. What was the official reason to why the Gamecube was released in May and not March in the UK like first intended?

2. How many games were available for the Gamecube's UK launch?

3. How many of those launch games were ports from other consoles?

4. What is Rare's first scheduled release for the GC?

5. What is the only GC game so far to make use of the GBA - GC link up?

Nothing too taxing to start with. They will be more varied next time too.

Off you trot.

1. What was the official reason to why the Gamecube was released in May and not March in the UK like first intended?

"Because of the high-number of consoles required to satisfy the whole of Europe - and the time it took to make them all. But it still wasn't enough. And also so it was released away from the X-box's launch."

2. How many games were available for the Gamecube's UK launch?

"Nearly 20 apparently. But I can't be bothered to count."

3. How many of those launch games were ports from other consoles?

"Most of them!"

4. What is Rare's first scheduled release for the GC?

"Lylat Wars Adventures: Dinosaur Planet - I hate that name!"

5. What is the only GC game so far to make use of the GBA - GC link up?

"Sonic Adventure 2: Battle links-up with Sonic Advance for Chao fun.
Kirby's gunna be another, and the new Zelda."

Have I won the million!??? ;D
