Yeah, $13 including tax is a very good price for a game like Ogre Battle... :) ... and it had the box and manual too. Not just a loose cart or something.
Movie Gallery has 'buy two get one free' for their used games (and seems to be selling off all of their N64 games), but their game selection didn't have something like Ogre Battle. Still, they had Rush 2 and I'll have to get that sooner or later...
Soul Calibur II... been playing that one some more. Yes, if you put the difficulty on Normal and play original arcade mode, you'll beat it quite quickly. But there's the weapons master mode to add some hours, and higher difficulty levels which get much harder, and plenty of moves to learn... it's not that short, really, once you get into it.
Now I have 3 Cube fighters... Soul Calibur II, SSB: M, and CvS2. It's hard to say which is best, really, but Soul Calibur might be the worst. For multiplayer it is, anyway... it has balance issues, first -- some characters are just plain better. And I think that a classic 2d fighter like CvS just has more to it... and as for SSB, I don't know. It's so different from other fighting games... Single player, I don't know. It depends on what you mean by that, really... but CvS2 has the weakest one, probably. In how much time it takes for you to beat the game (and unlock everything), anyway...
I don't regret buying games very often... generally I know that I'll like what I buy so it isn't a problem. Sure, there might be a better game out there, but most of the stuff I have is good too... oh, I can think of some games I regret getting (like SimCity 3000 instead of Baldur's Gate, or Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance instead of Gauntlet Dark Legacy, or getting that GB Ken Griffey baseball game, etc...), but I don't just get random games I don't know much about. :)
Of course, the price helps too. I wouldn't have bought Soul Calibur II for $40, and probably wouldn't have for $30, but $20? :)
