GameCube Japan Launch
by Steve Gibson, Sep 14, 2001 9:46am PDTThe Nintendo GameCube just launched over in Japan and according to the story on ZDNet and CNN the initial rush wasnt all that huge. Seems the guys in Japan arent quite as excited over GameCube, in fact there were about as many foreign people in the lines as Japanese nationals. Of course, with only 3 launch titles right now and none of them involving Zelda, Metroid, or Mario...
The three launch titles for the new system are Luigi's Mansion, Wave Race: Blue Storm and Super Monkey Ball.Still gonna just wait and see on this one, but should be kinda cool to see some of the reviews of full games showing up in the near future. You can grab stuff from CUBE.IGN and GameSpot already.

NES > Genesis > 32X > PSX > PS2. I had the most fun on my NES I think. Close second is my PSX because of FF7. I may actually have had more fun with FF7 than any other game I've ever played. That's just me though. Where am I going with this anyway...

may have hurt NINTENDO. How sad.
But what is really strange is that the GBA did so damn good.

the only console in recent memory that had gigantic lineups was the PS2 launch (and shortage of systems definitely contributed to that fact).

holy crap. Maybe they could take all those units they did not sell and send them to the US so they can sell before XBOX. how funny
oh well, i am not really surprised. I am upset, bc I don't want SONY to control the market. Nintendo has alwasys been a good challenge for SONY, since most of NINTENDOS game look pretty damn good and they DID have a fanboy base that was strong. not any more.
