Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks was never officially released for the Nintendo GameCube; it was only released on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox in 2005.
Deep Lore Integration: The game retells the events between the first and second tournaments, allowing fans to interact with icons like Reptile, Baraka, and Goro in ways a standard fighter couldn't.
Third-Party Support: By late 2005, many third-party developers were scaling back GameCube support as the industry shifted focus toward the upcoming next-gen consoles (Xbox 360 and PS3).
