The Australian Nintendo website has been revamped - and includes the info that the Wavebird controller is due here in October for $69.95. Just around the time Mario Sunshine and a raft of other must have games are released.

Speaking of Gamecubes.
I have a few things I need to say to the Nintendo Quality Assurance Staff.
So far I have two games that I can corrupt my Memory Card with (repeatable), without too much trouble.
The first one is “Virtua Striker 2002″
The second one is “Driven”, which I sadly found out today. Now Driven save information was on the same mem card as my save files for “Smash Bros” (yes all trophies lost), Star Wars, Burnout, F12002 (and I had all Gold medals in Challenge, darnit), Spiderman, NHL HITZ 2002 (yeah all the points recieved, custom teams, bonuses unlocked, yeah I’m crying too) and Luigi’s Mansion.
Right now that all adds up to about 80 hours of gaming saved to that memory card. All gone when for some reason a save file from “Driven” decides to go insane and kill everything.
What to do when this happens? Well at the moment I have all of my Virtua Striker stuff on one memcard. So when ever that game decides to screw me over and tell me that “The memory card you have saved all of your hardwork has been corrupted by our insane genius, would you like to FORMAT your card or attempy to save again?”.. And well I always try “Retry” but that never works. Anywhoo if it is a memcard exclusively for that game you can say PFFT and save over the top, fortunately all you will lose in this case is your saved goal replays.
In the case of driven I did not have it Quarantined to one memory card and was unaware of this bug.. And alas I have now learnt. I will need to buy another memory card and hope I can regather my composure and get 218+ trophies, complete all Burnout challenges, F12002 myself to death, help luigi find mario, unlock all that cool stuff in Spiderman, oh nhl Hitz will be the real pity as it takes so long in some sections and you can only play for short sessions.. As for Star Wars, it can gather dust for all I care.
It always hurts when the you love betrays you. Damn you Nintendo.
Geez, it’s a good thing you hadn’t been playing any decent games, now that would have been a travesty ;)

Now all I need is a GameCube and I’ll be set!!! … *checks wallet* … *sigh*
