[Taucias]

Similar to the XBox thread, IGN explore some Gamecube games filed in the dustbin:

I didn't realize that Super Paper Mario had been shelved for the GC. That really put a damper on my day :-(

They still should release DK Kongo Blast for the Gamecube, Gamecube owners deserve that!


Oh, and Picassio :crying:

Yeah me too. I should have expected it with Nintendo's past record of this kind of thing but the game just seems so well suited to be a swan song Gamecube release that I thought better.:dammit:

At this point all I hope is that they add compatibility to use the GC Bongos instead of just wii controllers.

shame on you guys! There's a rumour regarding wireless Bongos (Nintendo makes money on accessories I guess). I thought DK: Jungle Beat was a fearce game!

That said, Donkey Kong Kongo Blast might have been cancelled. It might be for the best though, since the game mechanics are pretty much another Donkey Konga rather than another Jungle Beat, as I understood them. This could result in the game being mediocre as a racer due to the manner the characters are propelled accross the level, and subsequently handled.

I m more interested in Donkey Kong Racing personally. It's a shame that it won't be developed by Rare, of course, because they could sure inject some Diddy Kong Racing adventure setup/elements in there.

I don't trust Donkey Kong at the hands of nintendo to be honest.

They would farm it off to some developer no doubt, if they really intended to ever release it (I suspect they'll keep Mario Kart as their only kart racing franchise).
