   Once upon a time, before the Dream was Cast, there was a Belt of Black, a Japanese sword, and a well-formed Virtua Fighter sporting a silver exoskeleton. But there was also...a Cube for Games. In essence, a Gamecube; and it wasn't Nintendo's. If Sonic Team had had their way in the name game three years ago, the white box of Sega goodness we all have gracing our shelves would be the G-Cube; and the colorful crate of Nintendo goodness we've all plunked down advance payments for would probably be something entirely different.

   While chilling at the recent Spaceworld show over in the homeland, Naka caught the name "Gamecube" and recalled it as Sonic Team's candidate for the name of what eventually came to be called Dreamcast. Or close enough...the name Naka-san and the gang suggested was "G-Cube", where the "G" stands for Game. Coincidence? Or something more? Betrayal is in the air as our story continues next week, in another exciting episode of...the S-Files! (Translation source: Video Senki)

Naka and Inafune: Sonic Meets Mega Man 'I see them...I see their blood...' Stick it in THIS hot box.  You know you want it. Dammit, quit fooling around there and go make some frikkin' games!
