My son wanted this game for his birthday and of course it came out long ago, so you couldnât fine it new from normal retailers. I found it used, but having purchased some used DS games before you take a gamble on if itâs in good shape or not. I saw that Media Professionals had it on the Wal-Mart site. It didnt say new, but it also didnt say refurbished. I assumed then it must be new or a mistake. The price wasnât horrible even if it was used and terrific if new. Once I ordered it it said the delivery would be up to a week after my sonâs birthday. I told him that and he was fine with it. Nevertheless, they had it mailed out the next day and I got a brand new still wrapped game a day before his birthday. The new games I saw elsewhere were $40-$50 dollars more. This was a great deal from a great company with fast shipping. I would definitely order from them again.
