I guess practically all light gun games are short. The only exception I can think of is house of the dead overkill. That one is longer than most.

God, there's so many cool lightgun shooters on wii.

I forgot you mentioning this game. Thanks to watching Metal Jesus's Review of Lightgun games yesterday, I immediately drove out today and finally picked it up.

Gamestop had multiple pristine CIB copies in the drawer not even price tagged! I suspect this is another game that was new and now retagged as used. Great price for a "new" game with just the shrink wrap removed at only $2.69! The online site as well confirms that the game can only be sold as used, an "Arcade cabinet" for under three bucks! :shock:

Well, It's about darn time. :lol: I'm just BSing you. Have fun playing Ghost Squad.

game & wario should still be cheap, wonder if captain toad is next down the line


I'd pick up Wind Waker HD sooner than later if your remotely interested in it, game has been out for 2 years and has barely dropped in price. And looking at the prices of Zelda OOT 3DS now I'd imagine that it won't be long before prices rise on that one too, seems like a game that Nintendo wouldn't produce for long.


so weird to think a zelda game might be trickier to find than say, bayonetta 2 or captain toad, down the road

also yeah that rodea both sounds interesting & has rare written all over it

Don't know if they're valuable or not, and the cost $3.00 at gamestop.

But I found some variants for Wii Speed Racer. Did you guys know about this?

One has a shiny prismatic-like cover and the other is normal.

The shiny one has on the cover, a voucher for a free movie ticket to see said movie and the other doesn't.

Both seem to have the same UPC barcode. But I didn't get a chance to see the physical discs of the games behind the counter to see if they were any different.

Maybe other forum members here with more google-fu experiecnce can shed the light on the discovery.

I have found a few variants over time on Wii stuff. One other I found was that there are two different versions of the disc on the Tales game that released for the Wii.

The shiny version must be the 1st edition due to the movie promo. I have been wondering about the "shiny foil" editions too; I have Wii Sonic Colors that has that same reflection, have not seen another like it.

I forgot about the Speed Racer game, have read reviews equating the game to FZero. Debated on the getting the PS2 version since I do not a shake of the Wiimote to do a stunt jump.

Did you buy yours when the game first came out? I bought Sonic Colors late in the Wii's life after spotting the glitter, every other copy I see at various Gamestop locations do not have the shiny foil.

I got a copy of gunslingers brand new for $21 shipped on ebay, which is the cheapest I've seen for new.
