Nintendo offers GameCube trials

Nintendo is letting game players check out its upcoming GameCube console at Cube Clubs, a series of tryout sessions in major American cities. Players will get to use a GameCube to play titles such as "Luigi's Mansion" and "Star Wars: Rogue Squadron."

The events, which take place now through the console's Nov. 18 launch, are being held in New York, San Francisco, Dallas, Seattle, Boston, Minneapolis and elsewhere. The Cube Club Web site offers details and tickets for free admission. --David Becker, Special to ZDNet News
