| Top Of Page |
Nintendo have finally confirmed the date for the European release of the Gamecube......3rd of May, that's the date, nearly two months after the Xbox the released and at £150, about half what the Xbox will cost. So what games will be out for the release, well how about Luigi's Mansion, Wave Race: Blue Storm, Star Wars: Rogue Leader, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, FIFA: Road To The World Cup, Burnout, Crazy Taxi, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, and Batman for just 9 of the 20 release titles. Don't worry about shortages either because there will be 'approximately one million' Gamecubes available. So it looks like th console war is going to heat up and Nintendo will be in the thick of it.

| 24th NOV 2001 - Gamecube Best Seller |
| Top Of Page |
Well it is now official, Nintendo Gamecube is now the best selling next-generation console, selling over half a million units during it's first week of availability. It sold at more than double the rate of the Xbox and 25% faster than the PS2. Obviously the fact that it cost $100 less than it's competitors helped somewhat, but it still sold over half a million units, now that's saying something.

| 21st NOV 2001 - Gamecube Low Key Launch |
| Top Of Page |
Despite the quite low-key launch of The GameCube (to be honest, I wasn't sure when it was released), Nintendo are claiming that their machine have sold more than double the amount of Microsoft's machine. Nintendo have shipped 700,000 GameCubes and claim that by the week-end they will be sold out. This could mean 1 of two things; 1-that the Xbox hasn't sold at all, or 2-that the GameCube is on more wanted list's than people thought. Either way it seem that the GameCube will not go unnoticed in this console war.

| 5th NOV 2001 - Mario on Gamecube |
| Top Of Page |
The plumber is back, on Nintendo's latest machine - the Gamecube. The same is going to be similar to previous adventures-in terms of gameplay, but of course with much better graphics and running at 60fps. The usual colorful graphics and music are obviously going to be involved (it wouldn't be Mario without them). But there may be no Luigi in this version seeing as he has his own game...We'll have to wait and see You can see a more in depth view of it at GameCubest.com.
