Oct 29, 5, Every single game had to be printed onto a PCB and covered in a cart.
That shits expensive even today. There's a reason the industry provided CDs and digital downloads as soon as it possibly could. Maxey Member. Oct 27, 6, Portugal. The tech was expensive and Nintendo controlled the production of carts, so they could practice high prices and get away with it. Lunatic Member. Oct 27, 2, Wasn't there some games where the cartridge was basically a lower power console in itself have the game run properly? Shakedown Member. Oct 27, 1, Cincinnati, OH. Game cartridges were effectively expansion cards you inserted into the motherboard of your console.

Oh yeah another thing to look for on legit games.
On the right side of the sticker on the front there is a depressed lot number and something else. You have to angle it just right in the light to see it.
That's another way to tell if a gameboy game is legit. User Info: TriforceSD. K-Mart seems to have a few floating around.
My Wisconsin friends are witnesses to that, as they got one of them. Might be worth your time calling around all the K-Marts near you before camping out on ebay.

Around here we have Movie Trading Company. You might try a similar place in your local mall. This game was the last GBA game released, I think, or pretty close, and was not in production for that long.
I had great difficulty getting this game in the UK back in I couldn't afford it when it was released, and it was simply not available in the shops after six months.
I bought two fake copies - one was clearly a fake, the other was more convincing - and returned them. I feel your pain, TC. Perhaps you guys remember me hunting for a copy on eBay about a year ago. I was unsuccessful, and gave up. I tried "other" methods to play it, but none were good.

What makes this so expensive is the time investment. If one leaves the arena, the points are lost. Getting W-Summon can take about an hour if not more depending on luck. Getting Yojimbo to join Yuna's side is a bit tricky. It is kind of like how one obtains Yuffie in Final Fantasy VII as there is a sort of wordplay mini-game based on prices.

Blitzball is kind of its own Gil sink like the Battle Square, but that is a different story. One of the best things about Final Fantasy XV is its food dishes. No matter if one buys them or has Ignis prepare them at camp, these little morsels look delicious. This can be acquired in Altissia, which will then lead to Ignis discovering a new recipe. It grants a major boosts to stats. In the remastered edition it is much easier although still tricky.
