"Rare" Wii games

[Cirrus]

I couldn't search for the thread (which I'm sure exists) which already discusses this, as "Wii" is under the 4-character lower limit for search terms.

What games are going to be scarce in the future, in the opinion of DPers?

I'm thinking Zack & Wiki won't be too easy to find in about 5 years. Any others?

[Dangerboy]

Zack and Wiki is too wide of a release for rare game - it'll be one of the "in demand games".

No...some of those budget titles will be the freaking obscure rare ones. Hell, I can't even keep track of them anymore.

[PsychoCandy]

I'm sure that as the above poster said, more then a few budget titles will become hard to find in a few years...I'm even holding out hope that maybe one or two of them will be a surprise cult hit or at least playable.

What is the minimum amount of copies a company would even consider releasing? Is 25,000 considered rare, what an R6?

Counter Force is one budget title that seems appealing to me, looks like an on rails dreamcast game. Anyone play that and think its worth $20? also I think later on Endless Ocean will become atleast uncommon.

[Icarus Moonsight]

Off the top of my head I'd have to say Ninja Breadman is the only Wii game I've seen once and only one copy. May just be regional. Then there are the gamestop exclusive Wii titles. With all the speculators nowadays, maybe store exclusives won't pan out as well as they have in the past.

it plays sort of like a bad virtual on game.

Overall, Counter Force has received a 2 out of 10:

I've seen many copies of Ninjabread Man at the Toys R Us Express around here. In fact, that store has every garbage game that's out right now.

I *believe* the game companys themself set a minium for the console.

As for rare games, there is so much budget crap out there being put out so fast right now, it's insane.

Is anybody even trying for a complete collection at this point?

[PsychoCandy]

If I had the cash, I think I'd go for a complete set...but I just really don't have money to blow on shitty 20 dollar games when theres still a few good games I want to buy to play.

Legend has it that Kid Ice has njiska ensconced in his basement dungeon, whom he regularly subjects to cock punches. The Doctor has only seen vague polaroids of an abnormally small Canadian penis surrounded by bruises- but deems the evidence is conclusive enough.

Unbeknownst to the public at large, Mr. Santulli has a trap door in the back room of his store which leads to his true calling: sexy mannequin collecting. He configures them to resemble various forum members in erotic poses.

lmfao...

cock punches!

hilarious!

can i somehow subscribe to everything the doctor posts?

I believe I know a recently released Wii game that will probably be a future (or current) rarity. Ultimate Duck Hunting. Not only have I not seen it around stores anywhere, but it's not common at all on ebay either. Buy it now, and thank me later.

Necro Nesia, AKA Escape From Bug Island, is definately already hard to find. Wal-Marts have sent their copies back, and most Gamestops do not even have it. Another is the Hajime no Ippo game, Victorious Boxers Revolution. I have never even seen one!

[chrisbid]

i believe geometry wars galaxies will be a future rarity. people that normally want to play that game are looking for a cheaper price. the same thing happened to ikaruga on gamecube.

[Rob2600]

Victorious Boxers Revolution. I have never even seen one!

The Best Buy I go to has plenty of copies.

Who makes that one? If Cabela, I'd be surprised if it were THAT rare, but I admit, I haven't seen that one.

What about Dewy's Adventure? I don't remember seeing that in any stores.

Just saw it at Toys R Us today.

Edit: I'm tempted to get Ninjabread Man just for the great box art.

I'm tempted to get it just for the NAME!

Necro Nesia, AKA Escape From Bug Island, is definately already hard to find.

Just got this one at Circuit City for $15, so check your local.

I'm just going by what I've seen. Not just on store shelves, of which I haven't seen any there, but also online. I was on ebay looking at games. I'd see like 50 copies of a fishing game nobody wants, 30 copies of bowling, 20-something copies of (insert random puzzle game), and there was exactly 1 auction for Ultimate Duck Hunting.

Are you sure it's by Cabela? I've seen Cabela's Big Game Hunter on ebay and elsewhere, and it's much, much more common than UDH.

I'm not saying the Duck Hunting qualifies as rare NOW, but the circulation doesn't seem to be very big. So that is my prediction for a future rarity.

Such potential... such a great idea. If only this poster was a little bit funny. I mean c'mon, you have a world of material at your fingertips.

"Sexy mannequin collecting?" Bleh. If you knew about my collection of human teenage slaves you'd see just how watered-down your posts seem to the rest of us, especially on the INSIDE where you should have better information about.

Oh wait...it's 2009 now?

Aw, never mind.
