Nintendo Game Cube On (Limited) Preview In 12 Cities

psxndc writes: "Nintendo has set up "Cube Clubs" at various US cities that allow you to go in and play (mainly first party) Game Cube games. 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?

    Hope the preview cubes don't crash like the xbox has!

    Let's see, in two years Nintendo will come up with another game prism [what shape is next?] that will not run previous console games and cost twice as much.

    What a disappointment.

    Who cares about the GameCube. Gamecube is an also-ran already. Xbox has won.

    Geez, another kiddy-kiddy game box from the kiddy-kiddy game company. Pushing their PokeCrap on us. I know I dont want no kiddy games.

    It's like this...Xbox has won already. They've been promoting heavily for the last 2 months. Nobody beats Microsoft. Games over when Bill says it's over. Everybody I know wants Xbox, all the mags have been saying that it's gonna smoke everybodys ass. How's PS2 gonna match it? It's got a 1 GHz P3 (vs a 200MHz proprietary chip), and Nvidia. Nvidia is the 3D king -- nobody beats them. It's over. Microsoft wanna eat your lunch they'll just take it -- nothing you can do about it.
