Wall Street Journal piece on Gamecube
You can read the story if you subscribe at www.wsj.com. They basically said that Nintendo is finally letting violent games on to it's platform in a bid to capture some older gamers. They don't think they can compete against Sony and Microsoft in the long run without the older gamer market.

LOL at the end of the article.
But that may be a necessary sacrifice for Nintendo to win back gamers like Doug Herbert, who grew up playing Nintendo games but recently bought a PlayStation 2. “I’m 20. I don’t want to chase little frogs around” in a kids’ game, he says. Mr. Herbert says the GameCube version of Resident Evil is a good start, but he’s a big fan of Grand Theft Auto 3, which Sony’s PlayStation 2 has an exclusive lock on through late 2004. “You don’t see games like that coming out on GameCube,” he says.

Wow! There's a game out there for the Cube where you can chase little frogs around? Which game is it...I'm running out to buy it IMMEDIATELY.
Guess I'm not as "mature" as Doug.
