Gamecube Preview Disk at Best Buy


Well, since I wasn't able to get to E3, this will be my first chance to play Soul Calibur II, Viewtiful Joe, and Billy Hatcher.

I'll let you know what I think later.

I picked it up for $9.99 at Best Buy. I love the "NOT FOR RESALE" on the package... I guess that's not true.

Glen

I read something on GameSpot about this. I think it's a great idea.

I've heard it's supposed to be with a new Cube purchase, or for sale for $9.99 (which would explain why it's for sale for $9.99 everywhere and marked with "Not for Resale").

Well, I can definately say that the hype about Viewtiful Joe is well deserved. I just loved playing my way through the demo on that one. I can see myself playing my way through it more than a few times.

Soul Calibur II is much better than I remember Soul Calibur being, and I loved Soul Calibur. Cassandra has some kick ass throws that I've found thus far.. Nothing feels better than whupping the holy hell out of that Marilyn Manson wanna be Voldo. I can't wait to get a chance to play around with Kilik, my character of choice from the DC version.

A demo disc from Nintendo? "Welcome to 1995, Nintendo!"

$10. Hmmm, typical.

Good grief..... Does every thread have to turn into a comparison of Penis sizes of the three gaming companies?

Ugh.

it's a good thing the gc is getting out demo disks, but i personally wouldn't shell out $10 for them. Too bad Nintendo Power went to hell, it would be cool to have a monthly demo from nintendo.

Yeah, it's an awesome game selection for a demo, but $10 is CRAZY. I could get 2 Dreamcast games for that.
