boblabontefan Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I am new to purchasing video games. I have 3 nieces/nephew that each have their own Nintendo DS systems and I am looking for good deals on games. I saw the b1g1 deal on the KB Toy flyer, but I don't have a KB Toy near me. What would be considered good pricing on these games (I don't need new releases)? What store is the best place to look for sales on these games?

conj Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 what games do they want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boblabontefan Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Honestly I don't know. There are two girls ages 8 and 12 and one boy age 10. I was thinking of the Lionel Train for the boy... but beyond that I am lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boblabontefan Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Thanks Mikesgirl, The 12 yr old is into High School Musical so that would be great. I know they already have nintendogs... has anyone tried Brainage? Would that be appropriate for kids this age? Would it be something they would want?

boblabontefan Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Build a bear would be great for the 8 yr old! Thanks for the ideas. So how do I get my hands on these games for a great price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikesgirl Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 well most are around $30 or check BF ads.. but this week at TRU if you spend $40 on hannah montana or high school musical stuff DS games included you get a $10 gift card.. personally i would just buy the games if i found them i think ds games are going to be a big seller this year... they havent been recalled to my knowledge yet!!!

jazzy442 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Thats probably the only thing that won`t get recalled. I`m hoping Toys R Us will do the buy2get1 free again on the DS games so I can stock up for my kids. When is this Build a bear game coming out? Thanks.

boblabontefan Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Ohhh TRU did the buy 2 get 1 free last year..... I am hoping for that too. When will we see the TRU ad posted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they just had that buy2get1 deal a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately I didn`t have the money then to take advantage of it. Hopefully they will do it again soon. Hopefully the Toys R Us ad will be out really soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jade#1 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 my girls love animal crossing (34.99) and nintendogs (29.99) my boy likes the Naruto game(29.99) and yoshis island (29.99) also with the ds you can get gameboy games so you have a wide variety of games to choose ranging from the cheapest 14.99 to 34.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boblabontefan Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 What about the Hanna Montana game that is on sale at TRU on BF? Is that a good game? Can't beat the price - $9.99 It doesn't look like TRU will be doing the buy 2 get 1 deal - just has assorted DS games at $9.99. Is there a difference between buying games for DS and DS Lite?

sbaldasare Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 My boys are 8 and 11. They love their Pokemon Pearl and Pokemon Diamond, Star Wars Lego and Transformer games. There is a new Complete Star Wars coming out. Other new games on their list Christmas include Star Fox, Drawn to Life and My Sims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boblabontefan Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Nice photo sbaldasare... was that taken at a race? Did you get to meet Robbie? :) Thanks for the info on what games are popular. Did you get a chance to check out the TRU ad? Did you see any games there for $9.99 that your sons have and like?

Actually the picture was taken in front of the NASCAR Cafe in Myrtle Beach this past summer. I checked out the TRU ad. They would probably like the Asphalt 2 - racing game - the best.

boblabontefan Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 I was looking at the Herbie game for my nephew. I am assuming it is like other racing games and I know he has seen the movie. The Asphalt 2 games sounds interesting and it gives me another choice in case Herbie is gone.

princez916 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Mario Kart is a fun DS game. When buying games, check and see if they have WiFi. If it does, then all of them can play together with one game. That's the nice thing about the DS, gives more bang for the buck! My dd12 got her DS (mario kart bundle) last year, i think, and her and her brothers can all play the game because they can download it from her DS and they are race against each other. Ebay and Gamestop sales are good places to get games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boblabontefan Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Thanks Princez916! That is a great idea. Do you know if any of the games at TRU for $9.99 are WiFi? I would suspect that they arent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
