Re: Too early to start talking about rare/valuable Wii games
Tried to grab a copy of Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces today at Gamestop for 7 bucks, but of course they didn't have the disc.
I swear, I have not been able to go into a Gamestop and walk up to the counter with a handful of games without the clerk coming back saying "we actually don't have this game - I don't know why it's out there.." No lie, it's the 6th time in a row that this has happened - I've never been one to complain to management, but I'm seriously considering writing a letter.
Rant aside, I took advantage of the B2G1 sale and scored copies of Tatsunoko (finally!), Baroque for Wii (only $5!), and Nier for PS3.
Has anybody played Sky Crawlers? I was intrigued by the fact that it's both published by XSeed and made by the same people who did the Ace Combat series. For only $7, it sounds like a steal.

Yes, Skylanders is very good. The motion controls, amazingly, feel perfect.

Hope you got that empty case, reversible cover and manual for when you come across the game at another Gamestop. The game is very very good with Arcade Flying and still has enough realism. I didn't care for the Nunchuck handle as a motion control Flightstick, though it was an interesting approach.
Unlike most Wii Flying games, Sky Crawlers is also both Gamecube and Classic Controller capable. The additional control options work great with a PS1 controller adapter. I found the best way is with a vintage PS1 Flightstick. The large Dual Handle is perfect for executing the special maneuvers.

Avatar: The Last Airbender - Into the Inferno seems be going up in value, probably would go down if more people who had a copy knew its value.
Was looking for a copy to actually play, and noticed the Wii versions prices, may have to settle for PS2.

There are a ton of copies of this game ranging from 15-40 on Ebay right now - not sure why that Amazon one is so pricey.

Yeah, Amazon sometimes can be an outlier, I think Vanquish on the 360 is like $40 there while it's a little more normal most places else.

Heres something I didn't expect to see in the wild.




Re: Too early to start talking about rare/valuable Wii games
Just wondering? Is a game called kamen rider dragon knight going to be rare? I happened to pick this up and I did see video that this was a rare game but I never heard of it and was this a kids show to rip off the power rangers? I asked both my kids and they never seen these people or heard of the show. It's an ok fighter plus it the classic controller option.
