The first pic is the only one with bump-mapping and lighting effects on it yet. I can't wait for E3, GC will blow away X-Box and well... PS2 is garbage already so...

Oh yeah and none have Anti-Aliasing on them yet, but will on release.

i dont think its gonna actually "blow away" the xbox, BUT....
its obviously quite powerful.
i just hope they have more than 3 games at launch.

i still dont have a ps2, and i honestly dont think im gonna get one.
i AM gonna get an xbox, if for no other reason than to play halo and the new ODDworld game.

I have no exact number, but I am pretty sure the launch titles will number in the double-digits, at least, and one thing the two screenshots cannot tell you, is it all runs at 60FPS,

The Dreamcast launched with 18 titles, the Playstation 2 launched with over 20, I think Nintendo will follow suit, what alot of people need to understand is this is NOT the Nintendo 64, developers were welcomed with open arms, and many, many developers are making GameCube games, and have been for months, I am betting there will be at least 10 games released at launch,

They didn't show that many at the N64 debue. Also, the Gamecube is far easier to program for, which will mean less delays.

Very nice looking screens, regardless. Not near as cartoonish as their last rendition.

I'm impressed

2, Super Mario 64, and Pilotwings 64, but there were other factors, too, they were cartridges, which have an EXTREMELY long turn-around time, and expense, and like Reznor007 said, it is much easier to program for, do not judge their upcoming system by the amount released at launch from their last system, look at the Game Boy Advance, it is launching with no less than 25 titles,
