Well, it seems like GS rolled out a new navigation bar for the website, and as far as I can tell the GC, GBA and Xbox tabs are now gone for good. Discuss.

I personally think it's good, and helps unclutter the site - the last time we had any updates on the GC page was when Twilight Princess came out.

EDIT: It in fact does appear to be permanent, so I'm changing the title. Also, if any mods felt like stickying this, that would be sort of cool, I guess.

i think its good that they took out the tabs for the systems but left them availabe still on the forums page. since they pretty much stopped making games for the gba,xbox, and gamecube it makes sense. it was also wise for them to leave up the ps2 tab, since there are games still coming to that system.

Yea, pretty sad. I knew something looked different, but wasn't sure what. Well, i spent a lot of good times in this forum, talking about the future of Nintendo, ect.

I wonder when they will get rid of the Cube forum now.

I think that they should still have room for forums for the GC, Xbox, and GBA, since a lot of people still play games for those systems - it would also help cut down on the number of "Should I get RE4?" and "Who's your favorite SSBM character" threads in the Wii boards, which would happen if they killed the GC forum entirely.

Although with RE4 Wii Edition and SSBB approaching, the Wii forums will probably have their own versions of those threads soon. :|

Eh, guess it's time to say goodbye GC. Though, I still play Tales of Symphonia from time to time ^_^.

We told you this would happen! I just hope it's a while before they remove the forums to go with them.

It can't be too long before the entire GC forum is gone.

My kids still love the cube. I only steal it to play RE 4 when my 360 dies and gets sent in for repairs. Long live the cube!

the last time we had any updates on the GC page was when Twilight Princess came out.

Actually, there's been updates for TMNT, Meet the Robinsons, Surf's Up, and Madden 08 after the last Twilight Princess update. There will most likely be more updates in the GC section when Ratatouille and Madden 08 are released.

Yeah, but the coverage of Ratatuoille and Madden 08 will likely not be at all different from the PS2/Xbox coverage, since the developers probably just ported the game straight over. The amount of GS website visitors that want to read Gamecube news at this point is also (I'm guessing) low enough that the GS staff didn't think it was worth it keeping the tab up there.

Well, the GameCube page still exists. Go ahead and bookmark it if you still care about the GameCube.

Maybe, but the only difference is the removal of thetab near the top of the page. Nothing major.You can still access the GC page by clicking the gc link at the bottom of the page, the GC forum is still here (and alive and well), and Gamespot will continue to provide GC news.

I think that's exacly why GS removed it.

It happens. I would imagine that the Gamespot GCforum will soon be gone. Still, there is always Gamefaqs if the Gamespot forums disappear so, regardless of the future of the GS forum, there will still be a place to discuss Gamecube.

I doubt the forum will be removed any time soon, since the GC forum is still pretty active.

i think its gay that ps2's been out since the dreamcast and they're still making games for it, but gc, gba, and xbox die first :/

They're still making games for all three of those systems. Additionally the GC and GBA are still produced, so they are not dead.

The only games for the GC and Xbox in the future are sports rehashes or movie tie-ins... they pretty much have stopped making games for them.

^That doesn't change the fact that games are still in development for the systems. And Madden 08 will probably be good.

The tabs are really just a convinient shortcut to access the different system sections quickly. The GC tab being removed does not mean the GC section is gone, it doesn't mean GameSpot will stop providing GC news, and it does not mean the GC's dead.
