Hastings deals on N64, plus Q about Shenmue 2 (Xbox)

[Wavelflack]

Hastings is finally clearing out their N64 section now. I cleaned out my local store. Mario Tennis, Paper Mario, Mario Party 3, Snowboard Kids 2, Bust a Move 99 + more= $5 each. Rush 2049, SF Rush 2, Pilotwings, Chameleon Twist 2 + more =$2.99 each.


Go clean 'em out!


Also, do you suppose Shenmue 2 (Xbox) will ever be worth anything? I'm just curious, as Hastings has a brand new copy in their clearance section for $5.99.

I've never really gotten into Shenmue 1 or 2 (I tried!) on DC, so I wouldn't get any play value out of it.

What do you think?

I've never even heard of Hastings. :( Those are pretty sweet prices; I wish I could get prices like that around here.

Too bad my Hastins went under a year ago. Oh wel, I did pick up 30 or so CDs I wanted for about $7 a pop. And a bunch of books to boot. Maybe if they actually had reasonable prices in the first place they would have survived.

do they have a website or a list of locations. I am in NJ ,and I have family in CT, TX and friends in Nashville. I would love to get my hands on a handful of these titles.

well there is one in Nashville. I have a friend who can check them out for me. thanks

[Wavelflack]

They also have a chain of sister stores (same look, same font, different name), but I'll be damned if I can remember what it's called.


Oh yeah, the boxes were actually in decent shape too. Some with manuals!

[Wavelflack]

Just remembered the name. It's "Carrolls". Same store.

[Wavelflack]

So what do you guys think about Shenmue 2? Deal at $6, or a waste?

[dsullo]

Shenmue 2 for that price seems goof to me. I loved both Shenmue titles.

Are these games at Hastings New or Used? I assumed it was a retail store and they were new

[Achika]

Deal if you're going to play it, waste if you're going to resell it.

Atleast around here, many stores still have new copies going for $15-20. And right around that price range on eBay.

There's a Hastings right next to my house. I know they rent games, so these might be used. I also know that like with CD's, they take trade ins (bring in your used CD's for credit) so they might also be other people's games.

[Wavelflack]

Oh yeah. They are used. Good shape, but used.

The other games ($10 Xbox and GC games, etc.) are often used but not always. I grabbed a new Crazy Taxi 3 and new Gauntlet Dark legacy for $10 each there.

Lots o' good stuff.

[kainemaxwell]

No Hastings near me though. :(

My Hastings got rid of the N64 games about a year ago, and unlike the NES and SNES games, they sent them to another store, instead of letting me buy them. :angry:

They do have a couple of new N64 games behind the glass case though... I wonder if they ever marked those down...

[blissfulnoise]

My Hastings was only clearing out their former rentals for cheap. They all have the box, but no book, and they are all in pretty bad shape. But I got Tetrisphere, Space Station Silicone Valey, and Dark Rift for 2.99 w/ box. (also bought Castlevania: SOTN non greatest hits for 9.99 and it's in excellent shape!).

It's not bad for new PSX games either; I have picked up a sealed Um Jammer Lammy for 5.99 & a sealed Wild Arms 2 for 19.99 with their clearance. I know a store that still has Arc the Lad, but it was last marked at 59.99. I need to go back to see if it's dropped in price yet.

Let me take this opportunity to further pimp Hastings 4 for 1 game trade in deal. It's pure gold.
