Rarest Game You Own?

I want this game so bad, I wish I would have never chosen the Mario Hat over it.
If the Wii to Wii U transferring works similarly to DSi to 3DS transferring, I'd seriously pay or trade someone to let me take the game off of their Wii, lol.As far as my rarest game...I'm really not sure. I see people are saying both Metroid Prime: Trilogy and Tetris DS are pretty rare now, and I own both. And I have two Pokémon mini games, Pokémon Party mini and Pokémon Zani Cards.

there needs to be a collector gaf topic i dont think there is one up
Rare? Nothing too much.
Gundam Sidestory for Dreamcast is probably the rarest i have. A copy of Spiderman 2: enter electro for ps1 with the world trade center still in (it was edited out after 9/11) is probably also fairly rare.
Anything else rare i have is probably because no one would actually want it. Its probably hard to find the PS1 inuyasha fighting game, but really, who would want it?

And this...I remember wanting this really bad awhile back. Now even more so I could have it in my 3DS's Activity Log. XD
Zelda: Twilight Princess E3 2005 trailer for DS.
Anyone know how often these turn up on eBay or other sites? I just looked and didn't see any available at the moment, not sure exactly how rare they are but apparently they usually go for around $140-150.

And even i am moderately surprised
I own a one off game made for my by the Tokyopia crowd - not sure that counts! lol
beyond that - rarest would have been something like Eliminate Down, Iron Commando, Rendering Ranger, Cannon Dancer, Tobe! Polystars! , Magic Girl, or something along those lines but almost anything rare i've sold.
I still have Border Down, Panzer Dragoon Saga etc but i don't particularly think those are really -rare-. If you want them, you can get them (actually - same for most the ones i listed anyways so ....)
Marty's however is catagorically rare - I assume Marty is on Shou's list of owners lol.

Not incredibly rare or valuable but I had a hard time finding it even when it was in print.
Snk vs Capcom: Match of the Millennium for the Neo-geo pocket color.
I could always find the damn card game but when it came to the fighting game, it was tough to find. Still is, if you're looking for the full package (US version).

The rarest games I own are probably Final Fantasy II and III for SNES, Earthbound, a non-functional Super Mario RPG cartridge, Gradius III, Street Fighter Alpha 2 (PAL, complete with box, manual and everything), Ikaruga (GC), Metal Gear Solid TTS and Skies of Arcadia Legends.
And Baten Kaitos and Tales of Symphonia,
Also I'm not sure but could it be that Prince of Persia The Two Thrones for GameCube is pretty rare (at least in PAL territories)? I'm looking for it for ages and have only ever found the PS2 version.

I seriously doubt we'll ever get a digital release of this game, making it one of the rarest PSX games on the market.
I'll take that bet. How much?

Does RE: Gaiden count?
Probably this:
I have a beta eeprom card of the NTSC version of that game. I think it was a few months before final.
Not that rare but here they are, have some rarest stuff in a basement somewhere
I wants it...

Pokemon Yellow or Leaf Green
I can never find leaf green or fire red anywhere
No, I was saying that I would take the bet that he didn't feel it would ever be released digitally. My question was how much would he like to bet?
It's not worth much, and I have no clue how many copies sold...
Major League Baseball 2K5: World Series Edition (the re-release after 2K/Sega had lost the ESPN license)
I still feel it's the best baseball game available (I purchase The Show every season; doesn't feel as good), and it's a shame it's not backward compatible on the 360.

Yeah I have the first print one with the CD included, and the pretty cardboard box

Yeah, it is probably close to the final ROM of the NES version, but i always can check. What is the difference between the characters?Oh wow that is definitely cool
That is how it is in the Famicom version yes. Do you know if it also has the Famicom character designs as well? Because they changed a couple of the main characters' sprites for the western release, including the guy you start out with. I assume not, but that would be really cool and actually drive up the price of that prototype quite a lot among collectors I would imagine
Always nice to see a PCB that actually fills up an entire NES cart as well.
Hehe, to open the blister packs can be a pain indeed, but i actually really like how those NES blister packs looks
It is good for collection purposes.For the record he was asking about the Panzer Dragoon Orta themed Xbox console, not just the game. Pretty sure they were only for Japan, no idea what the run quantity was.
And my rarest item is probably Panzer Dragoon Saga, 1st pressing. Bought it at release, completely clueless of its rarity at the time.
1000 units, I have one sealed
A lot of things
Some Aes carts I own
And a very rare neogeo aes (low serial)
mgs peacewalker pack (1200 units I think) and RE5 limited edition
PO konamystyle pack (2500 units)
Lightning ps3
A beautiful machine, the "famous" psx (a fail in japan)
Konamystyle anubis (zoe2)
mgs3 premium pack, zoe1 premium pack and others
I have the 3 famicom mini boxes completed (I don't have pictures actually)
Ps2 automobile (666 units of each model), I have white, blue and yellow, all are "satin" (I don't know how to say it)
Final fantasy 7 advent pieces (10.000 units)
sixaxis proto (not modded originally sony wants to put a led in the home button)
And many more, if someone wants a detailed picture of something I'll try to get one.
Edit: I'll try to rehost the tiny pic pictures
This is what the charcters look like in the western release:
To the right here is how Bop-louie looked in the Japanese version:
I can't find a good gameplay picture of the other dude, but that red/orange dragon character was changed from some sort of cat character. Here's the japanese title screen with all the characters:

Cool
I just checked and there isnt any different in the character, at least for Bop Louie. I do think i've beaten this prototype cart a few years ago if i remember correctly, and i cant remember to see any difference in that dragon character either. So this is probably the final ROM sent for certification, but then something was censored. I have another NES prototype like this, Formula 1 Sensastion. In the prototype, this game has the undertitle "Race with the Devil", but this was removed in the retail version.Ok, that's what I thought. I do wonder why they decided to change the characters like that but I suppose that decision was made even before they started converting it for PAL. Hebereke was kind of a brand character for Sunsoft in Japan, so it's weird they didn't try to make him one in the west too.Cool
Hahaha no wonder
I've never really been interested in collecting prototypes myself, but things like these make me understand why people would do it.

Some Koji Pro stuff
It's a shame that it's so difficult to know how rare something is. Obviously that isn't the same as 'how valuable'.
Like, somehow I suspect my copy of Pretty Fighter X on the Saturn is rarer than my two EU copies of Panzer Dragoon Saga, but it's also probably pretty worthless.
Some other oddities:
Giftpia (GC JP)
Homeland (GC JP) (the beta version of this is of course much rarer, I don't have that)
Cubivore (GC US)
Chulip (US PS2)
Mojib Ribbon (JP PS2)
Space Channel 5 (PAL PS2)
Space Channel 5 part 2 (PAL/AUS PS2)
SOS The Final Escape (French only box/manual PAL PS2)
edit: oh, and my GBA is relative uncommon:
Any of these actually rare?

Suikoden II (PSX) and Ninja Five-0 (GBA). I also have Radiant Historia for DS. Not sure if any of may NES games are rare so not mentioning them.
I have one of those.
And just to make it worse for those who like it, I consider the game mediocre at best. And no, you can't have it.
No, I was saying that I would take the bet that he didn't feel it would ever be released digitally. My question was how much would he like to bet?
Could this be a hint at something?
I have a copy of the unedited/non-recalled version LittleBigPlanet that still has that amazing song with Arabic verses from the Quran in it.
Link to song.
I got a prerelease copy before all copies were recalled back. I guess it's rare.

So in other words, this is the only game that you own?
Maybe they thought some of the figures would be more appealing in the west somehow if they changed them. Same reason for why the name of the game was also changed.
Yep, this is what i really like with prototypes and sample carts, to see the difference (if there is any) from the retail versionHahaha no wonder
I've never really been interested in collecting prototypes myself, but things like these make me understand why people would do it.
I'm not a big prototype collector myself though, that cost too much money for it.It is just a question of what the rarest game someone has. If someone owns two games, Call of Duty: World at War and Black Ops, then WaW is the rarest game that they ownWhat's the definition of rare.
Many items i'm seeing here are available on ebay.
And if you have the money nothing is rare
I know what you mean, but money doesnt really define rarity. Rarity is just in relation to other things, how easy or hard it is to come by it.

Rarest I have is probably my Street Fighter 2 Pinball Machine. It's a WIP but it's still great.
I have a few rare "things"..
I have a sealed Persona 2 EP. I dunno, but it felt rare, and it was going for a shit ton of money when P3 was released and got popular.
But my 2 rarest items must be my dev Saturn with a prototype controller. They were a gift from Sega to one of my old bosses who worked at Softimage at the time. He didn't care about it and sold it to me for like 100$. The Saturn itself is weird - it's basically a normal Saturn with a hole cut up in front so it can be connected to a dev unit, while the controller is a Genesis controller modded so that the MODE button is the L button and the R button is a long red stick. It's really weird - I'll take a picture when I can and show it.

the original print of Dragonball GT: Final Bout. Only 10,000 exist. Mine is numbered at 9,800
I don't have much at all. The oldest not-so-common games are probably the most valuable.
I have Pal Mystic Quest for Game Boy with box, manual and the map and Pal Secret of Mana with box, manual and map.
Also for Vic 20 some cartridge versions like Omega Race and some chess game. Had one another, but can't remember the name. But I have no idea if these are rare at all.
