Everywhere I go, used games are 99% old sports games. Hmm, I wonder why...
I experienced that too. Makes me wonder what the resell value of sports games are (who wants to play a football or baseball game with an outdated roster? I guess players could create their own roster, but still...). I have a hard enough time remembering the differences between the 12 or so Final Fantasy titles, I don't know how anyone could look at "Madden (insert year here)" and know off the top of their head what was good or bad about it unless they played it a lot. Worse, the box art tends to look similar (even across sports - thanks a lot, EA, now I can't tell sports games apart from a far distance). What's the difference between Madden NFL 2002 and 2003? I don't know.
I forget what game store I was at recently (I think it was called GameCrazy), but it reminded me why used game stores rock so much: vintage games, consoles, and peripherals. Behind a glass case were a couple shelves of NES, SNES, and N64 games all neatly laid out. As I glanced through it and saw several timeless games, I was reminded how special these little cartridges were. Reminded me back when Half-Price Books inexplicably sold NES games.
And to the person who asked what the point of Falco was in Melee (that was in this thread, right?), I used Falco because he was a faster, more nimble version of Fox. I do like nimble characters. Falco also just looks better than Fox. I hate Falco in Brawl though (least of the reasons being that he's slower), particularly for that straight-up attack. I remember thinking Luigi in Super Smash Bros. was useless for his Up + B going straight up rather than at an angle, which makes it very difficult to use that move to get back on stage (in my experience). Well, I thought the same of Falco.
