Hello there.  I'm currently collecting any rare DS games, and I would appreciate your help just in case I'm overlooking one or more.

Electroplankton - Sort of rare; somewhat expensive on ebay nowadays.  I have it.
Monopoly / Boggle / Yatsee / Battleship - Quite rare.  I have it.
Nintendogs: Best Friends - Rare.  This is what I'm currently looking for.

Is there anything else?

2.Advance Wars Dual Strike

3)Kirby Canvas Curse

Wasn't Electroplankton only released through Nintendo.com and not available at normal retail stores?

 Anyway, when Nanostray came out I had quite a time trying to find it. I eventually found a copy in a mall in New York while visiting relatives.

Phoenix Wright (the first one) was also really hard to find. Saw it in Gamestop on the day after Christmas...first and last time I've seen a copy in stores.

Electroplankton can be found cheap if you find it in the used DS games shelf at Gamestop/EB games but you can easily import it and it comes with headphones.

Dawn of Sorrow is not hard to find I saw it 2 days ago at Gamestop for $20 new, with new box art, I've heard Trauma Center is hard to find, but not sure

Lost in Blue goes for over retail on Ebay. Aside from the 3 you have that's about the only rare DS game I know of.

Trauma center is definatley not rare....at all.

EBGames and GStop have them on their site, and in my area, each store has 5-7.

The Game & Watch one is probrably the rarest, It's only in Japan and you had to be part of some type of thing to recieve it. They didn't just sell it in stores.

Oh no, WAY too much! That's $120 USD, and you can actually get it online for about $60, which goes to about $75 AUD.

isn't canvas curse rare?

 

The_Nintendawg

Your best bet is to find it on Ebay or get lucky and find it at a GameStop/EB Games.I saw three Kirby Canvas Curse (Used) a few months ago.  They are all gone as of yesterday.
I was also lucky enough to score a brand new Warioware Mega Microgame$ brand new and sealed searching Ebay.Those two games alone are fun as heck.

Well then maybe I should have kept Lost in Blue for it's rarity but it doesnt outweigh how much it annoyed me :P Yeah $150 is a bit expensive for something I wouldn't play. Thanks for your help!

There's a game called Tingle's balloon fight. It will not be sold in stores you can only get it through some nintendo club and I think it's Japan only. So I guess that it's pretty rare too.

Trauma Center and Phoenix wright are by far not rare at all. They have them all the time at Future shop, best Buy, and EB games. I would say Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow is somewhat rare in certain areas. I've onaly seen two, both of which are used, one of which is now mine. I think I saw electro plankton at my local EB games, and Kirby is quite rare, as such with Advanced wars. I got it used at Rogers Video.
