at any rate, I wasn't trying to turn you off from collecting GC. In fact, GC and gameboy(variants) are all I collect now. I was just sort of making the observation.

And to answer yr question, I PERSONALLY couldn't live without Mega Man and Zelda GC games in my collection.

At least Ikaruga has been coming down since the XBLA release.
I'll be revisiting my cheap GC game post in the near future. Gotta keep up with the price changes :)

Eternal Darkness
Pikmin 1 & 2
Viewtiful Joe
Metroid Prime
Metriod Prime 2
Legend of Zelda: Twiglight Princess
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Waverace: Blue Storm
Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes
NCAA Basketball 2K4 (very rare / expensive for a old sports game)
Madden 2008 (just so you can have the last commercial GC game)
WWE Day of Reckoning 1 & 2
Super Smash Brothers Melee
Sonic Collection
Mega Man Collection
Skies of Arcadia
I agree with most of this list and would add Animal Crossing, F-zero GX and Mario Kart: Double Dash, just off the top of my head

Sadly, most of the good games from that era are 1st party.

Yeah GS's had it sitting around $40 since late 07'.

Oh, and where's the Chibi Robo and StarFox love?

It's probably as good of a price as you're gonna get considering that GS keeps pushing it up to $25-$30 then back down to $20 every few weeks, as the demand is high and while it did hit Player's Choice status sales were crippled by the popularity of Mario Kart DD.
