We'll spare you the "Eight is Enough!" pun.

3DO has released its financials for last year in the form of a press release. Aside from all the boring "we made this much money" stuff, the company spilled the beans on GameCube development. You can check out the whole release with the link above, but we've nabbed the important, Nintendo stuff below.

[3DO] announced that it has a slate of eight new games in development for the recently-launched Nintendo GameCube, most of which will be released in the Company's upcoming fiscal year. Products in the Company's leading brands, including Army Men®, CUBIX™- Robots for Everyone, and Jonny Moseley Mad Trix™, are expected to be released on the GameCube during the coming year.

"The hardware base of new platforms grew substantially over the holidays, and will account for the vast majority of our product releases and revenues going forward," said Trip Hawkins, CEO. "With lower spending levels in place, a market that is growing dramatically, and a strong slate of new games in solid brands, we expect significantly improved results in our next fiscal year. We are especially excited about the GameCube because of our strong brands for kids. In many respects, our brand mix struggled during the platform transition but market growth this year should expand the audience for both kids and casual-gamer adults where we have previously enjoyed notable success. We understand that commercial success is a function of developing top quality products based on key brands that will appeal to the principal demographic audience for particular platforms, and we have adjusted our plans for the coming year accordingly."
