There really aren't any "rare" games. There are games with a lower print and a higher demand but they're not "rare" by any means. You can find almost any Wii game online for asking price.

There are some games that will be hard to find sealed, and will be considered "rare" in that sense. But Nintendo enforces a minimum press of discs if you want your game released on their console, and I don't know the actual number but I'd assume it's more than 10,000 copies. Nothing like in the NES days when some companies made illegal games and only created like 100 carts.

As I said before, it's not that the game is 'rare', it's that there's a high demand for it. I mean there's a few million copies of the game out there. But yes, finding a sealed one is a bit tricky.

i see your point, but there appears to be a high demand for other games as well without the price hike. regardless, it's still pretty crazy to be priced that high.

Wii doesn't really have rare games. I don't think any of the new consoles do. For a game to be considered rare the used value has to be equal or greater than the new value when it first came out.

That's not the definition of 'rare', otherwise WarioWare would apply. I see it as a game that got the minimum pressed copies, and then shortly after release something was wrong with the game and they needed to recall all of them, but a few people still managed to get copies. Those few copies would make the game 'rare'. Another scenario would be where a game doesen't sell, the price gets dropped a couple times, it still doesn't sell, and then the stores return them to the publisher for a refund. The few copies that the stores did manage to sell would be 'rare'. And as far as I know, neither of those situations have happened yet.

Is WarioWare out of print? If so, why? That game is one of the best reasons to own a Wii.

I would guess Zack & Wiki is one of them. Also, if Warioware Smooth Moves is anything like Twisted was on the DS, it's going to be impossible to find at a decent price.

This happened with the European copy of Manhunt 2. However, since there's no way of knowing whether you own the first or second release of the game (outside a sales receipt) the rarity issue is a null point.

The only rare game the Wii has ever had was Kororinpa : Marble Mania, which at one point was only available for $45-60 used (MSRP was $40 and final was $20). When Marble Saga : Kororinpa released, everyone who enjoyed the first game dumped it for the infinitely better sequel, which destroyed the resale value.

Of course, that was a good thing. Hudson deserves the honor because the series is almost the best the Wii has. I can't wait to see more.

Something worth playing is rare. About 95% of the Wii library is horrid.

Good thing it's going to get an improvement at midnight tonight!
