I am still in the dark as to why MKD is not coming to the Gamecube. I have tried emailing several people from midway and I have made several attempts to ask this MK Kommunity for any information that would shed some light on the subject. I have had no results as of yet short of "just get a ps2 or an xbox." That would be an obvious expensive solution, but it still doensn't answer my question. If anyone has heard why they didn't release it for the Gamecube, please tell me. Any speculation would also be welcomed.

im guessing its the lack of support for online gaming which is holding it back.

im guessing it may eventually come to GC.

Gamecube players will be jealous of the ps2 and x-box players because we have a online feature.

Nintendo is not dead..especially after going to this years E3 and seeing their up and coming titles. MK Deception just doesen't seem to be on too many Game Cube owners agendas judging by how poorly the Game Cube version of MKDA sold. That system may be a little too light-hearted for that style of game. Even Resident Evil Zero did't do so hot but Mario sunshine did. The Cube has a different audience that why Deception will not be released.

Maybe later on down the road...who knows?

Gamecube does have online support, it's just not used as much for their games.

Nintendo did kick everyone's ass at E3, though. I wish it was for gamecube

Look J-Lock no need to start any of that crap here on the boards. as you well know consoles wars or console flaming is against the rules. i suggest you read the community f.a.q listed under the Discussion menu.

Now back on topic, this was posted on cube.ign.com
in the mail bag here's the link in question on if mk d will be on gc.

What's the deal with Soul Calibur 3? Huh? Since Midway has decided to shaft the 250,000 of us who purchased Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance by not giving us MKD sequel, I simply must ask what will become of our greatest fighting franchise? Where is the sequel to Soul Calibur 2 and more importantly how can Nintendo and Namco make Sony and M$ green with envy that we got the greatest version of the game? Answers people.... we need answers!

Answer:
Matt responds: Don't fret about Mortal Kombat. The situation is not quite as bleak as you might think. But as for the Soulcalibur franchise (and by the way it really is spelled like that, according to Namco), the developer has a sequel in the works. It's very early on. And I have no idea what to expect from it yet. But we can assume that Nintendo fans will not be ignored, especially since the GameCube version of Soulcalibur II, which was powered by Link, outsold the others.

If you're reading this, Namco people, please make an all-Zelda fighter in the style of Soulcalibur. (By the way, look for an editorial from me on this very subject in the not too distant future.)
------------------------------------------------
Now take that as a grain of salt but there is a slight possiblity that mk d could be on gc next year but who knows.just like anything else wait and see.
As for post starter gedec3912 no offensive but i suggest you use the search feature to see past topics like this in the past.

its actually from poor sales of deadly alliance, or atleast thats the reason Midway used, and yeah please stop console flaming, im sick and tired of people slagging of the gamecube because it has "kiddie" games (Which by the way are far more fun than alot of "adult" games out at the moment)

i think the reason might be because many game cube owners are younger (sterio type i know...sorrysad) but anyways, usually people w/gamecube like games like mario and stuff, if they like fighting games then they would probably would have got a XBOX or PS2. ive always seen the gamecube as a breeding ground for platform games, w/the exception of like resident evil and stuff...which btw should be released on XBOX dammit hehe...

gedec3912,
i feel ur pain, when they didnt release silent hill 3 on xbox, i got pissed...but i guess im gonna have to buy a PS2, unless Konami comes to their senses and releases it to the XBOX. wat were they thinkin releases Silent Hill 2 & 4 on XBOX but not 3! jeez im still upset about itfurious...maybe i should go cool off lol

Well, it was mad cheap, especially with my staff discount. Less than $200 for a GC, memory card and game, or $300 for a PS2 console alone?

Tech wise Gamecube is the 2nd powerfull out of current gen systems. The main reason MK: Deception isn't coming out for gamecube is because overall gamecube sales when it comes to 3rd party games aren't too good. If Midway were to release a non online version of the game( 9 times out of 10 it won't be online even if it did come to gamecube) it was suffer. End the end most 3rd parties know that 3rd party games don't sell well on gamecube. Heck that is the reason Gamecube doesn't have next to none 3rd party support.Nothing to do with tech, only making profit back,something gamecube hasn't done well for 3rd party game makers.

Hoodedgangsta someone has already been told off for causing console wars, your attitude is DISGRACEFUL! Read the bloody forum rules or go away and leave us alone.

It's not coming to GameCube because sales would not be high enough. PERIOD.

To tell you the truth, Gamecube really owns XBox's ass. Besides the better graphics, XBox had little going for it. All of the games suck, and of they don't suck, they're usually available for some thing other than XBox, be it PS2, Gamecube, or even PC. I've never been very find of XBox and in full truth, I think it will fall before Nintendo, especially with the DS on the way.

Gamecube did bad at E3 this year? HA! I've been looking forward for games like Star Fox 2, Resident Evil 4, and Metroid Prime 2. And I'm pretty sure many, many other people are looking forward to those games as well. I do believe that Gamecube had the best E3 this year, and probably the biggest reason was seeing a preview of the new Legend of Zelda game. *Drools* Anywho, it is a shame that Deception will not be arriving on Gamecube. That means a good amount of my friends and others will either have to wait until the next MK, or buy a PS2/Xbox. But, that's how business goes.

Tsk tsk, learn to spell before writing please. I will not get out my idiot to English dictionary every time I read your posts. As for Nintendo at E-3, they had awesome games this year. The best of which my friend N1NT3NDO has pointed out already, but there are others. Such as Viewtiful Joe 2 and Advance Wars for the Gamecube. I'm looking forward to all of the Nintendo games that were at E-3. You only mentioned three and GTA will be on the computer as well, all those that we mentioned are Gamecube exclusives. Please remain silent in the future unless, and I highly doubt this, you have something intelligent to say.

If someone else has been told off for contributing to a consol war, have a bit of self respect and don't take it any further.
I am not bias either way, but one game Gamecube seems to have done very successfully is resident evil 4.
Without online play MKD would be a little hindered, but i dont see why it wont be brought out anyway on the next generation Nintendo console.

This topic has been flogged to death, except in those threads it was an actually a discussion.

Now all it is is a console war, done by absolute fanboy wankers who have their heads too firmly implanted up their own rectal passages to continue a discussion without resorting to:
GC SuX0rZ! U fcuking luzr! esque posts.

Not everyone has done this, and props to those who actually possess the ability to discuss/debate something rationally. To the rest of you immature sods, don't ever ever post in a serious discussion again.
