Almost positive that during my entire time working there, we had 2 copies in stock and ended up getting another 2 during my 6 months there. Don't see them selling anytime soon either.

I'm pretty sure I had to go get the manuals from the cases and put them into the gut wall with the CDs at one point just because I don't see anyone spending that much for anything less than perfect copies.. :L

That being said, I don't work there anymore, onto better things! :P

I'd probably buy Gamecube games from Cex if they weren't so overpriced. Same with The Rage.

_Godot_

I saw a copy of Thousand-Year Door in Cex for 80+. Haha no.

In other news I bought Dragon Quest 8 and Bravely Default on 3DS.

I'm pretty lucky that I don't think there are any outstanding must haves missing in my GC collection, though it is isn't as extensive as the PS2 or even Xbox selection.
The likes of Twin Snakes, Kirby's Air Ride as well as Smash Bros and Animal Crossing were picked up in the days when buying for retro systems was still a niche sub culture and, so, cheaper.
Now it's mainstream and just getting pricier.

I picked Twin Snakes in Woolworths for cheap back in the day. Looking at cex, it's mad they charge over twice what they give you in cash

Gamestop gets a lot of deserved stick but CEX I've seen charge brand new prices of €75 for second hand games. I too often look at the second hand section but run for the hill when I see Paper Mario or Twin Snakes for €75 & you just know the disc is bad too. Same with Twilight Princess it's never dropped in value despite the HD remake on WiiU.
Anyway enough ranting I bought Ace Attorney Spirit of Justice last night on whim. Hope it's good as the previous games

It's a brilliant game I'm sure you'll enjoy it, I was bumping the thread for it a few weeks ago. I'd be glad to chat to you about it

Atavan is picking me up the Pikmin one for me, I just posted him some stuff.
I'm raging when I saw then first I loved the AC and Kirby ones and they're for kids!

Bought Mario kart 8 deluxe but don't like it dare I say I hate it very much. Couple of vertigo scares playing it where the track rotates, bloody pissed as I really wanted it to be on the same level as Mario Kart 7.

Haven't been able to start it yet. I've bought about 8 games in the Xbox sale & spent the week playing WWF No Mercy.

I never liked MK7. I think I hated that they ran out of time to put in a Vs mode. I liked having the choice of playing the AI in any track without playing Grand Prix.
Never played Mario Kart 8....

Oh cool! I was watching a playthru that, they made Chris Beniot women's champion.

I'd love to have a go of the older games again.

Damn you and your pretty trinkets, it sure is purty.

I used to have a Punch Out one of these when I was a kid, it had 2 little detachable controllers and some swine in school stole it off me, never to be seen again...

Found it on the bould Google :

Those are lovely, and expensive!

Holy crap - that's an 80's Switch!

sligeach

That's possibly the last Wii U retail game I get. Unless something springs out of nowhere like World to the West getting a physical release.

G'way outta that. You're bound to pick up at least three more copies of Mario Tennis!

A few sealed copies of Devil's Third and Star Fox Zero!

Just collected the FC30Pro from 8bitdo, courtesy of Amazon and Parcel Motel, worked out at €40.
And, with the new firmware, works a treat with the Switch.
It's only slightly awkward, as I have to turn the system on and then the controller via it's own power button and the y button, but then you are golden, and it works great, just tried out Mario Kart 8 Dx and it's just fine.

Kylo Ren

Nice.

I'm thinking of picking up their wireless SNES controller. Heard great things.

RobbingBandit

Might give Mario kart a try again soon so, am able to get either Lego City or Street Fighter in the morning as I got €30 worth of Argos vouchers as a gift and have €15 cash spare not sure which to go for so this is a premonition rather than a git.

Think LEGO City is on offer in Smyths, might be worth a look!

Oddly enough it's 2 cheaper in Argos at 38 vs 40 from Smyths. Euro symbol not recognised on boards anymore, what do the powers that be round these know that we don't.

I bought a game in Gamestop!

Yeah but it was a Kirby title for a decent price. Not smyths clearance price but still

CiDeRmAn

All is forgiven for Kirby, such a beautiful game.
I wonder what are the chances of a Switch Kirby title...

RobbingBandit

Not if he paid full price, let's all get the rich kid, damn richer.

Argos amiibos back to full price hope they honor my €8.99 ganondorf

CiDeRmAn

I paid full price on it's release, worth every penny.

nairy hipples

Has anyone bought Hyrule Historia? Is it worth a punt?

Ah crap, I just came in here on my way to booking a Callie and Marie. If you have a print out or mail with the price on it they usually honor it - just act really surprised at the till when they say "Gay-known-dorf am-ibo.? €14.99" and you should be grand.

RobbingBandit

Too sick to get in but reserved until Friday so I'm safe unless sweet lady diabeto take my life, she quite the cranky old bitcha lately, gay nan durf is how I've heard it said in there when I was ordering it on Sunday so not far off.

I didn't pay full. I said I got it for a good price just not smyths clearance prices.

Now go back and thank my post.

There is a special place in hell for those that think they got a bargain in gameslop, yours shall be a nes with the entire back catalogue but the console stays on blink mode. Hell hath no fury like a robbingbandit scorned.

It's a nice book alright, though the connections between games can be a bit forced.
Honestly, Marvel do a shared universe and now everyone has to have one.
It'll be interesting to see if they release an updated edition, to take into account the games that have been released since the books publication.

Star Lord

Yeah, it's a gorgeous book, full of some wonderful Zelda art. The timeline stuff is a mess, and shouldn't really matter.

RobbingBandit

Figuring out the time line was always fun, I haven't read the book but mine always starts with Ocarina and ends with A Link to the Past/Link Between Worlds. Maybe I'd end with Breath of the Wild now though. Damn I'm gonna have to go Rick Sanchez portal gun mode on this now.

Star Lord

It's a mess though, as there was never intended to be any time line, so in an effort to ret-con one in, they made a branching time line structure, that just makes everything messy.

Here's a link to an image trying to portray all the games to date into the timelines. The CD-i timeline is obviously the worst. The age of darkness.

Imagine the DLC! You can Portal Gun into any point in the Zelda timeline and the mechanics, rendering engine and viewpoint will change to match. It'd be like aLbW on steroids. The good kind that make you super-strong and angry, not the **** ones that make you fat and maudlin.

Already been done, but it backfired.

Not a "get", and technically not Nintendo either, but Cash Converters in Belfast is selling an FC Twin for £39. Plays NES and SNES cartridges. How well? Only TIME will tell.

Cex in Ann Street have a fully boxed SNES for £100+ also. It's a Super Mario World pack, but the origin of it is unclear (it's not the same box as the one that was released in UK and Ireland).

CiDeRmAn

I have a Retron5 and the quality of the emulation is pretty good.
But I've barely used it over the two years I've owned it.
Nice to have, but owning a region free SNES hooked up to a broadcast monitor via RGB means that's a more attractive way to play the systems library.

I picked up Lego City Undercover myself today, Traded in the Pokémon Go Plus sensor in CEX for cash and spent it around the corner in Argos.
It seems ok....

coffee to go

Picked up a Boo Amiibo in Strabane ASDA today for just one pound! Was well chuffed. They also had some Donkey Kongs for that giveaway price too. Any other ones were full price though.

RobbingBandit

Jesus I am definitely going to Lisburn the massive Asda near Belfast might have some of these I got boo in Smyth's for €5 a few months back, thanks for the info.
