Are you curious about what the GameCube games will look like?
Here's your chance to see the system's fluid graphics through
Real-formatted video streaming. If you're connected to the
Internet through a telephone line, try viewing these video
previews first in 56K. If you're connected through a network,

 If
you're looking for a roll call of famous Nintendo characters,
look no further than Super Smash Bros. Melee. Based on
the original N64 multiplayer game, this title brings Mario,
Donkey Kong, Link, Kirby, Yoshi, and a slew of other characters
into a free-for-all brawl. Players can select characters based
on their signature moves and weapons, and then go into fighting
modes where objectives range from being the last man standing to
collecting the most gold coins during a battle.

 Luigi--Mario's
younger brother and costar of several games through the
years--has inherited a spooky old mansion provided he can summon
the courage to spend the night within its haunted walls. Luigi
arrives prepared to clean house with a device that stuns ghosts
with light and then vacuums them up safely. The gameplay in Luigi's
Mansion gets tricky when some of the bigger light-shy ghosts
vanish before you can put the Hoover on them.

 Eternal Darkness infuses the survival-horror genre with
loads of fresh ideas and visuals. For example, it appears from
the demo that in lieu of playing through location-based game
levels, players will mark the game's progression by playing as
13 different characters whose lives span 2,000 years of history,
starting with a Roman centurion and culminating with a modern
heroine.

Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II, you play as

fabulously familiar locales. LucasArts and game developer Factor
5 definitely stayed on target for this one.

 Created
by Zelda auteur Shigeru Miyamoto, Pikmin is an
action-strategy game in which you play as a Tom Thumb-size
spaceman who has crash-landed among a race of sprouts with legs.
These sprouts are more than willing to team up to move
obstacles, defend your base camp against predators, and bridge
impassable gaps so that you can find the necessary materials to
fix your ship and return home.
 With
this hot little controller in your hands, you'll be as free as a
bird. The Wireless Wavebird controller lets you play games from
a distance of up to 30 feet (that's first down to you football
fans). And because the unit relies on radio frequencies rather
than the infrared light signals that most TV remotes use, you
can sit back, relax, and enjoy the game without trying to point
the controller at the TV.
 Will
the GameCube Play Nintendo 64 Cartridges?
No, because with the launch of Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo is
moving from silicon-based cartridges to an optical disc medium,
which effectively makes backward-compatibility impossible.

as a powerful, portable game system, Game Boy Advance units will
connect to the controller ports of Nintendo's forthcoming
GameCube system. For example, players might be able to use the
Game Boy Advance to set plays in a GameCube sports title without
their opponents being able to see the selections. Other
applications are rumored, so stay tuned for more details!
