    Yeah, the recent sale they had, I was going through their website and adding so many things to cart. I was so excited because it was a great deal, 4 for 20$ or something, then I hovered my mouse over the purchase button and paused... realizing that they probably couldn't sell those games for a reason. I collect these games not just to play, but to display, and the few I have from my childhood that are in slip covers or CD cases are definitely tucked behind everything else.

    Man, Punch Out for Wii is my 5th favorite game ever! I remember my mom and sister got me a blue Nintendo Wii many years ago and I bought Punch Out since I enjoyed the NES and SNES versions. One of my favorite purchases of a game!
    If you're gonna play it, use both the Nunchuk and Wii Remote. It'll give your arms a decent workout unlike actual boxing.
    This is why I check any disc when I purchase a disc related game.

    As someone who works at a used game store and personally despises disc rot incurred from resurfacing machines; how do you avoid it/fix it?

Take a nice clean cloth, spray a tiny smidge of that on your cloth and rub it in circles on and around where those damned pricing stickers are sitting on the case. They will come off with some diligence. Grab another cloth, maybe with some dampness too it and clean the area after. Dry the area finally. And you're golden buddy!

    The one thing I can say they learned, was their sticker game. Back in the day, they used to put stickers over the barcode on the insert art itself, as well as the spine. My Portable Ops shows the scars of trying to remove the damn thing.

    the thing about buying retro games at GameStop is if you're just looking to own the games and don't care if they come loose or what condition the box and/or manual is in, then GameStop is fine. there are plenty of better options with much better pricing, but GameStop is still viable. the problem is when you're actually trying to COLLECT and you DO care about how your games look because you want to DISPLAY them. THEN GameStop is a BIG no-go and i do NOT recommend ANY serious collectors EVER buy retro shit from GameStop.
    as for stickers on the box, personally i don't care about that. i like to keep the stickers on the box, tbh. to me, having those old stickers there tells a story and i think that's super special and i don't wanna fuck with that.
