An intruder!
Acclaim has no plans to publish more games on the GameCube after their current announced projects, citing the system to be an unprofitable business venture.
Said Acclaim CEO Rod Cousens: "Why are we to develop games for platforms that do not supply appropriate yields? We still support PS2 and Xbox, but Nintendo? No, not in the foreseeable future. "
Acclaim's GameCube support will end once Legends Of Wrestling III, Urban Freestyle Soccer, and XGRA are released, and Alias, NBA Jam 2004, and Gladiator are unlikely to grace the Nintendo console.

An actual creative team could help, too. I don't see the point of hiring people whose creativity reaches its limit at "Hey! This movie/sport/comic would make a great game!" Vexx was quite the breath of fresh air. ...or rather, it could have been, given a decent development cycle.
I see no loss in their absense from my 'Cube.
Uh, "appropriate yields"? And this is the new CEO? Talk about no grace under pressure. Acclaim should be focusing on their software, not on talking smack about "platforms that don't supply appropriate yields".Said Acclaim CEO Rod Cousens: "Why are we to develop games for platforms that do not supply appropriate yields? We still support PS2 and Xbox, but Nintendo? No, not in the foreseeable future. ".
Yeesh. File Ch. 11 and get it the fuck over with already.

We contacted Acclaim about the rumor. They say that quotes in the rumor have been taken out of context, and that the publisher is not actually dropping GameCube or GBA support. Rather, in contrast to their former policy of releasing every title on every system, Acclaim will now evaluate each title and decide which system(s) it best fits.

It's funny that Nintendo can still make profit even when the doom-sayers say it's the end. Even funnier when those doom-sayers are someone no one really cares about. It's like kicking up trouble just to gain notice; heaven knows they don't get the attention for their games.
