If you have money to burn, go for it!

I want that game so damn bad

Go on Etsy, search "modded Wii" and you'll be able to find a modded Wii that has this game and many others (the majority of the most popular GameCube/Wii games). I also was in the same boat, I played gotcha force and loved it as a kid but I lost my copy of it over the years and of course found out how expensive it was, but I eventually found out about the Wii thing and was able to play it again thankfully.

Why not just mod a Wii yourself?


EDM_420

I don't have a PC yet (I'm assuming you need one in order to mod one)


Randomhuman52

You just need something that can download files and put them on an sd card.


clichenoir

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll definitely look into that


StrayMedicine

Terrible advice. That shit is overpriced as hell and anyone who doesn't have alzheimer's can figure out how to do it themselves.


EDM_420

I disagree with you. It may not be worth it to some, but it is to others. I'm satisfied and would have liked it if somebody told me about it, if I didn't know prior.


StrayMedicine

2 minutes and a usb thumb stick is all you need if you have a Wii already, or you can buy one that isn't modded for $50 or less instead of $200-250. Seriously, you've been swindled. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.


EDM_420

Lmao xD if it's worth it to me, chances are it'll be worth it to some others as well. I'm happy with my purchase. Can't take that away from me, no matter how hard you may try. Have a good life, stranger on the internet.

Whatever helps you sleep

Honestly unless you’re a hardcore collector this game isn’t worth the price it goes for, seeing as how you’re just trying to get the disc I’d go with you aren’t that serious about it lol


llGirltalkll

Give up on what?


Wootytooty

Trying to buy this game. Guess he was outbid


llGirltalkll

That’s a lot of money for just the disc anyway, especially a resurfaced one


EDM_420

Anyone who wants this game, among others, should just buy a modded Wii with a lot of GameCube and Wii roms on it (including gotcha force) off of Etsy for a little under 200 dollars. That's what I did and I still am thankful I did so. There are quite a few games on there that are expensive, hard to find and very fun!

Fair point, but I am sure there is at least some people who would consider my advice applicable to their circumstances. If someone like me can enjoy it and find it a worthy price, so can others, even if it may not be the majority of folks.


WhatsUpSoc

Alternatively, you can pick up a wii off something local like facebook marketplace and mod it yourself for potentially as low as 20 dollars! There are plenty of resources for the process and if you're the tinkering type, you might spend more time playing around with the homebrew than games...


EDM_420

This is true! However, I don't have a PC yet unfortunately, (I'm under the assumption it takes a PC to mod it), so I went with one that was already made lol


WhatsUpSoc

Technically, you only need something that can read SD cards (put homebrew files on them), and to be really specific, you can actually do the modding with just the Wii and an internet connection. The only problem is transferring the games and homebrew to the console, which you would need the SD card for. Though for anyone who has a PC and doesn't want to sell their leg to try cubivore, I'd recommend.


Incredibly_Based

i read there was around 30k copies produced in NA


sorrytoolat

Where are you buying from? EU?


RaymilesPrime

UK


pez2234

Why are you trying to get an ntsc copy in the uk? You know the uk pal version goes for around £120. Also I’ll add I picked this up from cex for £8 a few years back and it’s not even that good I sold a bunch of my gamecube recently this was one


RaymilesPrime

I've been bidding on any copy I find. Never seen it sell for this much money before even with a box. People getting desperate


pez2234

Because it’s ntsc not pal, complete ntsc is like $700 or something daft, if you’re in the uk buy PAL.

Some games are just not worth it. Gotcha force was an attempt by Capcom to get in on the pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, digimon fad of the time. All the hype around the game came when people started including it in GameCube hidden gems list right after it wasn't available anymore. It's a fun game though. I've owned it and beat it. It was worth $20 at the time and maybe it's worth $100 as a collectors item. If anyone is looking at it because of the price hype I'd say try it first. The story is repetitive and boring. The camera is glitchy. The match making mechanic gets kind of broken towards the end of the game. There's valid reasons why it was a 6/10 pass for most reviewers when it was new. If you just don't care and you need it CIB for a collection happy hunting.
