Six dollars is a good price to pay for Sonic Colors, GR. Thanks for the tip.

By the way, am I the only one who thinks that Metroid Prime Trilogy will actually wind up as one of the most plentiful games on the second-hand market? I think it's clear that gamestop has already re-printed quite a number of these. I speculate they're sitting on a big back stock of Metroid Prime Trilogy. This supposedly rare and valuable title seems to be Gamestop's best stocked Wii game; every gamestop I go to has three copies sitting on the shelf.

Metroid Prime Trilogy is today's Final Fantasy 7. Remember when everyone thought his copy of FF7 was worth big dollars? Now it's what, fifteen or twenty bucks? I think history will repeat itself.

I have No More Heroes on the PS3 and I found it fine and the PS Move works fine with it too. The graphics look great in HD.

That said, it's the only version I've played, so I have nothing to compare it too.

Could be depending how many will want it years later. PS1 FF7 even though plentiful still sometimes commands a higher then normal price. Maybe just the tin case Metroid Trilogy will be the pricey version.

Xeonoblade on the other hand (as in ICO) should price drop somewhat once the next version (3DS) comes out.

Funny mine had it marked at $15 :|

It may have been touched on below but I'm seeing some real price decreases on GameStop's website.

Castle of Shikigami III - $2.99
Klonoa - $4.99
No More Heroes 1 & 2 - $4.99

Those are some pretty big cuts - 50% in some cases, seems like more for CoSIII.

I wish I could find these locally.

I have bought and sold Castle of Shikigami III so many times.

The game intrigues me but it also is zero fun to play.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Yeah they have been tracking it over at Cheapassgamer. There are actually a lot of Wii game price drops, here is the link: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/topic/3239 ... ry12023440
