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.
I was about to buy that game until I saw this comment. Thanks.
I bought it for around $50 for my son (7), and he loved it. I played through about 40% of it, but I'd consider it a good game. Easily worth $15. It's far from the best RPG I've played, but it has quite a bit of charm and is a decent lightweight RPG to enjoy.
Mario RPG showed up sealed, Marvel vs Capcom did not. Pretty annoyed to have paid for shipping and also missed out on the matching $15 price on Amazon.

GameStop Pro stacking can reduce the effective per-game cost when buying multiple new games together.
Local inventory can sometimes be better in person than the website suggests, including finding multiple copies near opening.
In-store pickup can let you verify condition immediately and refuse the order if it is not new.
Some shoppers report receiving sealed copies for at least certain titles when buying through the deal.
Orders marked as new can arrive gutted or with incorrect cases, and returns or exchanges can be difficult.
Pickup and online orders can be canceled after ordering, including cancellations that also break coupon reuse.
Online fulfillment can involve drop-shipping from random stores, which can increase condition and packaging variability.
Shipping and delivery can add unexpected costs and delays, including postage due and late arrival.
