Oh, right.

Ok then, this isn't Sega's fault... it's Nintendo's.
They should have begged Sega to keep making sports games for the GCN. If thier bond is in fact "strong" I blame Ninhtendo. Nintendo used to do this BS back with N64. That's why there were so many gaps in the releases of EA Sports games, cause Nitnendo didn't give a damn. Same with NBA Courtside.
Right now I'm pointing fingers at one of the two, and I can understand why Sega would drops sports games from gCN by thier own decision, but I can't understand how Nintendo could let them drop it if thier relations are that good.
If it wasn't for Vice City (and probably soon to follow Smackdown), Madden would be Ps2's best seller right now. Why won't Nintendo buckle down and just make a system compatible with sports games?
If I owned Sega, I would probably make the same decision, Nintendo isn't forcing them to do anything. Plus, either way, the sales on GCN are the worst.... AND on top of that, Sega has to work harder on the GCN version than any other version because of the disk memory restrictions and the memory card restrictions.
Thank you for helping me understand who to point the finger at... I'm almost near the point of boycott with them. Let EA can one sports game next year.
