I think you all need to go find Invader

Post by noiseredux »

With Gamestop getting rid of GBA carts, you all need to search and see if your local GS has Invader in stock. If they do, you are lucky. GS knows this. They've kept the price at $10. But still, there's NO PROOF that the US version was ever released. The only copies anyone has ever seemed to find in the US were EU copies that someone ended up over here. It's a wonderful Shmup, and if yr a fan of Shmups and the GBA you must act now before it's too late. Trust me.

I know its going to happen, but is that official about GBA carts being discontinued?

Is Invader the only GBA cart you recommend?

No it isn't.

GS plans on keeping GBA in for a good while yet. It's a prime market for the DS Lite crowd. Plus it's also a good way to make easy money with popular and common GBA titles like the Pokemon and Mario games for $30.

Good to hear that! I was in the panic mode for a sec. Hopefully stays that way for at least a few years. :mrgreen:

Modman, you are our main ears when it comes to Gamestop practices. Please let us know when it looks like any system such as PS2, Gamecube and GBAs goes to clearance status.

Oh believe me, it's come close to discontinuation for a bit. GS keeps flip flopping on the issue but I'd give it at least 1-2 years and maybe 3-5 on GBA considering we sold original GB stuff until 2008-9.

Gamecube is the same way but I give it 1-2 years max. Not a lot of Gamecube anything ever comes in even during the last generation. The only thing keeping it alive is the Wii's BC and GS's contract with Nintendo to stock last generation's console while there remains a viable market share.

And no "Viable market share" does not mean retro gamers. There may be a lot of us, but we're nothing compared to the leagues of current gen and graphics come first only gamers as of right now, unfortunately.

Checked for it, if not just for the cool may-or-may-not have been released back story.

But no luck with my search in CA or NY.

Also, each of those dots on this map should be a store that has a copy of this game. The new site format is weird but functionality wise it's not all that bad after you bend the rules a little.
