I remember I couldn't find find Deadly Creatures the first day it cme out. I went everywhere. I found one copy at Gamestop. I hate the fact that the case is diffrent than regular wii cases. Never buy from Gamestop if you want the things you like diffrent form others

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

Yeah, there was a time when I was always on the look out for Zack & Wiki in retailers. It's never been a must have title, but I thought to myself "Well, if I do see it at a good price, I'll buy it."

I have yet to see it, and I have yet to buy it.

Good luck.  Last time I saw that game on a store shelf was probably mid 2008.  I eventually broke down and ordered it online.  I wish I would have picked it up when Toys R Us had the game on clearance.  I ended up paying more than I should have, and got it at a much later date.

I guess you could always buy it used, but I don't like to do that personally.

thanks for remining me that used game prices are rising this time of year. I bought my copy for $8 last fall, and if I get lucky, I will be selling it for $22.99. Just posted it on Amazon as the cheapest seller




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

the seal of quality needs meaning again

The seal never had any real meaning. It was just something Nintendo used to garner the trust of consumers after the console crash in the 80's caused people to lose respect. Anyone who grew up with the NES can tell you that console had its share of bad games too despite the "seal of quality". The seal always just meant you're getting a software that isn't too broken and will play in your system.

Secret Saturdays game got a good deal of coverage for what it is, iirc.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

It seems really obvious but I'll ask anyway, have you tried the Internet? I only shop for games online now. Pre-orders are always arrive 1 to 2 days early and I have few problems finding most titles (plus they're always cheaper than the stores).

Pinball Hall Of Fame is one of the best wii games available is not a shovelware

You lie!  Total Recall, Amagon and Tag Team Wrestling are all top-quality games that will never go out of style!

I dont understand why everyone is against crap on the Wii if you all dont remember nintendo enforced these minimum standards on the SNES and they lost tons of 3rd Party support bc of it and also the fact that little developers that could come out with a brand new awesome concept and game are left out bc the little guys cant make the stuff as quality as the bigger companies.
