It has now been confirmed that Nintendo's next generation console will be called Nintendo Game Cube (Oh, how original! Hard to guess what shape it will be in...), already nicknamed N-Cube. It will sport a PPC-variant CPU from IBM, called Gekko. Graphics hardware is designed by ArtX and S3. Interestingly, former Amiga game developers Factor 5 are involved on the software side writing the sound system. The machine is due out conveniently in the first half of 2001. IGN have opened a Cube webpage with lots of info.

First off, arn't S3 and NVIDIA the same company now a days?
Also u know this was developed by IBM this time around and not Nintendo.
All it needs is a Keyboard, Mouse, and Harddrive, and we are set. The Dreamcast already has a Keyboard and Mouse, they just lack a Harddrive, then even they could be ready for Amiga, FreeBSD, and Linux, which from what I have heard, have all ran on it. Which is badly needed, the MPEG player I am using on my DC now is written for windows, and so are all the upcoming emulators, I don't want to see that on my DC!!!! :O/
Anyhow, let's hope Amiga and Harddrives make it to the new IBM err um Nintendo.
