Top 10 Rarest SNES Games

"After the almighty NES ran its course, Nintendo finally decided to step in to the 16-bit ring to take on their rival, the Sega Genesis. The battle between these titans still rages on today, but one thing’s for certain; the SNES has a ton of rare and expensive games. So let's dive into a collector’s wet dream."

Final Fight Guy I got it from my uncle who worked at blockbuster direct from Japan Orange box and all.

That's incredible! You sir are a very lucky man :)

TheWolverine3929d ago

wow, i've still got my ninja gaiden trilogy. maybe I should trade that away

Nizulo3929d ago

If it's still in great condition with the box and all, you should fetch a nice little sum :) Hell, even if it's not in the best condition, it will still attract some good coin!

Hey Nizulo,

Can I just asked what this top ten list was based on? Or how you define rare? Did you look at total copies in print or price value?

I enjoyed the list but where are games like E.V.O and Aerofighters?

Nizulo3928d ago

Thanks for the comment :) I tried to base this article on total copies rather than actual value of the game. My goal with this list wasn't to make it a 100% accurate, but to have fun with it and make it as interesting as possible. ^DV

It was a good read! Thats why I asked because there can be rare games that aren't worth much money, and also games that are really expensive and have a high circulation. My friend had a sealed copy of the uncirculated Speed Racer/Mountain Bike rally 2 pack. He sold it and bought a car if I remember correctly. That thing is mega rare!

Quick thing about Noah's Ark: it's not a "rip-off" of Wolfenstein 3D - it is Wolfenstein 3D. Apparently, the game's developers might have made it as a middle finger to Nintendo. Watch the Angry Video Game Nerd's take on it for the specifics: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
