Is that the game where you use the camera on the 3DS to take photos of your gaf and it shows if your house is haunted or not? I forget the name of the 'game' now... is it that one?

No. Devil Survivor unironically rocks.

The publisher never takes a hit on the games the store has already bought.
"Opportunity cost" (I am learning knowledge similar in uni, too

)

Hmm, read on eurogamer that the publisher takes a hit. Will have to look it up again

Edit: Kind of doesn't make much snese though, and can't find anything on eurogamer. Maybe it was on a forum.

Hmm I wonder what game I'm thinking of then? Odd. It was definitely for 3DS...

paperwork · 11-10-2011, 00:28

Are you sure? I think I could be a Kinect game.

Nope. Definitely 3DS. Japan only though as far as I know.

Since I'd probably end up turning the 3d off, I'm happy enough playing my DS version of Devil Survivor on my DS/3DS. Fantastic game

On the subject of the RAGE, they're not forcing you to buy Zelda for 50e or anything, and I tend to find something I want for a reasonable price almost every time I go in. I'm developing a soft spot for 3D games too, for at least trying to bring in some unusual titles, and not just the chart titles like other retailers. Plus they had a decent selection of GBA titles if you ask at the counter, at least they did until I bought up a bunch recently

While on the subject, there's a retro games store in florida that I went to a couple of years ago, and still follow them on facebook. They're currently selling a boxed run-of-the-mill NES for $500. Best of luck to them.

is it a 001 ?

I'm going to support rage with my custiom as much as I can , but I've noticed the average price creeping up by a euro or two.The average SMS game is about 7 now , where as it used to be five.I'll always try and pick something up there rather than ebay though.

keithgeo · 11-10-2011, 12:40

Their prices are definitaly higher than ebay without a doubt, I bought two boxed nes games last week for 20 quid in there, and they were not hard to find games either. on ebay at the weekend i won 4 auctions from the same guy and ended up with 11 CIB nes games for 54 euro including delivery and one of them is Rainbow islands. You wouldnt get that in Rage!

If it is I imagine they would have mentioned it!

I'll miss it, 3D games that is. For all their overcharging, you'd get the odd very good bargain, as they'd have no
idea what they're selling, bit like The Rage.

**Retr0gamer** · 11-10-2011, 15:49

I picked up Kim Possible, What's the Switch? there for dirt cheap. Had given up trying to find it. It's a fantastic game that's better than it has any right to be so I guess I thank 3D game for that.

Mr.Saturn · 11-10-2011, 15:53

They were selling GEN 3 Pokemon games for a 13ish, I recall. That's nice, most places have long since bumped them up to around 20ish/30ish, as an odd mix of the standard Nintendo premium and a sort 'yay, it's not fake' tax. The RAGE had loads recently, at a similar price, 'til Atavan off here pointed out that they were all fake, I seem to vaguely recall.
