Curious to see if any of these deals actually happen. Especially the Nintendo games like Super Mario RPG. They do not like making their games affordable anymore.
I miss Nintendo Select, Player's Choice, and the like.
This GameStop sale is strongest for Mario and Luigi: Brothership, Super Mario RPG, and Suikoden, with several pickups landing at $15 or less and some Pro stacks cutting the total further. The prices look especially good for Nintendo titles and for games that have held closer to $20 to $35 elsewhere. The main catch is inventory and fulfillment, since many listings are out of stock, pickup orders get canceled, and online orders can arrive open, gutted, or in generic cases instead of sealed. It is a sharp deal if local stock is available and condition matters less than price.
Players wanting a cheap single-player RPG, because Brothership is charming, lightweight, and worth $15 for kids or Paper Mario-style fans.
Availability is highly local: some stores had multiple copies on shelves even when the website showed out of stock, while other shoppers found nothing within 100 miles or no ship-to-home option. Checking in person can reveal stock the site misses.
Some copies arrive sealed, but others arrive open-box, gutted, or in generic black cases even when ordered as new. In-store pickup gives you a chance to inspect and refuse a copy that isn't sealed, while online orders can be a gamble on condition.
Yes, the $10 off 2 new games Pro promo can stack in store, and some shoppers also used a $5 monthly reward on top. That brought two new games down to about $15 total or roughly $16.xx out the door depending on tax.
At $15, Brothership is widely treated as a strong buy for Nintendo fans, especially if you want a charming, lightweight RPG. A practical caveat is that it is single-player, and some buyers dislike it or think it is only average.
The $13.99 listings are pre-owned copies, while $15 is the new-copy price. Some pages also show different prices depending on how you reach the listing, so the site can be inconsistent.
Mario and Luigi Brothership is one of the worst games I've ever played. Great deal on Super Mario RPG though.
for some reasons they sold all 7 brothership that they had inhand since this morning. for online orders.
and for some other reasons. my account is a pro account since 2023. was there a deal back then that i signed up and paid for and forgot to cancel it?
Went in to pick up my order. They gave me two black cases not sealed original cases. Asked them I ordered new not used! They told me it's new game but just don't have the cases since people steals the prints all the time and decided to do different way to sell new games? I wonder if I got fooled. I haven't ordered games from game stop for a while and I don't understand why they changes so much.
Sure enough, one of my new Mario games was open box. They told me at pickup. Condition was great, and for the price not bad. But it's bizarre that a publicly traded company would do that.
If I order for shipping, does GameStop ship opened games or without box in paper sleeve as "new" condition?
You won't know ahead of time, but yes, they absolutely ship used games as "new". I stopped buying online from them when I received games in generic boxes (no artwork or original cases) even though I paid for and ordered new games.
GameStop being GameStop, I ordered multiple of each game I wanted online for delivery. Hopefully I get actual new copies. I'll return any that look like they have been run over a car.
I can't remember the last time I ordered a new game at GameStop and didn't either get a gutted copy, just a disc/cartridge, and/or have at least one be missing entirely. People say never to preorder games but I really miss the days of having my account loaded up with preorders and popping into the store on launch day to pick it up. That was magical and fun.
As someone who owns but has yet to get around to Brothership, every time I see a deal that includes it, I have to brace myself for the bit of buyer's remorse I know I'm about to experience based on the inevitable negative comments I know I'm about to read!
