He was really taken aback and was like "whatever kid, have fun." By some stroke of fortune, they found another Star Fox bundle with a Purple GameCube and they opened it up and let me just switch out the consoles.Īs I was leaving, an associate a the door said "nice, kid, I love Super Smash Bros" and I said "me too!" and he said "I unlocked everyone in one day" and I defiantly said "NO YOU DIDN'T!!" because you had to play versus for 20 hours to unlock Mewtwo. I pleaded with my mother, who pleaded with the sales rep, to find some other solution. The new bundle was the same, but it was a black GameCube with Star Fox Adventures. But they only sold those retailer bundles, so they wanted me to exchange all the contents that were in my original bundle for another alternate bundle they had for sale. A couple years into the lifecycle, my disk drive stopped working and we brought it back to Costco to exchange it. It was a GameCube with Super Smash Bros Melee and a Memory Card - everything I could ever need.
The only console bundle I ever had was a retailer bundle from Costco.
And while AstroBot may not be sold separately on PS5, it's still one of the coolest showcases of the Dualsense, and is going to stay installed just so I can show it off to people holding the controller for the first time. Or Mario Kart 8 being an undeniably obvious get for new Switch owners. Meanwhile, stuff like Wii Sports stayed in regular rotation in peoples' Wii libraries for years. But no, instead it was "Uhhh I dunno, kids like this kinda shit, right? Take these!" Meanwhile Microsoft looked at Viva Pinata and B&K Nuts and Bolts and said "get back in your hole." Not like anything first party or that took advantage of the core features of the system. Now I don't know if this counted towards NPD tracking, or if at some point someone realized there was an enormous stockpile of these games going nowhere, but it was the most "Oh god, the Wii is eating family sales like crazy and we have no family games to push" kind of move to make this the bundle for the holiday. At some point we had to send a giant-ass box of these off to one of the company's warehouses or whatever. They just wouldn't stop growing and spreading. Our drawer full of Used 360 discs, an entire row was dedicated to just these games. At some point we had to put a pile in the back room. And thus, we had some people rip open the box in the store after buying the console and trading it in immediately for like. Every 360 console we sold had Lego Indiana Jones/Kung Fu Panda packed in.
