It looks like there are a lot of Link fans out there and it sure is comforting to see a GameCube title heading up the pack like this. Let's just hope that our man from Hyrule has more staying power than the opposition!

Hi everyone, glad you could get to this page. Please share this message with any of your friends who aren't having any luck viewing the site.
You've probably noticed that PGC has been having technical problems for the past week or so. The server is currently operating under temporary fixes, which is why it is not very stable. We are working on implementing a permanent solution to the problem.

Mario Kart was just demoed at the Gamers' Summit with 16-player cooperative play!
The news from Europe about Mario Kart being 16 players was correct. Nintendo has just demoed Mario Kart: Double Dash with co-operative play.

Eight GameCubes can be connected for LAN play, and with co-operative play, this means up to 16 people can play (there is an eight kart limit).
