Have you ever gone to the store to buy a video game, looked at the shelf, and saw a ton of copies of one title just sitting there, gathering dust? The toy nickname for one of these is a “shelfwarmer” or “pegwarmer.”

Here’s some pictures I found, courtesy of the Metroid Database (NOTE: Very big, just copy/paste and add a www).

I also remember seeing a ton of copies of Zack and Wiki when it first came out, although not nearly on that scale.

Any other pics?

I don't have any picture, but in every used games stores I went to have a warehouse worth of dusty Haze and Madworld copies. A few Rogue Warrior too.
