GameCube Diary 2

25
As promised by Richard, here's the continued coverage of the import Nintendo GameCube. Richard takes a brief look at the launch title Luigi's Mansion which we just tacked on to the original article as page3 considering it's a continuation. A look at Wave Race will follow in the next few days.

Controlling Luigi is probably going to be the first problem players encounter, due largely to what initially appears to be a cumbersome control system. The left analogue stick is used to control Luigi's movement, while the yellow analogue stick is used to control the direction he points his torch or his vacuum - very much like the independent control you would have on a tank and it's turret [snip]

In the interest of sharing the spotlight, we've also got some possible Playstation2 stuff lined up as well (although the machine is already out, so it's not quite the same), and of course the X-Box will hopefully get the same treatment.

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.
