Not sure if you found the story, but apparently, someone from Nintendo, (Possibly wearing a Microsoft/Sony uniform?), told a magazine that the Gamecube is being delayed for a year, because it is "much more difficult to program than expected".
I can now reveal that...
It was utter ballocks.
This was announced by Nintendo, not in those very words, obviously, a few days back.
And for all those that didn't know, Nintendo re-announced the deadline of October 2001 for Gamecube in America.
Now, lets have a think.
Nintendo want to sell Gamecubes, yes?
When do consoles sell the most? Christmas.
How long after normally does a console launch in Britain after America? A few months.
You do the maths. : )

Does everybody have tea about now?
It's OK Grix. I forgive you.
You can come back now.

Yes I can. I can blame whoever I like.
You... YES YOU! Damn you.

You can't blame THE for TWINE. It's nothing to do with them.
Actually I'm a bit of a THE fan. They are a good distributor. Nintendo call the shots remember.

Actually, I'm glad you said that...
*Expanding thoughts and rumours mode*
THE games, the crappiest thing that ever got involved with Nintendo, bar Pokemon, has been laid off.
THE games were the ones that held back copies of The World is Not Enough, the ones that sold memory packs for £30, before giving them away free with DK64.
The ones that didn't get us our Golden Ocarina of Time, for that, I will never forgive them.
Now, Nintendo run shotgun for Britain, and if Nintendo are as good to us as they were last time, (READ: Club Nintendo...), then we are in for a good time.
World Wide launch? Suprisingly now more possible than ever.

So why, just for once, when they have the opportunity, can't they do a worldwide release in October? I think we should be the guinea pigs for a change. Not the US. How can Nintendo trust them to vote on whether or not it's any good as a console when they need a recount all the time. Release it here first. Stuff 'em.
