Nintendo ends GameCube support - or not?

Nintendo of America's VP Perrin Kaplan announced that Nintendo has decided to cease production and game development for the GameCube, but reports from Nintendo UK disagree.


During a recent interview with GameDaily, Nintendo's Vice President of Marketing & Corporate Affairs Perrin Kaplan frankly admits that Nintendo has decided to finally pull the plug on the GameCube.

In the interview, Kaplan discusses numerous issues concerning the company's future plans for the Wii, before being pressed on Nintendo's plans for it's little purple bundle of gaming joy.

"Are we producing any more GameCubes? No. But do we have the inventory there for people to still purchase? Yes.", Kaplan states. She also elaborated that Nintendo has no plans to develop any further games for the console.

However, recent conflicting reports from Nintendo UK have stated that worldwide production of the GameCube is still on-going.

"I can confirm that globally, Nintendo is still continuing production of GameCube hardware and GameCube software," stated a spokesperson for Nintendo UK.
