So there's still hope for us gamecube owners... Midway must be aware that Mortal Kombat is one of their top selling games in any platform, not adapting it to a platform instantly means profit losses for them; regardless of the fact that Gamecube was not a top-selling console for Mortal Kombat they could still have extra earnings if they adapt it to the gamecube. Due to the lack of online capabilities if they decide to adapt MK:D to the gamecube, what they could do is to add exclusive content for the gamecube version. I don't know, exclusive making of MK:D videos or exclusive media, extra characters, galleries, etc that would encourage owners of gamecubes to buy the tittle or just to balance the lack of online capabilities. Just look at SoulCalibur II, the gamecube version was the one that selled the most thanks to that. Maybe MKOnline should represent this part of the MK Kommunity, the ones who are owners of gamecubes, and let them know at Midway that a part of the MK fan base would be left out if they finally decide to not adapt it to the gamecube.

I will not say I agree with Nintendo's management, because I would be lying. But definately one of the only reasons why Midway is safe from bankruptcy at the moment has two words: Mortal Kombat. One of the reasons why Midway is cancelling projects is it's financial problems. So Nintendo and Midway are both "responsible" in a way or another

I really can't say that I would be surprised if the Gamecube got completely shafted...Nintendo is practically turning into Sega with their console support, in that they have the capability, but instead of trying to keep up with current times, they just throw up their arms and call it quits. Gamecube's lack of online capability is definitely a strong factor in its performance thus far, and honestly...the Gamecube IS aimed towards kids, I don't care what anyone says. Yeah, the have exclusives like Resident Evil and Eternal Darkness which are great, dark and violent and mature games, but the majority of games for the system...I wouldn't play them even if I had absolutely no other choice. When I bought my GC a year ago after the price drop, I did it for one reason...well, two: Resident Evil and Godzilla: DAMM. Later, the XBox version of GDAMM came out and blew the GC version out of the water, and the appeal of Resident Evil died really quick.

Someone had mentioned that the GC controller is a nightmare to use for fighting games, and I couldn't agree more. The GC controller looks like it was designed for a 3 year old. I played MKDA on GC at my friend's house and I was very disappointed in it...it just couldn't control well, and graphically it didn't hold a candle to the PS2 or XBox.

As a disappointed Gamecube owner, I'm first to admit that the GC is a weak system...graphically and in terms of overall power (though Metroid was impressive). If MKD didn't hit Gamecube, a part of me would think 'Good, Gamecube sucks anyway'. But in reality, I do feel bad for those Gamecube owners who won't get the chance to play MKD, should Midway decide not to bring it out.

In contrast, I think this is great. This means that Midway only has to focus on developing for the XBox and PS2. If I recall, the GC version of MKDA was delayed a bit because of all the conversion they had to do...further demonstrating the crud they have to go through with the GC. For those of us that have PS2 and XBox, we can look forward to a game that isn't as rushed as MKDA was, since they'll only have to focus on the 2 systems and not have to worry about GBA or GC. I really hope they decide not to develop it for GC...but if they do, then that's great for all the GC owners. Hopefully, it'll just be delayed a few months, as they could work on it after the XB and PS2 versions come out.

I was hoping to get rid of my cube soon, but now that the Metal Gear remake is coming, looks like I gotta keep it for a while...

i think that midway must finish first the ps2 and x box versions, and after that work in the game cube's one, i dont think that a gamecube owner would be mad if the gamecube version comes out few months later

Nintendo may be 2nd in sales but that is after years of being one of the main video game corporations around. I must admin that the PS2 is the best...so far. XBOX is catching up fast. In my opinion the only reason the PS2 is considered better is that it has been out longer and has more games.

i agree wit homie ^^^ thats y a got in xbox insted of a gamecube.

The_Cold_Kombatant Wrote: It's much harder to develope for the Gamecube. Also, as of right now, its the console thats doing the worst. Hate to say it but its true. I have all the systems and CAN'T remember the last time I played My GC. As someone mentioned above, the GC controller was terrible for MK:DA. I mean TERRIBLE. GC owners, Why the long faces. I mean you ARE getting Twin Snakes AND Resident Evil 4. I still think Xbox is the best system out.

no disrespect, but i think your misinformed on that part being the gamecube being harder to develope. the ps2 is the hardest to develope for. ask any one and they say the same thing. the gamecube and the xbox is the easiest to develope. but anyways it still 50/50 if mk6 is going to be on gamecube. but with news out today that gamecube price drop clears the store shelves of the gamecube. midway may need to rethink that decision. you can check out the link yourselfs..

MK:DA wasn't hard to develop on GC, PS2 or XBOX cause it was using Renderware. A multiplatform engine code.
I'm sure MK:DC is using Renderware too!

No MK6 for PC....???

Please tell me you are joking? The PS2 version is by far the worst looking version.

The Gamecube is much more powerful then PS2. Fact not opinion.

As owner of both systems, I couldn't disagree with you more. Don't know where you're getting your facts from.

Gamecube is, in fact, more powerful than PS2. PS2 launched significantly before Cube, thus Cube had that gap of advancements and took advantage of that.

Playstation One even turned into a choppy piece of dung. I enjoyed SNES over it. That is what PS2 is evolving into, they sometimes have good FMVs but in game, grainy shit. There are few exceptioins, ie : GT4

I guess I can type that "our" facts come from any place where there is a list of specs. Do some research and don't expect for "us" to spoon feed you with a nice convenient table.

Cube crushes PS2, even with the huge disc size difference. Go color a book or something kid.

I really hope it does come to Gamecube, so do most of my mates. We've played just about every Mortal Kombat game released(take away MK4Gold, Mythologies, etc), we grew up playing these games and dumped dollar after dollar into the machines and played MK on the arcade right from MK1 through to MK4(including all in between).

I really enjoyed MK: DA on the Gamecube, it set me back at least around 99.95 aussie dollars, which isn't exactly cheap for a piece of software(but hey, things can get pretty expensive in Australia), but i thought MK: DA was worth every cent and have played that game months on end and finished and accessed everything there is to that game. From what I can see of MK6(Deception) so far, I think I look forward to doing that all over again, but unfortunately if it doesn't come out on the Gamecube, then it just isn't going to happen. It's not feasible for me to fork out for another console just for one game(as there's nothing on the PS2 or XBOX that interests me in the slightest), nor do I care for on-line pay either since Broadband down here retails for a hefty monthly price(especially for a student). I would be perfectly happy playing against the AI - as I always have thus far and wouldn't care even if the came came out on the cube months later after PS2 and XBOX versions.

As for exclusive content if a Nintendo version comes out, hey I'm all for it, if it's concept art, video's, don't care, I'd be buying the game anyway, as would lots of my mates who only own cubes. Anyway, I can only hope.

uuumm i have a few things to say...nintendo is 2nd place and pulling away from xbox...look at sales this past year...double of what x-flops was...and also gc is much more powerful then ps2...online compatability not there?? gc owners have wormpipe now...broadband internet gameplay...what do you think millions of gc owners are playin online with mariokart with?? it has online capabilities..look at phantasy star online...key word online....and no support for their system?? you must be blind...a game being released about every two weeks now at the most...and a big game every few months...and everyone says its nintendos fault for not letting midway make it for nintendo?? i dont see that at all...if a game is made for a system it gets released for that system...but you have to make the game..which midway makes games...if they leave gc out of this release all together they will notice a huge drop in sales...and i personally will not go out and pay 200 dollars for a crappy system just to play mkd....alot of people i know can afford to do that...but i cant...and one last thing...when the next nintendo is released when the ps3 is...sony will be dying a very quick and painful death...oh and one more thing before i go...since alot of people talk about the original playstation what alot doesnt realize is what that system really was, was a souped up snes cdrom system that was developed and scrapped by nintendo 3 years before...sony just took it and revamped the graphics and processor...and the casing...everything else was nintendo designed...so without nintendo sony and any other system that has ever been made besides atari would have never ever been seen...

I really don't understand, if the Gamecube is this "powerful" system, why is it that half the games being releaed these days are PS2 and X-Box Only, like the cube has a lot of "only for" games...

But this lastest dissapointment is really harsh, i mean Nintendo carried Mortal Kombat all the way up to the year 2000, then the games started to become multiplatformed...so why the change now, why not just leave it on Nintendo Only, yeah, all mk games should be Nintendo Only, its only fair, i think...

PS: I just dont wanna go out and buy an X-Box for MK: Deception when all they had to do was make it on Gamecube, i mean everyone owns one now due to the big price drop, so if everyone owns one, wouldnt that mean that there would be more people buying more units of MKD, like comon Midway, and developers, use COMMON SENCE!!!

"Using the GC controller is a nightmare for fighting games. That might have something to do with it too."

yawn...the old cliche yet again. i have a gc and have no trouble playing godzilla, bloody roar, mk5, soul calibur 2, etc., with the gc controller. and for those who cannot somehow use it for fighters, there are arcaded sticks available. next.

Everyone's hands, Fingers and dexterity are different. Everyone has to realize that what may be a breeze for some people is hard for others.

I personally find that the Sega Genesis and Sony PSX/PS2 controllers are the best, But that's just me.

Then why is mortal kombat not on the gamecube?

It's called business. Gamecube and/or Midway mostly like figure that sending MKD to GC will not make enough of a profit. Hopefully, whoever's bright idea this was will come to his/hers senses. (Or get hit by a bus so that someone else can make the correct decision.) Also, since MKD is to be Online enabled it is easier to use this feature on PS2 and XBox (I hope I'm note being an idiot here, I don't even have a GC.)

Maybe, I repeat, maybe MKD will come out for the Gamecube but at a later date than for the PS2 and Xbox. Good thing I have a PS2, not to rub it in of coarse.

I will experience great pleasure if its released for gamecube.

I own one and its all i got.

The main reason 2 play videogames for me is MK & Nintendo.

Wooooooooooooo!
