Is there an actual *rare* Xbox game?

[dbiersdorf]

I look at a system like the GameCube, which in a way came out around the same time as the Xbox, has the same graphics and such, but it manages to have a handful of rare titles. Games like Cubivore, Bust a Move 3000, NCAA College Basketball 2K3, Gauntlet Dark Legacy all pull in a pretty nice amount of money on eBay and are extremely hard to come by, but I look at a system like Xbox where I can't put my finger one even one title that can hold the same.

Is there a single Xbox game that is even worth any sort of money then it should be worth? I'm guessing some Capcom fighting games are one of the few if any, but as of now I can't think of one.

I don't know how rare it is but the Xbox Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 sells for a bit on Ebay (I sold a sealed copy there a couple months ago for $70). I know House Of The Dead III used to be rare before it was re-released and Fatal Frame is pretty hard to come by too. Battle Engine Aquila is an impossible one to find.

I think the SNK games like SVC Chaos and Metal Slug 3 may be future Xbox rarities because I ever see them in stores.

Yeah I figured as much, the Dreamcast Capcom fighters were always considered rare, and it would only be a matter of time before the Xbox versions did as well.

Either way I'm glad I picked up Metal Slug 3 when I did.

I know back when i used to work for the local video game store the rarest xbox game was Airforce delta storm, but then the rereleased it about 6 months after it came out.

not that bad of a price really

Personally, I'd keep my eyes on both Phantom Crash and Deathrow. Both had relatively small print runs and were largely shunned not only by the major gaming media, but also by gamers in general. It's a huge plus that both are fantastic games.

There was one game for the Xbox, damnit I can't remember the name but Joe stuck it in that Collectors Closet column of his. Something about it being recalled due to it had part of a religous prayer in the background music and it pissed some people off, I beleave it was re-released just minus the BGM part.
Your gonna have to get Joe or someone else with that issue to give out the title, sorry

for the life of me, i cannot find a copy of toejam and earl III anywhere. i finally found house of the dead III for 15 bucks yesterday, and i hope to duplicate that find with TJ&E, but my hopes are fading fast

[evildead2099]

I can get you several copies of Toejam & Earl 3.

I have not seen a single copy of Silent Hill 2 for the Xbox, nor have I seen any copies of Metal Slug 3.

It's weird how these games are distributed. I don't see TJ&E but there is ALWAYS a copy of Metal Slug 3 in the Gamestop and EB in the mall near my workplace.

Sneakers is pretty hard to come by. Any exclusive titles seem to be difficult to get. I haven't seen one at TRU in a long while now. Of course you can still find them on ebay, but there are usually only a handfull up at a time.

[evildead2099]

Not a single EB store in my area carried any copies of Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix. Ever. I know because I phoned all the local stores and had them phone other stores within 2 hours worth of distance from where I live.

Although it's not really a game, Yourself Fitness will probably be a tough item to find later.

I was thinking that the Fitness game will also become a rarity in the future. How many copies of it could they possibly release. It obviously doesn't sell well and probabley won't get a re print.

I have never seen a copy of TJ&E nor a copy of Metal Slug 3 for sale...I did rent MS3 from blockbuster though.

Its pretty strange, many games people have said they haven't seen I see everywhere and the ones they see I dont??? Definately distributed weirdly. :/

My local Kay-Bee still has a copy for sale for $55!

That's odd I would have no problem getting my hands on a copy of Metal Slug 3 or Silent Hill 2 (seeing as how I own both) but wouldn't be able to run into a Toe Jam for the life of me.
