Nintendo Game Cube On (Limited) Preview In 12 Cities

Posted by timothy on from the fanning-flames dept.

Cube Clubs exist in Boston, San Francisco and Minneapolis, with plans to run in a total of 12 cities. I went to the Boston one today. Most games were disappointing, but Rogue Leader and suprisingly Luigi's Mansion were a lot of fun. More info on Cube.ign.com. A recap of the SF one is also there." Anyone else with first-hand reactions from this?

    The only thing that I remember about the Sega consoles were the TV commericals that would end in the word "Sega" said very fast and in a distorted voice.

    Nintendo will come up with another game prism


    Just as long as they don't make it a sphere. I would hate to have it roll off the table and break.

    On this site it asks the question "What would yo do for a Nintendo GameCube? Eat slugs? Dive into a pile of Yoshi doo?" Hmm, no thanks, I think I'd just pay $200. ;-)

    I haven't seen either it or the XBox yet, but someone sent me a link to a demo (not playable, just video and audio) of the upcoming Super Mario game for the Cube. I don't usually care too much about the sound in console games, but it was pretty freaky. As far as the graphics, they weren't quite what I was expecting from what's supposed to be a state-of-the art console. Anyway, judge for yourself if you want at www.saegu.com/downloads/mario.swf (no, I don't know why they wrapped it in a Flash file).

    "Now who can argue with that? I think we are all indebted to Gabby Johnson for clearly stating what needed to be said. I'm particularly glad that these lovely children are here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age."
