Factor 5 and Nintendo make like a banana...

[GameKinG]

split is sort of an odd word to use in this situation.

Factor 5 is third party and under no obligation to do any more projects for GC (they are still doing Pilotwings for 'N5'). They said they would do not one more thing that has to do with rogue squadron (the only gc exclusive star wars series). Likewise, Lucas Arts isnt a big supporter of cube and had no games planned for the rest of GC's existance.

Factor 5 could have done nothing more for GCN this generation and nobody would have though much of it, but since Matt asked them and they gave a straight answer, everyone goes crazy (at least at IGNboards). Its actually quite an amazing view of human nature.
