Electroplankton

[Blue Protoman]

Anyone know of that abstract music game for the DS?  Back when I had my first Nintendo DS (the phat one), I had an M3DS Real.  I still have it now, but now that I have a DSi, it's useless to me, so I'm gonna sell it.  Anyway, Electroplankton was the first game I pirated.

But...holy crap.  How did Electroplankton become so rare so quickly?  The lowest price for it on Amazon is $50!  And it's a current-gen game!

What happened?

I got if for my birthday a long time ago, and I stupidly sold it to Gamestop so I could buy something else... I'm so mad. It was pretty much awesome. The only way you could buy it up until now was through Nintendo's online store, and then they stopped making them. That's how they got rare. Now it's like a collector's item, even though it's fairly common on the Internet.

I don't think that's true...there was a Walmart about 20 minutes away from here that was selling the game awhile back.  I thought about it, but it didn't seem like a fun game to me.

I sure didn't see it anywhere, and it wasn't even in Gamestop's trade-in database when I traded it in, so I'm assuming it wasn't easy to find.

Electroplankton is actually pretty cool.  How much does your Wal-Mart sell it for?

[nintendodork]

Well, they don't sell it anymore, but I believe it was $24.99

There's two on ebay for 2.99.

Aren't those the manuals?
