hmmm, interesting. Nice find. I may have to pick up SFA now that it is in the price range that i think the title deserves. I wanted to get this game when it was released but held off. In terms of adventure games (one of my top fave genres), is it a good game and worth the now Player's Choice price tag.

how is Mario Party 4 not on the list?

Griffin · « **Reply #4 on:** September 07, 2003, 11:14:10 AM »

I have a feeling that one will be put on PC (player's choice, not computer) near MP5's release...just my prediction.

The Animal Crossing link leads to Star Fox Adventures. Is that one really Player's Choice? If it is, I want to complain, seeing as how I just bought the game.

rpglover · « **Reply #6 on:** September 07, 2003, 12:02:04 PM »

and another thing about animal crossing- if it is players choice- does that mean that it will still ship with the memory card and will it be 25 or 30 bucks??? i have yet to buy that game so it may be a good purchase

Pale · « **Reply #7 on:** September 07, 2003, 12:14:15 PM »

Player's Choice titles should be 19.99.....

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #8 on:** September 07, 2003, 12:15:35 PM »

Well, actually I wouldn't be all THAT pissed, as I just got the game with a memory card from a pawn shop for $40 CAD (~$25 USD). But yeah, I was curious if it would ship with a memory card too, and that's why I clicked on the link.

AgentSeven · « **Reply #9 on:** September 07, 2003, 12:19:02 PM »

Your right, Player's Choice should be $19.99. I'm glad to hear that Animal Crossing is going to be a PC title. I might finally pick that one up.

as far as i'm concerned, the gamecube has no such thing as a players choice lineup. i see the stickers designating players choice games, yet the price is still $50 canadian while both the ps2 and xbox greatest hits games are $20-$30. nintendo needs to do something about this.

Berny · « **Reply #12 on:** September 07, 2003, 03:06:18 PM »

Animal Crossing will soon be mine!!!

Cap: That's not Nintendo's fault, it's the retailers. Nintendo does drop the MSRP on players' choice titles to $20 US.

Nintendo Gamecube · « **Reply #14 on:** September 07, 2003, 03:13:04 PM »

I didn't enjoy SFA that much..I borrowed it from my friend, got about 35% done. Then my lil' bro wiped out my memory card. After that, I didn't have the motivation to beat the game...to much annoyingness like having to feed Trixy (which is the dumbest thing I've ever done in a game). The action is not so great, and I didn't really like the way you switched weapons in the game. I like Zelda's style, where you pause and switch them. I guess it is all jusr preference. the game just didn't appeal to me.

BTW, how is Turok? I picked it up for $10, but only played a level through. I'm comtemplating whether or not I should spend my time playing that game. Is that multyplayer any good?

i'm not sure if thats correct. i believe that while both sony and ms put their greatest hits at a MSRP price of $20, nintendo puts their at $30. while it doesnt actually mention if it is the actual MSRP price, here is a link to an ign article regarding the original players choice titles saying they will retail for $30 US.

Well, they're $20 where ever I go.

I thought it was confirmed that MP4 will becomes PC when MP5 comes out...Unless I was dreaming

Sweet!.... too bad I already own all four

Maybe I'll finally get Mario Sunshine... *hangs head in shame*

owww beans, animal crossing better come out here as a players choice title right away or ill be steamed :\ and the boiled... and possibly.... sautee'd

Nintendo has still yet to announce the new lineup, they just updated it on their site. Im sure with the new PS2 bundle and expected pricedrops that Nintendo will probably do some wierd package deal again instead of dropping their price, but who knows, they do lots of wierd things.

Rhoq · « **Reply #22 on:** September 08, 2003, 05:16:28 AM »

I just read over at NinGC that Nintendo's Player's Choice line-up will be $19.99 from now on. It's about time!

AgentSeven · « **Reply #23 on:** September 08, 2003, 08:27:18 AM »

I've actually heard that the console won't be doing any price drops, as previously reported.

As for the Player's Choice titles, does anyone know when the price change will take effect?

Usually when the new Player's Choice games are announced, they just put a sticker on top of the old boxes. So if you hurry, you'd likely still be able to pick up a copy of AC with the memory card but with the lowered price. Not sure what'll happen when they release the games with new cover.
