It had damned well better be available for people who already have GameCubes. I don't want to shell out $200 for another GameCube just so I can have a demo disc.

*Mega sad face*

Hopefully Nintendo will get it right with their next CD based console and follow Sony's path. Ie: When you fill in the warrenty card with your details, you get sent a demo disc from time to time. Although the last demo I got from Sony was early last year with bloody AirBlade >=(

Post by: "Sky" on April 16, 2003, 04:17:02 PM: I hope... I hope... we get that demo disc some other way aside from buying a GCN...

I want the Viewtiful Joe and Billy Hatcher demos... I also want those trailers on that disc =p

<---- Obsessed with video game trailers.

Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on April 16, 2003, 04:26:35 PM: Then I'll take high-rez captures of those trailers and spread them on FilePlanet and FileShack!

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHABBYQYQAAVH

Seriously, Nintendo does a poor job releasing trailers. They should hire me.

Viewtiful Joe and Billy Hatcher are playable according to the information released correct?

Post by: Grey Ninja on April 16, 2003, 09:08:40 PM: It says playable. That generally means it's interactive.

Post by: Mingesium on April 16, 2003, 11:05:43 PM: It's good to see Nintendo putting 3rd party games on the disc. I hope that they make a demo disc at least every other month.

I totally agree. I've been asking for demo discs since I found out Nintendo's next console was disc based. All of us loyal fans who bought the Cube at launch missed out on the price cut, and the platinum Cube, and the free game deal. We better NOT miss out on this. It better be available in Canada too.

Post by: Mark9112 on April 17, 2003, 08:20:43 AM: It's about time they start gettin' some demos. It would be very stupid for them to only include with new GC purchases. They'll have them for sale by they're self.

Nintendo feels so threatened right now

Who cares us Nintendo Power peeps will probely get this disk, we got all the other cool nintendo things, such as the DVD disks and such. Too bad I brought it with the Mario pack and it might end out soon :-\.

Post by: collingwoodguy on April 17, 2003, 02:52:25 PM: I hope they will give the demo disks away to Nintendo Power subscribers and offer a deluxe subscription that includes demo disks every month or two. If not I really think they should make it available at retail for a arround $5.- $10.
Title: GCN Demo Disc Revealed!
Post by: Nintendo Gamecube on April 17, 2003, 03:20:18 PM: They should be releasing demo discs when consoles launch. This way gamers have an idea about what is to come, and they can share that with their friends, and spread the games. It also gives variety to the games you can play because at launch dates there aren't man mega-hit titles.

About releasing them now. They better do it at a cheap price, or I can pretty surely say people won't buy them (unless if they have some real big games in there).

Also, the new Gamecube buyers are soo lucky. $150 for a Gamecube, Free Game, and now a Demo Disc.

Post by: kennyb27 on April 17, 2003, 05:48:40 PM: The more I hear about this, I think it will be distributed at stores and stuff, not just with GCNs. Because, IGN said that it would be free of charge, why would they include that if it was only to be shipped with GCNs.
Title: GCN Demo Disc Revealed!
Post by: dmbfan755 on April 21, 2003, 08:25:13 AM: I think its should be automatically shipped to those who have already purchased GCs or be available free at store counters. Maybe it could be sent out with Nintendo Power or some other gaming magazine.
Title: GCN Demo Disc Revealed!
Post by: Skyman_Welks on April 21, 2003, 01:49:38 PM: I hope it comes in the Nintendo power, but if it doesn't I'll just buy a gamecube to get it.

My brother got the gamecube, and I have been buying all the games so far........ and he's starting to not let me use his system anymore.
Title: GCN Demo Disc Revealed!
Post by: Gamefreak on April 21, 2003, 02:15:13 PM: I think demo discs should be packaged with Nintendo Power. Loads of people would suscribe just for the discs...People happy, Nintendo Power bigwigs happy, Nintendo over in Japan reaping in the money happy, everyone would be happy...
Title: GCN Demo Disc Revealed!
Post by: joeamis on April 24, 2003, 08:38:26 PM: I read that the demo disc is going to be free, and it will be given out at stores like
the free nintendo dvd disc was given out around last november/december.
i went into a software etc last december and got me the free nintendo dvd disc,
it had all their big 1st party titles and about 10 3rd party titles on it. i still watch it every now and then.

HAIL THE CUBE!
