NIntendo has gotten Gamecube.com ?

I think Nintendo finally got Gamecube.com cuz I typed it in and it went to NintendoGamecube.com and not some weird thing saying click here to enter and it takes you to a site "selling" video games. Or Nintendo inked a deal paying the people to like Gamecube.com to NintedoGameube.com

Yes they did.

I wonder how much Nintendo paid for it. It seemed like the owner of the URL would never give it up.

GameKinG · 02-17-2002, 06:30 PM

Nintendo mya not have paid anything for it. Its in their name. The guy whoowneed it just wasted money buying it in the first place.

One Winged Angel · 02-17-2002, 06:38 PM

Ahhh thats right. All that liscensed crap. Lucky Nintendo. why did they wait til' now to take the URL?

LOL, i went there like a week ago, but they didnt own it yet.

I don't think the guy who owned it wasted his money. I read somewhere that the guy bought gamecube.com before Nintendo registered the Gamecube name. So they probably did pay some money.

Doesnt matter if the guy registered that name a year before Nintendo named the GameCube.

That guy has no copywrite on it. Nintendo does.

If the guy made something and copywrited the name, then nintendo wouldnt of even been able to make the GC name GameCube.

So plain and simple. the guy wasted his money.

This is just a follow up, but I sent an email to Nintendo asking about the site and the reply was that they dont own the site but should go to NintendoGameube.com for the latest Gamecube news and info. How can I if the site hasnt been updated in a long time!
