Rare GBA games.

[lurknomore]

I'm under the assumption that most GBA games are printed in a limited run; however, there are some that are severely limited. Just wanted to know if there were some titles that came to mind. Through my experience, these are some that are at a premium for whatever reason. I'm speaking to complete sets, not cart only.

1)Some Bratz! title.
2)Phantasy Star Collection
3)Caesars Palace
4)Pinball of the Dead

I have heard that Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance is in demand, but I have seen copies of that floating around. It's demand is created more because of the quality of the game than the limited supply, me thinks.

[rebenns]

Much of the Harmonies floating around are fakes. Genuine copies are quite rare. Same with Aria of Sorrow, though this game can still be found in many places, in a few months it will be as hard to find as Harmony. There are also a bunch of fake Arias.

Yea I have been looking for several weeks for a legit Aria of sorrow for less than its retail price, luckally a local store still has copies. EBgames is selling Aria used for 34.99. The Pinball of the dead i have seen in several places recently in the discount/bargain bin same with PS collection

[SolinariDotCom]

My Toys R Us is like digging in to the ground to look at the various fossil layers - you can see the past.

I see Aria of Sorrow, PSC, all there! Just at retail price, of course.

Pinball of the Dead is not rare here. I bought 2 used copies complete with everything. But I haven't really found a NEW copy though

[TheRock88]

Just wondering, but how are they fake?

[Mr Unoriginal]

Just wondering, but how are they fake?

They are bootleg copies that are generally made in Korea. The biggest problem is they use a really ghetto battery pack so it probably won't save for very long, if at all.

[btantra]

straight to the point, basically, on ebay don't buy from this guy

http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=stylesa ndgames&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50

All fake and look the way he sell his stuff, all private, all hidden. He's selling fake gameboy games. I just wish people can tell the difference and report him to ebay.

[divine_comedy]

Ebay won't care, look at the guy's feedback, he is probably generating tons of income for them. And even if you got shut down, you can always come back in a different name

[lurknomore]

Report this to Nintendo...and they'll act on it.

[btantra]

Yeah, I made a separate post for reporting to this guy

I forgot to mention that Worms World Party is very rare too

[oddfella]

They had WWP at my KB Toys this weekend when i was checking out the sale.

[cag1000]

im looking for a complete tactic ogre for under 30 used and opened but that game seems to be the rarest GBA i have found yet. complete ones even rare on ebay

[CaseyRyback]

I still have my Tactics Ogre sealed

[cag1000]

what do u want for ur selaed ogre tactics

[YoshiFan1]

Sonic Pinball Party is rare too

[Gothic Walrus]

There are only two Rare GBA games: Donkey Kong Country and Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge.

:D

Other than that...why do you care? Anything that's mass-produced in the quantities that video games are will most likely never be rare.

Then again...that's just my $.02. No flaming the innocent Walrus, please.

:D


I was originally going to say that Grunty's Revenge overflows at my CC but then I realized the joke.

I'm such a dumbass.

[SneakyPenguin]

i can get a sealed tactics ogre for 40, a sealed duke nukem advance for 30, and got chu chu rocket new (display copy) for 20. i heard these are pretty hard to find. this true?

[CaseyRyback]

what do u want for ur selaed ogre tactics there is no way I am gettin rid of it but if Gamestop near me has any left I will PM you

[YoshiFan1]

The first 2 are hard to find. You can get Chu Chu Rocket for $18 plus shipping sealed on Half.com so it's a little hard to find in stores but online not as difficult to find.

[Excalibur]

I'd say Ninja Five-O iand Klonoa: Empire of Dreams are both fairly rare, but it seems as though certain Targets now have Klonoa.

I highly doubt Klonoa is... there are 5 copies on the shelf at my local target for $15 each.

[FlipSide]

Shinning Soul
CIMA: The enemy
Castlevania:HoD
Gradius Galaxies
Tactics Ogre

are all oop..

[magilacudy]

I've seen a bunch of Tactics Ogre and Castlevania HoD's randomly, off the top of my head I think they were 'on sale' for $30 at Compusa.

[Theenternal]

My friend just sold his tactics on ebay, sealed and only got 30, he has about 200 99% feedback :roll:

[YoshiFan1]

Ebay auctions also have to do with timing. If the auction ended at a bad time (like during the day or on a Saturday night) that could be why it only went for $30.

[KingDox]

I have Gradius Galaxies , got it for 15 bucks at CC awhile back. I also hear that Street Fighter:turbo Revival is rare.

[loserboy]

For those truly interested...

My gamestop has Pinball of the Dead NEW for $9.99. They also have Tactics Ogre NEW for $24.99. If anyone is interested in these let me know and I'd be happy to see how many copies they have left, etc.

[SolinariDotCom]

Local K-Mart has PSCollection for 19.99 new.. Not a grand deal or anything - but there's a new copy.
