"Wow! Great price point, good number of games to get the ball rolling and good news about the RGB and 60hz mode. I think this is very aggressive and should ensure good success in the UK. The sooner the better..."

Mario Aguera, Bits Studios, Die Hard director
"When Nintendo first came to talk to us about Project Dolphin some time ago, one of the things it stated was that it would go for a very aggressive pricing policy on its hardware. With a launch price of �150 it has certainly done that. Another thing it was keen to emphasise was how much it cared about the quality of the final television display, so the fact that it is amending the hardware to include an RGB SCART output 60hz display is great news. And some people thought Nintendo didn't care about Europe."

Simon Byron, Bastion
"European gamers have become used to being disappointed by Nintendo - which makes the announcement even more astonishing. Obviously we'd all like to see the Cube arrive sooner than May, but apart from that Nintendo has pulled out the stops. Although the launch line-up includes some tat, there are more than enough quality games to keep gamesplayers seriously entertained, and the inclusion of a 60Hz boot-up mode makes the European GameCube the best in the world - especially at that amazing price. All-in-all, excellent news."

Joe Booth, BAM! Entertainment
"The �150 price point is fantastic news - it instantly makes the console far more accessible to a wider audience. GameCube's remarkable technical specifications also make it an incredible platform to develop for. It looks like 2002 is going to be the most exciting console year yet!"

Sounds pretty good, don't you think? It looks like the GameCube is going to get quite some support from the European developers! All-in-all, excellent news... ;)
