Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World i love that game
is there a link?
 
Kind of late for those games to become PCs... but I guess better late than never! (Mario Kart and SMW came out in 2002?)
 
[quote name='EXStrike']Super Circuit came out incredibly early in the GBA's lifecycle, didn't it? o_O[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I got it for Christmas 2001, so in its first year.
 
Oh man, I kind of feel bad about the guy that bought my Super Mario Advance 2 on ebay cart only a month ago for $25...
 
[quote name='bmarquardt']{hopes for Minish Cap in the next batch...}[/QUOTE]

I was kinda hoping that minish cap was in this batch after reading the topic title :)

Anyway, in my opinion all of these games are worth the $19.99.
 
Nintendo SUCKS!!!! Is this what we should expect?!? After FIVE YEARS, their games go on discount?!?! WTF?!?! Who even cares to play the original Mario Kart when the DS has a better one?!? (Some of you, I'm sure).

What pisses me off more is that a game like Mario Bros. 2 goes on Player's Choice BEFORE MArio 3 or 4!!!! COME ON!!! Nintendo is the CAG's worst enemy, that's what I say.

Knowing this full well in advance, the only way to really get a cheap deal off Nintendo games is to buy them on opening week, when they are initially sold at a discount. Otherwise... yeah... you'll be waiting five years for some of these...

I did get Zelda for $9 at the Circuit City sale, though. Bah... stupid Nintendo and their ANTI-CAG policies...
 
They need to start doing this with DS games, just like Sony is doing with PSP games.

Prob will pick up pokemon red or leaf again though.
 
Jesus Crappin' Christ, Mario Kart DS is nearly a year old (well, not quite, but...) and just NOW the GAME BOY ADVANCE version is going to be $20? Nintendo is REALLY stingy about lowering the prices on their handheld games. That's one of the few major complaints I have about how they're doing business at the moment.
 
I for one am happy at this news. I haven't picked up four of these, so i'll get the pokemons and both mario games. I still have to pick up the three from the last batch.

I was hoping that the first Golden Sun or the two Fire Emblems would be apart of this new crop.
 
Well, one good thing about this is I assume they're reprinting the games. Zelda Link to the Past is pretty hard to find out there. In under a year I'd guess it would go on clearence again for those of us who missed it during the CC sale.

I could be off base here though.
 
That's great news since you'll be able to score them for $15 each after Best Buy GCC! Each one is well worth that much. I already have them all except Mario Kart SC, but now I can finally pick that up. I still like the old school look of it even though the DS version is out.
 
Nice deal for anyone who doesn't have these yet.

Did Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire ever drop?

Sapphire's the only one I never picked up, and I refuse to pay $35 for a game I'm really only buying to complete my collection...
 
Lots of people like bitching about Nintendo "just NOW dropping the price", but those people are all forgetting one thing. The games for the most part, especially Mario Advance 1-3 and Mario Kart have LOOOOOOOOONG since been out of circulation.

I never saw Super Circuit in stores, and I got my GBA in early 2003. I'd seen the Mario Advance titles maybe once or twice outside of SMB3, and not for 2.5 years could I find them anywhere.

Personally, I'd pay the initial $40 the games cost at launch, but I'd certainly settle for $20. BTW... LTTP/4-Swords has been $20 for YEARS now. What it hasn't been in years, is widely circulated around north america.
 
I'll be getting Zelda and Mario World for sure.

I really hope the Golden Suns get a PC re-release, though. I still need Lost Age.

Actually, it's rather interesting that Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire have never dropped in price to this day...

Oh, and add the first Golden Sun and Kirby:Nightmare in Dreamland. Only because I'm a selfish bastard and want those games, along with Minish Cap.
 
[quote name='banpeikun']wonder if pokemon still comes with the wireless adapter[/QUOTE]
You know what? It's maybe $3 used at most of the GameStop, EB, and GameRush stores in my area. Something tells me that you can afford that. ;)

I think this is the first time that any of the Pokemon games have dropped for the Game Boy. Odd that it took eight years...:whistle2:k
 
[quote name='RedvsBlue']Oh man, I kind of feel bad about the guy that bought my Super Mario Advance 2 on ebay cart only a month ago for $25...[/QUOTE]
Don't worry, I plan on attempting to get $25 fro my cart-only SMA2 (came with my GBA) so I can snag a complete copy in a couple months.
 
Super Mario World has actually been a little tricky to find for under $30-$35 without getting it cart only... glad to hear about this :)
 
Now I'll finally be able to pick up Zelda, since I haven't been able to find it at a decent price. I might get Pokemon Fire Red at some point too. Nice batch of games, though as some have pointed out there could have been a few more favorites added.
 
For the record, I seriously doubt that these Pokémon games will be come with the Wireless Adapter since the non-PC versions have been shipping without them for quite some time. Now, it'd be damn cool if the micro Wireless Adapter came with them... Then I could pick one up without getting too ripped off.

Anywhoo, I'm glad to see the LTTP price drop - hopefully this means I'll be able to pick up 2 more used copies super-cheap so I'll have full access to Four Swords! Yay!

... hooray! Eight years after the fact Nintendo finally decided to drop the price! :roll:
I'd actually be angry about this if these weren't such incredible games. I've played through Red/Blue about 10 times. What's another $15 after GGC for a trot down memory lane?
 
Sweet, I should definently get SMW, since it was so good on SNES. The Pokemon games are sweet at that price. Is LoZ:LttP really good? Because if so I might get it, I never played the original for SNES or anything.
Hopefully the next PCs will include Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, because I have Nightmare in Dreamland, and that is just so short. I am guessing that at one point all the Super Mario Advance games will be PC, based on antoehr being added.
 
Looks like it's finally time to pick up Mario Kart Super Circuit. Also, it'll be nice to try and grab a copy of Fire Red before the regular version vanishes and the new budget version hits store shelves.

I hope they hold off on DS PC titles until they figure out how to make the covers not look like ass.
 
Ugh I dont want GBA games to have players choice, just puts more anxiety on me to find an orginal...are these the first 4 ever GBA Player Choice games?

First ones were Superstar Saga, SMA1 (Mario 2), and SMA3 (Yoshi's Island). Good thing is they don't change the carts for these, just add the yellow stripe on the front of the box. I don't mind it at all, particularly compared to the GC PC packaging.
 
I've been looking for SMW for a while since I got my DS. Plus now I can finally play that zelda game.
Isn't it funny that all of these PC's are price drops?
