The only company nowadays still releasing multi-format games on the Gamecube are EA because they have the money to release big titles on the smaller consoles and still come out with a profit because there's no alternative games available to Gamecube only owners. Very few small companies release new titles on Gamecube. Itll always either be PS2 or Xbox. Only big companies will release their titles on Gamecube because its the only chance it has of selling. Im talking about companies such as EA, UbiSoft, Capcom, THQ & SEGA - and look at where those previous 'Gamecube Exclusive' titles have landed.

The fact is Nintendo need to pull their Marketing finger out with mass TV advertising. They're only reaching out to kids when games and key releases such as Metroid Prime 2, 1080 Avalanche, F-Zero GX, and possibly Tales of Symphonia - Games of which there is no other kind on other systems - will appeal easily too. Like UK Jester has previously said, its the adults that have the money, not the kids!

I fear though that with Nintendo's Next-Gen console, things may get worse, as they're going for the 'new ways to play' innovation stage instead of new technology improvements. It paid of with the Nintendo DS because it came across to gamers in the right way, but it really needs to be sold before release, otherwise its going to be another doomsday console! It needs to be online compatible for starters, as it really is becoming the new 'thing'! Hopefully Nintendo are looking into the technology another company has put into the game whereby making the Gamecube into a Server, allowing you to host games and other players games on your console, making online completely free... something im sure everybody would take a liking too!
