Went to another "Japanese Mega Store" today. Once again, it wasn't anything special. As I've heard it, the ones in the major cities (like the one I live in) aren't that great. But I came back with two nice scores.

Marvel Super Heroes (Saturn JP)
Akumajyo Dracula (Super Castlevania JP)

Both in great condition for ~$18.

I found an NES zapper, the gray one, at Goodwill yesterday for $3. Haven't gotten to use it yet.

I also went to the Gamestop in the Mall of America (was at a conference in area today) and went to buy Golden Sun from their GBA case.
Ha. I just had to add that I also went to MOA yesterday (Friday) and checked out Hi-Score Games, both Gamestop's, and Fye. I didn't find any buried treasures though. :?

Oh, and I do recall the cute [blonde] girl that you mentioned. She was definitely a lil' cutie. Nice rack, too :wink:
Hi-Scores is probably the most expensive store I have ever seen. I don't know why anyone would purchase anything from there since it's at least 3x more expensive than anywhere else.

Well I was thankful to find Golden Sun even with the snafu but I almost picked up FF Tactics for the GBA as well.

She was a cute girl though. LOL!!!

I got it here in Canada

For Hot Pixel, got it for 9.99 in HMV. Decent price for a game that is like a Warrio mini game play.

For Ghost Squad, I got it for 20 dollars from Wallmart in those budget price box. Should check there when you have a chance as the wallmart I went to have many good games less than 20 dollars.

They're not near as bad as Games-N-Go or Game Central. Those two places (who were once owned by the same people) are a fucking joke! I frequently see them mark up NES or Genesis titles (often loose!) for $20+ when I've bought them complete elsewhere locally from anywhere between .50 and $5.

The only thing that's cool about Games-N-Go is that they frequently put on SFIV tournaments. That's it

...as for the games I found today. Nothing major. But I did find a nice variety for decent prices.

Fire Shark (Genesis) *COMPLETE* *MINT* - $5
Nights Into Dreams (Saturn) *Excellent* - $10
Sonic 3D Blast (Saturn) *Excellent* - $10
Road Rash (PS1) *Original Long Box* *Good* - $5
ATV Offroad Fury 2 (PS2) *MINT* - $3
NHL Hitz 2003 (Gamecube) *Sealed* - $3
Virtua Tennis 2009 (360) *Sealed* - $7

With tax, I probably spent near $50 for today's haul. Not too shabby

I plan to re-sell NHL Hitz 2003, and then maybe Nights if I don't like it.
