I hit up an EBGames and a GS today. The EBGames didn't have much in the way of GC games, I considered Final Fantasy CC and also Super Mario Sunshine but the only copies of Sunshine the boxes were in really poor condition. they had even less in GBA games, and I think I spotted a haxxor Zelda Minish Cap. My legit copy has a red label on it, this one was golden. Were there different labels for this game? This is the first time I think I have seen a haxxor copy of a GBA game in a GS store. It was pretty busy inside there otherwise I think I would have alerted them that they may have a bootleg copy. Anyways decided not to get anything there.
Went to the gamestop nearby and had better luck. Their GC selection was even worse - didn't even have any copies of Sunshine (!!!). GBA-wise though I made out with WarioWare:Twisted, Zelda:LTTP, and Final Fantasy V for 44 bucks total. They also had Final Fantasy IV:Advance there but I could only pick 3. I figured that FF:IV is coming out on DS soon so I would probably rather have that than getting the GBA version. I wonder if it isn't worth it though to return LTTP (which I paid $13.49 for after the discount) and just get the new boxed version in a store for $20. Then I could pick up the FF:IV advance with a discount and then I'd have a complete FF on GBA collection
.
Later on I went to Circuit City and picked up FF:III for DS and found a copy of FF:VI advance there too. $30 may be a little much to pay for FF:VI but it is a new sealed box and I think it is getting difficult to find this game. Anyways I have it here but won't open it for a while in case I want to return it. FF:III was $30 too but apparently there is a 20% of all DS games at CC so I have to go back and get a small refund.
I just printed off this coupon and gave it to the sales clerk at the gamestop. Is there anything preventing me from just printing out another copy and using it again? Is it a little douchebagish to return LTTP and give them a 2nd copy of the coupon to buy FF:VI? Would they notice/allow it?
I played a little of WarioWare Twisted- reminds me a lot of the Wii version I played a while ago. Pretty neat game, the twisting controls are really innovative. To think this came out on GBA long before the Wii existed. And now I have enough GBA RPGs backlogged that I will probably be getting some pretty good use out of my Game Boy Player (Golden Sun 1 and 2, FF:V and VI- 4 pretty serious RPGs!)
