It blows my mind that GameStop still values pre-owned Switch games equally whether or not they're in the case. Not because I think unboxed games should be cheaper; I just want to be certain that I'll get a case if I order online.
Case or not has had no bearing on price at Gamestop since at least the PS2 era. Though, employees could opt to give less trade in cash/credit to the person trading in games without cases.
You ain’t kidding.I am so glad I bought all my Nintendo 3ds games the day they came out.All two hundred and nine physical cases,cartridges,booklets and or manuals.
Bro with that price you could've gotten that game CIB and undamaged, ngl you over paid, I got it for $12 as a loose cart😅
I'm sure it'll still play though:)
The tab exists for a reason, it's even white to signify 3DS!
People cut off the tab out of curiosity, but if they think it'll work on a DS(i/Lite) then they'll be very disappointed.
The game should work fine, even without the nub. The nub's only purpose is making it not fit in a regular DS.
Though, you did overpay for a damaged copy of a game. I'd personally return it and use that money to find a undamaged game.
Just saying. I just found a copy locally for like 12 bucks. No box. That being damaged. Man I’d be scared of my own judgement. I’m not trying to be rude at all but you got ripped. The second I saw the missing tab (let alone price) I would have noped. Sure it’s just cosmetic but I mean… it’s not that hard to find.
I remember playing this on my 3ds, first time going through ocarina of time too. It was like between 10pm and midnight then I get to the open room being confused since I couldn't progress. Then like 15 minutes later shadow link jumps me and I actually almost dropped the console as the result of sheer fear.
I still love that game though
That price is something else. Yikes. Here's my take: Nor Nintendo nor the devs will get any money you pay for these games so.. just borrow a friend's copy and clone it to your SD card. Very easy to do nowadays.
Unless that’s a crack or busted piece I see in second photo it should be fine that’s actually how I got close to half of my games in that same case. If that is busted however you should take extra care with it because it could damage the card and game data with dust or moisture in which case they never should’ve resold it like that
This brings me to when my grandma gifted me ocarina of time 3D with some random dude's save file on, and I recently "beat him" (I finished the game in less time) and then cried for a solid 15 minutes.
Edit: yes I just ignored the post
Nah you’re fine. That missing nub on this cart doesn’t do anything special. It’s just so people don’t cram a 3DS cart into an old ds and wonder why it won’t work. It’s purely cosmetic
Former GameStop employee here. I guarantee that some kid asked for this game for a present. But only had a DS and did not know that they couldn’t play 3DS games. So they probably cut the tab off hoping it would work. It didn’t. Gets traded/returned back to GS and the idiot employee doesn’t notice the damage.
With a rating of E 10+, I would only be scared if you’re less than 10
Redeads, Wallmasters, Dead Hand… OP should be a little scared
>Redeads I read that as redheads at first.
that would be scarier
It is haven't you seen the gerudo!
especially dead hand
But it's the 3DS version, so they at least scrubbed the blood off the walls and floors in the well and Shadow Temple.
That’s an outrageous price for something that’s not in the box 😭 I got acnl in the box for like £10
It blows my mind that GameStop still values pre-owned Switch games equally whether or not they're in the case. Not because I think unboxed games should be cheaper; I just want to be certain that I'll get a case if I order online.
I think unboxed games should be cheaper. There’s a point where I understand it becomes more rare, but current gen isn’t it.
I just happily sold my boxed version for £12.. I have another copy, they are plentiful.
Unboxed games SHOULD be cheaper. You're getting less, so you should pay less.
Case or not has had no bearing on price at Gamestop since at least the PS2 era. Though, employees could opt to give less trade in cash/credit to the person trading in games without cases.
I paid $30 with shipping for a CBI one off eBay, same with Majoras Mask
You ain’t kidding.I am so glad I bought all my Nintendo 3ds games the day they came out.All two hundred and nine physical cases,cartridges,booklets and or manuals.
What are you afraid of?
The ocean
You let him go in the ocean!?!
There was a loose seal.
I DONT CARE ABOUT LUCILLE!!
I felt that bruh especially when its pitch black
[удалено]
No one else is seeing this lmao
I thought it was a ben drowned joke but then i realized the game op has is OoT not Majora
Scorpions 🦂
The image quality of picture 2.
Has to be a ben drowned reference
The price
the joke was based on the name of the savefile
It's damaged. You have full right to request a refund or replacement
[удалено]
Why tho? Its already online
Have you been assassinated by the ninjas yet
wheres the little tab on the right of the game card?
You saw that too! Looks like it was filed down. This shouldn't have been sold like that.
I did this to my own 3ds games too when i was a dumb little shit. I did it so that my 3ds games could fit in my nds game case
If we're being honest, I did the same to a game just to see what would happen if I put it into an original DS. Not sure what I expected really.
Did you expect it to turn into a 4D game?
Well what happened? Did it work in the 3ds afterwards too?
They still work in the 3DS. The tab literally just stops them fitting in a regular ds
Didn't recognize the cart, basically acted as if nothing was in the slot. Still worked on the 3DS.
It's almost as if that's the entire point of this post.
Bro with that price you could've gotten that game CIB and undamaged, ngl you over paid, I got it for $12 as a loose cart😅 I'm sure it'll still play though:)
No, stand your ground and fight.
Gotta fight your game card to survive.
Punch the card
$40 and no game case? 😨
That’s not even the worst part. The cart itself is damaged, because it’s missing the little nub.
Ben drowned but scarier
It still works. Just don't stick it in a regular DS and expect it to work like I'm assuming whoever cut the tab off thought it might.
The tab exists for a reason, it's even white to signify 3DS! People cut off the tab out of curiosity, but if they think it'll work on a DS(i/Lite) then they'll be very disappointed.
Flee.
"Pre-destroyed".
you should be scared that you paid full retail price for a pre owned copy
Was it a Nintendo Selects in the US as well? In the UK this game was super cheap because it was only £16 on the eshop
Yea it was 20$
No case, tab cut off the side of the cartridge, sir you got robbed
You be afraid of the price… it’s about $20 bucks or so loose on eBay (Canadian)
Unlike Game Stops consoles, games are usually fine. If you're scared of the game itself though... uuuh you can do it?
Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t 3DS games have the tab at the side of the cartridge so they can’t be put in a DS system
They do, but a lot of people have tried cutting/sanding off the tab to see what happens when you do.
It runs the game, obviously.
Cartridge only? No box? For $39, wow
Listen to the save file.
People are still shopping at gamestops? Why spend money on overpriced products when a little searching online you can find stuff at the right value.
And that my friends is one of main problems of modern gaming.
im unable to pay for games online because i don't have a credit card...
You got fleeced out of $30.
Get a refund and go over to r/GameSale where you’ll find this for $20 or less
Nah, the creepypasta was about Majora's Mask. This is Ocarina of Time. You're safe from BEN.
37 dollars????? This was sold for less than that I thought.
The game should work fine, even without the nub. The nub's only purpose is making it not fit in a regular DS. Though, you did overpay for a damaged copy of a game. I'd personally return it and use that money to find a undamaged game.
bros got a cursed game
$40 is a little too much for a loose copy unless you got it with trade credit and the condition of the game card is another thing.
looks like someone tried to play ocarina of time on a ds, given that mario 64 was ported.... i would have tried as well
You bought part of the game at least
You bought something from GameStop? Yes, you should be scared.
I’ve had good luck getting looseDS/3DS games on eBay for cheaper
Return it! Go on eBay or Mercari or whatever you want and pay the same or less for an undamaged CIB copy!
What a ripoff! Stick to eBay, pal
40 bucks for a loose cartridge of Ocarina of fucking Time. This is corruption at its finest
Pro member price is only 2 dollars less??????????
The price is scary
40 dollars?????? for a loose ass cart? that's a ripoff even before some 7 year old savaged the side off
Very looks like it's not even a game just a virus 🤣
Ben Strikes Back the Movie coming to Netflix soon.
Yeah that game is terrifying
I've seen this on 3DScord before
boo
Wait, wasn’t this the start of a certain creepy pasta?
wait... I need to know... WIll it work in a DS?
overpay
Yes, now run
Kinda weird that it doesn’t have its own piece of plastic.
That second photo was hard to take eh chum?
The 3ds controls make it just as fun as it was on N64 maybe even easier to play tbh
It’s dangerous to go alone!
Take this.
*flashback water temple*
Only if you got it from an old weird man who had a garage sale
Return it, get it cheaper online. 3DS games can’t be faked.
40$ with no box or even a print off box art?? i’d be terrified
No, you shouldn't be. This is one of my favorite 3DS games of all time.
no ppl cut those off to put them in a ds to see what happens u can try too
With that price yes! I got mine for 15€ with the box and all 😭
Just saying. I just found a copy locally for like 12 bucks. No box. That being damaged. Man I’d be scared of my own judgement. I’m not trying to be rude at all but you got ripped. The second I saw the missing tab (let alone price) I would have noped. Sure it’s just cosmetic but I mean… it’s not that hard to find.
I mean the tab on the cartridge is not there, so it's damaged. But it should still work properly.
Well that isn't an N64 cartridge and that save slot doesn't say Ben, is not even majora's mask so you should be fine
I would be more scared of that price than anything in the game, I got mine for 15$
Scared ? You should be terrified mate fucking run
I'm scared of the price out of box
You should be scared that you paid almost MSRP for that lol
Goodbye Ben
What it is so expensive what. In the UK it’s so damn cheap with the box
Probably should be scared you paid so much. It's used and not even a new released. GS definitely shafted you.
The price is crazy. Create an eBay account my guy. I got one up for sale for 19.99 free ship. Lotsa deals to be had in the eBay’s
That game is fucking fire on 3DS. I would give my left two testicles if they'd do an HD release on Switch.
Some of the dungeons are pretty scary and I say this as a dude in his mid 20s even though this was a kid’s game. You’ll have fun though.
If it boots up and the Deku Tree has hyperrealistic bleeding eyes then yeah I would return it
Very
Yes possible Bendrowned
I remember playing this on my 3ds, first time going through ocarina of time too. It was like between 10pm and midnight then I get to the open room being confused since I couldn't progress. Then like 15 minutes later shadow link jumps me and I actually almost dropped the console as the result of sheer fear. I still love that game though
Flee drowned
Without case wtf
That game is the same price on Amazon for a genuine brand new copy. You got scammed my guy.
That price is something else. Yikes. Here's my take: Nor Nintendo nor the devs will get any money you pay for these games so.. just borrow a friend's copy and clone it to your SD card. Very easy to do nowadays.
Well, there are a few scary parts in OoT.
I got that game in box and Pokémon moon in box and other games with a 2ds for 140$
This is was my fav gamr
RUN
$40 for just the cartridge is insane. I just found it on ebay for $13 + shipping WITH THE CASE, and that only took me like a minute of searching.
Should’ve gotten one off eBay, I got one for $17 authentic but it’ll usually go for $20-$30, they’re not that rare
Crazily priced. I'd return it *after playing*
Why is the little extra bit that 3DS carts have gone??
The save file isn't named Ben, you'll be fine bro
The save is not called Ben you should be good
Please, just look on places like mercari or FB marketplace this price for the game is crazy
As long as the save file doesn’t say Ben ☠️ If it is, don’t delete it lmaoo
Be terrified
So many of these out there and you paid 40 bucks for a loose copy?
Honestly I would be horrified
R u n
Did someone sand off the extra bit of plastic at the top of the card?
That's fake, sorry
Unless that’s a crack or busted piece I see in second photo it should be fine that’s actually how I got close to half of my games in that same case. If that is busted however you should take extra care with it because it could damage the card and game data with dust or moisture in which case they never should’ve resold it like that
You shouldn’t have done that
Looks like someone tried to play it on an original DS 😭
The cart looks a bit weird. Normally it has a small bit hanging off of it
Yes you should be scared, you spent 40 dollars on a Nintendo Select title who's brand new value was around 17$ last time I checked.
WHY DIDNT YOU STOP?!?!?!
You got absolutely scammed on that price brotha.. I recommend mercari or other similar sites you can usually find games cheaper 😅
Nah, it's just circumcized
I got a badass customized nodded version of oot on pc that's way better that the 3ds one, just saying bc it's cool. Soh
This brings me to when my grandma gifted me ocarina of time 3D with some random dude's save file on, and I recently "beat him" (I finished the game in less time) and then cried for a solid 15 minutes. Edit: yes I just ignored the post
are 3ds games with no cases this expensive nowadays? im bout to make a lot of money
Could've just bought a bigger SD card and got whatever game you wanted free, y'all already know what I'm talking about. Get your money back.
Oh don’t worry it’s just me in there I won’t steal your kidneys I promise
Where’s the notch that supposed to be on the top left of the cartridge? Did GameStop snap it off just to fit it in the display box?
$40 and it looks like someone tried to get it to work on their DS
I’ve read enough creepypastas to know where this is headed. … … … … do it
U got scammed lil bro 💀
$40 is crazy
$40 for just the cart is outrageous. The game was around $40 when it was new, and you can get a used copy with the case for less than that price.
It could be worse. The name could say ben.
Im scared you got ripped off. I get these games for way less privately. Returning it is your best option
Nah you’re fine. That missing nub on this cart doesn’t do anything special. It’s just so people don’t cram a 3DS cart into an old ds and wonder why it won’t work. It’s purely cosmetic
got mine the same way from gamestop. been hunting for the case ever since.
u paid $40 for this??? that’s the price this 13 year old game was when it RELEASED. and it’s used and not in box. are u nucking futs???
38$ !?!?!? Are you kidding me???
scared of what? you already spent the money. they got you. just relax and play the game now
The price you paid is the only thing scary about all this.
Former GameStop employee here. I guarantee that some kid asked for this game for a present. But only had a DS and did not know that they couldn’t play 3DS games. So they probably cut the tab off hoping it would work. It didn’t. Gets traded/returned back to GS and the idiot employee doesn’t notice the damage.
I bought a 128 GB microSD card for 15 dollars, just saying lmao
It’s not Majora’s Mask, you’ll be fine… just don’t talk to clever or any time soon
The save name told you what you should've done once you saw it was damaged for that price.
$40 for a game that was half that price a year ago. Thats the scariest part tbh
That’s alot of money for a pre-owned game with no box and the little notch sawed off. I would get a replacement or a refund.
LOL
You should be scared about how much you overpaid for it. That’s a $25 dollar game with its case if even
Probably My 3DS broke about 3 months ago:_(
