As part of his London conference, Shigeru Miyamoto has confirmed that the spice (orange) coloured Gamecube will be coming to Europe. However, don't expect to pick one up on launch day. Shigeru hinted that the spice coloured variety will be available shortly after the system's European launch. ''To start with in Europe we are going to introduce lilac and black GameCubes, but because we really want as many people as possible to play with Nintendo GameCube, we are soon going to add an orange colour. We are planning to increase the colours later on. I think the compact body with a variety of colours will be suited to the tastes of Europe, rather than a black gigantic body (nice dig at the Xbox - ed).''

There's still no word on whether the spice coloured Gamecube will ever be released in the US however. What a shame!
