Editorials   Save a Spot for the Cube
- By Francis Bonnet

Every five or six years, Nintendo releases a new home console. We got the NES in 1985, the Super NES in 1991, The Nintendo 64 in 1996 and now in 2001 we have the GameCube. Oh what a wonderful little 'Cube it’s going to be... So, that’s why now is the time to begin preparation for the big event.

If you’re one of those people who only play the "newest" systems, chances are you’ll be unhooking your N64 and chucking it in the closet next to your NES and Super NES. However, if you’re like me and have every single game system hooked up to your TV set at one time, some rearranging is going to be necessary. I don’t have much room anymore around my TV since I have so many game systems, DVD players, VCRs, etc., all hooked up. So if you have extra air space, one idea is to travel over to Home Depot or Pergament and buy a stand that can be used to elevate objects. By doing this you can keep one system under the stand and another system over it. If you pay more than ten bucks for one of them, you’re paying too much. NEVER put one system directly on top of the other! I know the NES is rather flat on top, but it’s definitely not a good idea -- trust me on this. The last thing you want is to have one system falling to the floor because it wasn’t balanced properly. Also, keep in mind that the dimensions of the Gamecube are 150mm (Width) x 110mm (Height) x 161mm (Diameter), so make sure you get something that gives you a little extra room.

To help reserve the space for the all-important GameCube, we bring you:

Once you have the shelf space OK’d, you can print out this little GameCube reservation card and put in inside the spot where you intend to house your GameCube. This will help you to inform family members or roommates not to use that spot for anything else other than Nintendo perfection. On November 5th, you’ll be extremely happy that you cleared the shelf space for Gamecube earlier -- now you won’t have to worry about where to put it after arriving home. Just take it out of the box, hook it up, remove the reservation card, and place the GameCube in the spot accordingly. It’s so easy, even a child could do it.
