I thought this was already known.

Makes no difference to me. Besides it's not as though we haven't seen the games already, so we know how they'll look, right?

<shrug> Just means I won't need to keep two consoles.....I can just keep my existing library of great GC titles.

The expression well, duh comes to mine.

The problem comes when people seem to expect the Cube to do graphics worse then the PS2....
(and thus a gamecube running at a faster clockspeed and much more ram too do even worse graphics)
===========================

Incidently, not sure about that Mii thing, it seems a great little idea, but it all depends on how well its exacuted.
How well does it work online, ect.

I can't see support for Mii characters being a long-term thing.

It would be as soon as companys spot they dont need to be in the same simplistic style.

Just take the same charecter data, and use more realistic models...if it fits the game.
Your same charecter could look different in each game, but still be recognisable.

A rather expensive Gamecube.

Think of it as Gamecube Lite then. With a cool new controller and online support. (You DID buy a DS Lite, right? Smaller upgrade there, since there was absolutely NO change to the processing power or graphics.)

Excite Truck preview @ CVG:

It may have a stupid name and ugly trucks, but Excite Truck is incredible. If you like your games fast and OTT, you seriously need to check this out NOW

The controls will take time to adjust to but once you grasp it, the visceral feeling of it is awesome.

Trauma Center preview @ CVG:

Trauma Center: Second Opinion - a surgery sim that has gamers performing operations - usually gets buried under the mountain of hype for Zelda, Mario and other big-shot titles. But after an extended hands-on session, we discovered a title that's so inventive, intuitive and outright fun that it deserves to be on everyone's Wii wish list.

So, for example, if you have the scalpel selected you point the remote at the incision line, press and hold the B trigger to apply the blade to the patient and move the remote to slice. But even more impressive, the game uses the buttons on remote in ways to enhance the feeling of using each tool. For example, clamping an object with the forceps requires you to push both the A (on the top of the remote) and the B buttons. Genius.

We had concerns about the Wii remote's accuracy, because we know through playing the DS version that precise application of the tools, particularly the scalpel, forceps and laser is essential. The slightest slip could injure your patient. But believe us - quash all your concerns now because we had no problem whatsoever making tiny movements on screen with absolute precision. The stitching has been massively improved, with the bad gesture recognition of the DS version now refined to 100 percent reliability.

Good stuff as expected

My "launch get" list:

Wii Sports
Excite Truck
Red Steel
Trauma Center
Zelda
Wii Play

Maybe Monkey Ball, Madden, Bleach, Metal Slug.

Good news on Trauma Centre, I can't wait to slice and stitch. I might even be getting interested in Excite Truck too. *Weird*.

Hmmm, guts.

Nope. But when I said it, I was wrong, apparently
