No, they don't. If you're even the slightest bit interested, I'd get a copy.

I already have B2 (for my sister) and W2 (for me...still have to beat the original) thanks to flipping games at Gamestop for a 25% bonus, but it was still like I paid $15-$20 for each copy, so I'm not bothered by this sudden sale.

makes me wish i had waited a year to buy kid icarus

As lame as this is, Pokemon games are usually at their cheapest when they launch. That is to say, the prices never drop more than a buck or two, if that, but like most other games they go up a little bit on Ebay/Craigslist once they stop printing them.

Nintendo really needs to rethink this policy of not letting their games get cheaper. That was one of the main factors that drove me to the PS3 this gen (why pay $50 for Galaxy when that same $50 can get me both Bioshocks, both Arkham Games, and the 1st Dead Space!?).

WTF, I didn't want to buy anything, looks like Pokemon Black 2 & Pokemon White 2 & Layton will be added to the backlog.

Got PL, B2, W2 and paper mario, prices rang up right at the register.

This. I did the TRU sale on launch day and don't regret it, plus I still have the 2 awesome coins

This is the cheapest I have seen a Pokemon game this close to launch ever. I found a copy of Platinum at Blockbusters for 8$ recently and thought that was a steal. This is just insane

Someone posted a comparison link earlier. There's a handful of pokemon exclusive to each version, an unique area, and some areas with unique art.

guy at the gaming register was astounded that these games rang up so cheap, unfortunately for him i snagged the last paper mario and kid icarus but god damn how is this sale suppose to even last 2 days?

Can't see them being in stock after today

I was about to go to BB, now thanks to ZxT Vendetta I just ordered it on Amazon with prime shipping. And will not worry about Icarus and Target, will just get the stuff when it's available.

Edit: I bought Kid Icarus here about 10 days ago for $20, only the sealed game not the stand. I've barely even touched the game so far. Oh well!

Son of a gun, I might jump on Pokemon. Thanks OP!

It only took a few sarcastic posts for you to see the error in your ways

Pokemon White/Black 1 is $18 on gamefly if anyone is looking for a cheap copy.

grabbed Kid Icarus then i went back for Pokemon White 2.
i skipped this generation after i played thru Soul Silver.

Wish i didn't pick up the digital version of Paper Mario for that Donkey Kong game :/

Sorry, I meant having BOTH versions. Already bought B2.

Wow, I need to stop buying games that I probably will never play because I don't own a 3DS

Haha. It did help, I was struggling with the idea myself and leaning heavily towards not doing it. What's a few bucks anyway compared to a clean conscience .

ps: It does mean waiting until the end of February to buy Fire Emblem though. So it takes patience too :p.

Thanks. Pokemon white 2 for $15 and Layton for $15 is awesome

Really hoping Amazon will price match Kid Icarus, since Best Buy is out of stock

Why don't you try Naperville/Aurora/Dekalb Best Buys?
