Gamecube was a great console. Had fond memories of RE exclusivity.

Back then Nintendo was on a roll.

Loll wow! Now that would have been a Gigaton and potentially would solved their "shooter" issue that people are whining about now!

It blows your very own mine? (It's "mind" )

Battlefield would be something very different had that deal gone through.

"Nintendo were apparently very excited about the game but it never came into existence because of the Gamecube’s basically non-existent online infrastructure."

Shouldn't that have tipped them off that developing a decent online infrastructure was going to be somewhat important?

the first Battlefield games on consoles were much worse than their PC counterparts. Nothing lost really.

Nintendo foiled again by its lacking online capabilities.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Why would it? It wouldn't have been on WiiU.

Or Wii for that matter, just like the new Resi evils wern't.
