..This happens to me way too much. I never have any money so I have to TRADE IN my games in order to afford new ones....

And it really sucks cuz the other night I wanted to play Luigi's Mansion SO. BADLY.

...Turns out I sold it.

I've been craving Mario Galaxy too....and I sold that as well. =/

HOW STUPID AM I???

I'm probably going to buy them both back once I get money...and maybe sunshine too since I never actually owned it.

I'm always trading in games once I beat them with a few exceptions (namely, games with lots of replay value, like the MGSs and GTAs), but I miss quite a few games.

Besides duplicates and direct ports, the only games I ever remember trading in are a handful of outdated Pac-Man/Namco Museum games, and Donkey Kong Land.  No regrets there.  Shoot, I still have an old copy of G&WG3!

I personally prefer the oldies to most new games. (With obvious expections such as SSBM and SSBB)  I'd be pretty dang mad if I ever lost my SMBDX cartridge, considering the countless hours that went into my roughly 2,000,000-point challenge mode score.

I've mentioned this before, I believe, but I sold a whole shoebox worth of NES games a while back for, like, $30. Among them: Metal Gear.

My nanny bought me and my brother a SNES for xmas one year and a few years later my mom sold it at a garage sale for $5 with one controller and Super Mario World.

I wish I still had Super Princess Peach. Sure she was weak, sure the game was realativley easy, but it was fun, and a good game to play in between games.

I also wish I still had the Gamecube version of Pac-Man World Rally. I haven't seen a GC version since I got rid of the one that I owned. It was also a lot of fun, and a good Mario Kart clone.

Tengen Tetris!

I also traded in Katamari when the new version came out and then bought the original new a few months later. 

I accidently sold my only copy of SMAS+SMW at a garage sale last year.  I was getting rid of duplicate copies of SMAS and didn't realize on of them was +SMW.

I gave Excite Truck to my father-in-law about a month ago assuming I could buy another copy, but had no such luck.

I don't see how anyone benefits from trading in games. Those video game chains give you like 15 bucks at most for your used games and then sell the game just 5 dollars below the suggested retail price, not to mention they keep the actual disc inside a file instead. Gross.

That's why I've never given any game stor ethe pleasure of buying my games. I prefer to sell them myself, though that happens rarely. I end up losing a lot of them too due to my inability to keep them locked up when the kids decide they'd marathon a lot of games and leave them lying around when they're not using them.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

That is one thing I like about the disc generation of games: Any save file that you have created is yours to keep, unless you decide to erase it. Pity that only works on memory card/SD card files..
