I picked up Tropical Freeze but they didn't have NES Remix at GS so I'm still looking for that. At some point I'll start picking up the 3DS Selects.

You know I went to my local walmart and my local gamestop and neither one had the nes remix pack.

I did get animal crossing though. Question does any Nintendo selects have original manuals?

I can't speak for the older selects, but I got a wii u, a wii, and a 3ds select from this batch and none of them came with a manual

Ok that's what I'd figured.

Thank you for the info. So I'm best off returning the Tropical Freeze Select I haven't opened yet and getting the game used since I'd get the original case and instructions and save $3.

Jmbarnes be careful. My GameStop has Mario all stars used for 30.00 and Mario all stars new for 20.00. Same goes for tropical freeze. Also the trade on Mario all stars is 10.00.

:shock: Oh crap! I know many newer games no longer come with manuals, but thought all Selects (especially Wii versions) would come with the same manuals as in the original release. The previous generations (Selects Gamecube, Greatest Hits PS2 and Platinum Hits Original Xbox) all came with a game manual though sometimes the booklets dropped from color to black and white.

Gaah I hate the lack of manuals. Games and movies no longer have any form of a manual related to the game or movie purchased, just throw in ads and teases of DRM levels and movie streaming.

Gamestop has done this in the past and sometimes (though not always) price system change the used game to the Selects price. However, due to now reading about the missing manual, glad I did buy the original Wii Mario All Stars at the last minute, managed to find the rare outer box at Gamestop and the Soundtrack CD online cheap.

For anyone who bought the Wii Mario All Stars Selects version; did the History Book and bonus Soundtrack CD made it to the Selects version? :?:

Gee I wonder how long before Gamestop pulls a WiiU Pikimin 3 buyback and resell for fifty bucks as they did for Metroid Trilogy and Xeonoblade Chonicles. Note to self, BUY THIS GAME NOW WHILE AVAILABLE FOR ONLY $19.99! :?

An older Email sent to all Gamestop Power Rewards members who bought either Metroid Trilogy or Xeonoblade Chronicles at Gamestop:
