[goatindaruffness]

The most racist game would be Mary Kate and Asley Sweet 16 License to Drive...
Well maybe not racist, but thinking ANYONE, even young white girls, would enjoy that game, is completely WRONG...

[rebenns]

The original release of PSO 1 + II is tough to find, though the superior Plus version is everywhere now.

[chickenhawk]

spirits and spells i think its called. that and space raiders, and ncaa basketball 2k3

Space Raiders is rare? I have seen it at every Gamestop I've been to since it was released.

[punqsux]

I'm sure BigNick got some enjoyment out of the game.

[ZForce915]

NCAA 2K3 doesn't sell for as much as it once did. You can snag one for less than 30 if you wait long enough on ebay.

[drone8888]

NCAA Basketball 2k3
Bust a Move 3000
Gauntlet Legends
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3
Spirits and Spells
Cubivore
Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure
Phantasy Star Online 1+2 (original)


Ikaruga is getting harder to find. Same with Resident Evil Code Veronica X, Pool Paradise, and the Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition.

Skies of Arcadia was rare,.. until they rereleaased it.

:)

[Noodle Pirate!]

Gotcha Force is hard to find.

[Gameboy415]

Not sure if you'd consider it RARE, but the Gamecube version of "Blowout" (a budget Contra clone) seems to be harder to find than the XBOX and PS2 counterparts.

Btw, has anyone actually played "Spirits and Spells"?

On a side note, Space Raiders is really simple, but its pretty fun and looks really good for a budget title. The opening movie is VERY cool.

[dutch72]

What about Buffy the Vampire Slayer I heard It was Rare..Anyone else ??

[rajchakrabarti]

as mentioned before... Resident evil 2 is hard to find .... espeically cheap.

[chrono111]

Rally Championship is hard to find locally ..

http://cover6.cduniverse.com/MuzeGamesArt/21/636321.jpg

[epobirs]

Trichinosis: The Raw Pork Adventure.

It doesn't come any rarer than raw.

[Weedy649]

Resident Evil 2 has been an itch to find for me. I refuse to pay 70 bucks for that game but hopefully i can find it for 30 like i did Resident Evil 3. When I do my Resident Evil cube collection will be complete...once 4 comes out^^

[Bastion]

I believe Gauntlet Dark Legacy is quite rare on Gamecube.

[Tromack]

Super Smash Bros. Melee. That fucker is impossible to find.

[chickenhawk]

What about Buffy the Vampire Slayer I heard It was Rare..Anyone else ??

Yeah, I heard that one was kinda rare too. I think a while back I saw some used auctions for it going for about $40.

[Rig]

Super Smash Bros. Melee. That shaq-fuer is impossible to find.

Really? I was sure that was going to be a high-profile game. I thought it would sell millions of copies. :)

[Monsta Mack]

Resident Evil 2 and 3 are in low production and high demand, not sure about Code X.


One of the ESPN Basketball games
Top Angler Real Bass Fishing (goes for 35+ on eBay)
Zelda Col. Edition (Not really rare, just high in demand)
Buffy Chaos Bleeds
Bioncle The Game (?)
I've seen a few people bid high on Pokemon Box, and isn't that still avaibile for 9.99?

A few promo items, namingly the Tales of Symphonia pre-order art guide, goes for $30 sometimes on eBay.

That's all I can think of for now.

[cgpwns]

Cubivore is rare isn't it?

[ViolentLee]

Definitely Cubivore. Atlus only made about 5,000 copies. They actually needed to get special permission from Nintendo to publish so few of them.

Like most Atlus games, it's pretty good. Very neat concept of eating other animals and evolving into different forms. Bad thing is the graphics are literally N64-quality.

[Mishimaryu]

Ikaruga is hard to find new.

[Trakan]

NCAA Basketball 2k3

[MM3_XBOX]

I see about 5 copies of Cubivore at all the Sam's Club stores i go to here around Dayton Ohio....Ikaruga is one i rarely see, along with RE2 and 3

[tyecko]

Do u think I should buy a copy of NCAA on tht site and sell it somewhere for more?

[Ebraum]

Thanks CC sale !!

1. Nintendo made it, Atlus just published it in the states.
2. It was originally an N64 game, hence the graphics.

[1SwtDeception]

In California I remember seeomg Ikaruga a lot.. and I remember it was at Fry's for $20 and I guess from that it never seem so "rare" to me..( and probably cause I own it as well). I think most of the "rarest" GC games has already been said so no need to repeat.

[jbroush99]

VGD has Cubivore in stock for $33.97 shipped ($29.98 is 2 cents short of getting free shipping).

[Nirvanaguy777]

[smartasien]

Thanks CC sale !!

http://img22.exs.cx/img22/7587/REcube1.jpg

Too bad you opened them, this coulda been a perfect collection :( still nice though

[Zenithian Legend]

I know Super Squeezed Monkey Nuts is VERY rare. I think I have the only copy known in existence.

:rofl:

Why did that make me laugh so hard... anyway back to Spirits & Spells, is that game really rare? Looks kind of like a game targetted at younger players though, so I probably won't pick that one up.

It's not high in production, but I've seen about 5 or 6 copies at my local Sams Club for $13.

[trunks982]

super squeezed monkey nuts? never heard of it. u serious that they have that such game? what is it about and who developed/published it?

[zionoverfire]

I know the rarest game must be Catwoman. I don't know a sole with that in thier collection! :wink:

[buddy the puppy]

I think someone needs to pass some smelling salts or something to trunks982. :shock:

[Mospeada_21]

Star Wars: Jedi Knight II, Jedi Outcast? tough to come by new. still maintains a fairly high price, new or used.

I too have all 5 RE games for cube. 8)

I was able to get RE2 off Capcom's website for $29.99 with free shipping back in May when I heard it was getting hard to find. Boo ya.

[rafissaying]

i picked up RE 2 yesterday for 29.99 in probably the best condition that i've seen a used game. its a hard game to find at B&M stores but once you find it you can get it a pretty decent price.

I can't believe it's for sale at that price. I thought they only put it at outrageous prices when it was sold out and or not coming back.
At least the shipping is free!

EDIT: I just sent them an email asking for an explanation of the price and whether it is actually available. I doubt they will respond though.

[CappyCobra]

Definatley keep us posted on that jbroush. With 'deals' like that and the ones from eBay, I should create a spin-off of CAG. I shall dub it www.blingassgamer.com or BAG. What do you think CheapyD? :grin:

999.95 USD for GC RE2? :rofl:

[SoulEdgeVII]

Is Rayman 3 : Hoodlum Havoc rare? I want it and I can't find a place that has it. Discontinued to boot.

[Follandboy]

If anyone is looking for NCAA Basketball 2K3 I have three used copies of it. I bought them about 6 months ago at Ebgames.com for $14.99 each. I have been waiting for them to go up in price so that I can resell them. It was going for around $40 on Ebay last I looked. I am waiting until the beginning of the college basketball season and since EA is not porting their college bball game to the cube, hopefully this game will go up in price. If anyone is intrested, I will sell you a copy for $40, but I'm holding on to the other two.

[ViolentLee]

Definitely Cubivore. Atlus only made about 5,000 copies. They actually needed to get special permission from Nintendo to publish so few of them.

Like most Atlus games, it's pretty good. Very neat concept of eating other animals and evolving into different forms. Bad thing is the graphics are literally N64-quality.

1. Nintendo made it, Atlus just published it in the states.
2. It was originally an N64 game, hence the graphics.

1. Do you mean Nintendo manufactured it or developed it? It was an outside developer who used to be a mainstay at Nintendo. As for manufacturing, Nintendo manufactures ALL GameCube games. That's why Atlus needed special permission.
2. Hence the term literally. I don't misuse that word.

[johnnyoski]

I may be wrong, but Goblin Commander is not too easy to find for the Cube. I saw a few copies when it was first released and that was it.

[Mospeada_21]

Yup, i can confirm that too. GC Goblin Commander: Unleash the Horde is tough to come by.

ViolentLee, do you have insight on how many copies Nintendo typically manufactures? Say on popular titles like MP2, or titles like Goblin Commander? Thanks.

[punqsux]

wow its hard to believe theres only 5,000 copies of cubivore...i feel bad for all the cube owners that dont have it, since its an intresting game.

to put it in scope, castlevania chronicles (which is REALLY hard to find had a pressing for 20 or 30,000, its hard to believe a game would get a smaller pressing than that because 20k is already tiny....however id have to say castlevania was better than cubivore.

[Josef]

I'm not sure on the actual rarity of these GC titles, but I do know I've rarely seen them in stores:

Auto Modellista
Buffy: Chaos Bleeds
Conflict Desert Storm 2
Disney Sports Soccer (actually, most of the Disney Sports games)
Gauntlet Dark Legacy
Goblin Commander
Gotcha Force
Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer
Lotus Challenge
Pro Rally 2002
Samurai Jack: The Shadow of Aku
Speed Kings
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
The Sum of All Fears

[ViolentLee]

I don't have that info, Mospeada. I only knew the Cubivore info because I have a friend who works at Atlus. That would be interesting information to find out, but I'm pretty sure it's closely guarded -- even more so than sales figures.

[My Name Is BoB]

I highly doubt they only made 5,000, considering when the game first came out my local hastings had about 5 copies to rent and another 5 to buy. You're telling me that that hastings had 0.2% of all the cubivore games in existence?

[ViolentLee]

I'm just telling you what I heard from someone who works at Atlus USA. And it's not "in existence," but "in the US."

[DigitalSpace]

Cubivore and NCAA 2K3 are definitely going to be among the rarest titles for the GC. I have yet to see a copy of those in person.

As for Rayman 3, I see it every now and then - I wouldn't say it's rare, but it seems to be scarce.

[tolhurst]

It would probably bother you to know that the Tower on Gateway (in Portland) had ncaa Basketball 2k3 for the cube for 14.99 for well over a month (since the clearance sale), I thought about buying it, but it looked resealed and I wouldn't have bought it to play it or intend to collect games based on bragging to possibly 2 (or is it 3) people in the world who would actually care anyways.

Cubivore can be found at some of the many Gamestops (the strip mall locations) all the time. Portland(and vancouver) is rather populated with games stores, it seems. Many games touted as rare on here I see around but with $ EB's 8-10 game stops, 8-10 gamecrazys, countless Fred Meyers, 10+ targets, etc, etc. (and a Fry's) Finding current gen games isn't much of a problem.

Many of those budget games are hard to find as many places don't carry them in the first place....
Ncaa Basketball 2k3 I have only seen a couple times, I would agree Buffy is scarce, Cubivore wasn't really sold outside of Gamestop and EB,... still these games don't even resell for their release price, and many of the afroementioned hard to find games are multi-platform which will prevent them from escalating in value too much in the long term, either.

[BlueStorm781]

I'm suprised nobody said City Racer. It was published by UbiSoft in 2003 with little to no fanfare, and the only place I've seen it was at the Gamestop closest to me. There are no reviews published by IGN, Gamespot and Gamespy for this game, which probably means finding a copy of this game was a pretty tough task (that, or just sheer laziness).

Transworld Surf: Second Wave is another one that had a quiet release, sold very little copies and hasn't been seen on many store shelves.

BVS: Chaos Bleeds is also pretty rare for the Gamecube, but I've seen this sold in a few game stores, so it's not scarce, just pricey.

[rabbitt]

Cubivore seems to pop up in my EBgames from time-to-time, but I already own one. I would say NCAA 2k3 is probably the toughest game to find right now, but PSO Episode 1 & 2 is really uncommon. Luckily got mine from a trader on TGN.

[float_on64]

I can not find sonic andventure any where.

[Gothic Walrus]

I can not find sonic andventure any where.

It's not even remotely rare. Hell, I don't think any of the Sonic GC games are.

[Wet Ninja]

NCAA 2k3 - $20 (new?!?!?! :shock:)
http://www.gamezoneusa.com/catalog/default.asp?product=11869&name=NCAA%20College%20Ba sketball%202K3

Is that site reliable? I was thinking about buying a GBA game from them, but couldn't find any ratings on them on Bizrate.

[Apossum]

I'm having a hell of a time finding a Zelda 4 in 1 for less than $40, but they are all over the place.

I think Beyond Good And Evil is getting rare. It's one of those games that everyone will hunt for in a few years. total sleeper.
