Zelda Twilight Princess GC $12.48 @ my Target

[CasioTech]

I'm not sure how this works around the country but TP is reduced 75% off at all my local targets in the electronics clearance section.

So those interested should be on the lookout if yours has any or you might find other deals on games.

Interesting, I just found out earlier today that this game can be used to crack the wii and allow you to install bootleg virtual console games... Weird how the universe works that way sometimes eh?

Use your Google-fu for more info, cuz I'm not giving out any links.

I believe that only the Wii version allows that. When playing GC games the Wii shuts off anything that wasn't part of the GC.

Back on topic, that's a pretty good price. Although I think the Wii version was better.

what??? I dunno about any of that shit but what does a Zelda game have to do with VC games?

I'm against playing VC games. Somehow I feel that half the fun of playing a game is playing it on it's intended console. Porting stuff and playing on a VC isn't stimulating to me. I don't see the point of playing a NES or SNES game on a Wii. Just like I don't see the point of buying a ps3 or 360 only to play old ps2 or xbox games.

do people live in such small homes where they can't find the room to fit in a few more consoles?

 

[CasioTech]

the wii version had it's problems. Right handed, 3rd person whilst using bow and arrow, inverted maps, etc.

I think the purists preferred the GC version, which is why it fetches a higher price than the wii version right now. It is also becoming much more rare. In a couple of years a sealed TP for the GC will go for over $50 whereas the wii version will probably go for under $20.

$20? Nintendo doesn't make greatest hits like Sony and MS.

 

[CasioTech]

of course they do!

player's choice bby!

Either way, markdowns on amazon, ebay, etc.

 

[ghost recon88]

Dang, resale value on eBay is quite high, might have to scope this out.

 

[CasioTech]

yeah but don't sell right away, I bought a box of fire emblem Path of Radiance about a year ago and resold them for $45 (bought for $10 each) now they go for $100 on amazon and they SELL! I sold about 20. I could have made an extra grand if I waited a few more months.

.

I don't really consider any of those problems with the game itself. Aiming with the bow and arrow via wiimote is much easier than using a GC controller. Right handed and inverted maps don't really change the gameplay all that much.

You never cease to amaze me.

Loved this game, but sold the Wii after beating this. Great game.

I checked my local Target and didn't find it anywhere, so they either sold out or something. I was kinda hoping they'd have it so I might have something to play this summer.

 

[Blayze]

did not see this at my local Target. Might try the one across town. Good deal.

 

[erwos]

I saw this at my local Target, but it was still like $40.

Alas, it's hard to justify purchasing it if you have a Wii - the Wii version enables homebrew, which makes it a heck of a lot more valuable.
