If you ever wanted one of your game ideas to become a reality, now might be the chance.

Renegade Kid and GAMEscribe have joined forces to bring us the pitchWinPLAY contest, a competition where one submitted idea will become a 3DS eShop game.

The contest simply requires that you submit your pitch for a new side-scrolling platformer. Whomever's pitch is chosen in the end will get the chance to see the game come to life on the 3DS eShop, courtesy of developer Renegade Kid. Most recently, Renegade Kid developed Mutant Mudds, which we enjoyed quite a bit. The new game will use Mutant Mudd's engine.

Starting April 2, 2012, the retailer will no longer accept the trade-in of GameCube consoles, games, and accessories.

GameStop is ending their part in the used GameCube consoles, games, and accessories market. According to a banner located at the bottom of the Trade-Ins page on their US site and similar signs in stores, GameStop and EB Games will no longer accept trade-ins on any GameCube consoles, games, or accessories starting April 2, 2012.

Nevertheless, don’t fret. It is likely that GameStop will continue to sell their remaining stock of GameCube consoles, games, and accessories, just as they did when they stopped accepting the trade-in of other consoles and handhelds.
