Nearly everytime a milti-console game is released, Gamecube gets it last. Like Ghost Recon: its coming out late November for the Xbox and on the
6th December for the PS2, but apparantly its not coming out until
31st January 2003 for the Gcube.What's happening? Can somebody please explain to me why games companies are releasing games last for the 'Cube.
Even Hitman 2 is not coming out until early Spring.

(Is it true that GTA: Vice City is coming for the Xbox? Bet it's not coming out for the Gamecube.)

Many of you will say, ah, but the GCs got Super Mario Sunshine. Yes, and its amazing but its the companies who promise a milti-console game and us GC fanatics don't get it until the game has come, conquered and gone.

I know what you mean. Any multi-format title is often released late. Or not at all. Other times, with games like Hunter: The Reckoning or Wreckless, they turn up months late. Its not fair, and pretty odd to boot.

I dunno, but it really annoys me. Timesplitters2 came out on every other console except the GC, we had to wait till nov.1st!! I don't ever know what nintendo hope to gain out of waiting an extra couple of weeks. it will be brought by other people, who own other consoles, who then won't buy it on the gamecube. Well if you have only a gamecube then your pretty screwed really, having to wait whilst everyone else gets a go at the game you want.
Maybe nintendo want to keep the game back for a couple of weeks, so that people really want to buy it when it does actually come out, but unfortuanately for nintendo they'v kept back so many games that its just not fun anymore. what we want is games on time, so why don't nintedo give us games on time?
Maybe it's just cos they'r new at the whole busines of getting games that other consoles get too. Before, then 64 couldn't have any other games that other consoles had without having to wait ages whilst the game was put onto cart. nowadays allit has to do is to be put onto a very small disk, anyone would think that was quicker.

C'mon nintendo, give us games on time!
