Logo (April 18, 2003)

Visuals: Over a black background is the then-current NDCube logo (consisting of "Nd" in the corporate Nintendo logo font, and "CUBE" below in the same font used for the Nintendo GameCube logo, all in a blue outline) bounce down before settling in the middle of the screen, with holes where the letters would be. The white letters of the logo then drop down one by one into their holes (the logo slightly jolts back as each letter falls onto it), and the logo becomes 2D as copyright reading "© 2003 NDCUBE Co.,Ltd." appears below.

Technique: 2D digital animation.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen only on Tube Slider on Nintendo GameCube.
