It may be possible, I just think think that it is unlikely. I mean take the Xbox, for example. It is getting a MGS game that is based on both the PSX version of MGS and the PS2's MGS2.

Nintendo have already sent out Gamecube game developing software to Squaresoft so we should see a FF.Also Squaresoft are already making an exclusive FF game for the GBA.

Ah, but Capcom managed to fit the whole of Resident evil 2 on to one cartridge and that took up two disks on PSX.
Anyway, I was referring to an exclusive Final Fantasy game on N64, one that would easily fit on to a cartridge.

But, now that Nintendo are bringing out Gamecube, it would be a good idea for Nintendo to buck up their ideas and get Squaresoft to produce games for them.

I very much doubt that the actual PS2 version of MGS2 will be released on the Gamecube. The Gamecube would more likely get it's own version.

And on the subject of 'Nintendo growing up', I completly agree. Just think how the N64 could have benefited from a Final Fantasy game.

As for a sequel to Goldeneye. It WAS Perfect Dark. I know one or 2 of the team went off to make Timesplitters on the PS2 (who knows, they might even convert that to the Gamecube too) but the rest of the team came up with Perfect Dark which was a great game even if it did suffer from slowdown in places and not make Goldeneye's impact.

The way I see it, most PS2 games can be converted quite easily to the Gamecube and Xbox, hopefully with better graphics and features.

So if the Gamecube is going to end up with the bulk of good PS2 and Xbox games and have plenty of exclusive blockbusters from Rare and Nintendo then it SHOULD come out on top.
