Another rare switch game is skylanders imaginators. It was discontinued very quick, and fans bought it like crazy. Because it was the first time to play a real skylanders game on the go (there were some 3DS games. But those were totally different games (still very good though). You also just needed to scan a character once, and you could always play as them. No portals required. I think it goes around for about 300 bucks

I actually have one of the SNES competition carts: Star Fox Super Weekend. I found it at a Gamestop sometime when I was in high school (sometime between 2003 and 2007). It cost me only $8 since they marked it as regular Star Fox instead.

I had clay fighters sculptors cut. I sold it when it was at about the 600 mark. It's around 1000 today. That 12k selling was for one complete in box. While I hated to sell it knowing it would just keep going up in price, I probably don't hate it as much as the guy i paid 1 dollar for it at his garage sale.

Interestingly in Europe the German Version seems to never have gotten a reprint, but others have. So you could get all versions besides the German one quite easily from Amazon for some time. But now all stock is sold out and listings of any European version are also very rare and copies on Ebay sell for around 100€. I luckily bought my German Version on Launch Day.

No wonder Shantae on GB got a re-release on current consoles from Limited Run games. Pocky and Rocky! Loved that game on SNES! Used to play that on Blockbuster! Bayonetta Climax Edition was also released by Game UK and they made 14k copies. I know, because I bought one during the 5 days it had before it sold out. Nice vid! Gonna check out your other content!

Clay fighters!!! Omg!! I remember that game! I completely forgot about the existence of that game but I remember renting it! My gosh.

So about the Powerfest 94 cartridge I happen to know the guy who owns one of the two cartridges and apparently he was offered over $100k during a convention but he turned it down another thing to note is that the two cartridges use different multipliers with one being 10x and the other being 100x

great video today !! but one thing a youtube named nick robinson (i’m pretty sure) found a ds “game” that was used as a training tape in japan in select mc donalds places so i think that may be the rarest game since it was only available in japan in select mc donalds and even then most cartridges went missing after the idea was trashed he has a very interesting video about it

I have recently seen a loose copy of Shantae go for $800 at a local game store after years of never seeing one but wanting one since reading about it in Nintendo Power Magazine.

Hey copycat I love your videos so much!!!

Oh man. Great video, but I ALMOST skipped past the Virtual Boy section because it was starting to make my eyes strain. I played it before and that thing is absolutely HORRID.

What about the DSi? There were three exclusive titles for it in the US, and a few more released elsewhere.

Love topics like this

I ended up getting Hyrule Warriors and the scarf separately, but I still use the scarf. It's actually pretty short (ok, yeah, Link's in-game one is _ridiculously long_ because anime reasons, but still), but a quality scarf, very warm. I wish I could've gotten ahold of the Triforce clock, though. I think that's what the European special edition was sold with.

I’m like 100% sure my brother had that Metroid prime bundle on the Wii, but I have no clue where it would be nowadays

I own a copy of Clay Fighter's Sculptors Cut, and had no idea that it skyrocketed that high in price over the years. I got it for like $60 in 2014 when I started hardcore collecting for the N64, jesus that's wild wtf

I used to have Pokémon Box. You could buy it at the Pokémon Center store now known as Nintendo New York. In a moment of desperation I sold it for $40 on eBay. I regret that. All the time.

Holy cow, I actually own the Wii Metroid Prime Trilogy in the metal box! Guessing I should go find out what it's worth now

Great video

I still have an original NES with the Duck Hunt Gun, and game still in the original box. I also have The Legend of Zelda with maps also still in the original box.

Just thought I, being the local Wii U nerd, should point out that Devil’s Third is selling for about $400, Game and Wario is selling for $120, and Turbo super stunt squad is selling for $120. Those are all North American non-sealed prices.

A lot of these higher prices are for boxed/sealed copies, by the way. Loose carts can still be expensive but they cut the price considerably in most cases. I’d love to sell my copy of Shantae for $4000, but that isn’t happening any time soon.

I sold my Earthbound for $500 with big box and guide a few years ago. Feels sad about selling it but I desperately needed the cash and it helped me get where I am financially today.

Wow I bought a used gold ocarina of time from blockbuster in the early 2000s and didn’t even know it was rare

People should note that these are generally for boxed copies, and some are actually inflated costs as we get further into summer when a lot of collectors have already spent their tax money lol. I have maybe a quarter of the games on this list, so far. Some I had passed up previously because they didn't interest me. I watch game prices. It's what I do. :)

Still weird to me that Earthbound is as rare as it is. I've still got my cart. I think I was one of the niche group of people who asked for it as a kid when it was new. It's a shame I didn't keep the box and I lost the guide though.

I had a blockbuster clay fighter but sold it at a garage sale.

The rarest Wii U games aren’t Hyrule Warriors nor Hello Kitty, the rarest and most expensive is Darksiders 2 Wepik Fan cover and the most expensive stand alone title at the moment is Devil Third

My thoughts during this video: - Who would pay that much money for a game? - Why would a developer destroy their game just for not selling well enough? - Who would buy a game, only to let it collect dust without ever having played it? - ... people are weird.

Hey, what's the closing music? Is that from a game?

Pokemon Colosseum not for resale variant bundle for gamecube is the rarest of those existing title variants. It is much rarer than the wind waker and metroid prime bundle. However, it is so rare that there is no awareness of it. Pricing is ALLL over the place because many people dont know what they have. Those who do know would likely never sell because it is a collectors piece. Edit: the jirachi bundle nfr variant. Not the standard nfr variant without the bonus disc included.
