News   E3: Disappointing 3rd Party Showing
- Posted By Mike Schneider, 05.17.2001

If you’re a Nintendo fan looking for GameCube games, there has been almost no reason to leave Nintendo’s booth.

You see, thus far Ngenres.com staff has only found ONE, count ‘em out loud now, ONE playable GameCube game located outside of Nintendo’s expansive booth. Kudos to EA for having Madden playable.

Furthermore, most major 3rd parties don’t have anything on GameCube at all. Konami, Namco, Activision, Capcom, and Enix all have nothing. Heck, even Acclaim has basically nothing, save a minute clip for Turok Evolution, though that movie may not have even been running off of GameCube Hardware.

What does this 3rd Party showing, or lack-there-of, tell me? Once again, Nintendo took forever to get dev kits out to 3rd parties, since if they couldn’t even get a simple demo up and running for the show, or even a movie, that means it’s likely due to inadequate time. Or, in a grimmer, but less likely possibility, most of the major 3rd parties are simply not supporting GameCube. In any case, this doesn’t bode well.
