Hi, I am looking to collect all the rare and super expensive gamecube games I can. I dont need games that are brand new and expensive, obviously. Im talking about the game that you could only find on amazon, and are really expensive to buy.
It may be worth getting Zelda, collectors edition. It came free if you pre-ordered Windwaker, but it sells for anywhere between 40 and 60 dollars on eBay.

That was Master Quest, there's a difference.
The Collector's Edition came with certain Gamecubes for a short period, didn't it?

Yes, but you can purchase it separately at EB/Gamestop (which has a decent amount of them last time I checked).
ikaruga - u have to spend at least 60 to get a copyiam_suede
Seriously, I can't find Ikaruga anywhere in stores (I could find the other stuff for 20-50 dollars). I'd say Ikaruga is one of the most rare games on the Gamecube, or at least one of them...

The most expensive is probobly Ikaruga or Legend of Zelda : Collector's Edition. The rarest, however, is Pokemon Box (which really isn't a game at all); the only place you will ever see it is on eBay.
Zelda: Collector's Edition used to cost $60 at most places and was fairly rare, but the price has gone down. It's pretty much average now... Great game though :D
On ebay.com.au the PAL format of Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes is selling for up to $145 AUD ($113 USD). It is very very rare in Australia.
How's that for insanity/stupidity
I still get angry when I think about the money Nintendo is losing in Australia due to the fact they stop making/selling games here. Just think if they kept selling these games new all that money would go into there pockets instead of greedy ebayer's

Oh well.. diangelogrey
That's sad. I just bought for 15 bucks over here in the US.
I dunno. I would probably have to say the Zelda bonus Disc with LoZ:OoT and Master Quest ont he same disc. I bought mine for about 30 bucks but its way more than that. I was just lucky.
Yeah it really sucks. Nintendo Australia are a joke with there releases so games litrally become rare as soon as they arrive in Australia. The Zelda Collectors Edition (which was never free in Aus) is selling for up to $110 AUD as well.
I just started collecting NGC titles myself since my friend gave me his Cube once his Wii came in. Here are the games I found the hardest to get and what I payed for them.
Legend of Zelda: Collectors Edition ($50 CDN)
Ikaruga ($45 CDN)
Resident Evil Code VeronicaX ($55 CDN)
Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast ($50 CDN)
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time MQ ($35 CDN)
Resident Evil 2/3 ($75 CDN for the pair)
Now, I did mangae to find all the games I wanted, but one thing has escaped me.....The GBA player section for the base of the NGC.
the most rare game i can think of rite now is pikmin 1 and pikmin 2... dese games were one of da first games out for gc.. my bros mesed scratched da disc and now it wont play.. i tried gettin a new copy of both games but i couldnt find em anywhere.. if u can get a copy den hold on to it... ders only so many copies made..
I had problems getting Pikmin 2, Timesplitters Future Perfect, Metal Gear Solid TS and Ikaruga but I managed to find them. I live in the UK and for Europe the amount of games released is less than North America. My heart goes out to any Nintendo fan in Australia or New Zealand. I hope that some place like Amazon can set up a branch over there because I found the UK section useful for getting cheaper games than I would in the high street shops normally.
However, the two games which are really difficult to find or super expensive for me are - Skies of Arcadia and Zelda Twilight Princess. I know people will say why didn't I pre-order or why didn't I get a Wii but I didn't realise Twilight Princess would have such a limited release here.
The list of rare games in the USA and in the EU are very different. In EU Ikaruga is still being produced. I can easily pick up a new copy for 30 euros which is even a budget price. Skies of Arcadia used to be very rare in EU but now it's in production again. All the games the above poster mentioned I can easily get new and for cheap. Well I can't get Zelda for cheap but I can still easily find it. I personally have a hella lot of trouble finding Paper Mario 2. I always thought that game did good but I guess it didn't...
In Pal territories these are rare. £60 upwards for zelda and £35 for paper mario 2nd hand. I havent seen a copy of fire emblem since its launch. DDR i saw for £15 new in GAME (insanely low considering GAME are scum sucking molluscs) and ive seen it go for £45 which is approximately $90. The only other game i could think that might be rare is the nintendo club version of zelda. It doesnt go for that much but it might do in the future. Ikaruga i bought second hand for £15 and sold to the same store for £15. What a deal! I should have kept it in retrospect though because i dont think i played it enough to fully appreciate it and i cant find it now.
EDIT: I cant find baten kaitos either. Its quite rare too.

Well this might annoy you but I picked up a PAL copy of Twin Snakes off ebay in Australia for AU$50 + P&H. Every so often a stack of people sell their copies and you can pick up a cheap copy but it takes luck to do it.
Zelda: TP easily. I got it when it first came out for $100(Aus), played it, finished it. Waited 1 month and sold it on Ebay and got $112.50 for it because there were only very limited stocks on the GCN version in Australia. Some are selling it for even as high as $150.
