GameCube Preview Discs

GameCube Preview Discs is a demo series for the GameCube. It was used to advertise and preview upcoming, as well as already released GameCube games. Often, it also included downloadable game demos for the Game Boy Advance, a library section featuring games mostly from Nintendo, and a Hot News section where upcoming games are talked about, as well as cheat codes and saved games.

They were often served as a preview for the Nintendo Power magazine, and each volume was sold for $4.99 each, with the exceptions of the Mario Kart: Double Dash‼ Bonus Disc and the Resident Evil 4 Preview Disc which were both given out to those that pre-ordered the respective games.
