What about Sonic Pinball Party? I thought it had a low run since it was a Target exclusive. Am I wrong on that? I'd imagine that the 2 in 1 would help keep the price down on the original. I don't see the original very often.
Sonic Pinball Party is tough to get, I remember it being a pain in the ass to find like Sega Rally was at one time.
THey just released a Sonic 2-pack with Sonic Advance 1, and Pinball party. So for anyone just looking to play...
But yeah, Took me forever to track down Pinball party in Canada.
Can anyone confirm that Tiny Toon's Scary Dream is a legit release? I'd like to get this one, but I'd never heard of it (other than the UK release which is impossible to find), and I'm very wary of buying GBA on ebay.
I should mention that Shining Soul I and II are both becoming somewhat scarce. I had to go through GQD to get my hands on Shining Soul I (finally, been checking ebay for months) and when it does pop up it's over $40 BIN, and no one ever bites.
I snagged my copy of Shining Soul II a long time ago, but it seems to be easier to find than Shining Soul I. But then again, these are Atlus games and I'm sure they're in likely the same situation as the Castlevania games.
I saw TT Scary Dream yesterday at my local Sam's. It was actually pre-bundled with an SP and a bunch of accessories. They didn't have it individualy. I'm going out on a limb here, but maybe its hard to find because somebody bought up a lot of the run for this prepackage deal?
Warehouse type places make their own bundles to sell in-store, it's likely Scary Dreams was in there because they tend to grab whatever's on hand (and cheap) to stick in the plastic.
Scary Dreams is in stock and is the US version at www.gamedude.com
If anyone needs it, I will buy it for cost, tax, shipping, and a small fee to go down to the place, probably around $5 for the service.
Conspiracy Entertainment is right near where I worked in Santa Monica!
sonic pinball party was a target exclusive
Bubble Bobble old and new, they have about 100 copies at the local Fry's
A few other toughies:
Maybe Telegames stuff? Urban Yeti, Turbo Turtle, etc
Duke Nukem Advance
I’m glad I’ve held on to some of my boxes then. I have some of the games mentioned and keep the boxes mint. As a matter of fact I normally only slit the plastic enough to get the game out, the rest stays in the box.
Hell, I still have my older Game Boy boxes for games like Dragon Warrior I&II, Final Fantasy Legend II&III.
Take a hike, wang-broom!
I swear I can smell your stinky hands from here!
King of Fighters EX2: Howling Blood

Haven't played it myself, but Gamereviewgod wrote a good review on it here:

If you can find it at GameStop or EB, it's much cheaper at those stores - I got my copy at GameStop for $6.99, I believe EB charges $8 or so.
I was at the gamestore the other day and i saw mario party advance with a "not for resale" box, would that be rare? i could probably get it.
TOo much talk about common RPGS in here !
I was gonna come in here and say Breath of Fire (well, I guess I just did), but if it's not that hard to snag a complete copy I would love to be proved wrong. I'm not in it for the rarity, I just want the freakin game.TOo much talk about common RPGS in here !
Any of the "big name" games are not rare. That includes Final Fantasies, Castlevanias, Dragon Warriors, Breath of Fires, stuff like that.
I never claimed any of them were rare, but I am claiming that it's a hell of a time getting a complete copy of Breath of Fire, at any price. And furthermore, just because it's a well known title doesn't mean it ever sold well to warrant a large print run.
Like I said, I'd love to be proven wrong.
What about:
No Rules Get Phat: Starring One Eye Jack
Lady Sia
Invincible Iron Man
???
No Rules came with a mini skateboard in the box, which I thought was amusing the one and only time I saw it because it demurely advertised how bad the game was.
I also feel the 3rd party SNES ports will be hard to find in general:
Aero the Acro-Bat
Prehistoric Man
Phalanx
Unfortunately I don't have any publishing numbers nor have I been following them on ebay too much, I can only relate having seen these briefly during 2001/02 and never since in any retail outlet.
I see these at EB's fairly often gathering dust. Hard to say if they're hard to find when I see them in the same stores for two years.
Aero was published by Metro 3D and pretty much anything they release will have low runs. PM is always on eBay though I rarely see it in stores. Phalanx I've seen at a few KBs but since they've been unloading their remaining games it will definitely be getting harder to find.I also feel the 3rd party SNES ports will be hard to find in general:

Well, if you are talking about "complete" copies, it's a different rarity system. A lot of people throw away the boxes and manuals for Game Boy related items. It does not necessarily need to be "proven" persay, because the company that made it speaks for itself. Capcom has had normal prints runs on their newer titles for awhile. Even stuff like Shantae for GBC that people thought was hard to find, can be found readily out here. Why do you ask? Capcom's West Coast distributor is located out here, and they buy large quantities of EVERYTHING. Resident Evil 2/3 re-release on GCN? It's from ONE distributor here. Same one where Game Quest Direct gets most of their stuff.
Plain and simple, Breath of Fire is not "rare" if it's on eBay, on amazon, on Half.com, etc....It might be a bit more difficult to locate through normal channels, but certainly not a tough game to find overall.
