"What we don't want to do is provide a date and then have to change it. That makes people angry. We'd like the release date we finally announce to be one we can stick to. Believe me - As soon as we've got a date, we'll give it to you."
In hetzelfde interview liet Nintendo iets los over de manier waarop de Gamecube in Europa in de makrt zal worden gezet. On NOE's huge GameCube advertising campaign:"It's clearly a hugely important launch for us. Expect the kind of huge marketing campaign that GameCube deserves. We will push it - hard - in all traditional ways, as well as using a dedicated website similar to gameboyadvance.co.uk. And as soon as we have a date we'll start talking to shops, preparing them for GameCube's arrival. Retailers are already contacting us anyway - they're incredibly excited, their customers are excited, and everyone's anxious to get started." 'The traditional way' dus, marketing zoals we die kennen van Nintendo. De tijd zal het leren...
