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.
