Is Square Interested in GameCube?
In June 1999, Squaresoft announced that it was evaluating Nintendo’s Dolphin console and was very interested in making games for systems other than Playstation 2. What’s more, on July 14th 1999, Square held a press event where then-company President Tomoyuki Takechi began his speech by mentioning the Dolphin system; Takechi’s comments were very vague, saying only that he was very excited about the games industry in general, especially after the announcement of Nintendo’s Dolphin. Square may be interested in GameCube, though Takechi’s statements could also refer to competition between Nintendo and Sony as well. Square has not commented on the GameCube specifically since then, leaving much speculation as new information about Nintendo’s Game Boy Advance and GameCube (as Dolphin is now known) comes to light, it will be increasingly hard for Square to ignore the two systems completely.
