Un membre de Blizzard a confirmé sur le forum de Battle.net l'abandon de StarCraft Ghost sur NGC. "Unfortunately the GameCube version of the game was decided to be dropped. In order to provide the game envisioned by the console team a set and readily available online solution was needed. Unfortunately the GameCube has no online service and since so much work is going in to the online portion, it would be additional work to release only part of the intended game. Nintendo systems certainly aren't something that we are against supporting. Blizzard in its entirety is based upon earlier games for Nintendo systems. The GameCube and Revolution will still be cosidered for future products, unfortunately Ghost will only be made available on the Xbox and PS2 at this time". Pour les Anglophobes, la raison invoquée est la présence d'un mode Online, et comme le GC n'a pas de solution Online viable, le jeu est par conséquent annulé. Et amputer le jeu du mode Online aurait demandé du travail supplémentaire à l'éditeur ... Sur les autres supports StarCraft: Ghost utilisera pour le Online, le Xbox LIVE (pour la Xbox) et Battle.net (pour la PS2).
