Okay I am for sure getting Castlevania. But I have enough stuff to trade in at EB to get two more games. First let me state the Mario Advance is not an option. I have played Mario 2 and the original Mario Bros and didn't like either enough to buy them again.

First off I want a racing game. GT Advance and F-Zero are the two top choices. I just can't decide. So if anyone has an opinion on those two I would appreciate it.

Second, well I don't know. There are so many to choose from. If anyone could suggest a third game to get I would appreciate it. I have thought about getting Tony Hawk 2, but am still undecided. I was pretty burned out by playing the PSX version so much.

Thanks in advance for any advance help.

I say Tony Hawk 2... and Rayman.

So how does this EB trade in deal work?

According to the ad in EGM you trade in any 4 GB games (no boxes or instructions required) and you can get any 1 GBA game you want. I have 12 old GB games I don't want, so I am planning on trading them in for 3 GBA games. Anyone have an opinion of Dodgeball Advance. I never played the old Dodgeball game.

Gallant Pig

I"ll have to go talk to EB about that, cuz there's a used video game place near me where I could pick up some really old GB games dirt cheap.

according to EGM you should get

Castlevania
Tony Hawk 2
Mario Advance

Also, you can trade in any 3 games, and get either of the new Zelda games. Granted there not GBA, but still great games! I plan on getting Mario Advance and Zelda with the trade-in deal.

The Dodgeball game is classic. I've played a bit of it and it's really good.

Tony Hawk 2!!!!!!!
dodgeball if you like that kind of game, and GT Advance over F-Zero (though I would get Konami racers if it's out).

darkside

Already did that one. Someone here posted it and I jumped on it.

Thanks for the feedback. From what I am reading and hearing GT Advance is the racing game to get. Now I just have to decide between Tony Hawk 2 and Dodgeball. I guess I could get four games at the launch.

Does anyone know here I can find out more about this deal? I can't seem to find anything at EB's website.

Gizmo

There isnt much to find out.

There is a small ad card in this months Electronic Gaming Monthly. It has all the details. You may want to pick up the mag and take the card in. When I tried to trade in 6 games for the two Zelda games the store employees said they had never heard of it. Finally after requesting they call their district manager they discovered their instructions for handling the trade in and gave me my two free Zelda games. Between not wanting to honor their ads and basically screwing people big time on the GBA bundles I don't plan on actually buying games from them anymore. My GBA is coming from Target for $89.99.

Thank ya. Is that Target deal a pre-order?

darkside

I preordered it, but from what I can tell both Walmart and Target will have an everyday price of $89.99 for the GBA.
