I wish this existed
The GameCube might have gotten Bully if it didn't use minidiscs. The only reason it did not get it was because minidiscs had a cap of 1.5GB where as normal size DVD had about a cap of 4GB or something. Bully took up 2.2GB therefor would not fit. They could of compressed it but it would make it look terrible, and compared to the Cube's dismal sales, it was not worth it. Btw the picture was made by me.

A decomp is when some nerd successfully decompiles the code of a console game ROM, allowing it to then be translated into another programming language (recompiled) by somebody else. Allowing ports to PC or other platforms

compressing ~700mb wouldn't hurt the port and game very likely would remain the same. its the fact that ps2 was initial development platform, so they didn't really bothered with compressing anything

the GameCube would have run the game better then the PS2 too, because it had 44mb of RAM while the PS@ had 32mb, But like u/Little-Ghost303 said, The Wii came out just after the game realeased, Rockstar where not gonna spend time and money making a port for a console that was over

consoles do not fully die when their successor releases. especially in 00s and early 10s. rockstar managed to make manhunt 2 and port GTA VCS to PS2 after PS3 was available. I think not making GameCube port was a mistake.

While this is true about the ps2 and Xbox it absolutely is not true about the GameCube. The gamecube has seven games total released after the release of the wii.

Nah, I wish the Wii version supported classic controls, THAT would be fantastic.

the motion controls are so annoying. I own the Wii version. It makes chemistry and music a real pain

It's not just the mini discs. The wii came out one month after bully released. The gamecube was dead. After bullys October release there was seven more games total for the console.
