    Default Goddamn was Excitebike HARD to find!

    I am a little late hopping on those GBA NES Classic series carts I know, but I decided to try to complete the series recently. Sure, I can play the games on PocketNES, but I just want the complete collection of these carts for collectability. I got 8 of them so far, with Excitebike finally in my collection as of today. I have been looking for the game in every local/semi-local game store & toy store for two weeks now, and finally scored it pre-owned at an EB Games today. Not complete however, just missing the manual. The rest is in mint condition (box, insert, cart), which I am thankful for. At least I found it. WHY is this title so hard to find? I can easily find the rest of the games, but this one was really a challenge...

    A guess: they had it as an eReader game - maybe because *it* didn't sell well nobody ordered any?

    actually no, it sold well because it's a fun game, and at 10 a pop, you can't got wrong with it. Also it's a fun E title wich the kids will enjoy.

    According to the POS at work, it's the only GBA Classic game that has been discontinued so far.

    That's a really mean acronym for a coworker, man.
