Aren’t there rumors of a delay until 2002?
Although there are rumors that Nintendo will delay the GameCube in the U.S. there is no at all to suspect that this will happen. In a rant about this delay insanity, our comrade Matt Casamassina of IGNCube confirmed that these reports blossomed out of control after one inaccurate reporter mentioned the possibility. The report in question came from rumors section of an issue Next Generation Magazine. The rumor essentially said something to the extent that “a little bird in Redmond, WA” told them that the NGC wasn’t as easy to develop as Nintendo had hoped and that the company feared having its system go head-to-head with Microsoft’s X-Box. This rumor has spread like wildfire but it’s total malarkey. We can only assume the “little bird” came from Microsoft, also in Redmond. Perhaps Nintendophiles have grown used to the “Nintendo delay” one too many times and are already bracing for the worst. Don’t. Nintendo have confirmed and re-confirmed that that the GameCube will be launched in Japan
