James Pond (US GBA): potential rarity

[davidbrit2]

I've got a feeling this one is going to be hard to find. I've only seen it at a particular Best Buy, and the local Meijer, $15 at either of them. And for those that are wondering, it's not a straight port of James Pond II for the Genesis/Amiga. It's got mostly the same structure and themes, but the levels are all new. Plus they increased the speed with which James can shimmy along a ceiling (thank god). Oh, and it's got a password continue feature. So it's definitely a good game to look out for if you liked the original.

I was a big james pond fan, very very fun games.

Gamestop has it as well but at $19.99. The one Best Buy I saw it at had 12 copies come in last week. From the looks of it, none of the other large stores (Target, WalMart, Toys R Us, EB) will be carrying it. I wouldn't be surprised if this was published at the minimum qty Nintendo allows (20K).

If it is anything like the Genisis version its a gret game i'll have to keep an eye out for it.

I've been thinking of picking this one up. I'm gonna grab it at my best buy once it hits around 10. James Pond II is one of my favorite quriky platformers on the genesis.
