Nintendo GameCube Preview Disc includes playable demos for five games: Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg, Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut, Soulcalibur II, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, and Viewtiful Joe. It also includes several preview videos of GameCube games, and two bonus games that can be downloaded to a Game Boy Advance using the GBA cable.
Problems
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg Demo
Text ingame can randomly lose letters or add additional spaces. The start menu cutscene displays a black screen but plays audio perfect. If you pause ingame and hit End Game or finish the demo level, the start menu will have a large black square in the corner which goes away when you get ingame again.
Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut Demo
When entering a stage, there's a chance the UI will not render, making it impossible to see lives, rings, time limit, etc. This also breaks text and the stage clear screens when it occurs.

Soulcalibur II and Viewtiful Joe demos perfect; full speed with no noticeable glitches. Billy Hatcher and Sonic Adventure DX have text issues, and Sonic Adventure's UI can fail to render.
