Gamecube Hits US Early

Posted by Hemos on from the get-it-while-you-can dept.

semaj writes "It looks like retailers are being told they can sell them as they come in instead of waiting for the November 18 offical release date. PlanetGameCube has the story. Go!" So, anyone want to get us a review unit or two?

  1. Why dedicated games machines? by Medievalist · · Score: 0, Troll

    Obviously there must be a reason for the sucess, but I never buy game machines - I already have plenty of computing devices that can easily be used to play games.

    If I'm away from home & desk, I generally have a book in my pocket (Marcus Aurelius typically) that can provide mental stimulation.

    I just don't understand the appeal of these dinguses... so I guess this is a troll.

  2. Waiting for Metroid by Mr.+Sketch · · Score: 1, Troll

    As much as I would like a GameCube early, I must admit that the only game on there so far that I'm looking forward to is Metroid Prime. Everything I've found says it's not coming out until 2002, so I guess that's when I'll be getting my GameCube. If anyone has any different information, let me know.

  3. Nintendo's games are horrible by NineNine · · Score: 1, Troll

    I dunno. Maybe it's just me. Maybe it's because I'm older than 12. But do gorwn adults actually enjoy playing all of the damned Mario/Luigi, and Pokemon games that are produced for Nintendo? It seems like all of the games are designed for little kids. On the other hand, PS2 has some incredible graphic, violent, adult games like Resident Evil: Codename Veronica and Silent Hill II. I have no interest at all in even considering a GameCube.
