Title: Electroplankton
Post by: Macawmoses on December 15, 2008, 07:31:12 PM
Title I've played before - but I just got a copy off eBay!

Fun fun fun. It's original, it's lighthearted, and generally awesome. I believe it was a Nintendo bonus that was limited time, but I'm not sure. Couldn't find it in stores, though.

Have you played it? Do you own it? Does it interest you?

I was interested in it until I realized that retailers didn't carry the game.

I bought it from Nintendo when it first came out.  It's such a beautiful game to relax with for an hour or two if you need to cool down.  It's just that it makes you want more.  It would be nice if it had more than 10 electroplankton to play with, but whatever, it's great for what it is.

Is it still a rare item?

It wasn't really rare in that it was limited edition.  It was rare because it was only sold by Nintendo, meaning you must order it or get it at Nintendo World or whatever their store is called (and with NYC having the only one in America, not too many people got it).  I once saw one used at a GameStop in my town; wasn't really intent on buying it, but still, just seeing it made me all "ZOMGZ ELEKTROPLANKTIN!!!1!"  The price of that used GameStop copy?  $60.  Not worth it in my opinion.

Gamestop sucks.

Giving you less than a dollar store credit for a game they turn around and sell for fifteen bucks +. What a scam.

You got it off eBay?!

How much did you pay?

I was searching for a copy around Brawl's release and everywhere I looked, it was over $100.
