I don't know about that. There's a reason Acclaim has been having financial troubles, you know. Their games haven't, in fact, been selling.
The damage from this development is more likely going to be the increased perception that GameCube is not the console for third party developers. That's not a trivial thing, but any developer dropping support would have the same effect. |

Re: Acclaim to Drop GameCube Support
Outside of the Xtreme G series this doesn't bother me in the slightest, or wouldn't bother me in the slighest if the cube were the only system that I owned.

I cant remember the last Acclaim game I enjoyed...Ive always hated the Turok series, and their sports games are garbage. This news dosent bother me.

3rd party games dont tend to sell best on cube when they are multiplatform, but I point the blame at Acclaim, their suport sucks as it is.

Rumors on the Internet today suggest that Acclaim's new CEO has decided to completely drop support for Nintendo systems. The rumors say that upcoming games like XGRA and Legends of Wrestling III will be finished for GameCube, but no new projects will be started for the system.
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. This new publishing strategy goes for GameCube, GBA, PS2, and Xbox. Acclaim is NOT dropping support for Nintendo systems, although it's entirely possible that GameCube will see fewer of the company's games than it previously has.
Acclaim also confirmed that all of the currently announced GameCube titles will be completed and released (barring any specific, unrelated cancellations)."
