Gamecube Software Support Waning?

Posted by simoniker on from the survival-of-the-fittest dept.

Thanks to Shacknews for pointing to a CNET News report discussing the declining amount of titles being planned or released for the Nintendo Gamecube. It quotes an Activision spokesman as saying "I think it's good for the industry as a whole if you have three strong players, but that's not the direction it's going." Is the Gamecube third-party software support on its way out?

    If it can't run Linux or NetBSD, what good is it?

    Free operating systems run on all the others; obviously that's the real reason GameCube is in decline. The solution is clear: Nintendo needs to release a Linux port! (A NetBSD port will appear, as if by magic, a few weeks after.)

    It will be fun to run it under the gCubix GB emulator that runs on Linux.
