Could it be that all the GC exclusive games are not exclusive anymore, or has all been scrapped!!  I hope not!!  What is going on with Mikami and Capcom!?  This is a downer.

you know web pages go down once in a while for repairs or even updates
expect something such as that- thats what i am doing
some of those games looked too good to be scrapped- especially viewtiful joe- which already has a release date set
so i guess we shall see what happens in the meantime
i wouldnt take it that seriously- dont worry about it- i am pretty sure those games wont be scrapped

Those games are still exclusive. Yes they have announced that other than RE4 they won't be bound the the GCN....but they are still in development only for GCN. If one of them does really well then they might port it to Xbox or PS2 but I doubt they would waste their time on it....and I think they like the GCN a little too much. I doubt P.S.4 will start any porting until the GCN games are complete.
And then again, if a game does really good, Nintendo might "influence" Capcom to keep it on GCN. So that brings the probability of going multiplatform even further down. Personally I only care about Viewtiful Joe and RE4 as long as they redo the controls and stuff...

Well the article states that Capcom shut the site down after Mikami stepped down, so it kind of makes you think if Capcom is some what mad at Mikami for giving so much support on GC, and they didn't give answers of why they shut it down also.

This thread probably explains it.  It may have been simpler to take down the site for now than to leave it up while things are in flux.  There's a fair chance that Mikami won't be handling all of those games anymore, and that other producers will take up the projects.  So far it doesn't seem that they're canning any of the games.
