Taken from cube-europe.com

"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.

I'll be giving XGRA a go - I just hope there is more emphasis on the weapons in XGRA than there wasin XG3

A week ago i'd have tried to put up an arguement, but now I've gone to the dark side, I can't say I care.

I will do in a few months when it's hurting ninty's finance.

This confused me as well. I just assumed Atari were publishing it as Acclaim are in 'difficulties'.

They'll all die together in the carpark at Homebase in pools of their own urine with biros through their eyes and funny hats on made of petrol-soaked newspaper.

Who do you think will go first: Acclaim, Atari or Vivendi?
