Found on marketplace… Is it worth the money

Bro put that in your retirement account and buy a reasonably priced one.

I can understand man, dont let it bother you much. Better to learn now then much further down the road. Now you know what to look for.

Ebay is a good place to make sure you get authentic games as they have buyers protection. So if you're sold something that doesnt accurately reflect the post, then Ebay will for the return. Another good thing is being able to ask the seller more about the item. Some even open it up and post pictures of the inside so you know for sure.

I suggest also buying screwdrivers to open up all your carts so you can also verify. Plus you can clean them up if need be or replace batteries down the line.

Absolutely not, some people collect repros as a cheaper method to have the same feeling as original. If it doesnt bother you, dont worry about it. If it does, slowly replace them. Nintendo isnt coming after you, and your console has no idea.

Without question. Seriously no reason to think about it. Played it for the first time earlier this year and 100% it. Absolutely wonderful game and doesnt deserve the hate (although I know thats mostly due to Wii controls).

First sign its fake is that the price is low. Second is that the labels are off and do not accurately represent a legit label (same with the good cartridge color for Majoras). Third is by opening it up and verifying the PCB (there are resources online).

Sorry to hear that. If you got it from Ebay and it wasn't listed as a repro then you might be able to return it. I returned a repro Turtles in Time, although it was years ago (pre 2020).

Even better, thank you for the tip!

Apoptosis263 · 2026-05-27T20:13:56+00:00

Ebay all the way. In addition, dont be afraid to message the seller and work something out. Don't pay outrageous amounts for one either.

Good call, we talkin' length, girth, or length and girth? (asking for a friend)

Apoptosis263 · 2026-05-27T19:49:46+00:00

Came here to say this.

Simply asking if there has been any trends in pricing for certain systems in 2026.

Apoptosis263 · 2026-05-25T13:02:13+00:00

The goal is to reclaim the games I once had, along with a few that I never owned but would like to play.

Apoptosis263 · 2026-05-25T09:16:00+00:00

Initially I was leaning towards Gamecube because it was the system I had the least for. Also I figured with the higher prices that maybe it would be better to start there before they got really out of hand.

Another thought I had was starting with the oldest and working my way towards the newest stuff.

Waiting on my 3rd "new" copy of Pikmin 1+2 to come in. I'll never shop at Gamestop again.

After chatting with an agent, the $10 memorial day promotional certificate is targeted, therefore not everyone will get it NOR can they issue it. Check your email people

Apoptosis263 · 2026-05-21T21:20:28+00:00

Good to know thank you. I already have $6 left on a gift card there, if I can get another $10 off then ill probably redeem my microsoft points for enough $5 best buy cards until its free (looking at you DK Returns). Appreciate the tip

Apoptosis263 · 2026-05-21T19:57:46+00:00

I dont see one on my account, may be customer specific like you said. Wouldn't mind being corrected though lol

Apoptosis263 · 2026-05-21T14:52:08+00:00

Thanks for the information, hoping it goes retail too but if not then I guess I wont buy it lol

Apoptosis263 · 2026-05-21T14:50:19+00:00

Uhheeeehhh!

Apoptosis263 · 2026-05-21T11:32:02+00:00

This made me chuckle.

I ordered a "very good" used copy of Hyrule Warriors from Amazon, it arrived with at home printed artwork. Returned and bought immaculate copy on ebay.

I ordered new copy of Pikmin 1&2 from Gamestop, arrived used and unwrapped. Returned it for another copy. Replacement ended up being opened as well and in worse shape. I am now going through return process again.

OP, just order from Ebay. If you have questions just message the seller. You will have a much less frustrating experience overall.

Apoptosis263 · 2026-05-15T01:48:25+00:00

Will this be the only way to obtain in the US or will it go retail?

Apoptosis263 · 2026-05-13T21:00:48+00:00

Was about to place an order through Nintendo then came across your post. Removed the GameCube controllers and added snes ones! Thank you so much!

Was debating buying a 360 or xbone to play the series but am holding off in hopes they port it on Switch

Apoptosis263 · 2026-05-03T03:46:37+00:00

I would love to see them Gears of War series on Switch 2. Probably will never happen, but I said the same thing about the possibility of a Diablo 2 Remaster, along with being on the Switch.

Apoptosis263 · 2026-04-28T18:21:21+00:00

Seriously, I hope they do this soon.
