100 titles planned for Gamecube??

On the May 7th rumour section of the Nchronicles, the editors state that about 100 titles are currently planned for the GC, while 45 are already in development. Their source was IGNInsider, so can anyone who pays for the service verify if this is true??

Looking forward to the GC myself, I hope the news is true. As long as 50 of those games aren\'t Pokemon.

God I hope Gamecube games are cheap! not that $49.99 standard. That\'s expensive!!! Anyway count me in. nintendo makes the best games, and I\'ve always been a fan.

im sure there are more games in the making for the gamecube, but mabye it is 100, nintendo dosent like 3rd party companies....
i bet there are more than 100 though, with x box having like 200 already, im sure there are about 150...
but hold on 12 days till e3...(which is what we are all waiting for, so we can yell aloud who will win these console warz!!)
:smokin:

I\'d tank Nintendo\'s walls if they allowed even one Pokemon title (although that\'s inevitable). 12 days to E3; I\'m praying that my 2 years of patience for Nintendo pays off with the Cube.

I\'ll bet the farm and say since Nintendo is so willing to sell GC at $200 that the games will be about $65

Nintendo needs to make their money somewhere

yeah ddayrl, i always wondered how nintendo would make up for the losses with their system, it is alot of new technology and stuff! i bet that what theyll sell for... too bad..

well here\'s a link to some GC info at insider

let me know if it gets you in or not  and keep it quiet if it does work.

nope sure doesn\'t work - it wanted me to register

why don\'t you just cut and paste though - that should work

cause its 12 pages +

Post it anyway.  Just post it in pieces.

Actually - and I won\'t offer anything to back this up, if you want proof, find it yourself - Nintendo is set to make a profit on each system, even with a 200 price tag.  I don\'t know, chalk it up to no DVD player or something...

Regardless, I still wouldn\'t doubt it if the games were $60.  While they won\'t be making up for any losses, one might say that "they\'s greedy bastards, ain\'t they?"

We\'ll see, hopefully they cut us some slack ... especially since with gas the way it is, it costs me the extra $20 just to drive to the store!

Once again, I agree with Ddaryl. If Nintendo launchs the system at a low price of $150-$200, they will have to charge more for the games. Take loss in hardware, jack up software price. That is just the way it goes.

Still, the GC digital media *should* cost $39.99-$49.99, something around there. But, I actually doubt it costs that.

Eiksirf already said it but I guess everyone skipped over his post. Nintendo can still make a profit if they sell it for $200. They made a lot of good business deals and they are using some cheap technology.

Just a little food for thought.

A few reasons why I think GC\'s price will be on par or cheaper than PS2\'s or X-Box\'s:

1. Mini-DVD\'s will cost less than an average DVD. Liscensing fees will only cost pennies this time around.

2. Nintendo\'s utilizing some of the cheapest materials out there for the GC hardware (the copper made
"Flipper," for one), while also excluding features that  made/will make the other consoles expensive (DVD, CD player, etc.).

3. Peter Main has stated repeatedely that Nintendo is aiming for a "mass-market friendly" price for the GC.
