I'm thinking of ordering a bunch of manuals at once (nes-gc), anybody want to piggy back so we can discuss or save on shipping... or i can get yours and you can trade me for it. (Only negative is their warning: This is the manual that was packaged with the game. The manual you receive may be a photocopy of the original manual.) Prices are from $1-2.50 each (They even have some FF map/charts)

^they sell insert art work as well, if you have some disc only gc games, these may help. |

BRE Software is a great company. Everything you get from them is in mint condition and shows no wear at all. |

yep, i concur. That's who i got my Fatal Frame 2 (PS2) manual from, and it was minty fresh, just without that new manual smell. I believe you were the one who pointed me to them, which i greatly appreciated. Now i just keep hoping they get a manual for NHL 06 for the gamecube.
Since you just reminded me of him, i checked there for my silet hill 2 (ps2) jacket, and i'll be able to get one from him for less than $5 shipped.

Yep, I was the one who pointed you towards them. Definitely one of my favorite online sellers. |

I order some of these form the Nintendo store a few years ago I got all computer printed instructions. Make sure you click on every title you want to order and it will tell you if it is the original or a copy. I was very disappointed because I didn't click on them when I ordered.

Wow, BRE soft rules.
I just got a Dracula X manual for SNES for under $5 shipped, and I picked up SNES controllers and NES/SNES universal ac adapters for $4.50 and $6 each respectively with their bulk buy pricing. I needed those bad, too. That site is fantastic.

Hey vlame, would you buy manuals for me and I trade you Donkey Kong Country 2 (SNES) for the equal amount? I might also send some money
with it if I want more than the value, to save on shipping. Let me know, thanks!  |

Has anyone actually gotten their "retro" manuals yet? Like ou812now mentioned, I too ordered a TON of "manuals" from Nintendo.com a few years back thinking I had hit the jackpot....only to get huge 8.5'' by 11'' sheets of photocopied "manuals" in the mail. On the website it said something very similar to what this site says about the photocopies. I even called and talked to a guy at Nintendo saying that I wished the site would say copied versions on 8.5 by 11 sheets of paper instead of just manuals, but he had no interest.
If these are the real deal that that's great!

wow, I could finish off my N64 manual needs (5 more) on store.nintendo.com for only $10... I really don't want to take the risk that they're photocopied, though...

Nintendo sent me a couple photocopied manuals and I just called to explain that I couldn't use them (I completely blew off the little warning at the bottom) and they refunded me in full.
I have the entire fold-out Final Fantasy map on a little 8x11.5" piece of paper  What were they thinking?

Wow, I can't believe Nintendo would sell photo copies of manuals. You know for a fact if anyone at Game Trading Zone did that for a living and was caught by Nintendo they would be thrown in jail and given a hefty fine. I only sell or trade original manuals myself. |

I may have the manual for NHL 06, check out my list and let me know if you want anything. I will be adding a lot more manuals, boxes, and games this week. Over 80+ |

What puzzles me more is why do they offer a limited selection? They could obvious hand out copies of any game they've ever made, or just don't put in the section at all.

maybe they don't own the rights to redistribute certian manuals or sold off the last real copy already. |

I'd find it somewhat hard to believe that they don't have the real stuff for N64 stuff anymore, seeing as it was being made a recently as 2001. SNES and NES I can see, but N64 isn't incredibly far back.

I find it hard to believe they don't have the rights to distribute copies of manuals of games made 100% by Nintendo? I mean they have just a random dozen games up there. IIRC, it's not Mario 1, 2, 3 and such it's just a bunch of random crap.

I've ordered about 10 or so GBA manuals from Nintendo.com before and all but 2 of them were the actual original manuals that came with the game. |
