We know what the rarity guides say, but do you agree or disagree? Let's limit this to US legit Nintendo releases only (i.e. no Sachen, Tegen, Wisdom Tree, etc) because I have a feeling that those releases might dominate the list.
Top 10 Rarest (Nintendo) Games for the NES?
We know what the rarity guides say, but do you agree or disagree? Let's limit this to US legit Nintendo releases only (i.e. no Sachen, Tegen, Wisdom Tree, etc) because I have a feeling that those releases might dominate the list.
Stadium Events
Stack Up (if its complete)
Flintstones 2
Bonks Adventure
Little Samson
Princess Tomato
Pro Sport Hockey
Fire N Ice
Pesterminator
Wayne's World
Those are the ones that I see the least of the licensed games. Bubble Bobble 2 is supposed to be rare but I see that one alot so I don't know.
Maybe Princess Tomato is just regional, because I see it all the time here in Las Vegas. I wouldn't consider that one very rare at all.
Your list seems pretty good, but I'd replace Princess Tomato with Panic Restaurant.
Oh, and Pesterminator doesn't count (there are much rarer Color Dreams games anyway), so I'd replace that with Bubble Bobble 2.
Doh, I actually meant to put Panic Restaurant instead of Pesterminator.
That is interesting about Princess Tomato though. I have never seen that game in the wild for any price.
I never saw any of those games in the wild. I rarely see anything but commons with an occasional r4-5 in the mix.
Stadium Events
Stack Up (if its complete) IVe seen this loose in the wid a few times
Flintstones 2
Bonks Adventure Iv seen and owned this one
Little Samson
Princess Tomato seen this one a few time wild
Pro Sport Hockey
Fire N Ice had and seen in wild many times even complete
Pesterminator
Wayne's World seen in wild
arent the panesian games rare? or not AS rare as the ones on the list?
Somebody once told me to get a life.
I told them I sold it for money to buy video games.
GenesisNES: This is licensced games only. But the Panesians certainly are up there in rarity, no doubt.
This is a pretty accurate list, I'd say. Princess Tomato IS a hard-to-find game, but I think its nowhere NEAR as rare as say, Flintstones 2. I've never come across Fire N Ice at any price!! I can see why Wayne's World is so hard to find--it is purely AWFUL!!!Well, so is Princess Tomato, but at least its playable.

I dont want to make a topic for this but could someone tell me if the sachen gameboy 4in1 cartridges are considered rare? I happened to get a pocket gameboy with quest for camelot and that one (ant soldier, skyrace, dan laser and zoo block). I would appreciate any info on that since I couldnt find anything on google.
I agree with most of this list:
Stadium Events
Stack Up (if its complete)
Flintstones 2
Bonks Adventure
Little Samson
Princess Tomato
Pro Sport Hockey
Fire N Ice
Panic Restaurant
Wayne's World
Of those I have yet to see a Stadium Events running around looking for a home. But I have found a mint complete Fire 'n Ice (great game) and a mint complete Stack Up (with the original receipt from Nintendo). Other items that are a pain to find is the compete Miracle Piano setup, Bubble Bobble II- was a hard to find complete, Rainbow Islands- I have seen a couple times, and Mermaids of Atlantus- though we're not counting that.
The only other games that I might wonder about are the old NES carts with the Famicom adaptor built in but that is getting a bit nit picky I suppose ~_^
Princess Tomato
Its funny that you should that. It was in fact the companies best selling NES title. While I have only seen a few in the wild it is ALWAYS on ebay at least one copy every week.

I went and checked and I still have a few copies of Princess Tomato sealed.
Ebay time
Adam
Hell there's a princess tomato on ebay right now, cart only, up to 26 bucks
Oddly enough I believe that you got one of those from me ;-)I went and checked and I still have a few copies of Princess Tomato sealed.
Buyatari- Please check your private messages, I sent you one! I cannot believe you have a new and sealed Princess Tomato! I really want to buy it from you! Please reply with a price, thanks!!!

It Little Samson really that rare? I have a complete copy... I've had it for a long time too. Guess I lucked out.
I have a few Famicom carts that are pretty rare including a couple pirate carts made in Turkey.

I always had a hard time finding a complete copy of Chubby Cherub.
Thanks
