Sweet, two titles I don't have actually going on players choice.  I guess sometimes it does pay to wait.  This also means reprinting.  Paper Mario has been hard to come by, at least in my area.

You can pre-order Paper Mario for $9.99 right now at BestBuy.

...Puh...puh...pre-order? I'll assume that's some far off Best Buy in a foreign land.

It's a pre-order because Paper Mario is going Player's choice, but not for a week or so ala  the original thread title.

Nice I'll finally pick up Star Fox Assault.
It was a good game just not worth more then $20.

But Mario Power Tennis is still missing. Yargh!

^ I came into this thread hoping that was one of them.

Mario Golf has gotten more than half of its sales from going Players Choice, by the time Mario Power Tennis goes PC nobody will care about it or any GC game. Nintendo probably think we like Golf more than Tennis from these misleading sales differences.

Oh yeah, must get Four Swords and Starfawx Assault.

Paper Mario 2 and Starfox are well worth that price. =o Four Swords is .. kinda.. I guess.
Title: RE: New PLayers Choice titles
Post by: TMW on April 17, 2006, 06:20:53 AM
I dunno...I guess the crushing disappointment of Starfox Assault was too much for me...

I would pay $10 for it though, just so I could play the last level again.

Post by: Artimus on April 17, 2006, 12:45:13 PM
I paid full price for Four Swords and still haven't played it with another person. Waste of money I guess...

More like it's worth 50 dollars so everyone should buy 2 copies to make up for the price drop...

yeah, either that or go out and buy four game boys (if you already dont have them) with link cables.  That kinda makes up for it.  It is a really good game though, so if you already have some GBs then I have to agree with bill.

Just wasn't my cup of tea I suppose, even though I adore Zelda Link to the Past. I don't even know how it makes sense. I paid $30 AUD for an American copy last year and still felt ripped off. =(

CAn you play four swords multiplayer without the gbas?
Title: RE: New PLayers Choice titles

Nope.

Four Swords is awesome Infernal dont deny it. You're just upset that everyone voted against you!

Ye- uh, NO, it's because the of the XBOX LADY.

And 2 people can't play four swords without GBAs??  bah.

OH  Pikmin 2 is going players choice too.  
Title: RE:New PLayers Choice titles
Post by: IceCold on April 18, 2006, 02:41:12 PM
Whoever hasn't already bought Pikmin, know that I will hunt you down if you don't get it now..

It took them this damn long? I wish they'd drop prices sooner and not bother with the Player's Choice chicanery.
Title: RE: New PLayers Choice titles
Post by: NuclearSpeed on April 18, 2006, 08:21:05 PM
pikmin 2 is going too?? I have been waiting for that price drop.
Title: RE:New PLayers Choice titles
Post by: animecyberrat on April 19, 2006, 09:31:43 PM
I hate to say this but pikmin sucked. I hated that game. Zelda Four Srowds was cool if you have GBAs.

I guess at least some of these titles are $20 now at various outlets.

It was the most fun multiplayer game I've ever played on the cube.  How Nintendo acheived making a cooperative competitive adventure game still astonishes me, especially when it is just plain fun.
Title: RE: New PLayers Choice titles
Post by: trip1eX on April 27, 2006, 11:57:28 AM
I got the 4 swords and SF:Assualt for $20 each.  4 swords is a fun one.  I wish I had a couple of GBAs on me.  Maybe I'll buy a couple and then return them after I've played the game awhile.  No way I'm buying them just for this game.  I wish the DS would work this game.  
Title: RE: New PLayers Choice titles
Post by: Jensen on May 02, 2006, 04:41:37 PM
I'd get 4 Swords if it worked with DSs, and if nobody had stolen my Cube.  I've been wating for the Paper Mario and Pikmin 2 price drop... I guess I'll pick them up when I get my Wii.

Post by: Chris1 on May 02, 2006, 06:03:27 PM
Woo! Picked up Pikmin 2 today!  Was gonna get star fox also, but didnt see it

So I saw Star Fox Assault marked down below $15, and, remembering that I bought Geist at the same price and enjoyed it in spite of so-so reviews, decided to buy it.  I think it would have been a better deal to give a random stranger fifteen bucks to kick me in the balls.  This is the second fastest I have ever come to hate a game.  That I actualy hate it is weird enough, since usually I would describe a game I really don't like as merely uninteresting or simply not fun.  This game isn't simply not fun, though.  It's belligerently not fun.  It actively seeks out and destroys fun.  Other games are lessened by existing in the same universe as this game.

To reiterate, if someone were to ask me whether Star Fox Assault is better than a swift kick to the groin, I'd say no.

What do you hate about it? I rented it once and thought it was alright. Just so-so but there were things I liked about it.
