[quote name='untoldsorrow'][quote name='Zenithian Legend']You can add Super Monkey Ball 2 to that list as well.[/quote]

Can anyone confirm this? I really want to pick this up duriing the EB BF sale tomorrow.[/quote]

Well, while BF ended a while ago, yes, yes it is a PC title. Sorry to be about a month late with the reply. This surely won't help you now.
 
i wasn't really sure where to put this, and it certainly didn't deserve its own topic...

but at target this past weekend, i noticed something odd. smash bros has been re-released yet again, this time WITHOUT the yellow players choice bar across the top, but WITH the best seller emblem on the bottom.

i can't understand why they would do this, especially since the players choice wind waker has both already... but, anyone looking for a copy of smash bros without the yellow bar (or yellow spine) should be able to find one easily now.

Is it a sticker or is it actually printed on the cover?

Was it still $30?

I have a feeling if they did this with Smash Bros., maybe they had a lot of complaints about the yellow Player's Choice, and this is how they plan on correcting it? Since they are putting with and without the label, maybe they plan to make that the new Player's Choice...

Or maybe Nintendo is doing this to give them an excuse to keep the price at $30. It wouldn't make sense if all PC games were $20 except for this one. Speaking of which, does it bother anyone else that Mario Golf came out way later than Smash Bros. and yet MG is $20 and Smash is still $30?

Smash Bros is still selling well at that price. Mario Golf probably wasn't selling as well anymore, so they dropped it to $20. It's all up to Nintendo when they do it. I wish Smash Bros would drop so I could finally rebuy it.

I wish Smash Bros. would drop so I could buy it for the first time.
 
I wish I had the regular black border on my copy. #-o It is the only Gamecube game I own with the damn Player's Choice cover!

And, I have Pac-Man World 2/ Pac-Man Vs. that always has it...
 
it was not a sticker, it was actually printed on the cover, like with all the other "best seller" emblems. and they didn't have a price with it, so i can only assume that it was still $30.

how long before we have a "Nintendo's Best Seller list" thread? This entire practice of marking games differently based on sales is starting to really be a pain in the ass.

I finally saw it today. I like it way better than the PC stuff.
 
Excuse me if it's been mentioned elsewhere on the thread, but I was at TRU tonight and saw a Player's Choice Timesplitters 2 - that's the first time I've seen that one.

Really? Whats funny is it's been 20$ for a long time now - maybe they're just trying to milk some more $$ out of it. It's better on the PS2 anyway.
 
Since the OP of the first topic no longer updates his list, I'd like to present the new list... Let me know what's missing, I've heard of a couple of games that might be PC that aren't on this list but I couldn't verify. NFG, if you'd like to replace the old post with this one I promise to keep this updated the best I can.

I've never seen some of those with Players Choice labels on them. Can anyone else verify?
 
Out of the list Doc Ramon posted, I've seen Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup, and Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life in Player's Choice packaging.

I personally have seen SSX Tricky in players choice garb because I picked one up at last summer's Cc $5 sale and that is its packaging. I'm not too sure of Rayman 3 though but LOTR: Return of the King and NBA Street definitely are.

updated
 
NintendoFanGirl- if you're going by nintendo's site... don't.

they don't have a clue... that thing is rarely updated, usually only when first party titles go PC, and even then many third party titles aren't added.

with the exception of rayman 3, this list is accurate. and i must be the only person who has seen it players choice. they had a ton of them at my local target before the game was clearanced out.
 
[quote name='NintendoFanGirl']Harry Potter Quidditch World Cup, according to Nintendo, is not a PC title.[/quote]

They don't get to updating that often. I've verified most of these myself (those not on the Nintendo website).
 
No, I didn't just go to Nintendo's website, I asked them. They said it isn't. If you can show me something that proves that it is, I will take that information to them so they can update it.
 
The Player's Choice copy of Quidditch I spotted was at a Best Buy, and it's the only copy I've seen to date in the Player's Choice packaging (in fact, it was the only copy I saw in the store when I was there).

I don't have a digital camera so I can't provide a pic, but it is out there. Just keep an eye out.
 
[quote name='NintendoFanGirl']I kid you not, here is EA's response to my question "is Harry Potter Quidditch World Cup for GameCube a Player's Choice title?"

[/quote]
:rofl:

If they were actually helpful, they'd be fired.
 
saw another new one today...

James Bond: Everything or Nothing

it was at target, on the endcap with a bunch of other PC/PH/GH titles. if nobody can find a copy to verify, i'll try to go out and take a pic of it at some point.
 
A little off topic.. but damn I'm getting tired of not being able to find Super Monkey Ball 2 at a low price. Once a game hits greatest hits, I just refuse to pay 20 bucks for it. Call it CAG syndrome or something

I've seen it.

Also, if there are a bunch missing from the OP, someone make a list and post it here and I'll put it in the OP.
 
If only EA's games were as good as their email replies.

also, I saw a Quiddich at the toysaurus in PC packaging.
 
[quote name='StealthySeal']updated OP from official nintendo site

if that updates again i will edit as needed :)[/quote]

Success!

thanks.

there about in line with their customer service
 
I can verify Rayman 3 and Quidditch Cup. Quidditch Cup I've seen at Player's Choice for awhile.

To be honest, I stopped coming into this thread because it hadn't been updated in a long time.

Rather than having to have a mod update it, can't we just unsticky this, lock/delete it, and have someone who will actually maintain it restart the thread?

Thanks Stealthy. Man that list was old.
