Lack of Gamecube games, EVERYWHERE!

[Craig]

Dunno if there is a topic about this, if so close mine.

So, a little while back my nephew had a catalogue for Littlewoods or something, and he pointed out that it had games for every console except the Gamecube, I thought that was wierd but didn't take any notice.

Then I'm looking at another one, called Kays, and it's the same thing.

Today I went to the mall, while I was there I went into Virgin Megastore, Game and HMV. The same thing, all of these shops stocked games for Ps2, Xbox, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, PsP and the PC. But not Gamecube.

Anyone know anything about this? Or am I losing my mind?

[Pouring Rain]

That's the first I've heard of it. But I'm not gonna say you're losing your mind.

Whereabouts in the world are you located, Craig? I've never encountered this problem here.

[Craig]

England, Bristol.

I was in tons of shops like "Gamestop","HMV", "Virginmegastores" and"GAME" last weekend and non of them had any gamecube games.This was in Dublin, biggest city in Ireland.

Good, so I'm not imagining it.

Maybe there are no gamecubes in europe.

yeah I see plenty of gamecube games and stuff here in America, in fact, I still see really old games like smash bros, luigi's mansion, and all sorts of games from the entire lifespan. But the two games I see that I plan on getting, Fire Emblem and Mario Strikers, are awesome.

THE JACKEL

It's probably due to the fact that gamecube really are dying out
Nintendo hit the nail on the head with the Nintendo 64 because it appealed to younger gamers, but younger gamers now are all buying ps2s and xboxes (if theyre smart they'll get ps2s though) and so everyone's turned the gamecube aside
Plus there are only like 2 rpg's on the whole system so it lost my vote.

Must be an European thing. Here in California there's still plenty of GCN games in the stores near me.

[Old Manus]

It's because there are no gamecube games worth buying

I've got a gamecube myself and I notice this problem. Though game never proves a problem, i never see gc games in places like HMV and VM. But there arent many good ones out anyway, except Zelda, which i havnt really played since i got in to final fantasy. I mean, look at the gc ff, cc, that was one of the worst games ive ever played from one of the best series ive ever played. I think nintendo have lost it when it comes to games, tbh, though I look forward to the new Zelda

It's pretty common practice for a store to leave the least shelf space for GCN because they usually sell the least. Now that the next generation is approaching, I guess some stores are starting to phase out the GCN all together...

[Mirage]

Only one shop in the nearby town has GC games, it's a shame.

I can't say I've seen many Game Cube games, but at the most famous Brazilian online stores, they're not hard to come across. There's not much variety, though, but they're not completely absent.
