News: Blizzard confirms the GameCube won't be getting StarCraft: Ghost.
A discussion on the battle.net forums a few days ago revealed that Blizzard has canceled the GameCube version of StarCraft: Ghost.
MicahW, a Blizzard representative, had this to say:
"Unfortunately the GameCube version of the game was decided to be dropped. In order to provide the game envisioned by the console team a set and readily available online solution was needed. Unfortunately the GameCube has no online service and since so much work is going in to the online portion, it would be additional work to release only part of the intended game. Nintendo systems certainly aren't something that we are against supporting. Blizzard in its entirety is based upon earlier games for Nintendo systems. The GameCube and Revolution will still be cosidered for future products, unfortunately Ghost will only be made available on the Xbox and PS2 at this time."
So who wants to be the jerk that points out to Blizzard that the GameCube has a Network Adapter and online capabilities that work identically to the PS2's Network Adapter. Any takers?
StarCraft: Ghost was originally scheduled to ship in late 2003 but now it won't come out for the PS2 and Xbox until February 2006 at the earliest.
