For The Record: There are Ten Gamecube Release Games.

I've seen a lot of people, in a lot of different threads on a lot of different boards say that the US launch of the GameCube will have 3 or 4 games. This is not true.

Luigi
Wave Race
Crazy Taxi
Super Monkey Ball
Madden 2002
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3
Universal Studios
Dave Mirra 2
Simpsons Road Rage
Rogue Squadron 2

There WAS talk about these also being release games but I don't think that'll happen:

NHL Hitz
All Star Baseball 2002
Batman
Extreme G 3

Fifa 2002 will be released about a week after the system.

This is the most current list of release games I've seen. Will they all come to fruition? I don't know.

But I DO know that the launch will AT LEAST have

Luigi
Wave Race
Super Monkey Ball
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3
Rogue Squadron 2
and
Madden 2002

Pikimin is a Dec 3 release along with Super Smash Bros

I'd like to point out, just for the sake of posterity that the X-Box version of Tony Hawk 3 was in development for several months more, with several more people working on it that the GameCube version.

And the GameCube version will be released first as most X-Box players will be playing Tony Hawk 2x.

At one point in time only 2 people were working on the GameCube version of THPS3. That impresses me...I may be the only one...but it really does.

After much research on the cube ad box, i decided to pick up a GC on day one.
and TH3........
The main reason is that most of the games i want for the box, will hit the ps2 so i dont need a second system to play the same games.

If "N" could release SSBM on launch, I'd be all over that, but as it now stands - no sale for me - yet.

Am at my friend's game store right now, their copies of Rogue Squadron 2 and some others arrive with the shipment tomorrow.

GC is gonna tear the it up, just keep that horrible Simpsons game AWAY from me. They havent made decent Simpsons game since the arcade one.
