    Nice one.... thanks for the list.

    No sign of the Star Fox shooter either. Is Mario 128 due this year in Japan?

    "Animal Crossing never to make Europe.

    Speaking to Nintendo execs recently, one sad, sorry and hugely dishonourable fact has come to light. Animal Crossing, the seminal, joyous life sim from Miyamoto, will never see the light of day in Europe.

    Issues with localisation, combined with an untested game mechanic, and the fact that the next in the series is well underway, has extinguished this dull flicker of hope that burned within us.

    This said, Nintendo insiders hint that Animal Crossing 2 will be well worth the wait. One told us, “Animal Crossing 2 will become the new way of communicating for the console generation. It will see a happiness-themed community of friends the likes of which have never been imagined.”


    nooooooooooo :confused::( :mad:

    Maybe when Freeloader comes out it may be an option. It's petty easy to get Animal Crossing on eBay in the UK.

    Of course you need an NTSC compatible TV for freeloader...

    Freeloader is the ultimated in Cubed Vapourware. I have it ordered since last June, the day my credit card gets billed for it I'll probably die of shock.

    Agreed.
    Yesterday on Amazon.co.uk, the release date was 10th January - now they say this today :

    "we are currently unable to offer this item. It may be out of stock at the manufacturer. If you would like to purchase this item, we recommend that you occasionally check this page to see if it has become available"

    Is there any other way to play import gamecube games (such as a mod chip) ?
