From GAF:
On one hand I don't care about this since most of their Gamecube games have been mediocre X-Box or PS2 ports, but on the other hand this is pretty bad for Nintendo since third-party support is already bad.
Perhaps if the idiots at Acclaim had made Turok Evolution for the Gamecube and only the Gamecube it would have sold better since the game would have looked better and might have been filled with less bugs (since they only would have had to concentrate on one version of the game).
Quote:According to an article on MCV, Acclaim has no further plans to develop games for Nintendo's Gamecube console.
Acclaim CEO Rod Cousens recently commented on the matter, saying, "Why are we to develop games for platforms that do not supply appropriate yields? We still support PS2 and Xbox, but Nintendo? No, not in the foreseeable future. "
Acclaim's current projects will still be released, but no new software is planned for Gamecube. The games still set for release are Legends Of Wrestling III, Urban Freestyle Soccer, and XGRA.
The Gamecube versions of Alias, NBA JAM 2004, and Gladiator are apparently not going to surface now, but we'll keep our eyes on this situation and keep you posted.
