"Right now, Nintendo's development teams are working on the creation of a totally brand-new type of game, tying together the Gamecube and Game Boy Advance. Our goal is to introduce this product during the Christmas rush of 2002... The main problem is Gamecube software. We won't be able to get any user support if we continue to release games on the brink of missing release dates. Our major goals are centered around Christmas 2002, but the Gamecube will fail if nothing interesting is released for it before then."

This is what Yamauchi had to say but surely there must have ben a mistake, DR.COM say that it was a translation error, but if the software isn't there then Nintendo, as Yam said, are Buggered!

What would you say to Shigsy Taking Yam's place? Maybe he doesn't quite have that Hard, Adult Nintendo Image about him....

Just to clear up... he is refering to software when he says Christmas 2002, not the console.

What to read this as:

Decent software will be released at launch.

The best software will be released at 2002.


...Still, if this is true, it is unacceptable. The crap that's been pouring from his mouth recently may have had something to do with it...

Hopefully he will retire next year.

A recent survey conducted by FMData revealed that 99.999% of DC users would not be buying a GC, but would stick with their console until either Sega released the FantasyCast in 2004, or failing that the XBox.

The other 0.001% was Dan :-)
