One of a handful of subsidiary software companies producing for Nintendo, Japanese developers NdCube were formed to broaden the range of exclusive and original titles for the GameCube and GameBoy Advance. They are perhaps best known as the uncredited co-developer of F-Zero: Maximum Velocity on the GameBoy Advance, and also to a lesser extent, the cult futuristic racer Tube Slider for the GameCube.
Pool Edge was their first GameCube title: a pool simulation, nonetheless, released exclusively in Japan nearly four years ago now. For some reason, perhaps the lack of interest in the game of pool itself, it remains one of a handful of Japan-only GameCube games to carry relatively obscure status. In terms of popularity in the pool simulation genre, it sits a distant fourth behind the (admittedly excellent) Monkey Billiards mini-games from the two Super Monkey Ball games, and of course, Ignition Entertainment's own Pool Paradise. However, Pool Edge deserves more than just a mention for its anonymity.
