This is the reason I dislike nintendo. GC wasn't huge, but it was still big, and instead of continuing to work on it, they just give up and move on, thus the reason it should stick with hand held gaming systems and leave the platforms to the big boys.

But its not just Nintendo. Its a typical gaming industry move. Microsoft has dropped support completely for the XBOX from what I've heard, and they do this every gen change. They also drop support for old Operating Systems and things. Sony didn't stop making PS2 games though b/c this past Christmas they sold a ton of PS2 systems still, so they know that the support is still there and if people just bought them then they know its going to please a large crowd to make the games.

With the Wii, they know that you can play all your GC games on it, plus dl the older games, so there is no reason to continue working on the GC at this point.
