It is very hard to find discounted high profile Nintendo releases so I jumped on a new copy.

Saw this last night. Looking to bundle it with Tatsunoko and Golden Sun I think. A decent trio.

Really fun game, if mostly simple. The transformations - aside from the train - are totally sweet.

I let Amazon know about the price drop.

permanent price drop? or temporary?

good price regardless. got this during a b2g1 during christmas, so paid about $33.

All credit to ackbar7 for this tip:

You can buy 3 Epic Yarns @ Gamestop for ~$50 with the B2G1 sale right now and trade in 2 of them for $25 each ($50 total credit) and keep the third at virtually no cost to you. I'm out a mere $1.80 on the deal & I convert $50 of Gamestop credit into $50 of much more usable Amazon credit. Winning!

Hmmmmmm...thinking pretty hard on this.

is this game rare or something? and is it really that good to make it worth picking up?

it got pretty good reviews from most places... i have not played it myself.. but the OP is right... Nintendo games like this don't get cheap... i think Twilight princess is still 50 :X

Thx, gonna go do that now! That'll help towards my pre-orders of Socom4 & MK: TE on Amazon!

Debating if I want to bite or not. I know the Kirby games always felt pretty easy to me and this looked fairly easy as well when watching my sister play it.

Did your trade-ins go through? I heard amazon is really picky about their game trade-ins, and won't accept games without manuals or cover art or if they are in bad condition, and it's kind of hard to find used games at gamespot that are in mint condition

I tried as well but I keep getting an error.

Considering I just ordered today I can't say they went through. I've ordered plenty from Gamestop's website in the past and rarely get a disc only. Kirby is still pretty new (It came out in Octoberish last year) so the likelihood of getting incomplete games is minimal. Even if that does happen I have friends that are store managers at my local Gamestops that would swap out for completes anyway. If anything I'm concerned they won't arrive in time to ship out to Amazon.

I feel like this can be had at $20.

I wish Amazon would match the price because I wouldn't mind picking up this and Sonic Colors for $50 total.

Maybe... but Nintendo first party games hold their value for a loooong time.

lol, I love Gamestop's definition of a "new" game: gutted open.

There's no way of knowing how long this GS sales wil last?
If this sale is good till Wednesday I will jump on it.
