I just got a Wii for Christmas and was trying to find a copy of Rayman Raving Rabbids... did it get recalled or something or is it just that popular? I can't find it anywhere... not even a used copy. Just wondering. Thanks.

I thought hurricane bullseye would have been clear enough. Florida, been to Jacksonville, Orlando and Lakeland and they all had it. The problem though is that it is marked on the endcap at $30 so of course getting people to ring it up for $10 is iffy.

Fair enough, it applied more a few years ago whenever I got hit by three hurricanes within three months.

The problem is that it is at an endcap where the price of the game is clearly marked so it may be difficult to get a cheap price. I have seen ghost squad at the target in orange park and the new one at argyle forest. It was a couple weeks ago though. Where did you pick up prince of persia and metal slug. I haven't seen those games at all in town let alone for $7.

Ok, I'm still new to the Wii. What Virtual Console games are worth it? Does Tecmo Bowl still have the "real" players in it or are they replaced with new people since there is no NFL license.
I have 2000 points, and not sure what to buy.

I guess I'm a fan of most genres...except RPG. I love sports games....Mario is always good. I was tempted to get SMB3, Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Blades of Steel, Excitebike, Tecmo Bowl....I guess there are a lot of games.
