PrettyClick to enlarge busy trying to keep things from blowing up around here but here is something to keep your eye on. Nintendo is about to go public with all kinds of info on their new next-gen console system. It's been confirmed in Japan that the new system is called GameCube now. Here's a rundown of some URLs where you can find info on the new system and the games. Oh we all know what we want some snapshots of the games!

- GameCube unveiled: Nintendo , NintenDojo , CUBE.IGN , GameSpot
- GameCube games: Pokemon (duh) , Metroid (yeah!) , Zelda (yeah!) , Wave Race (ok...) , StarWars Episode1 (bleh) NintenDojo ,
- GameCube controller: GameSpot

Of course the other thing everyone else is interested in is the specs of the machine. Well here is the full listing linked or a few of the important bits below:

405mhz CPU (0.18 micron)
1.6Gig/s bandwidth
202.5mhz bus
6-12million polys/second displayed. (full game running, with lighting/AI etc)
