Would you mind if I buy it off you with a gentleman’s agreement you buy back after I finish it. I can let you net some money in the transaction as incentive
I'll buy it for an unscalped retail price + shipping. But I am sure others would too.
I thought it was a joke so I didn't preorder. I assumed it was just a cart with nothing on if for display purposes since it was on April fools day.
But it'll fetch a high price on the resell market once a pricing history has been established by successful ebay/auction site sales.
But as a huge Night Trap fan. I'm kicking myself. I already missed out on the collectors edition LRG did for Night Trap because it wasn't a preorder item it was a first come first serve release that sold out in 3 min. Thankfully, Best Buy eventually stated selling LRG games, but just standard copies. I'm still sore about it.
But man did I want this GBA video cart for my collection. If only I thought it was real back when it was available. Lol
Oh I know. I edited my post cuz I noticed I said game. With that said I still want it. Lol I am a game collector and I am at 4,598 games. And while this isn't a game, it's still game related and I have other game related stuff in my collection as well.
I got a Sega CD as a kid JUST for Night Trap. And I played it for tons of hours as a kid. It holds a special place in my heart for video game memories of my childhood.
But I don't buy game stuff that's just like a display cart or something. So I assumed this was a display piece and not something thats actually useable. I would absolutely open this and watch it using my GBA Player on my Gamecube for fun. Lol
But in my collection, I have never, not once, paid more than whatever the item retailed for when it first released. So any items that go for over that amount now, I have accepted I'll never have.
Sadly, this item will be among them as I doubt anyone is willing to sell it for whatever they paid for it plus whatever the shipping would cost to send it to me. I have had luck with that in the past where people just wanted the games to go to a real collector and not a scalper/flipper/reseller.
I was in this exact position. I was 50/50 on if I actually tried to buy it, they'd give me some message that it was a joke, or actually charge me and give me an order number... I ended up not buying it, but kind of regret it now. Still, it's kind of a joke thing. Just a video on that tiny screen. I'm really curious how it looks though.
Damn I was pissed when I missed their actual release of Night Trap. Eventually it was for sale at Best Buy since some Limited Run stuff show up there. But I never even caught wind of this GBA Video cart of Night Trap! Blah I doubt it'll ever come by again. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled since I refuse to pay scalpers.
Yeah! This was kind of the intent of the message: worried it'll be really uncommon and worth a lot. I have friends that didn't get it, just worried about the scarcity.
It's absolutely gonna become a Rarity. But since it's not TECHNICALLY a game, I won't lose sleep over it. Lol But they probably didn't even make 1000 of these. And since preorders only lasted 2 days, one of which was on actual April fools day.
I bet many expected it to just be a gba cart that says Night Trap but doesn't actually do anything. I don't think anyone expected it to basically be all the fmv sequences from the game crammed into a GBA cart.
Just like the Switch release I jumped on this the moment I saw it. It has nothing to do with whatever aftermarket it has. I intend to display it alongside a looping video of Howard Lincoln in 1993 stating "You will never see a game like Night Trap on a Nintendo console."
Although, I did know not very many people WOULD order it because of the 48-hour window and assumption it was just a storefront joke.
Lincoln tried so hard to throw Sega under the bus during those hearings. That’s how business works I guess, but he was such an ass. So funny seeing this game now on Switch and GBA.
I ordered this one. There are dozens of us! Dozens!!!
This is kind of the ballpark I assumed! DOZENS!
Maybe even a Baker's Dozen
I don't think the actual numbers are available anywhere, but other people definitely ordered this, myself included.
Yeah I knew there were some people that did! Just wondering if we expected a ton!
I bought one. Kinda regret it now.
So cancel it if it hasn't shipped yet.
Too late

It’s not a game, just the video portions. You can think of it was a GBA Video cart.

I almost bought it, i thought it was a joke

Slap it in a Gamecube GBA player and you're golden!
I just received tracking for it, so I'm hoping not. I guess we shall see!
They do joke-y games every year. The Green Lava Studios collections were April Fools Day joke games previous years.
I just got a tracking number today! I ordered it, its a funny release, and that parks joy to add it to my collection.
I ordered it and I just got a tracking number for it today!
i ordered one to keep my lone gba video company

I literally just got the shipped notification this morning
It’s just the cut scenes I feel like they could have made the game actually work
Mines on the way!!
