Call it what you will - "Mario" - whatever gets that little Italian plumber to clean the pipes.

I love how both Wrestlemania X8 and Star Fox are featured in Nintendo's newest commercials and atleast one of them doesn't even have a set release date yet. Talk about deceptive advertising.
Edit-In fairness, it doesn't say available now for any of the games, but to play devil's advocate it also doesn't say anything about coming soon

The mere mention of a concrete release date for Mario Sunshine has many people scrambling for their own GCs. Just think what exclusive titles like Zelda, Metroid, Eternal Darkness (depending on how that turns out), the US release of Resident Evil, various Rare games, etc. will do for the system's fanbase. A bigger fanbase means increased everything for us day one supporters. The Gamecube has arrived!!!
Only thing that doesn't make sense is the new memory card. I mean, they will have many people buy it just because it is official, although a superior card exists for the same price (although such cards are typically more faulty). When people that aren't as brand loyal compare the features, the Interact is the easy choice at that price point. Just get the SD thing out already...

On one hand you can say Nintendo is finally competing head on, on the other you can wish they would take the high ground like they had previously.
Another way of looking at this is this: Nintendo put Starfox on the GC box, it may be a method of letting unconnected gamers that it is coming.

The Interact card sells for $29.99, $10 more than Nintendo's proposed price point. Also, nobody makes higher quality products than Nintendo. So which card is the best choice again?
