Romier S Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 This was posted in IGN's news article "N-query" : why doesn't nintendo be more aggresive? i'm getting sick of this. will nintendo have any surprises for us soon? please tell me! Matt responds: Well, Nintendo is trying, even if we don't always see it. Things are happening behind the scenes for the future. And it's not as if GameCube is being entirely neglected. At the end of September, the company will drop the price of the console to $99 smackers, which is I think a pretty significant reduction. Meanwhile, there are games like F-Zero GX, Soul Calibur II and Viewtiful Joe, not to mention Rogue Squadron, Mario Kart, Pikmin II and Metal Gear Solid, all just around the corner. I would call that a very strong lineup. Source: http://cube.ign.com/mail.html If true, start saving your pennies non-cubites :wink: .

Mark E Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 In case you haven't noticed this prevalent theme in my threads, I want you all to cough up the fifteen bucks or so and get Eternal Darkness if/when this price drop occurs. Thank you, that is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 Hasn't the Cube's effectively been at that price for a good while though through the "free game" deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan B. Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 ..."I want you all to cough up the fifteen bucks or so and get Eternal Darkness if/when this price drop occurs."Aren't you forgetting RE 0 & 1, too? Brian, if they included the free game at the new price, then that'd bring the effective price to $49 then. A good deal either way. Damn it, $99 is a no-brainer...if they can't move 'Cubes at that price, there's no hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 I've heard there is going to be another round of drops for all the systems in Sept/Oct. Who know if it will happen, we were also told we weren't getting any more non online bundle PS2s anymore and we got a shitload of them yesterday.

Pretty much from my understanding...but you know public perception and all that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 Oh I know there's a difference in perception, and that's what Nintendo would be banking on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 Aren't you forgetting RE 0 & 1, too? Oh, I'm not, but I'm much more realistic about the fact that not everybody is going to enjoy Resident Evil as a franchise the way I do. For the price point, everybody should give Eternal Darkness a shot. Besides, Resident Evil already has its sequel guaranteed, I want the same to occur for ED .

Calvin Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 I agree on Eternal Darkness - every mature Cube' owner should give it a try. Maybe the price drop will get rid of their excessive retail inventory... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickC Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 I will be buying eternal darkness again when I get the chance, great game.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
