Default The First GameCube Game to have 2 discs!

During a retail information event today, Nintendo announced some interesting info concerning Resident Evil for GameCube. First off, the game’s Japanese release date was set as March 22. Secondly, and much more interesting is the fact that Resident Evil will be the first GameCube game to span multiple discs. Apparently, just one of the GameCube Optical Discs won’t provide enough space for the movies and features Capcom is cramming into this one. We’ll have more info as it breaks.

They must be adding something extra that takes up a lot of space....

First of all, no, you can't.

Second, who said the disc can hold 4.5GB? Not anyone who knows anything about the disc. In fact, nobody ever said the disc can be multilayered.

But honestly, what the hell are they doing to the game? And I sure hope they put the second disc in where the mem card holder is. I hate that little swinging crap they use for DVDs.

I don't know what they are putting into that game, but in a funny/weird/ironic twist, shouldn't that end the argument once and for all?

You know, the argument saying that GCN's discs are too small...
Yup! You heard my right, I said it should END it.

Cause I mean, wouldn't it be dumb if people starts saying..

"see, I told you so! The discs aren't big enough for developers."

LOL, That'll be extremely dumb, because the solution--which we stated about 1000 times--will be right there in their faces, and they STILL won't see it. hehhe

like..."hellooooooooooo, multiple discs?"
"Gee golly! You know, that may just work!"

Maybe they're loading in a ton of FMV and sticking in a ton of extras...

Maybe the second disc is a bunch of extras, like with some DVDs... but the US is going to get ripped off and the second disc will only be released in Japan
