HH2K4 for GC

[Peter_OS]

Anyone getting this for the GC? Release date is 5/27 from EBGames.

Anyone know why the delay to release this game on the GC?

Yeah because the GC is the step child of the consoles they get everything later or not at all

That's too bad. The GC is a great console IMO. I hope it doesn't go the way of the Dreamcast.

I like the idea of bundling the GBA with the GC for the same price. Smart move by Nintendo or a desperate one?? This should sale quite of few.

Re: HH2K4 for GC

One benefit of the later releases is that it gives the developers time to test the game out on ps2 and xbox users, then tweak any issues that come up, like that 3rd out, run scoring bug. The late releases I can deal with, its things like Sega Sports completely abandoning the console that pisses me off, especially since I thought nfl 2k3 was the best GC game so far, ASB is close though.

Re: HH2K4 for GC

i'm miserably waiting for HH for the GC. this release seems like a marketing disaster as it was delayed twice from its original april release date. why wait until all the baseball games are out and then release it after all the hype has died down? is anyone going to notice? is this any way to make money? i'm expecting this game will not sell well, which may lead 3DO to conclude that the GC is not a viable sports gaming console, when in fact, it was their marketing at fault.

Re: HH2K4 for GC

this game has been delayed again to the end of june, not that anyone notices or cares anymore... way to go, 3do, you have guaranteed failure of your product on the gc.

Re: HH2K4 for GC

I guess I made the right decision just folding and buying ASB a few months ago. I was worried that I jumped the gun and should have waited to try out High Heat. It's starting to look like that was the only choice I could have made. I honestly doubt it's coming out at all.
I'm just happy that I'm really enjoying ASB, or I'd be saving up for a PS2. It's a real shame that the Gamecube is definitely not a sports gamers system at this point.

i wasn't going to post this because i don't think there is anyone left that cares about this anymore, but just in case, here goes:

high heat 2004 for the gamecube has been delayed... again... maybe forever. it has disappeared from ebgames. an email reported to be from the ceo of 3do as found on gamefaqs boards reveals the reason behind it:

I'll admit I envy Xbox and Playstation2 owners of High Heat more than I envy chocolate cake. ( Cake is awesome too)
So out of frusteration, I went to Yahoo to search for Trip Hawkin's ( Ceo of 3do)email. I did this since nearly all of 3do customer support has vanished. I found his email from 8 years ago and tried it out. Amazingly, the man emailed back 8 minutes after I sent my email!( I didn't expect the email to work first of all, and secondly I didn't expect him to respond)
Heres what I wrote:
Dear Mr. Hawkins,
As a proud Nintendo Gamecube owner I have an important question. Your awesome baseball series High Heat Baseball 2004 has already released for the Xbox and Playstation 2 systems months ago. I have heard reports High Heat 2004 may be delayed past even June. I appreciate the gravity of 3do's situation, but I do not believe High Heat 2004 should be delayed any longer. I have accurate reports that the Game was done late May, and waiting to be printed on to discs. Please sir; can you please release High Heat 2004 for Nintendo Gamecube in June??
I love baseball just as much of you do, so please don't delay this game any further.
I'd appreciate a reply as soon as possibly.

Heres what Mr. Hawkins replied with:
I wish we could but for legal and financial reasons it is in suspended
animation. Hopefully not forever.

Every GC baseball fan needs to voice his opinion to Trip, to get this game released. What do you think suspended animation means? Game gets delayed to mid July or August?
At any rate, I appreciate Mr. Hawkins responding to my email, and I hope it gets released soon

with this development and acclaim abandoning the gamecube, the most realistic game next year on the gamecube will be... mlb slugfest. how sad.. this loyal sports gamer has had enough. ps3, here i come...
