I could buy another Gamecube for less. But I can't find that game anywhere. I got the first one for like $7 and really liked it but $48 for a Gamecube game? Jeez...

Is it worth it? Anyone actually have it?

Pretty sure gamestop is cheaper. And it's about the same.

Save 18 bucks but you only get the disk.

Gamestop has it for $35 but I don't know if it comes with the case and manual. I'm kinda OCD like that :D

Thanks for the site! I've never heard of it before but it looks pretty cool. I would want the complete game though with the case and everything.

I would wait on this one. New Play Control Pikmin 2 came out on the Wii in all other regions but here. I think if Pikmin 3 comes out you'll see New Play Control Pikmin 2 come out for less money than that.

Try eBay I guess. They re-released it for Wii, but only in EU and JP lands.

Well, in my personal opinion, it was originally sold at a higher price. Although it is used, there is a reason why it has held its value. Although I have actually never played the second Pikmin, I thought the first one was a cool if not anof the wall game. With that being said though, at least it had a lot of originality... something you don't find a whole lot of these days. So, I guess the question comes down to whether or not there is a new game out for a current gen system you might want more... if the answer is no, then you are spending no more then buying a new game... probably in most cases even less. I know that through my collecting there have been games that I wanted that held their value, there are even a few games I have gotten that were more expensive to buy used years later then they were when they firstl released. So long story short, I guess my answer is, if you want the game, and ifthat is the going price, then yes, I would say it is worth it!

Oh my no. I'd say 10 bucks at the most. Veeeeeeeery maybe 15, as it's a collector's item and hard to find, but that's on you.

Definately, Pikmin 2 was my second favorite GC game behind Windwaker. The story was awesome and you can get a buddy and have a blast on the two player mode, my friends and I would play it for hours. If you liked the first one this one pretty much improved on everything in that game.

I guess I'll lurk ebay until a cheap one pops up. In the mean time, I just bought F-Zero GX for $7. WOOT!

The ones near me don't have it at all. in fact, they've got very few Gamecube games at all.

On the Gamestop website it's listed at $35 but I caved and grabbed one from ebay for $38 :P and now my Gamecube collection is complete!

Glyde is actually a really good site for buying games. I've bought rare gamecube games for dirt cheap on that site. I definitely recommend it.

i bought my pikmin 2 from a movie gallery game zone before MG went bankrupt for $3.99. came complete. would i say it was worth $50? well that's hard to say because it actually IS worth $50... that's what people charge for it. it's kinda rare,and it is actually a cool game. it doesn't have the evil time frame that the first one did, and it's 2-player. i'd say, no though, cause you can get it for the wii for significantly less money. if you don't own a wii and you can spare the money, go for it. you'll enjoy it.

It's a fantastic game, but for 48? I wouldn't pay that much for it. You can most likely find it for cheaper on Ebay or somewhere. I still have my copy in pristine condition :D
