Nintendo of Europe are apparently planning a dirt cheap Gamecube/Colosseum bundle that sounds rather exciting.

This news item is more than 45 days old. Updates are unlikely and newer information may already be available.

Far be it from us to promote unfounded conjecture in relation to Nintendo products, we place the blame entirely with Nintendo Official Magazine if we're wrong. (Nintendo's "I love Horses" magazine tie in show jumping game will apparently feature Rapidash as a secret character).

For only about ï¿½160, or ï¿½109 in real money, you can buy:

A Gamecube (shock, horror)
A Gamecube controller (gasp)
Pokémon Colosseum (cor, blimey)
Pokémon Box
GBA to Cube link cable
Memory Card 251 (flash translucent version)

The exciting, yet bolded thing on the above list is Pokémon Box- the Gamecube game that disappeared into obscurity quicker than a former Big Brother contestant.

We all thought that this memory expansion for Pokémon RS, which acts like the PC in Pokémon Stadium, and allows Pokémon to be stored on a memory card, had been pulled from European release, and the unreleased discs blasted into space from the European Space Agency launch pad in French Guyana.

The interesting thing here is that, if this bundle "rumour" is to be believed, will Pokemon Box be getting a more general release for those blantantly cool enough to own a cube prior to this release. More as we get it, batfans.
