So, what do you guys/gals think are the rarest DS games right now?

Or, of the games that many would not consider rare, are there any that you think will be a future rarity?

IT"S BACK!

It's getting towards the middle of 2008 so what are the more rare games now for the DS? I still say Electroplankton and that Monopoly/Boggle/Yahtzee/Battleship 4-in-1 game. Also, Tenchu is pretty hard-to-find...I recently sold my extra on ebay and it was the only US one on at the time.

Hell Yeah! Really? How much are they?

That game went out of print fairly quickly. I see you live in Canada and I'm sure it's the same version that we had here in the US but do you think it is? I've heard that the Australian version of the game is more common but I don't know.

I can't believe that this game has been in a bargain been since XMAS....how many do they have?

questions, questions, questions

It is bundled with another game (I don't remember which) and started off at $29.99 for the pair and if I am not mistaken they are $18.98 now.. This was at Walmart. I am pretty sure the US and CAN games are the same.

Wow, next time you're there, pick it up if it's under $20 for two games and the Monopoly 4-in-1 is definately one of them. If not for me, for yourself....the Monopoly goes quite well on ebay and depending on the game it comes with, you would be looking at doubling or maybe triple your investment.

Check ebay....you may want to head out today and pick them all up!

[Dain]

I'd be interested in one as well!

[atari2600land]

I now have 100 DS games. Just picked up SpongeBob's Atlantis SquarePantis and Teenage Zombies for $20 each at K-Mart earlier today. Just in case anyone cares.

I care and congrats! 100 DS games, that's impressive!

I've been wanting to pick up Teenage Zombies but haven't yet. Looks neat!

If anyone is still looking for the rare-ish Texas Hold 'Em Poker Pack, Amazon currently has a few new copies listed.

I bought the copy that Amazon.com was selling.

[hockeyjockey44]

I just picked up Worms Open Warfare 2 for the DS for only 9.99!!! It was the last one in the bargain bin at my gamestop! I have been looking for this game for a while accidentally found it after going to 4 gamestops in my town

Well, I lost this one - I remembered to go look at these finally (!) and it turns out that it was Battleship and Clue 4n1's... not Monopoly...

I bought mine at Blockbuster for $9.99 (new) and then loaned it to my nephew - he said he really liked it so I said: OKAY - I WILL GET YOU YOUR OWN COPY. I didn't realize it would take me 6 months and $40.00 to find another new copy...

[SpendTooMuchOnAtari]

Future rarities? Both are Toys r Us Exclusives.

[atari2600land]

Clubhouse Games is hard to find? When it was first on sale, I walked right into Wal-Mart and bought a copy.
As for game-store exclusives, I have a factory-sealed copy of Chibi-Robo: Park Patrol (Wal-Mart.) That's not to say that I do all my DS shopping at Wal-Mart, though. I do buy stuff at Best Buy and GameStop. But now that I have 100 DS titles, I'm back in the 2600/Lynx collecting groove.

With DS games you can find any game you want if you really hit all the stores. I was Able to find Tetris DS at Walmart for 29.99
Also at KMart for 9.99 they had Hotel Dusk which goes for 40 or so new on ebay

Is "Cookie and Cream" rare? I've never even heard of it until today when I bought it used for $10. (That's not the reason I bought it, though. It looked kind of interesting.) I've never heard of Agetec, either.

[hex65000]

Agetec is kind of a 3rd-string publisher. They get a few hits here and there, but a lot of average to clanker games. They publish a lot of PS2 stuff. Cookie and Cream is a port(?) of the PS2 game The Adventures of Cookie and Cream. It's a neat cooperative style game. Retro Gamer(UK) did a review for it so it may be available on their website and elsewhere.

I picked up recently, Guilty Gear: Dust Strikers and Transfromers: Decepticons for $10 each. I always liked the style of the GG series even though I'm a standing target for the computer. It's kind of like my love for Mega Man, I suck -- badly. Yet I just cannot get enough of the story and mythos of the series.

[atari2600land]

Well, it's been a few months. I managed to actually find a copy of Betty Boop: Double Shift but I didn't buy it because I didn't like her cartoons. Should I go back and buy it? (It wouldn't be Friday because I hate the crowds.) Is there anything else I should keep an eye out for? I've tried to find the multi-game pack with Monopoly, but have had 0 success.

[SpendTooMuchOnAtari]

You can get Betty Boop on ebay for around 15. I think it's a $20 title.

[zach1845]

Was able to find electroplankton at a pawn shop for 5.00
Took a while to find but i wasnt going to pay 70 on ebay

[Ze_ro]

Just a heads up to you crazy DS collectors, this was recently released. It's an English version of game that was released in Japan a few years back. All indications are that it was released exclusively in Canada. The graphics are redone so that all the anime girls in the game are wearing Team Canada clothing.
