I never said they have been, only that SO FAR THE STAR WARS GAMES have been….Point is there is ZERO REASON why they cant be ported or emulated, the only issue is they were published by Nintendo so it depends on that aspect.
But Mario Sunshine was emulated so theres a example for you.

Mario was released on switch. It's not on pc, it's not on ps4.

The reason they cant be ported is lack of source code. These games were made to exploit every bit of power the GameCube had. No one is going to recreate them from scratch without the code.

Both factor 5 and Lucas arts are gone. Where will you dig up the source code from 25 years ago?

The reason they cant be emulated - it's just not done so far.

Can these two games be the first ever GameCube games to be released via emulation on pc/ps4? Sure. Is it likely? Not at all! Who is going to build an emulator from scratch for these games? Or will Nintendo allow dolphin to be used even though they hate emulators?


Not happening. And you can take that to the bank.

You asked for a GC game emulated on modern hardware and Switch is modern whether you like it or not so dont get defensive…
Granted its up in the air as to whether the source code is lost or available and that is a huge hurdle.
Time will tell.

You are the kind of person who will not admit defeat even when you know you are wrong.

Heck, you even attack with the "don't get defensive quib"

There is no source code available so there won't be a native port.

There are no official gamecube games emulated on pc/ps4 etc

Nintendo is the biggest enemy of emulators so it is unlikely it will greenlight the use of dolphin as a wrapper. Writing another emulator from scratch just for TWO GAMES is also less than likely.

So the discussion is over lol

The bigger news should be how fucking awful Playstation's "classic" catalogue continues to be. It's beyond pathetic.

Please Sony, give us Bubsy 3D, MK Special Forces and Crow: City of Angels next
