Apparently Nintendo messed them around, asking for things to be changed. DMA backed out. In retrospect, a pretty big loss for Nintendo.

Not really I mean its not like they would have ever allowed them to publish a game like GTA III anyways. Heck, they probably wouldn't even allow them to publish the original two GTA games due to Nintendo's strict "family friendly" image thats ultimately held it back all these years. If DMA stayed with Nintendo GTA would have never been invented, and Jack Thompson would be trying to get the Power Rangers cancelled from television right now instead of bashing video games all the time.

Can't really say Nintendo (ever) had strict family friendly image. Especially when they signed deals with Capcom to make RE4 (all that gore,yo) along with the remakes of the RE series. Even with the Wii they have games like Mad World and No More Heroes so I do find this be a loss for a solid Third Party game on the GameCube.

I know, but Nintendo had no choice but to have those games published for its adult fans. Due to all the controversy of "Mad World" Sega decided to step down from making M rated games for the Wii. Honestly Mad World wasn't that bad, it was gory but unrealistically gory, but Nintendo still get shit whenever a game like that comes out on its platform. When Manhunt came out for Gamecube omg forget about it. That was just a trainwreck. San Andreas was never even released for Gamecube even after it came out to Xbox. Nintendo has had violent games in the past(Conker anyone?) but everyone point fingers at them whenever it comes out, despite the fact that ultra-violent games come out on Xbox 360 and PS3, its expected. But not Nintendo games. This strict stereotype might be something that they can never shake off, no matter how much the occasionaly violent exclusive comes out. Nintendo will always be seen as the "kids console"
