Depends on what sort of game you like. Mario plays like Super Mario 64, Star Fox Adventures plays like the N64 Zelda games. Both are puzzle-oriented, but Mario focuses much more on platforming, while Star Fox has some exploration elements and a few different modes (some vehicle modes, some on-rails shooting, some mostly button-mashing combat).

Personally, I think Mario is the better game, but that didn't stop me from sinking the 30 hours into Star Fox necessary to finish it.

Metroid is definetly an amazing game. Super Mario Sunshine would be my next purchase if I was you.

Aaaahhh!! Inside the free game case/wireless controller combo at Best Buy is a $10 off Metroid coupon. Too bad I bought the game at the same time. PM me if you want the coupon, it will only cost you a positive heatware.

Holy crap, I just got animal crossing and this game is amazing. Especially if you have a gameboy advance. There is so much to do and unlock in this game, tons of items to collect, like the sims but much more fun! Its not a chore at all. Plus it has something like 17 original NES games built in, that are also downloadable to the E-Reader for gameboy (excitebike, donkey kong, ballon fight, punchout to name a few), zelda and mario bros are both gonna be unlockable in the future too! If you have a friend with it or someone who plays in your game its even better. Definately the most innovative game i've ever played, especially with its use of the internal clock. Yesterday was "sale day" before that was another holiday, something like thanksgiving, i forget the name. Coming up on Dec 23 is international toy day, of course New Years is coming up too. Tomorrow is snow day, the first day of winter. The raffle for the month just ended, I joined up too late to play though :(

Suffice it to say, this game is the weirdest thing in the world, and so worth playing. It looks like a kids game, and i guess it is at heart, but i don't really care as long as i'm having as much fun as I am. Oh and I designed a theme song for my town, the first couple notes of Smashing Pumpkins' 1979, it sounds so cool.

Total was something like 233.xx

The GC was 149.99 with SuperSmashBros @ Target, but I don't like it too much, so I got it at BestBuy.

I was going to do a deal with a guy on here, but he told me had someone else in line if I wanted to bail, so I did because I wanted it NOW, not next week :D

5 $10 dollar off coupons for different games. Nothing I really want though, might use the Monkey Ball 2 one eventually though.
