I believ EB had an exclusive Gold gba packaged with some pokeomn game (gold?)

I've also seen the TRU Black GBA bundled with Pokemon Crystal.

Here is a copy of the Final Fight Guy that proves it was a blockbuster exclusive:

Plus I have one. The only other SNES game that i have that says blockbuster exclusive is the Clayfighter Tournament game. The Ren & Stimpy Fire Dogs game says (on box) "Rental Exclusive only, Man!", so not necessarily blockbuster.

The others, Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartridge was not a rental but was recalled from blockbuster after the competition and sold after the competition to nintendo power subscribers. Same with Starfox Super Weekend. I have a nintendo power magazine with the form in the back of it to order one of them (I can't remember which one).

Mr. Nutz and Kid Kleets I also have and do not recall seeing any indication on the boxes at all of any rental exclusive or anything, but I will have a look and see if I see anything about it. Most of these copies of these games I have do have rental stickers on them but I have at least one of each of these two that does not have any evidence that it was ever rented.

I own a copy of Clayfighter: Tournament Edition, and where on the box does it say that it is an exclusive, because I have never seen it.

[v1rich]

I could be wrong. I think I might have gotten confused because the "Tournament Edition" on the label looks so much like the "Blockbuster Exclusive" on the Final Fight Guy. I'll check and edit this post when I find out for sure.

i updated the list....let me know if i missed anything or need to and something else

[KirbyStar27]

Mr. Nutz (or is it Nuts?), for the SNES.

Very Nice list , and it is Mr. Nutz

[Qixmaster]

You can also add the Pac-Man VS game for the GC that you would get if you bought either I-Ninja or R: Racing evolution.... I know this to be true, read it in Nintendo Power 176. This version came in a little cd sleeve, not the typical GC case.

Also, you get this game (as well as rouge squadron III demo) if you pre-ordered anything from Gamecrazy.

and yes... lolo 3 was rental exclusive.

The Lucasarts Experience disc was available at other stores as well. My Gamestop got in 2 dozen of them at Christmas, and still have a few of them in the backroom.

[kainemaxwell]

Good going on the list!

[koolkid13]

I can confirm the Lucas Arts Experience not being an exclusive. I got it free from EBgames earlier this year (august maybe).

[Kamino]

are we only talking about actual games here, or would the blockbuster virtual boy hard carry case count for this list?
<hijack>if anyone does have a VB hardcase they'd part with, let me know. </hijack>

[The Manimal]

good thread

i have final fight guy...bought it cart only at a second-hand store...

[tholly]

Just bumping this up to see if anything needs to be added / changed / removed.

[Wavelflack]

What about Mojo (Xbox)?
I thought they had stickers that say "TRU Exclusive"

[koolkid13]

Also what about the Midnight Blue GBA exclusive to TRU?

[Doonzmore]

One of my old issues of Nintendo Power states that Kid Kleets was indeed a rental exclusive, but they listed the name as Soccer Kid.

[Slimedog]

Nobody mentioned the exclusive Pokemon Center titles. Many of these are still available from the website.

Pokemon Box [GCN]
Pokemon Mini System [Purple, Blue or Green]
Pokemon Party Mini [Pack in]
Pokemon Pinball Mini
Pokemon Puzzle Collection
Pokemon Zany Cards

Pokemon Center New York Edition GBA (Gold /art, This version was also sold at EB or Gamestop, but not with Pokemon Gold)

GBA-SP Torchic (Orange w/art)
GBA-SP Kyorge (Blue w/art)
GBA-SP Err... red guy from Ruby (Red w/art)

If anybody gives a fart, I wrote a faq on the Pokemon Mini but its not posted online since Gamefaq changed formats and delisted it. PM me if you want a copy.

Also, can somebody confirm if the Blockbuster Transformers came with a manual? I've seen 4 boxed copies and none of them have a manual.

Finally, I was under the impression that Swordquest Waterworld was a mail order only. However, I'm not really and Atari expert.

[kevincure]

Kartia had a BB version that is slightly different (a prerelease). Dangerboy's game-rave.com has info on it.

[Blitzwing256]

pokemon channel + pokemon mini is a current tru/amazon exclusive (for 7$)

also wasn't swordquest waterworld a mail order game only?

beast wars transmetals n64 was eventually released in regular stores without the bb exclusive label (I only ever saw it once new at a babbages)

I have the final fight guy complete with manaul if anyone wants a scan of it or the manual (it is differnt then the normal us final fight manual)


oh and yay my first post ;-)
