Nintendo does another thing that should have been done two years ago

[OB1]

From IGN Cube:

April 16, 2003 - Last week IGNcube reported that in May Nintendo would release a GameCube demo disc with several sneak-peek looks at unreleased games -- in playable form. Today, via a promotional advertisement for the deal, the company may have inadvertently unveiled which titles would be included on the disc, and it looks to be a strong lineup.
Playables on the disc, according to the promo:


Splinter Cell
Viewtiful Joe
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
Sonic Adventure DX
IGNcube has also learned that a playable of the US Soul Calibur II will be on the disc.

There could be more playable titles on the disc in addition to these, and though Nintendo hasn't confirmed it, there will likely be a handful of video previews too.

The demo disc will be free of charge.



We'll have more on the disc in the near future. Stay tuned.

Wow, this is the first demo disc Nintendo has ever made (I believe). I bet those Nintendo marketing guys feel real proud of themselves right now.

NOA Marketing Guy #1: Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to be blown away!

NOA MG#2: We present to you... the demo disc!

NOA MG#1: It's amazing! What we did was put a bunch of trial versions of games onto one disc, so that people can sample games before they buy them!

NOA MG#2: Is this amazing marketing or what!

NOA MG#1: I bet those guys at Sony and Microsoft are quaking in their boots from this announcement! No one can match our marketing genius!
