Me:
"Hi, do you have <> in stock?"

Shop Assistant:
"No, i'm afraid we don't."

STOP! do you recognize any of this? Why oh why oh why oh why doesn't anywhere sell N64 games anymore. If the do they leave a burning hole in your bank balance. They're old. So what? Antique shops sell loads of old things! N64 games are some of the coolest around and the still don't sell them! If anyone knows why, mail me at [email protected]...

Probably because there is little profit in them, I don't think they are even manufacturing them anymore (I severely doubt they are) so that means no new stock, and second hand N64 games are hard to come by because if people were gonna trade in old consoles they probably would have done it by now...

That a good enough answer?

Probably somthing to do with the low demand for the games...

And also the fact that no new games are coming out for the system....

You can still find games in 2nd hand shops and SR still sell a few N64 games at quite nice prices.

yep, and playstation games are nice and cheap to produce so they dont have to sell as many to make a profit. + the fact you can also play them on the PS2...

By the way...
why oh why oh - spells yoyo!

And N64 games have been vanishing from all stores for ages now! And even the pre-owned games are rip-offs (in most places)! So that's another downside.

I haven't forgotten it!

I'm always buying new games for it!

If I was you, try and track down a shop called Gamestation. They always have loads of 2nd hand games in!
