"Today at the SEGA event in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, we had a litte chat with Atari. Atari representatives were at the event because Atari distributes the SEGA titles in the Benelux. Unfortunately, Atari brought us some bad news.
Some of you may have already heard of these Cube cancellations. Today Atari confirmed the rumours...
Mission Impossible: Operation Surma, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, and Driver 3 will not be released for the Nintendo GameCube.
Fortunately, Atari said we will probably see the sequel to Dragonball Z: Budokai on the Nintendo GameCube. And the following titles are also still on for a release on the GameCube: XGRA, The Powerpuff Girls, Beyblade, Dexter's Laboratory, Carmen San Diego, Kero Kero King, and Digimon Rumble Arena 2. "
So we loose the games that would have sold and we're left with kiddy crap like Dexters Laboratory and The Powerpuff girls.
WTF?
No wonder Cube gets labelled as a kiddy machine when developers treat it like this.

Driver 3 is worrying news. The rest I couldn't give a crap about, but to lose a game like that is frustrating, especially when it showed to much promise early on.
Bah to you, Atari.
Bah to you, Atari.
I was really looking forward to Driver 3. I heard they were putting alot of effort in. Shame.
Driver 3 or The Powerpoof Girls? I'd choose Driver 3 every time. I think AJ said it best...
BAH TO YOU ATARI!
BAH TO YOU ATARI!
Sheet! This is terrible news. Well the Driver 3 part is big time.
Driver 3 is the only loss... but its a major loss.
The other stuff isnt gonna be missed at all and if anything those titles would only have dragged the Qubes wrongly accused reputation as being 'a kiddys machine' closer to becoming the truth, so at least theres some good news tied in with the bad.

Heh.. driver 3 looked good!
Even though I'll just get Driver 3 on my PS2 I still feel sorry for poor old Ninty. And angry at stupid old Atari.
*Shakes fist*
Here it is. GC isn't a kiddes consoles, it's being forced into one.
Oh, how the mockery will continue.

Considering Atari's history I'm not surprised they're being cautious and publishing less games in a volatile market rather than producing more than might be needed.
But what would sell better: -
Driver 3 or Digimon Rumble Arena 2?
It's not the hardest thing to work out.
