There's also a Shop youR wAy rewards promo where it you spend $15 at gamestop you get $15 in SYWR points back. I know some people had issues with the $25 BestBuy one, but I got my points no problem, so I decided to try it again with SM3D World yesterday

Is there a link to this?  I spent $68 in store at GS yesterday...wondering if that would count.

And I don't think it will count. You have to go through their site for it to register. Of note. The points can only be used on their site or, Kmart, and Sears I believe and take a while to appear (like over a month)

Ah okay, thanks.  Will have to see if an online deal pops up in the next few days.

Just make sure you test the heck outta of this game if youre buying it used from Gamestop. I'd say 50% of the used Wii U games I've received from the website do not work.

I had that happen with a used copy of Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze. Fortunately, when I took it to the store to exchange it, they gave me another "used" cooy, that was actually a still sealed new one but they must've been converted to a used sku

Is this game out of print or something?

Called a GS right when they opened and they had one, asked them to put it on hold for me. I drove over to pick it up, and they said I called at the right time as 4 other people called right after me asking for it.

I'm also thinking it might be all the people that bought Wii U's for christmas.

It's weird how GS doesn't have the game new to purchase, though.

Glad GS had the extended return policy for the holiday season. Exchanged one of my B2G1 games from last month for this and paid nothing out of pocket.

Could be. Its also no longer the free game in the bundles.

Given Nintendo is essentially abandoning the Wii U (look at that release schedule - oy), I doubt the Big N is at all interested in printing more inventory for a console that is "dead" in the minds of most gamers.  

I'm still looking forward to Zelda (not TP, don't care at all to replay that), Star Fox Zero, and Fire Emblem X SMT.  And maybe, just maybe, Nintendo will still publish Fatal Frame Five - though I know that last one is never happening.

 

Took those dollars for Fatal Frame V and instead imported FF4 )

Champions road was the most difficult thing I ever have done I believe. Today I was determined to get through it and done it as not only Mario but Peach as well. Probably took me 10 hours and 1,000 attempts but the satisfaction at the end was overwhelming. This is one of my favorite games and the prettiest tightest video game I've ever played period. Well worth $60.

[jacknicklson]

Got my copy and its flawless, game plays with no issues as well

 

I wonder if this is a case of them gutting new copies to sell used. Either way, I m happy

[dsman3717]

Also got my copy in the mail yesterday, with the actual case and disc in perfect condition.

 

Thanks for the heads up on this deal guys!

[stringycupps1]

Mine came today in flawless condition.  It was a trade-in, because it was the one that was packed in the system bundle

If it says "not for resale" in small letters on back it  was a trade-in

[Pengy99]

Grabbed one in store since it was sold out online. Case has a messed up spot but cover art/insert/game all look perfect. Wish I had grabbed it online but I wasn't planning on owning a Wii U till this morning.

today was my first chance, saw it was sold out online so I tried putting copies on hold in my area. most of the stores in my area have messed up inventories

[Pengy99]

Yea not sure if its normal or not but the website has had a listing for cubic ninja at my local store for at least a week yet they don't have it.

[-Never4ever-]

Mine came in a beat-up box and the disc was unreadable :-/

At least the GS employee I talked to on the phone was super helpful about it.

[Ratfoot]

Had a dud disc here, too had to send it back for a replacement

[Pengy99]

I have read some stuff about GS being a mecha for bad Wii U discs. Is it just the discs they refurb or what? I ask because I probably won't have my Wii U before the 7 day return period expires. Disc looks perfect though.

[Raw_Orangejuice]

I found one! 20 mile round trip but I finally found it. Thanks guys, my son is so pumped 

[315Retro]

Finally got mine today. After power up rewards pro and canceling my uncharted pre-order (switched to amazon) I got $. 15 back lol.

[guessed]

Back in stock online. Just ordered with saver and cag16, also "The Witcher III: Wild Hunt - Hearts of Stone Gwent Card Bundle" dropped back down to $9.99, so I added that to my order.

[MrshllJcb]

Tested my copy to make sure it works and it appears to play without any issues, so that's good. Came complete as well which was a pleasant surprise.

Ordered Bayo 2 used today as well so hoping for similar positive results (and the Bayo 1 disc too)

[Clownzilla]

My disc and case look great but the disc is unreadable. Couple of stores in my town show "low stock" so I hope I can return it locally.

I have heard this is an issue with about half the used Wii U discs from Gamestop as well as Gamefly and AWD. I wonder if it's their resurfacing machines or something

Has to be something like that. The disc looks close to perfect. I even thought that it could be a bootleg. I received a bootleg Electroplankton for DS from their web store a few years ago and it wasn't even a good bootleg. I would not be surprised if they just resurfaced the games and placed them right into the case without actually testing them.

[Pengy99]

No way do they test them. Would require way too much work. Easier to just dish out refunds. Looks like my Wii U gets here Monday so I can test this in the 7 day return period thankfully.

It's only 7 days for a cash refund. They give you 30 days for a product exchange.

Well, like an ass, I never tested the game after I bought it on the 8th.  I went to play with my kids tonight and, bam, invalid disc.  Too late for a refund and the nearest store with it is over an hour away... hell, I can't even find the damn receipt.

They can look it up if it's within your last 5 transactions if you want to go elsewhere and exchange it.
