MCV issue 125 (1 March 2001)

The second of four 2001 issues I'll be scanning of UK trade news sheet MCV.

In this issue:

Nintendo UK's first office opens on this day; until 2001, their British operations were outsourced. Clearly a big deal for the retail sector.
After years of licensing its hits to other publishers, Capcom enters the European market with its first two PS2 releases: Street Fighter EX3 and Onimusha.
Dixons annoys people by discounting FFIX by £12 less than two weeks after release. Now Final Fantasy is still going but Dixons is long gone. Coincidence?
Intel enters the PC peripherals market. Wait... Intel made peripherals? Huh.
Top of the all-formats chart this week: Final Fantasy IX, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and Theme Park World.
