So rumor has it we'll be taking a stab at some original articles/editorials around here again. To start Richard Smith (known for his help with our dthread code and chatbear.com) was crazy enough to get a Nintendo GameCube imported from across the world. What follows is what I would call a GameCube diary detailing what the machine is like and some impressions of the launch titles. Richard plans to continue the article over the next couple of days with more in depth looks at the launch titles.
First up was Luigi's Mansion, which, although I didn't notice until much later, has zero loading time. There's no pauses, loading screens, nothing. [snip] Wave Race: Blue Storm, which again I'll have a full review of later this week. I always enjoyed this game on the N64, I wasn't it's biggest fan, but I'd had some fun with it. So far, it's more of the same. Perhaps it's too much of the same. [snip]
More stuff coming soon, thanks to Richard for kicking things off!
