"Gamecube will be £100"

GameCube will be $150.00
The Japanese promos for GC are filtering out and on them GC is listed as launching July 21, 2001 in Japan at 17,800 yen which converted is about $153.00 US dollars. This proves GC will not be $200.00 as some have said and it also proves there will be no delay. Go here to take a look at one of the posters:

Mario 128 is a demo shown at last years spaceworld and is finished!!! But don't get too excited it isn't a huge game in fact your job is to find 128 Mario (you'll get help finding them by the Marios you uncover) on a monopoly board and it is really a demo/game that'll take 10 minuites to finnish.

Thats what i said

Mario128 is not a game but a little puzzle demo with 128 marios all doing completely different things at the same time showing the power of the GC, if this was worked like to a wrestling game then 128 dodgy gamers against each other.

(I cant wait for SmackDown 6)

Ive been starved I need another Mario Platform Game, it would be cool to do a big game like Mario64, with larger environments as in Zelda, better graphics and a choice of player like Mario2(i.e. Toad, Princess, Luigi or Mario!).

Humm. Hinting indeed.

I didn't say it was a small hint but he didn't say it would be with GC as nothing when it comes to Nintendo has been anounced for the gamecube in the form of games

Even though a hard disc would speed up game play?

...

160 quid for the console, gamepad and Mario128?... sounds like a bargin to me!

I have heard 160 STERLING POUNDS for the console, and this comes with a control and a Mario128 and WaveRace demo.

Lets all thank NINTENDO for there love.

It will be 150 quid as Nintendo of America hinted it will be, so have Japan and there will be most likly a game/demo being bundled with it.

So it is not going to happen!

Your actually right as producing blank Gamecube discs to the public will create piracy problems so well do.
