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.
Wasn't it just last week that tons of naive people were upvoting Super Mario RPG at $35? That was foolish. This is a great deal. I'd be in if I hadn't picked it up for $20 last year.
Yes, they were so naive not to know the game would be $20 less a week later.

Only order online from Gamestop if you're completely fine with the 50/50 chance you'll get a garbage case.
Still have no idea how Gamestop is still getting away with selling used/damaged games as New online. I'd gotten burned at least three times on completely separate orders spread out years apart from each other, all either opened and damaged cases and discs/cartridges, or sent in the generic Gamestop cases. Never again. These prices are great if you want JUST the game and are fine with gambling whether or not you'll actually receive a "new" copy. If you want these for your kids or somebody you know who doesn't care at all for the case, go for it.
I was about to buy that game until I saw this comment. Thanks.
If someone thinks Brothership is the worst game have they have EVER played, they haven't played a lot of games.
Is it an all time classic? No. Does it have plenty of flaws? Yes. Is it generally charming and well made and something that younger kids or fans of the Paper Mario style games are likely to enjoy? Also yes.
It is very far from being one of the worst games ever. No, it is that much more evil and hateful thing: it is average. But of course it's much more fun to speak in absolutes, extremes, and treat everything like it's either the best or worst of all time.

The GameStop website was a little unreliable, when it came to stock.
Searching for Super Mario RPG originally showed my local stores before opening hours, only to switch to 30+ miles locations after opening.
Luckily, there's a GameStop close to me that I was able to check out, and they had some new copies. So if it's not too much of a hassle, just try going in person before potential scalpers clean up.

Brothership stinks, though.
