Where to find N64 games in Portland, Oregon

June 22, 2010 11:21 AM

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the original Super Smash Bros. for N64 in Portland, Oregon, hopefully by tomorrow, new or used?

Gamestops in Portland, OR. Better get on the phone.

Ground Kontrol may be able to help too.

I know it's not terribly helpful to say who's not going to have things rather than saying who will, but Gamestops (and EBGames) nationwide have stopped taking N64 games entirely.

And although it's not the real thing, the game is available on the Wii's Virtual Console.

I second CD Game Exchange- last time I was there they had games for older systems.

There's a CD Gamexchange at Hawthorne and 36th that has helped me in the past: 503-233-1708.

Response by poster: Thanks everyone. CD Game Exchange has it, but it's $25, which seems a bit pricey for an old game. I just put up a craigslist ad asking for one, so hopefully someone responds. Or I might be banished to garage sale scrounging.

The problem is now SSM is "retro". I'm actually a bit surprised it's that cheap.

Garage sales are a good choice, though.

If you can wait about a week, get it used online. I tend to buy all of my used games on Amazon and Half.com

Super Smash Bros. 64 on Amazon

Super Smash Bros. 64 on Half.com

Also, if you have a Wii, it's now available on the Virtual Console and will be much cheaper this way than buying a used cartridge. You won't even have to leave your house to get it.
