Could it have handled GTA III? I've read that a port was in development at one point.

Graphics-wise, yes. The limited disc size would have resulted in unacceptably low quality audio. The lack of buttons on the GC controller would have also severly hampered the controls.

Could have used Vorbis compression

They must have cancelled all the good gamecube games because all it has it shit.

Vorbis was too taxing on the consoles of the time.

True Crime for GameCube used it.

True Crime Streets of L.A had a insane map size of 622 km2 , hell much bigger than any GTA released up to this Day, even GTA V had only 49 Km2.
And the game on Gamecube was 1 disc only, the Gamecube had and advantage against PS2 that is a texture descompressor , so it can take less space on disc, and as mentioned at this point there were already many codecs to compress audio. MP3, MusyX ,Vorbis etc, they took less space and had great audio quality. Even Conkers Bad Fur Days had MP3 voices that lasted over 2 hours of speech in a tiny cart space not long before True Crime was released.
The True is that Nintendo is resilient with this kind of games in their consoles

a huge ton of third party games.

>Sega came to Nintendo with Yakuza, and Nintendo passed it up
Stupid move on their part.

Trust me, Nintendo doesn't need any additional yakuza...

That game's audio wasn't very good. The game doesn't play many sounds at once at any given time (it's a VERY quiet game for a free roaming game) and audio is frequently delayed because it has to be processed before it plays. You hit someone and it can be almost a second later that the sound of the hit plays.

Rumor has it this man saw the name hit his desk, he threw a desk out of a window, pulled his hammies and sent a mysterious car to a Sega building.

True crime's map was literally a copy paste job that followed the roadmap of actual LA with the same building models over and over constantly. Not to mention how glitchy the map was in alot of parts. I love that game but come on man.
