Some new Gamecube Player's Choice titles!

I got a newsletter from Nintendo today stating that Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Pikmin 2, Star Fox: Assault and The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures are now part of the illustrious $20 club. Paper Mario 2 is one of the best RPGs I've played this generation and Zelda: Four Swords is the single best multi-player experience ever (if you meet the high requirements of course). I'm not familiar with Pikmin but my girlfriend is a Star Fox fiend and she has noted several times that Assault was more than enough to make up for Adventures.

I'd recommend Pikmin 2. Very addicting.

I've been waiting forever for Pikmin 2 to drop. Unfortunately I broke down and bought it used for $30 a couple weeks ago

Thanks to speedy, I found that Circuit City will have them (possibly not Pikmin 2) for 14.99 next week:

Sweet. I just unloaded Pikmin 2 last week for close to $40. The player choice thing would have totally killed that.

Awesome. Next time Gamestop or Gamerush has a B2G1F sale on used titles, I'll be looking to pick up 3 of these. Not sure which 3 yet...

I think it's the same as Smash Bros. Melee.. price dropped to $30 just not under a banner.

I plan to definitely pick up Pikmin 2. I've been waiting for it to drop in price. I'll most-likely also get Paper Mario: TTYD.

Paper Mario 2 is one of the best RPG's I've ever played last year. Pikmin 2 is also a lot of fun!

Thanks for news, though just got Paper Mario 2 for $10 at CC. I guess really must have been a special!

May have to give Starfox a try. Pikmin 2 is great, well worth picking up.

Pikmin 2 was my favorite effort from Nintendo on the Cube.

I heard that four swords is actually a fun single player game.

I bought Starfox assault and so far it's Meh. Pikmin 2 is much better. These games will be $15 at circuit city starting Sunday.
