The 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.
