I know Acclaim left Ninty, so we won't get Burnout 3, but why didn't:

Eidos give us Hitman: Contracts
Why is Max Payne on GBA and not Cube
EA give us Fight Night 04
Why do Ubisoft take so long to bring games onto Cube
Why don't Rockstar make games for Cube
Codemasters give us McRae
THQ give us Moto GP

Is it cuz they wouldn't sell on the Cube?? I need answers man . . . . . . . .

You might see more Eidos titles on the Cube in future, providing Ubi also swing our way:

How the hell did you manage to come to that conclusion? Nintendo have the best exclusive titles of all three formats. How many games can you honestly say you've spent hours doing nothing, yet still enjoying yourself so much? Mario Sunshine is one of those few for me.

Metroid Prime and Zelda are two of the most epic adventures out (bar RPG's, and no, Zelda isn't an RPG), and not to mention unique, involving and stunning titles like Pikmin and Eternal Darkness.

I'll admit that these AAA titles are few and far between, and the XBox has more quality titles of the three formats, but of the three Nintendo have the best exclusives. Saying Nintendo has failed to deliver amazing games is a load of crap. Try playing through Pikmin. Try messing around on Mario Sunshine. Try throwing plant pots at villagers in Zelda.

These are timeless games. I must have played through Pikmin about 3-4 times now, just because it's such a playable game, and I recently returned to both Mario and Zelda ro rediscover Nintendo's past 'Cube glory. You may take it for grasnted the first time you play through it, but something as simple as FLUDD in Sunshine opens the game right up on your second play through; just trying to beat the game design with your own combination of wall-kicks and hovering is fun enough.

I don't understand how people can say the Cube doesn't have enough killer titles, I must have 20-30 great titles for my Cube, and over 50 all together.

Surly there are more Kings than just the King of England, e.g. King of spain... etc...

So there can be more than one King in various countries and you'd be the king of all of those.

King of Kings.

Rayman 3 did better than Beyond Good and Evil and pretty much the same as Prince of Persia...

And they were released at Christmas.

Go figure.

Nononono, I was right.
You can't have more than one king of one thing - and of exclusives, GC is the only king. And therefore king of that king.

I got rid of my Gamecube because of 'lack of amazing games syndrome'. I think the Gamecube could have been so good, but it really has failed, well at least this generation of games, all because there were never any CLASSIC games e.g Vice City for Ps2 or Halo for Xbox. Nintendo just thought Zelda would pull them through.

People are sick of cloned Zelda titles. Sorry Nintendo, but thats true.

Rockstar make the occasional game for the Gamecube.

Nintendo have a small market share and the share of that that are adults is tiny. Therefore we tend to lose third party support.

As for Ubi-Soft... Ubi-Soft are firm supporters of Nintendo they just believe in temporary exclusive deals. So Microsoft offer a deal for Splinter Cell and Sony offered a deal for Prince of Persia and Beyond Good and Evil...

Nintendo, for those that may not know, did a similar deal for Rayman 3.
