NINTENDO GAMECUBE Product Update

What do MTV, Britney Spears and Mario(TM) have in common? They were all born in 1981 and will be celebrating their 21st birthdays this year. Not only will Mario turn 21, but he will also make his NINTENDO GAMECUBE(TM) debut later this year. Other personalities will also be making appearances on NINTENDO GAMECUBE as the library is expected to grow to more than 100 titles by the end of September. Nintendo fans better be ready to get the party started.
