GameCube owners can say goodbye to any further software support from Nintendo; the platform holder has now confirmed that first-party software support for the console has come to an end.

Despite ending production of the GameCube and its software, Nintendo of America's Perrin Kaplan believes the console still has a market.

... just like the PS2 sold really well this past holiday, GameCube is a great starter system - price, ease, games, cost of games. Every one of the consoles has had its cycle and every single one of them has become a great starter system at the last leg of its cycle, and that's where GameCube's at, - Game Daily.

Of course, Wii owners can already play GameCube games thanks to the console's backwards compatibility. That said, gamers without a Wii in their lives could do a lot worse than spend their money on a bargain priced GameCube.
