Anybody have any memories of having to pick between buying two different games, and in retrospect you wish you'd bought the other one? Examples?

As a kid I got one game per Christmas. One year I was deciding between Streets of Rage 2 or Eternal Champions. Yeah, I fucked up.
as a kid, my dad took me and my cousin to a video store to pick out a nes game. out of all the top name games we could of picked, we ended up getting top gun because we was a fan of the movie.
Bwahahahahah. I played that game so much that I could still hear the engine noise in my ears for hours after playing it.
lol as did we. it took me and my cousin around five months to get to the fifth stage. we hated the game, but wanted to progress on to the next level, hoping that there would be something that resembles the movie. may be a cut scene or a 8 bit transition of the berlin song, take my breath away or danger zone lol
I went to a local video store that was closing
They had Mario RPG and Earthbound sitting there for $15, both had a complete box with it. Being broke at the time, I only had the coin for one game. I picked Mario RPG
Bad choice there.
Nah, Mario RPG > Earthbound.
Well if we're going to make this thread about games that we missed out on flipping, then we can all kick ourselves for not clearing out Kay-Bee Toys' clearance bin on a regular basis.
Yea was at a KB toy store I believe, my "friend" talked me out of getting for the nes P.O.W and got hydlide nes instead.....
worst mistake ever. If you've never seed hydlide youtube it.

A local video store that rented SNES games was selling out there stuff?alked right fucking past ninja Gaiden Trilogy on the SNES. At the time, I wasn't a fan of the game so I didn't think it would be worth a ton years later.
Idiot.
In the late 90's, found this local kid selling his SNES RPG collection. $20/game. He had (complete in box mind you), Final Fantasy II, III, and a ton of other SNES games like Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, etc. All complete in perfect condition. All I wanted at the time was Final Fantasy II, so that was all I bought (already had FFIII complete in box).
Fucking dumb...
That's gotta be /thread right there.
I don't really personally recall ever being in that position. I feel like every time I went to the store to get a new NES game, I was picking between all the B and C-grade leftover shit because all of the A-list titles were always out of stock. So whatever I picked was going to be mediocre.
I will say that I waited until 2001 to buy Castlevania SotN because I was annoyed by all of the hype that it got. I picked up a lot of games instead of that one, and that was definitely a fuck-up. I ended up getting it though, so whatever.
