If you’ve been waiting all these years to sell that box of wires named “GameCube,” you’ve waited a bit too long. As of April 2nd, GameStop will not accept trade-ins for the system, its games, or any of its affiliated accessories. This news holds some nostalgic value for me, as the GameCube was the first console I ever owned, and Super Smash Brothers: Melee was the first game I bought for it. Still, I don’t really miss the system.

At the moment, GameStop is still selling used consoles, games, and accessories, so if you’re into collector’s items, you’re free to help yourself to the gamut of stuff your local GameStop store is bound to have in stock.

Sounds like I better pick up some of the classics I was considering trying on my Wii sooner rather than later. Namely Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. Pikmin has an updated version with Wii controls, so it won't go anywhere.

I mean it's not like there aren't other places to get old Gamecube games, though.

May not be the best move for GameStop. If new consoles get their way then old games is all they'll have to trade.
