Modern Rare Games?

[bluecollarninja]

what are some rare titles for x-box, Ps2 and GC?

or ones that you haven't seen that much?

[Quazick]

Metropolismania for ps2 is one to look out for I know it's on clearance racks but it only stayed on shelves for like 2 months and it didn't sell well at all..

[hamburgler]

air force delta storm for x-box
sneakers for x-box
9 holes of xmas outlaw golf for x-box

[Chunky]

9 holes of xmas outlaw golf for x-box

blockbuster had buy 2 get one free. and i asked if the offer went fo rthese and the girl said yes. so i picked up 6 for $20+ tax.. now what do i do...hmmm.

of all the so called rares ones nowadays, i have yet to see a cubivore for GC.

[maxlords]

Not many. I'd bet on Rez for PS2 though, as well as what's been mentioned above. There isn't going to be the kind of rarity we see in older consoles anymore because the print runs are so much higher than they used to be. It's not the same kind of market it used to be, so low print run games are mostly a thing of the past.

[nesman85]

zoocube for gamecube is kinda rare compared to other gc games.

[buttasuperb]

id bet guilty gear x and skygunner had lower print runs.

[Oobgarm]

Road Trip for PS2--Found it at Toys R Us in the bargain bin. Haven't seen it anywhere else.

Pro Race Driver for PS2--Haven't seen this one around much. A copy here, a copy there.

Hard Hitter Tennis for PS2--I've only seen it at Best Buy, and it was only $15.

Contra & Suikoden III for PS2--I haven't seen a new copy of either one of these in a while. The Gamestop computer says that both are discontinued. Not sure if it's right, though.

Steel Battalion for Xbox--Come on now, there's no doubt that this one will be hard to come by. :D :D :D

Pulse Racer for Xbox--I don't think this one's even out yet, but I'm guessing that it will only be available in small quantities. It's really taking it up the tailpipe on the review circuit, too.

Super Monkey Ball 2 for GCN--I've noticed that this game isn't common, but not exactly impossible to find, either. Kinda straddling the fence.

Here's my best bets on games that will stay both rare and expensive; as you can see from systems like the PSX, there are a lot of very rare games that can be had for 10-20 and under, while games like Puzzle Fighter sell for a ton because it's somewhat rare and desirable. The same is true of games like Airforce Delta Storm. AFDS is not rare - I've personally sold it 4 times, and passed on buying it another 2 times, and I only go to the stores every other week or so.

World of Outlaws for PS2 - not really popular among our circles, but *very* popular and hard-to-find in certain "less-urban" areas of the country.

Cubivore for GC - I've yet to see a copy, and it's very hard to find even on ebay - definitely the rarest GC game so far. Zoocube is also rare, though not quite so.

Phantasy Star Online GC - rare now, though I suspect they'll release more of it once the broadband adapter is out and common, so who knows if it will stay?

Steel Battalion, as mentioned already - it can't be that common at its price. Going to be very much desired.

DDRMax should hold it's value - all of the DDR's so far have been printed at far undersupply, possibly Konamix excluded. Sky Gunner also. Gradius 3+4 is pretty rare for the PS2 at this stage.

[Oobgarm]

Our Gamestop has Cubivore, and has had it since it came out. We've sold out of it at least twice so far. It's great fun, if you have an interest in bizarre games.

[mauigamer]

I read in a game magazine that toys r us will have an exclusive xbox game. I don't remember the name because the reviewer said it sucked.

Is that the US release of "Animal Leader"?

[TougherToast]

What about Ico for PS2?

[kainemaxwell]

I think that game was Sneakers, unless they're doing it again...

[GENESISNES]

What about the PS2 game the adventures of cookies and creme? Only seen it once in a bargin bin, and never saw a review in my mags.

[Six Switch]

id bet guilty gear x and skygunner had lower print runs.

Yea and they are both good games.ANd GGX2 will be rare too I am thinking.

Now that is a fun game.You can have two people play on one controller!It is a short game,but well worth the $15 or $20. :D :hmm: 8-)

THIS IS WHY YOU MUST GET TIPS AND TRICKS MAG :D

[Six Switch]

THIS IS WHY YOU MUST GET TIPS AND TRICKS MAG :D

I love T&T!

What about Mega Man Network 1 and 2 for GBA?I haven't seen too many of those. :hmm:

[brandver3]

See those all the time (Mega man BNW 1 & 2).

What about "Super Bubble Pop" for PSX and GBA.

It came out 2 weeks ago and i had to hunt to find one on the PXS. I've seen it go on Ebay for 30 and it is a $10 title.

Beyblade on the PSX is kind of rare. I grabbed one for future collecting and haven't see one since.

Steel Battalion most definantly because it is rare and fun.

Sea Blade & Outlaw Golf 2 pack. Anyone else seen one? My local EB had one copy.

REZ, I have been searching so long........

Street Fighter Alpha 3 for GBA. I've only seen it the week I came out, I haven't seen one since.

GIatroo Man. Haven't seen it anyware since i got it. Japanese weirdness usually means low print runs. Also and amazing game.

[MankeyMan]

Our Gamestop has Cubivore, and has had it since it came out. We've sold out of it at least twice so far. It's great fun, if you have an interest in bizarre games.

Is that the US release of "Animal Leader"?

It is. And I guess there's as much chance of them releasing that here as there is Animal Crossing.

.

I have senn the Xbox and GBA versions of the game too.I think they will all be rare.


Also VIP for PSX is looking to be rare,and is only $10.

Joe also said In Cold Blood is looking to be rare,glad I got one sealed! :D :hmm:

[Queen Of The Felines]

I wouldn't say VIP is rare. My local Meijer store has about fifty of them in the bargin bin. Must be a regional thing.

Kristine

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

Tons and tons of copies of VIP littering the shelves here as well.

Psx Super bubble pop ? It sells for $15.00 everywhere.

[brandver3]

I searched Jacksonville for, fianlly got one out of town. Must be a regional thing casue round here, it's scarce.

[salt peanuts]

Sol Divide and Gekioh: Shooting King

[FlashStash]

DDR: Disney Rave is going for a pretty penny on eBay....I just picked up a used one for $25 a Gamestop to hang on to. I think this was a very low print run.

FS

[Chunky]

Again for whatever reason our circut city has about 3 rows of REZ for PS2. about 30 copies but still for 49.95. They also have tons and tons more of Mr. Mesquito, Metropolis, Mad Meastro, Harvest moon all for $20. These 4 games have their own bargin bin. I have seen tons more PSO for GC aswell(49.95). have have yet to see a broadband adapter for GC

DDRMax is always off the shelf, keep telling me they sell out all the time.

[Britboy]

I predict Ninja Assault for PS2 will be a lock to be a rare game (complete). Because it has a pack-in Guncon2, it comes in a large and flimsy cardboard secondary box. That means in ten years NOBODY will have this game complete. Except me! :D

you and dp .joe also said that game and other gun packin and even gun games period are usually low run productions

[Oobgarm]

I've noticed Vampire Night is really tough to find. Time Crisis 2 is a bit easier, but not by much.

I found another game NO ONE has mentioned here yet:

RING OF RED for PS2.

I saw it when it came out, "and like that, it was gone."

Just like the original Time Crisis.

Also the Santa game for GBA might be worth a pretty penny. :hmm:

[Oobgarm]

What game is that? I don't recall a Santa game.

[bargora]

I suggest that Doom II for GBA will be uncommon. That one came and went, and I never caught a glimpse of it anywhere in the city. I'll have to go online, I guess. It's too bad, too, because it's supposedly a much better port than the first Doom GBA cart.

Maybe it would have sold more if they had converted the cacodemons into pokemon?

[bargora]

Also the Santa game for GBA might be worth a pretty penny. :hmm:

What game is that? I don't recall a Santa game.
I thought you meant a Satan game, >) but gamefaqs seems to show it as European-only release.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/gbadvance/data/34535.html

Apparently the full title is Santa Claus Jr. Advance.

[Six Switch]

Only Europe eh....

What about Savage Skies for PS2?It is made by Bam!*cough*shit*cough* and is only $25 new at Ebgames.Maybe I should pick it up.... :/

[Six Switch]

Just thought of another:

Resident Evil Code: Veronica X for PS2 WITH the DMC demo disc.Now it is a greatest hit,but the demo no longer comes with it.And I have yet to see a used copy with the demo. :hmm:

[Six Switch]

What about Sonic Adventure 2 Birthday Pack in Japan and the little birthday box thing in America?

Why do I think I am the only person posting here....... :hmm:

[Pheidippides]

My local Captian video has a copy of cubivore(sp?) for the GCN. Would it be worth getting if i can talk them into selling it? It shouldnt be to hard, only 4 of the games they have are not ps2/psx. They dont like GCN/Xbox for some reason.

[Charlie]

As far as Zoocube for the GC goes, I think it was hard to comeby when it first came out, but now I know of seven stores in my area that have it for 19.99 or less (Wal-Mart, Target, Costco, Fred Myers, Best Buy, Circuit City, and Gamestop).

I've yet to see Cubeavore (or however you spell it) at any 'mainstream' store. Only Gamestop has it here.

I'm so convinced that Steel Battaliion will be ultra rare and expensive that I bought one and I'm not planning on opening it. It'll be the perfect centerpiece to an X-Box collection someday. Then again, I'm nutty when it comes to that kind of stuff. I've got ten copies of Indiana Jones for the N64 sitting in a box in my attic. (They were 9.99 at Blockbuster Video and it was buy two, get one free. So I bought them all, plus extra copies of Ogre Battle 64, Razor Scooter, and a few other things. I'm hedging my bets).

[Kairi]

Suikoden III and Phantasy Star Online (for GC)

[dogbert]

What about Sonic Adventure 2 Birthday Pack in Japan and the little birthday box thing in America?

That particular set is plentiful in supply in the Far East - the Hong Kong market has tons & tons of surplus sets from Japan for example. In fact, it's straightforward to get the set + full SA2 game for $10 + shipping.

[Don Rogers]

Soon to be rare for the XBox is Kakuto Chojin since Microsoft recalled it. The game stores (EB and Gamestop) pulled all new and used copies immediately. Some of the department and electronics stores have been selling out of them since news of the recall was released.
