When I was browsing different games, I eyeballed Mario Galaxy, Metroid, Mario Party 8, Paper Mario - and they're all still normal full price new. Just as shocking is how much these games and other popular ones like Punch Out! and Mario Kart sell for used - they're all still around 35-40 buck s at Gamestop. They're certainly in demand still.Chalgyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879608925209948366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884169422383528093.post-62295062647808007892010-07-16T19:00:25.513-04:002010-07-16T19:00:25.513-04:00@Anonymous from July 15, 2010 @ 9:07AM:

One of my buddies pretty mucn encapsulated this for me when he said that he buys Wii games specific for the Wii, like Metroid, Mario, etc - but he buys everything else for his 360.<br /><br />As for the movie, I enjoyed it but my wife was only so-so on it.Chalgyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879608925209948366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8884169422383528093.post-15339442390163813852010-07-15T09:07:07.884-04:002010-07-15T09:07:07.884-04:00For the movie, my girlfriend liked it and I though...For the movie, my girlfriend liked it and I thought it was just ok.
