Hotel Dusk: Room 215 receives a second production
BFeld13 \| 6:21 PM on 09.07.2008	18 comments

So I'm flipping through the ads in the paper today, and I'm browsing through the video games section of the Best Buy ads. Not too much out of the ordinary: Spore, Mario Super Sluggers, Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise. The usual, you might say.

But then something caught my eye. Do you see it?

Look closer...

Best Buy was plugging Hotel Dusk: Room 215! Why is this weird, you ask? Hotel Dusk came out on January 22, 2007, a year and a half ago.

I've never seen a game get a second printing that wasn't the gold edition or some other bullshit. Does this mean Nintendo is making another push to sell this gem of a game? Regardless, it's priced at $20, so there's no reason not to buy it if you missed out on it the first time. It had awesome puzzles that took advantage of the DS and it had a great, graphic novel art style to boot.

Buy it! Buy it now (or Tuesday when it comes out... again)!

Great :) Hopefully more people will be able to play this amazing masterpiece!

Louis is still one of the best game characters ever.

nademagnet

i still haven't beaten this game... i stopped playing for a while and now I don't know what the hell i'm doing :D

Mxyzptlk

Loved this game, well worth picking up.

HarassmentPanda

Definitely a great game; I'm glad to see it back. Nintendo has done reprints of a number of DS games -- Phoenix Wright and Trauma Center immediately come to mind.

Phantom Spaceman

I imagined Hitchcock-esque violins with each successively closer shot.

A New Challenger

Note also Clubhouse Games is getting a reprint. That's also been going for 40 or more on eBay.

Now if only they'd shell out for the Tetris license again...

I'm going to have to pick Hotel Dusk up, thanks for the tip, meng.

Also...

Nice, I might have to pick up both those DS titles. Or at least alert my parents about Clubhouse Games.

AKK

Yes! I borrowed Hotel Dusk the first time around, but I always wanted to buy a copy, such an amazing title.

This time I won't forget to pick up that light that allows you to see the invisible ink.

Having to retype the code in and guess the numbers was one of the most irritating things I've done in a long time.

Oh well, anyone who hasn't played this game has no excuse now!

Arcanum

Still my favorite game on the DS.

MaxVest

Glad they reprinted these, and didn't hang onto a $29.99 price point. Now all they need to do is reprint Tetris DS.

Justice

Odd, apparently a sequel is coming out.

Batthink

I quickly completed it, but it was a very worthwhile experience. :O)

Kryptinite

way to fuck up Best Buy...way to fuck up.

Clockwork

This game has been on my Goozex list for quite some time. Goddamn I really want to play it.

The-Excel

Seconding every "play this or else" sentiment on this article.
