Too early to start talking about rare/valuable Wii games?

[prfsnl_gmr]

Success! I picked up complete copies of 007: Quantum of Solace ($9) and Phantom Brave: We Meet Again ($4.5) from a local store this morning.

There are now only 44 games on my Wii "want list", which means that I might complete my Wii collection before I complete my xbox collection. (My Xbox "want list" also has 44 games on it right now.)

Really wish I had bought Fire Emblem when I had a chance. K-Mart used to stock it here. It was $50 and then it was gone - never had the price drop I was hoping for.

Bummer. The one near me had it clearanced for $20 and I almost didn't get because the longer I looked at it the more I could see my already considerable backlog looming before my eyes. Then I remembered it was a Fire Emblem game and they're rarely ever that cheap used, never mind new, and I bought it anyway. I wish I had done the same when they had Kirby Return to Dreamland on sale, though. It was still new at the time, so I thought I'd have plenty of opportunities to pick it up later.....yeah. Stupid me.

I got excited - found a copy of Dokapon Kingdom at my local gamestop (only one in 100 miles that had it) but it was disc only. Wasn't on my radar for my own personal collection until I revisted this thread.

Expect to find a lot of these popping up again. Gamestop seems to have a disc only reprint going on with this game. They are available online; however, I have to warn you that it will be 99% disc only. I ordered a copy and it came disc only and returned the game to a nearby store.

Is it a reprint or just from the refurbish center? Look for the R sticker on the back; an indicator of a polished EXISTING game disc from Gamestop Refurbish Center.

The Bad
Two days ago no stores showed any available and now this evening I see ten LOCAL stores all now having low stock! I telephoned my shipping connection store and the employee confirmed it came from the Warehouse and unfortunately the disc is in a generic case with no manual. She verified it had the dreaded R sticker on the back indicating a refurbished game from the refurbish center.

The Ugly
After calling five more stores, all stated the same, generic case only. All appear to have come from the Gamestop warehouse! At least this go around they did not rob other games of their cases. Usually when that happens they toss the manuals out on the other games.

Oh, my copy came in CIB. A buyback just a few days prior direct shipped from the other Gamestop.

Thanks for the info on the price drop. I was able to grab Star Wars: Force Unleashed, Boom Blox: Bash Party and NIGHTS: Journey into Dreams.

If anyone has CIB copies of Sam & Max Season 1, Spyborgs, or Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces I have doubles of some games I would be very willing to trade for them:
Flip's Twisted World
Muramasa: The Demon Blade
NIGHTS: Journey into Dreams
Ocean Commander
Sin & Punishment

I've been hunting a complete copy of Sam and Max Season 1 for nearly 1 1/2 years. I don't go out of my way to get it but once in a while local copies pop up and they just aren't complete. I'll probably have to resort to the Internet for this one.

A few of the games you listed have great undocumented features when used with an inexpensive Mayflash adapter and Playstation controller. Play Nights with smooth circular movement just like the Saturn version. Try Muramasa or Sin with a PS1/PS2 arcade stick for a different style of play.

Glad to read someone else has an interest in Skycrawlers flight game. It has an undocumented capability; works with a very slick duel Flight Stick controller, the PS1 Flight Stick! The second stick is perfect for the custom built in flight maneuvers. Easily hooked up either with the Mayflash Classic Controller adapter or the Gamecube adapter box.

I can't believe all these features and capabilities are undocumented

Well, documented only in this forum. Most that own the Skycrawlers game do not know of the Flightsticks that can be adapted to it.
