Well, heres another source.

If the IGNCube staff wasn't so damn lazy on the holiday's, they would be able to confirm if its 100% true or not. But since IGN is a big company, they feel they deserve 2 weeks off for no reason.

Why the hell would you work over Xmas? They're videogames, they only come out once a week, it's not like it's urgent information. You wouldn't catch me working Xmas if I worked at IGN either.

gekko, do you have any rage you are trying to hide inside you?

I've never heard of "Gamecube Land" or this "Gamecube Network" they say is their source. I don't think it really makes it any more reliable.

I agree with gekko. I'll wait until IGN or Gamespot reports it.

looks good but i'm going to go with the consensus and wait for some more concrete evidence

I've worked for GC Network. :eek: WhiteStar set it up. It's a terrible site!!

Oh ya, and if this thing is indeed backwards compatible, Nintendo is stupid. It was a stupid idea before PS2 came out, and it proved to be a stupid idea after PS2 was released. Why copy it?

I know Xbox won't do it, since some saves cannot be copied off the HD without illegal devices. And although it's possible to create something to move your saves, it's too complicated to the common consumer, so it just won't happen.

Now, let's see if Nintendo makes a smart decision.
