Gamecube 2 confirmed.. s'more
 

Nintendo announced at their E3 press conference that they are well into development of the GameCube 2. They also added that no one would have a head start on them. Whether this means that they are to launch the console early or something totally different, we will have more as news reaches us.

I wonder if it will actually be called Gamecube 2 and if so, will it be a cube? I guess it couldn't cuz it would look just like the GC.

*shrugs and walks away*

The might have as much as a 1 year head start on Sony, too. I heard that SCE wants to release PS3 holiday 2006...they think that the PS2 will be going strong until at least then, and they feel that the PSP will breathe some life into the system if needed.

I guess that would be good news for Nintendo fans?

I hope all 3 companies release their consoles around the same period. I want to see some real competition. Not the crap I've seen this generation. But hey, at least Nintendo is saying that they are well in development of the next console, like I didn't know that already. *hopes to get into next year's E3 since I know all 3 companies will show off what's in store next year (2005)*

I hope Nintendo doesn't release it much earlier than the other consoles. They need to release it around the same time.

Hmm, well I dunno. I think if they released at the same time it would draw more attention to all of them more than if gamecube released a year early. People may not take notice of this new generation unless they see that everyone is. And I think more people will notice when Sony change's their console.

Will someone post up a fake artist's rendition of what the Gamecube2 is supposed to look like?

People were convince this was real, but it was really made in an IGN contest as well as the above pics:

I still love the rendition that was made for the Nintendo Nexus. It would be cool if Ninty actually used that.:)

lol @ Nintendo Nexus

How was this generation crap? You saw two of the most powerfull gaming consoles go almost head to head in release dates! How did that disappoint you?

Cause Nintendo's not winning hands down. :p

yeah Joe...I thought that was pretty obvious :p

Well, if I was the one who said it, you know that Jonbo would just start crying.

I think what he meant was that the same thing 'could' happen if one console was released before the others. You know, how the PS2 has totally dominated this generation.

Anyways, even that's questionable. Sometimes releasing a console earlier than others might not help. It all depends on how the console is hyped/adveritsed coming up to its launch, with a fair selection of games at launch.
