Trying to complie a list of sought after rare Wii games as well as ones that are rare but not popular and need people to chime in. RARE SOUGHT AFTER; Metroid Trilogy One Piece; unlimited adventures RARE BUT NOT SOUGHT AFTER; Okami Debatable IMO: Any Shonen Jump game including Bleach Shattered Blade, Naruto CONR III as well as possibly first 2. While these games are cheap, they have been hard to find even at gamestop.

Basically any quality 3rd party game that has been re;eased over the years, the only Wii games I constantly see on store shelves are Nintendo titles.

I speak from a EU perspective.

Haven't seen Radiant Dawn in over a year at retail.

Most of the game listed can be bought on amazon new for under 20 bucks if you're ever having trouble finding a game amazon can be a great tool!

Not sure if Boy and his blob is rare, some of them may of got rereleased though. I can guarantee you will not find Metroid Prime Trilogy or One piece on Amazon or Ebay for under $50 used, and they go for as much as $80 new factory sealed.

Guess it depends on where you live.

I can buy LKS, Sakura Wars, A boy and his Blob and Rune Factory right now for around 15£ each if I wanted more copies of them.

Little King Story is on clearance many places here for $10 or less. Okami is weirdly rare, though I got my copy for $5 via Goozex without much hassle.

I was considering getting Okami but didnt know how good it was, but locally in the gamestop stores they seem quite common although they are all used.

You can find the PC version anywhere, the Wii version however is a significantly harder find.

What would price have to do with anything? :P The only reason a rare game would be priced higher is if it was in demand, theres not really any reason for the Wii version of Pirates to be in demand, its just a rare game :P

Thats what I figured, but when I look back at past consoles like NES and SNES, their is high price for even crappy games that was pretty rare. I mean for the Wii, Bleach and Naruto CONR I-3 is quite difficult to find yet only go for about $25 used. I thought normally even from the collector stand point that those games would be much higher priced.

I found a copy of Trilogy last night http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=120691688966&si=KJhFMawdD6IiK9HT6yjix6xujyc%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT for $55 in like new condition. Cant find it any cheaper unless you find a GS store that has it. I sit on my butt too long and passed up a $55 Onepiece game that was in the same condition as well, I rather of gotten that and waited on the Metroid game.

its all about what is worth a boat load down the road. I dont wanna make comparisons to a sealed SNES Chrono Trigger, but something close to that caliber.

before I even gave looking for rare titles a 2nd thought, I would see Trilogy all over the place myself. I am still seeing Fire Emblem around though sealed and new in Wal Mart stores. Now all of a sudden its $55 unless you manage to snag a copy from gamestop.

You are right. I think fire emblem still costs a pretty penny, but most of those games are like $20 new and like half that price if you buy used.

attention anyone looking for Wii games u cant find in store... Go to amazon or ebay. you can find them, new/used, dirt cheap. I spent less then $20 on each: Boy and blob, muramasa, madworld, little kings story, okami., red steel 2... ( i have 47 disc games for Wii right now) . some games like the above mention MPtrilogy is like $70 on ebay, used. but most are just 3rd party indie titles that are great games but when released next to mario and zelda, dont look so great.

Is this really the rare gamestop exclusive version?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p5197.c0.m619&rt=nc&nma=true&item=290540765956&si=KJhFMawdD6IiK9HT6yjix6xujyc%253D&viewitem=&category=139973

so far in obtaining Metroid Prime Trilogy, Onepiece unlimited adventures, and F1 2009.

This is the values I paid for them used and complete

F1 2009 Formula 1 - $48

Metroid Prime Trilogy - $55

Onepiece Unlimited Adventures - $45

Although with all 3 coming from Ebay, these prices vary a good bit in what people pay for them, Ive seen people pay up to $60 for onepiece with case art and manual, then I see some people win the auction and pay as little as $41 for it. F1 same way, Metroid Prime Trilogy seems to be the one that rarely goes under $50 used though and yet it seemed more common than F1 and Onepiece.

Those 3 games seem to be the holy grail of Wii games in terms of rarity IMO, I need to know if more exist like this.

I thought I'd add my two cents to this topic as it's something I've actively research for the past couple years off and on...

In terms of true rarity (essentially short supply) and taking some account of the general resale price for new or used copies (whether it truly sells or not), it seems to me that these would fall in the scope of top ten "rare" games for Wii (at least in the North American market)

1. Fritz Chess
2. One Piece: Unlimited Adventure
3. F1 2009
4. Rune Factory: Frontier
5. My Horse and Me: Riding for Gold
6. DragonBall Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3
7. Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core Plus
8. My Horse and Me
9. Dokapon Kingdom
10. Beyblade: Metal Fusion - Battle Fortress

Notice Nintendo games aren't included because while they are OOP and in demand, the release numbers were relatively huge in comparison to these titles. Try finding a copy of Fritz Chess tomorrow and don't tell me you didn't pay nearly $100 for it (if more). That game is a nearly impossible find. F1 2009 was not only a Gamestop Exclusive, Gamestop barely carried any copies when it did come out. I'm surprised the PSP version isn't worth as much, but PSP collectors aren't up to the level of the Nintendo crowd I guess.

sarentack

It isn't a Real-time strategy game, either. It is a turn based strategy RPG that has not hack and slash elements, other than the fact that they use swords in both games. Are you sure you are thinking of Fire Emblem? Check this gameplay movie:
