I have to agree with Andy here. Throwing first and second party stuff out the window basically leaves the GameCube with Capcom's stuff. The third party stuff that is not exclusive to Xbox is also on PS2, but it is not on GC or the most part (Indiana Jones, Wolfenstein, etc.)

Oh, and nice av, good sir

Hmmm, I guess Super Monkey Ball, Sonic Aventure 2 battle, Super Monkey Ball 2, and the un-named Namco racers are'nt very good exclusives either.

Nope to the first 3. Isn't the Namco racer multiplatform? Or are they doing one especially for GC?

Unless they've announced something new that I don't know about, the next Ridge Racer (or successor, whatever it will be) is still supposedly coming to all three platforms.

But still, the gaming industry is a much, much different beast than the software industry, and judging from what practically every developer that has done projects for MS has said, MS is being extremely respectful and supportive with all of their developers. Just look at what Bizarre (Project Gotham, Metropolis Street Racer) said about MS:

First stage, Andy... first stage.

Isn't Sonic Adventure 2 Battle very much like the DC version but with multiplayer options? That wouldn't make it much of an "exclusive."

To summarize what people have answered individually above:

Sonic Adventure 2 is a port of a Dreamcast game. By definition ports are not exclusive.

The Namco racers are multiplatform.

That leaves the Super Monkey Balls. Would you buy a console for Super Monkey Ball? I didn't think so.

Don't be so surprised. I have no respect for Microsoft, but that doesn't mean that I think Nintendo walks on water.

Yeah but since it's Dreamcast we're talking about, it doesn't count. :jest: :jest:

No, they don't. My GC was laying dormant for 3 months before I got Metroid Prime the other day.
