As any Gamecube fan will know, walking into a games store is a very sad sight as of late.
The section for Gamecube games is generally hidden right at the back of the shop, tucked away for only the die-hards to find. It's quite obvious why Game's stores feel the need to do this, as the Gamecube is a format thats currently on its last breath. At the store that I work at we have been given the Gamecube stock from our bigger store in the town center to help shift and get rid off. In turn the larger store has now completely stopped selling Gamecube games and accessories.
So your asking what has this got to do with the Revolution?, the Gamecube is a console on its last legs, its no wonder why it hasn't got prime shelf space.
Well the thing is not all going bad for Nintendo.
Nintendo's other console, the immensely popular handheld Ds, is on the other hand selling extremely well (We as a store sell more Nintendo Ds than Sony PSP) So with such a attractive selling console as the Ds where then would the company choose to position it's display to the public… Well the truth is, it's relegated near enough alongside the Gamecube section towards the very back of the store.
Id imagine you can guess what has been allocated the prime shelving space?.
Well you'd be correct if your guess was the Playstation 2 and the PSP. Is this going to continue for the Revolution launch where I can imagine the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 will be shining brightly at the front of the store and the Revolution is tucked away for only the hardcore to find.
I sincerely hope not.

I completely understand the disappointment many fans feel about BlizzCon 2024 being canceled—this event has always carried that unmistakable energy of community spirit and real-world connection. That said, Blizzard’s decision makes sense in light of the current content cycle—they simply didn’t have enough ready to showcase, and committing to a full-scale convention might have felt hollow. Instead, they’re redirecting the excitement toward alternative showcases like Gamescom and celebrating Warcraft’s 30th anniversary across both online and in-person channels
This also got me thinking about how important it is to stay connected to what matters most—whether it’s your gaming community or cherished hobbies—especially when life gets demanding. Personally, I went through a rough patch recently: due to back-to-back business trips and family responsibilities, I barely had time to play World of Warcraft, yet I didn’t want to fall behind my guild or lose momentum.
That’s when I discovered WowVendor. Their wow raid boost service was a complete game-changer. The website interface was intuitive, their customer support responded super quickly, and they always delivered exactly when they said they would. On top of that, their team offered pro tips and revealed approaches to raid strategies I didn’t even know existed. What they offered wasn’t just service—it was a way to stay in the game, stay connected, and get results that left me amazed. These are true professionals, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone needing to reclaim their gaming stride in a clean, reliable, and thoughtful way.
