What's the lowest price you've ever seen Other M sold at?

I wonder how many people who bought the game were new to the series.

Maybe they'll try the New Super Mario Bros. approach next time.

I don't know where you guys have all been finding these, but I work at Toys R Us, and we still sell for $49.99, and Wal Mart is selling for $49.96.

No price drop here.

By 'NSMB approach' I meant something that throws any kind of narrative out the window so it could focus 100% on intuitive gameplay, but ok.

Though that would probably fail too. You can't appeal to nostalgia with Metroid.

If you had to try to get Metroid into the mainstream, how would you do it?

The GameStops I've seen have been selling copies of Other M for dirt-cheap. Most first-party Nintendo games never drop below $25 at the cheapest, yet GS sells Other M for less than ten bucks.

I always see it for 10-20 dollars.

by **okey** » 05.16.12 12:31pm

It's $8 at Best Buy right now.

Still a little bit to go before it tops the king:

Wow. I'm not sure if that price for DNF is absolutely hilarious or down right sad. Maybe both?

Other M definietly won't go that low, I think. Yeah, it was flawed in various ways but it wasn't terrible. Though the fact that people have commented that it has sunk to $5 is pretty disheartening, to say the least :'(

Duke has balls of whatever steel can be bought for $2.99.

Samus will never be able to touch that.

LMFAO at Duke Nukem Forever.

by **HYRUL3** » 05.17.12 7:00pm

I've mentioned that I work at Toys R Us before, but we just marked the price down to $29.98.

No wonder the competition is killing us...

Several Other M owners here offered to give them away for free. They are still looking for takers.

As a fan of Metroid, I feel duty-bound to hold on to my copy. But it's a copy collecting cobwebs.

As James Rolfe put it, "Satan wouldn't accept this game if you offered it to him with your soul."

I feel the same way. I will probably never replay OM but I don't want to sell it.

Riddle me that...
