During a recent interview , Nintendo’s Marketing & Corporate Affairs VP, Perrin Kaplan, very clearly explains the fate of Nintendo’s GameCube console.  “Are we producing any more GameCubes? No.” 

 

She also said that nintendo has absolutely no plans to develop any more GameCube video games.  Kaplan noted that Nintendo does have the inventory for people who still want to purchase a GameCube (for whatever reason).

 
Despite hearing it right from the horse’s mouth (no offense), recent conflicting Nintendo UK reports from last Friday have stated that worldwide production of the GameCube is still on-going: “I can confirm that globally, Nintendo is still continuing production of GameCube hardware and GameCube software,” stated a spokesperson for Nintendo UK, who was obviously dead wrong.

 
I don’t knwo about anyone else, but the euthanization of the GameCube looks like Nintendo is really pushing that Wii system!!!

Ubisoft’s development team will be doing Xbox 360 multi-player demos, as well as single- and multi-player demos for PC.  No official dates have been given, but Ubisoft says that the demos will come no sooner than one month before the game’s official release.  That said, it looks like players will see some demo action in September, a month before the game’s release on PC, Xbox 360, Xbox, PS2, and GameCube.
