In your opinion what is the rarest game for the DS.
and what is the rarest game you own.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Well the hardest that I'm trying to find is Phoenix Wright. lol I can't find it at any retail stores :P.
Rarest game I own....I guess Kanji Sonomamam Rakubiki Jiten, because I only know 3 people who know what that is.....well 4 after I explained it to my friend. Meh, it's an import, people also mistake my Ouendan! to be EBA T_T. How can you confused Japanese and english writing lol.
Advance Wars: Dual Strike, perhaps. I have not been able to find it anywhere.VauxhalI
I own that Advance Wars Dual Strike it ia very good game.
Goemon DS. I don't even think it's sold in America, but it's one sweet-arse game.TheFrowTrue, but that doesn't make it rare. In Japan it sold so well they put out a budget version which is still being sold. Anyway. rarest game for the DS... That's kinda hard to say. I wanted to buy Etrian Story, but forgot it was an Atlus game and lost my chance already. So that's at least *a* rare game. Some rare games I own are Trauma Center, Nanostray and Sprung. I think Lunar: Dragon Song and Trace Memory might be rare too... I probably own some more. A lot of DS games don't seem to be made anymore, but rare as in very costly on eBay... don't know any of those.
I had to work really hard to find a copy of "Lost in Blue".
"Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow" is getting tougher to find too. Glad i have that one.
For awhile Trauma Center was pretty rare, but with the release of the sequel on the Wii, i think the game has gotten a bit more exposure. Lately I can find copies of it pretty easily (didn't used to be the case, same deal with Phoenix Wright. It WAS rare, now it's everywhere.)
My prediction for the NEXT rare game: "Glory days 2" (which i picked up yesterday!)
I know alot of people say they can't find "Advance Wars DS". Maybe it's just my area, but i STILL am able to find it pretty easily.
Let me see I would say WW: Touch even though I got one of the ones that was out first.
The rarest I have are...
Play-Yan: Import
Wario Ware: Touch
Polarium
Elite Beat Agents ( Haven't seen much of this game in stores lately)
Monopoly / Boggle / Yahtzee / Battleship (DS)I say is one of the rarest, as I've never seen it in stores, and that includes Walmart.
Rare gameI have may be Yoshi Touch and Go.
I own: Lost in Blue, Mr Driller Drill Spirits, Trauma Center, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney, Nanostray, Point Blank DS, and Puzzle Quest.
They might be rare, or hard to find.
tony hawks: american sk8tland
rare, but not very good. too easy, repetative, and only 10 min. of fun
I like the tony hawk games and this ones a stinker.
Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt and DS download stations 1 and 2! hurray for reviving a 2 year old thread!
I've thought about tracking down Advance Wars, but I don't know if I'll like it. As for what I think is the rarest? I would say Lost In Blue 1, ElectroPlankton, and WarioWare: Touched. I have Trauma Center and my ex-wife has ElectroPlankton...that would have to be the rarest I have access to.MarkedByAshes
Also, Professor Layton is pretty rare... I don't know why.
Edit: Thanks for reviving this...
Speaking of Electroplankton... I happen to have seen this at gamestop a few months ago and took a picture.
The rarest DS game has to be ElectroPlankton. I played it once, when you COULD get it off of GameFly. (It's at "very low" chance of being shipped. Someone must have the only copy and is hoarding it! LOL)
But, according to what I hear, Advance Wars DS is the rarest game I own, although there's a used copy at the GameStop in my mall. I also have WW:Touched! And SBK, which no one seems to talk about on here.
EDIT!! ^ HOLY S**T!! $60 for a used ElektroPlankton? Now, If i had the $$$, I'd buy it. Did you pick it up,CheatingSoi?

$60 FOR A USED DS GAME?!?!?!?!?! O.O
lol, idk i though it was a mistake but everyones talking about how rare it is so maybe not. But I still doubt it would be that much. And no I didn't buy it.
I have to say Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow, Polarium and any of the Phoenix Wright games. Allthough here, in the UK, Electroplankton is quite common and is seen in pre-owned sectons everywhere, last time i seen it, it was around the 20-15-9 pounds area, allthough the prices are a little static but not a fullblown extorsion like that $59.99 picture i seen earlier. :o
I own Tetris DS and Planet Puzzle League.
I planned to give another Tetris DS and Planet Puzzle League to my little cousins. I could not find them at some video game stores near my home. I found Tetris DS that one video game store sold it for over $50.

IThat's the correct price on it,$60.00 used,that's because its a rare game where you wouldn't find it in many game stores or even some online stores as well.Speaking of Electroplankton... I happen to have seen this at gamestop a few months ago and took a picture.

By the way,here is the link if anyone think that its a lie.

I don't think that there are any particularly rare English language games, say that are actually impossible to find either in the stores or online somewhere if you look hard enough(although possibly for a high price or via import only). The only rare games I can think of are Japanese games that were never released in the first place in the UK or USA and are only available via import. I'm betting that the rarest games in the future, although undesirable, will be the ones that scored really poorly in reviews, so that hardlyanyone bought them,and were for a very limited audience. In 20 or 30 years' time these will be worth money when someone decides to set up a DS museum. Wiffle Ball, with a grant total score of 22 in Metacritic is looking like a good candidate so far for super rarity.
i think that electroplankton is pretty rare. i haven't seen it anywhere.
i own tetris, and i think that its pretty rare, along with advance wars: dual strike and phoenix wright 1.
My god, $60 for a Electroplankton? I got mine for $10.
Only because Gamestop over here had a huge grand opening discount
