Looks like your friendly neighborhood GameStop will no longer be accepting your last-gen Nintendo merchandise. Following a similar move in 2009 for the originalXbox, the retailer will be suspending their trade-in programs for GameCube games, systems, and accessories beginning June 12, 2025.
Considering the fact that I acquired a large part of my beloved GCN collection from bargain bins, the move is saddening though far from unexpected. With the recent launch of the PS Vita and the Wii U looming on the horizon it makes sense thatGameStopis looking to clear up some shelf space. That said, if you have a copy ofBad Boys: Miami Takedownor something similarly terrible you want to get rid of, you best do it soon.
