Kore Gang and Deadly Creatures has been established that are getting hard to find, but i think Castle of Shikigami III, and Rockstar's Table Tennis are also going to be valuable .

Kore Gang and Deadly Creatures have no stickers, were they sealed? If both are pristine, I suspect they were new and sold as used. The list is growing on possible new Wii games that are sold as only used at Gamestop.

I picked up Tounament Of Legends for $2.50 at BookOff. One of the few fighters for the Wii and has a mythology theme which makes it different from the norm. The action is so so, but I think it has a low print run and exclusive to the Wii maybe making it valuable later on?


Wtf gamestop sells new games as used?

I told the guy behind the counter that there are maybe 4-5 copies of Calling available in a 100 mile radius. I also grabbed a whole bunch of other games that I'm just too lazy to list. :lol:

Nice I've been looking for a copy of "Calling"
post pictures of the creepy girl on the swing :D

Edit: sorry I meant the girl with the bear, I was think of Silent Hill for the Wii

This happened to me last week when I picked up Wii Music. I brought a $4.99 used copy to the register, but the employee pulled out a brand new copy from a drawer and rang it up as a used game.

Madworld, Super smash bros: Brawl, and Sonic colors.

I think down the line 10 years from now these games will be worth something, especially if sealed.

Well, used at least, Smash Bros will hold its value and I know this because the first two have despite selling well. Madworld, maybe. Maybe not. Sonic Colors? Seriously doubt it.

I'm not feeling for those either...but I remember passing on multiple $10 copies of Earthbound when I was a teenager <seriously, who would want that game?>...so, you never know...

This is done sometimes so Gamestop doesnt loose money. If the suggested retail price of a game becomes to low, Gamestop will move all of their new copies of the game to their used category so they can set their own price for the game. This usually happens when the retail price goes below $5.

Madworld was/is regularly sold for under $10 new and is one of the worst games I've ever played. I can't imagine people would pony up much for it in the future (sealed or otherwise).

That's a bold statement. I have not spent much time with it, but I thought the art direction was at least interesting.
