That's why Mario Galaxy 1 was still $50 when Mario Galaxy 2 came out, at least until it was put in the Nintendo Selects label.

Is the Shantae GBC game still worth playing in the year of our Lord 2013 or should I just buy Risky's Revenge?

RichterIX posted:Is the Shantae GBC game still worth playing in the year of our Lord 2013 or should I just buy Risky's Revenge? It's pretty solid overall. The enemies kind of take a lot of hits to kill, and the bosses are all pushovers, but it's a fun way to spend 7-10 hours. It's not worth $2,000 USD, but it's definitely worth $5. Risky's Revenge is faster and handles A LOT better, but it's significantly shorter and poses few real challenges throughout the game.

How common are sales/price drops on full retail games on the eshop (in NA/Canada)? I've got that $30 credit that I'm really tempted to put on Art Academy, but I'm always worried about getting something right before it gets a discount. It does look like most of the games that have had sales are the eshop-exclusive titles though.

I would probably say that permanent price drops on retail games wouldn't happen just because the brick and mortar dealers wouldn't like it.

First-party retail downloads very rarely go on sale, and I don't think there's ever been a permanent price drop for any first-party eShop game. Art Academy is something you could probably find for much less at retail.

Art Academy is exactly the kind of title that I want a digital copy of though, and it's actually on the eshop unlike Nintendogs, Theatrhythm, Rhythm Thief, etc. Availability is probably going to kill this strategy, but I'd like to stick to getting physical copies of RPGs and other games I'd play one at a time (especially if they have limited edition stuff like SMTIV), and digital for all of the games I'd play in short bursts. I guess if I'm already going to be paying a small premium on digital titles though, I might as well not hesitate because of something so unlikely. If I cared that much, then like you say, I should just get a physical copy.

I've only seen three retail titles go on sale - Soul Hackers, RE: Revelations, and currently Code of Princess.

They're much more likely to do discounts than the eShop, but you have to buy the codes with real money (or coupons or whatever) so your $30 eShop credit won't be any good.

In Europe Virtue's Last Reward got a permanent price cut, and older games tend to have a lower price when they're first put onto the eShop. Hence Bit.Trip Saga for £18.

Sonic Triple Trouble is probably the best one there, but I'd recommend you look at them solely from a historical perspective because dear lord they have not aged well.* *Sunset Park Act 3 in Triple Trouble notwithstanding, thanks to its great audio track.

Buying a copy of Sonic Adventure DX for like ten bucks used (for the GC, the 360/PC versions don't have them) and playing through enough of the game to unlock a couple of Game Gear games to satiate your curiosity.

They tried to use too big a sprite so you can barely see poo poo coming up ahead. If you are dead set on a Game Gear Sonic though Triple Trouble is probably the "best".

Aside from being the best Game Gear Sonic game, Triple Trouble is also a really good game by itself.

^^Check the post before the press release. From the sounds of things the Hatena servers were hammered during the JP launch, so they've delayed the international release so they can prepare for the increase in traffic.
