[irishsoccermbw]

They are really trying to get rid of GBA games, I think I'll wait for the inevitable clearance :) thanks for the quick update

[discoalucard]

They just started cleaning GB/GBC games in the past few months, and it's been years since they've been able to be used on a modern system, since support was phased out with the DS. I'm sure GBA games will stick around for a few more years.

When was the last time they actually had a DS one? That's the one I'm waiting for.

[Nirron]

Guess I can try and get some use out of this. A GBA coupon combined with a 7-month dry streak for a DS coupon makes me wonder if they are just selling a ton of their used DS games. Wouldn't bother me as much if the eternal 10% was still with us.

Anyhow, enough of my bitching. Thanks again jp, keep up the good work kind sir.

Edit: @discoalucard The last DS coupon was 10/31-11/06, so a little over 7 months.

[Masker13]

Only Interesting stuff for me looks like the 12 month XBL card and Call Of Duty :W@W
Thanks OP

[musicman65000]

Is it just me or are they trying to put out every other coupon but the 20-25% off DS coupon? :drool: It's like they are playing with my emotions...EVERY WEEK! :bomb:

[punkmaggit]

Time to return/rebuy both Golden Suns! AWESOME.

[Kush]

I'd love to pick up some GBA games, but I just can't buy games w/out the case & manual and sadly not even one GBA game will ever be complete at a GS. Nothing too special this week, but I guess the B2G1 deal will make up for that.

there are places to look for manual... and get a DS case and reprint the cover art and you have the slickest case ever.

I think they had a GBA coupon with a buy 2 get 1 free .... and usually the b2g1 free trumped the measily 20%.

kinda retarded....

[speedrunner17]

Really weak ad.

[detectiveconan16]

This coupon's okay... I think I'll buy a Zelda.

[JohnnyDrama]

thanks, hopefully there's a DS coupon next week

[karkyco]

Shit...too bad this doesn't stack with the B2G1. I might have to try for a manual override to combine the two...even though the chances of success are nil.

[emg28]

thanks, hopefully there's a DS coupon next week
Some of us have been saying the exact same thing every week for about 7 months.

[Friend of Sonic]

Where Were You When The Last DS Coupon Was Released?

Why, I was eating breakfast with my family, and I saw the new coupon, for that week, you know, the DS coupon and I thought, all right, awesome! I'll try to make it out this weekend to use it. I didn't, so I didn't think it was that big of a deal... then- then we found out that the DS coupon was dead...

I was writing up the thread that week and was like, this is bullshit, I want a 360 coupon. I got my wish about 4 weeks later if I remember correctly.

[rmb]

ds coupon will be the 4th of july weekend is my prediction

[V4oLDbOY]

any good gba games to even think about?

[plasticbathmonki]

I'll probably pick up Metroid Fusion and Link to the Past, or Final Fantasy VI if I can find it. Thanks JP

[ps360gamer]

I'm buying Heavenly Sword. I've been holding on it and with B2G1 Free at $24.99, I'm getting it and two others.

[oscargrouch]

There are a lot of good RPG/SRPG GBA games. Yggdra Union, Riviera, Golden Sun, Lufia, Final Fantasy. Also platformers/adventure Castlevanias, Metroids etc, Klonoa, Megaman

[destro4eva]

I'll second what Oscargrouch said, The Castlevania and Metroids are all great ones to check out, see if you can find Shining Force and Tactics Ogre too. Advance Wars are amazing as well. SO many great games for that system. Golden Suns and Shining Soul games are worthy of a look see too.

[themothman421]

man if only a gamestop near me had a copy of Tactics Ogre, I'd be all over that.

[destro4eva]

Yeah Tactics Ogre is pretty super. Also how could I forget the Fire Emblem series, really liked the Double Dragon re-do by Atlus and of course a slew of Mario/Zelda games are out there both classic NES style and new ones too.

For pinball fans, Pinball of the Dead is really cool.

[kart007k]

Time to return/rebuy both Golden Suns! AWESOME.

I might do that.

[oscargrouch]

I almost picked up Klonoa for the GBA -- but the label was ass when they took it out of the case. Guy thought I was nuts when I said, sorry gonna pass.

[Organ Donor]

Nothing for me. Thanks for the ad, jp.

[bob330i]

How's the Logitech wireless wheel? Been thinking about picking one up for my racing games.

[blandstalker]

This is a good time to remind folks -- be sure to check your GBA carts before you buy them to make sure they are not counterfeit. The best way is to look for the word "Nintendo" on the inside, just beyond the gold pins. You don't need to open up the cart, but you might need to squint.

See here for clarification (http://wiki.pocketheaven.com/Counterfeit_GBA_Carts).

I bring this up because the first time I found Tactics Ogre, it was a fake. I didn't make that mistake again. I've seen several counterfeit games at various Gamestops.

[bvharris]

I'm tempted to try and track down a copy of FFV, as its the only Final Fantasy which I do not own a copy of. None of the Gamestops particularly close to me have it though.

Excellent point. I knew about this and always ask to see the GBA games as soon as they come out of the glass case. I always look for the Nintendo on the PCB. They often think I am crazy when I do it, but then I explain and they say really? Yup.

Anyway I finally found Final Fantasy VI and I also picked up Klonoa Empire of Dreams and Broken Sword. Glad I went by the tiny GS that usually has nothing.

[Rozz]

I remember a long time ago I was going to buy Rayman on the GBA at EBGames. The label ended up being in bad shape, however, and I declined the offer. When I did so the employee stated in an all-knowing tone "the cart still works fine even if the sticker is in bad condition".

Yeah the guy started that with me too, but I just told him I was really picky. Found it later at a different GS so overall GS didn't lose out.

[Tsukento]

And if anyone's crazy enough to pay for the insane prices on the Pokemon GBA games, remember...

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a20/Tsukento/Game%20crap/pkmnlgboot.jpg

The ones on the left are what the games are SUPPOSED to look like. What you see on the right of them are counterfeits. The bootlegs also CANNOT be used to transfer Pokemon into Diamond, Pearl or Platinum.

[Haako]

Picked up FF6 last night. $13.99 +Tax

[punkmaggit]

How come this isn't sticky'd?

[bob330i]

How come this isn't sticky'd?

These are never stickied. If it's a good deal (this one isn't) it would be on the first page.

That and all the information from this thread is listed inside of the Sunday Ad threads. Cheapy puts the information in there, streamlined, to fit that format. He keeps this thread separate I'm assuming for the coupon discussion, instead of rolling it in like the other weekly ad threads.

[kart007k]

Golden sun is a must buy.

[Mr.Swagga]

Opps

[punkmaggit]

Grabbed Breath of Fire yesterday for like $7.xx!!! Totally stoked!
