MARIO 128 IN DOUBT FOR GAMECUBE?
NOA vice president says the next major Mazza title is "definitely not certain" for 'Cube. Oo-er
11:14 It's all going swimmingly for Nintendo at the moment; great games on the horizon, sales up, and even cool extras like the Zelda bonus disc to keep the people interested. Inevitably, then, there's some slightly less positive news a-comin', Jeb.
George Harrison, US vice president of marketing and a fellow who has been admirably frank and open in the past, has suggested that Mario 128 isn't necessarily going to appear on the GameCube after all, saying in an interview with CNN Money that Mario 128's prescence on the GameCube is "definitely not certain".
Mario 128 was originally shown as tech demo ' 100 Marios', but following Mario Sunshine, legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto said that a full game featuring innovative gameplay was in development. Indeed, the gameplay's innovation was the reason given for the title not being shown at this year's E3 show.
Harrison's comment suggests that while the title is still in development, Nintendo is undecided as to whether to keep the game on 'Cube or instead use it, most obviously as a killer launch title, for its successor to the GameCube, in the same way that Factor 5's Pilotwings sequel is believed to heading to Nintendo's next hardware. Either way, the lack of a Mario title for the launch of GameCube was definitely a blow and may be a key factor in the company's current thinking.
Nintendo of Europe had no further comment to add.

It would be quite cool if the Gamecube 2 or N5 used 256MB which is yet again double the amount the previous console has, and means better graphics and better games and possibly sound as well.
Nintendo and Microsoft are going to join up anyway, don't bother discussing it.
They are a little pricey but it should be worth it, any portable colour TV under 14" is quite expensive, only the black and white ones are cheap.
Let us know what the picture quality is like, they have similar ones on ebay cheaper but your buying direct from China which is always a bit off-putting.

I took your advice and bought a small LCD TV instead from flyonthewall.uk.com - it's a little expensive, but hopefully I can play games properly now, and get back to buying them again.

If the Mario 128 is pushed over to the N5 the name has to be reconsidered since the N5 will probably have fore than 128 bits

Let me explain. I was going on about how inferior the quality of display was when put through a vga box to the PC monitor, before you suggested a seperate LCD TV screen to me.
eh ?
Um right. Being extremely off topic now, but how do your games play on your TFT screen again? I'm expecting mine any minute now...
