Stopped by one of the best Game Stops i have ever been to and picked up a CIB copy of this game.

Data East Collection
Arcade Shooters collection
Deadly creatures
Castle of shikigami 3
Tatsunoko vs Capcom (AWESOME GAME)
One piece Pirate
Dokapon Kingdom (awesome game BTW)
Godzilla Unleashed (I'll post pics when I get home)
Good pickup, I got that one a few months back. I still need to grab a copy of Data East Collection and One Piece. I'm just hoping it turns up in a Gamestop closer by since there are still plenty of Wii trade-ins taking place.

Tatsunoko vs Capcom is definitely awesome, a great game with a friend.
It is specially when you start warming up and get some wild looking double team combo's going.For one piece I saw one at wheaton mall(only thing missing is the cover art but bring booklet) for Data East last one I saw was in Waldorf, I think that might be a bit far.

The only thing with my DEC copy is that it was a display copy meaning it was gutted :cry:. but it came with everything and was "resealed" :roll: with the little circle sticker they vandalize gutted cases with.

I did call about the one in Wheaton Mall, but I didn't bother with it because it didn't have the original case. I'm trying to be patient with that one. I really need to make a trip and grab a copy of Data East at some point. I try not to go out of my way so if I happen to be nearby, I'll make sure to check out the Gamestops in that area. I've noticed that the Gamestops further north (around Columbia, Fredneckie, etc.) have really good inventory of EVERYTHING.

I hate the resealing that they do with the stickers but sometimes I get a nice employee and they won't put the sticker on. Unfortunately, it can be a good deal just to grab a new, gutted copy since it's the best price you can find. In the case of Data East, the $19.99 "new" price is still worth it for that game.

I think Pandora's Tower will also be sought after, mainly because of it's release so late in the Wii's life, and also for it's lack of commercial popularity

I was reading about the premise of the game and it sounds sweet, I might be picking it up after school tonight. Sounds a little like Jeanne D'arc in terms of the reaper monsters trying to consume there human host so they can be free and cause chaos.

I think a ton of Wii games have the potential to be worth money. As we head further into an era of DLC and updates, 360 and PS3 games won't retain their value as well as Wii games. 10 years from now when Xbox Live and PSN are nonexistent, unlike 360 and PS3, Wii games will still be complete products out of the box. Also it seems most non first party Nintendo games that are not shovelware have somewhat limited print runs.

10 years from now if you go into a flea market and pick up Marvel vs Capcom 3 for 360, you won't be able to play half the characters because they were downloadable, that won't be an issue with Tatsunoko. If you pick up Fallout New Vegas or Dead Island you will be stuck with unfinished turds because you won't have access to the most recent update.

I think Zack and Wiki, Muramasa The Demon Blade, Sin and Punishment, A Boy and His Blob, The Resident Evil shooters, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, etc will all raise is price substantially in the next few years. Get Wii games now while they are still relatively cheap.

I think it will be very easy to download patches on a PC and apply them using a flash drive.

That's What I intend to do! I still need to pick up Sakura wars, sin and punishment, punch out, rhythm heaven, fragile and maybe one of the rune factories. Wii is such a great system despite what people keep saying about it.

SO many awesome games still left to buy. At least the Wii has passed on.

At least it keeps good company - I would hang out with the NES, SNES, N64, and Gamecube any day :D
