I just wanted to know some games that are considered rare.
Hmm... What about... Ikki, Bird week, Sqoon, Game Party, Cocoron, City Adventure, Spy Vs. Spy and Auto-Upturn?
I didn't know those were rare. Thanks
are Wai Wai World and Sweet home considered rare?
Most Famicom games were made in large numbers and aren't rare. So all those games mentioned above aren't rare. Some of those, like Sweet Home, are wanted by a lot of gamers, so that makes the price go up, even though it they aren't rare. There are other threads here about rare games, like grails, special releases and gold carts, etc.
I think the gold version of punch out is pretty rare
http://cgi.ebay.com/PUNCH-OUT-GOLD-FAMICOM-NOT-FOR-SALE_W0QQitemZ230114196213QQihZ013QQcategoryZ62053QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem
There is another one on ebay that the seller wants even more money than this one
Yeah, but not hella rare. 10,000 were made and they usually don't sell CIB in Japan for more than $200.
That gold punch out is tempting but I'm having some money problems right now....oh man I wish I had 200 extra bucks...
For one on eBay, that's a good price. I sold a shitty one for $300+. That one's been listed for a while. I have an extra one CIB, as well.

sell it for 20 bucks to me? :)
Haha. You know, the first time I listed my gold PO, it didn't sell, with a start bid of like $200. I relisted it with a $100 start bid and told FamicomJL that I'd give it to him if it didn't sell. Well, it sold, for $360 shipped, I think. But $20. Can't do that. :P I need to make my money back. Need at least $200.

pretty please I'll give you a close up pick of super bros 8!! lol and ummm a rare black dragon quest 2 demon famicom cartridge....
I'm pretty new to this but is a game really worth 200 bucks? That seems very pricey for such dated technology. I take it the price is because its a highly sought after collectable
That's what it's all about, whether or not people want it and how many are available to get. So yeah, some games are worth that much and more. Now, if you're talking about it from the other perspective, that it's just a hunk of plastic with old technology and a printed label, the worth these days would be pennies.
But isn't Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! for NES more complete than the Famicom Version? Isn't the last person you face Super Macho Man? I picked up MTPO for $9 and I thought even that was pricy.
Sorry, FamicomFreak, when you said "rare", I thought you meant "strange", not "scarse". :D

Considering that Stadium Events (which fetches well over a hundred dollars) & World Class Track Meet (which barely makes five) are identical, lest the title screen; it probably doesn't make a difference.

I think the famicom version had different characters in it like Piston Hurricane, Kid Quick, and Pizza Pasta
No. Way off. You're thinking of the arcade version?
But satoshi is right.
http://www.famicomworld.com/Shrines/Holy_Grails_Punch_Out_Special.htm
You fight a pizza guy on the famicom version? omg I gotta see that now!
No, no, no. No pizza guy -- hence "way off."
yeah you were right. I was thinking of the arcade version

I just wanted to know some games that are considered rare.
there are at least 52 famicom/famicom disk games "rare" and many of these are "not for sale" games. Gold punch out is one of them.
For Gold Punch out, on Yahoo auction normal price is about 15.000 / 25.000 Y (120 / 200 $)
the most rare games are the 12 golden cartridge games.
the only games i think are rare are games that arent for sale, and maybe the knitting games.
Saying "52" sounds like someone has a list? Because I don't know of a list and don't know the number of carts/disk produced for most titles, I usually classify rare based on what they sell for on YHJ. I'd say anything over $200 is rare. I don't seem much sell for that price, but there are a few, including some unlicensed games.
Anyway, of the disk games, I'd agree that the knitting games and the gold disks are among the rarest, with All Night perhaps being the most rare. Maybe the Famimanga or whatever games, too.
about games "in sale" most rare Famicom games are:
13. GUEVARA.
12. NAKAYOSHI TO ISSHOO
11. NEKKETSU! SUTORITTO BASKET GAMBARE DUNK HEROES
10. METAL SLADER GLORY
09. DATACH YU YU HAKUSHO
08. DATACH BATTLE RUSH
07. CHOUJIN ULTRA BASEBALL LIMITED VERSION
06. HYPER OLIMPIC TONOSAMA VERSION
05. SUMMER CARNIVAL '92 REKKA
04. POPEYE NO EIGO ASOBI (SILVER BOX VERSION)
03. WILD GUNMAN (SILVER BOX VERSION)
02. DONKEY KONG JR NO SANSUU ASOBI (SILVER BOX VERSION)
01. DONKEY KONG 3 (SILVER BOX VERSION)
Note: I speak about famicom games (japanese version) only.

yes I have a list with photos, prices on shop and on yahoo auction, n. of made...
but I must complete... I miss some photo and some informations about 2 titles.
I work on this document from 30 days.

Not rare. Just a bit overpriced
And was recca for sale? Or was it a prize?
Games I think are rare in no particular order
Punch Out! (gold)
Golf US course (gold)
Golf Japan course (gold)
Recca
All Night Nippon (quite possibly one of the rarest famicom games)
Z gundam
that friggen bike factory game is pretty rare
Lode Runner (championship version)
stuff like that, mostly prizes

these 4 silver box version games are "rare" with class level "E" (<---S-A-B-C-D-E-->)
After prize contest, Rekka was a normally in sold
these are the top rarities about famicom disk games (in order of rarity and not for price):
01. WAKUSEI ATON GAIDEN KOKUZEIKYOU not for sale
02. CLU CLU LAND in sale
03. GOLD DISK (JAPAN COURSE) + PLATE (100 made) not for sale
04. ALIEN II not for sale
05. ZELDA NO DENSETSU CHARUMERA VERSION not for sale
06. ALL NIGHT NIPPON SUPER MARIO BROS (3000 made) not for sale
07. GOLF US COURSE (PRIZE CARD) GOLD DISK not for sale
08. GOLF JAPAN COURSE (PRIZE CARD) (10000 made) GOLD DISK not for sale
09. I AM A TEACHER SUPER MARIO NO SWEATER in sale
10. I AM A TEACHER TEAMI NO KISO in sale
Some of those sound legit -- I haven't heard of some. But, for instance, wouldn't the gold Golf Japan be more rare than the gold Golf US. I've seen that 5,000 of Golf Japan were made, while 10,000 of Golf US were made.
And I think Kidousenshi Z Gundam: Hot Scramble: Final Version was silver. Only 1,000 made and that's definitely more rare than Dunk Heroes. I'm pretty sure the Kinnikuman: Muscle Tag Match's (green and gold) are more rare than some of the games on the carts list, as well. And what about Rock Man 4 gold, which I don't know much about but is said to exist in extremely low numbers, like 4.
"Friggen bike factory game" is Tailor-Made, but it ain't a game, so I don't think it counts.
Translate this please, particularly the first part with the 100, which is for Punch-Out and would be more rare than most on the list.

something about the punch out carts but i dont understand all the chinese characters, sorry, I recognize kin for gold though haha
also, with regards to your things about golf japan, yeah it is rarer then golf us, i said in no particular order on that list

about japan course gold disk I'm sure that is release in 10.000 made, but for us course I don't know the exactly numers of made
Us course gold are most rare of japan course
no, I disagree with the above, japan course is definately the rarer game
A bit hard to find game is the cartridge version of Akumajou Dracula(CIB) in good condition. When you find, is I got my own after a pretty long wait searching on a little used game shop near Tokyo. I think its rare because this has re-released in fairly limited numbers (I don't know how many have been made).
oh yeah, that and bio miracle cart are somewhat rare

I was talking about Gemant's list. ;)
And Golf Japan is 5,000 made; there's no doubt it's rarer than US Course: HERE (http://www.famicomworld.com/Advertisements/Golf_Japan_Course.jpg).
pwned.
anyway, that is backed up by the fact that japan course appears on ebay and yhj more often than us course, roughly half as often it seems

do you have more info about this?
about circulation of rare games not in sale, I read and translate all informations from 7/8 japanese site very accurate.
About charumera zelda I know some people in Japan that search this game, someone have see it for about 1000 $ in a shp (i don't know if mandarake, trader or super potato), I don't know the circulastions but is most rare than all night nippon. I estimate 500~2000 made (but is my supposition).
The game is the same game of zelda famicom disk, but sticker is different. I suppose there are difference also in cover (manual). I never see a front image. I hope this game is complete with manual and not disk only like clu clu land.
(http://park19.wakwak.com/~fantasy/upload/zelda_cha.jpg)
I'm interested in this game. If I see it, I buy immediately.
wow, it does exist!
The lists are looking good. I'm interesting in learning a lot more about some of those games. It seems some of them were just special versions of a retail game. If you finish the lists, I'd love to have a copy.
I've never even heard of some of those titles. I would also like to see some info maybe a section in the famicom world site would be good.
I not have photos for:
Uranoid II
hot scramble final version gold
exed exes royal and platinum
lot lot all 4 type
alien 2
magical taruruto gold (1 time only in sold on yahoo)
saint seiya gold (1 time only in sold on yahoo)
I would like to add the info to the lists on FW, FamicomFreak. I know FW's games lists are missing some of the games on Gemant's lists.
It'd be nice to know which of the games are just cart variations (special color, label, etc.) and which have gameplay variations.

http://950000.com/muscle/tagmatch/data/20050101mandarake/
game is sold for 1.000.100 Yen.
actually... mandarake shop buy it for 1.000.000 Y (last buying and selling offer was in december 2006) and sell for (I think) 1.100.000 / 1.200.000 Y
god thats a lot of money i cant afford that now
Good Grif "drools"
Got to get the Gold Cart of Punch Out..Is there a normal version
No, there's not another release of PO. The only retail release was MTPO.
Yeah the golden cart is sure one I would be interested in.
Is Transformers Headmasters for the disk system rare because I cant find that one anywhere
Hard to find does not equal rare, so no that one's not rare.
new rare game appear on yahoo:
http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e70845545
zombie hunter present version (not for sale games?) is different from normal version.
Neat to see that, Gemant. Do you know what's different from the original to this version?
is the first time that I see.... in description I read "pattern are different from normal version"
The gold Hot Scramble?
HERE (http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r37808497)
is a silver version!
incredible rarity!
Obake gold on yahoo:

I can't believe somebody wanna buy this kind of thing. Isn't just about money. is about a crappy game millions of times worst than a common one like Contra, Akumajou or any classic good game. What you can do with Y400.00? You can do a good trip, you can study, or better(in some cases) buy a TONS of very good games.
That's because even living in Japan and doing a good pay job, I don't have any interest to buy too expensive games.
Talking about Famicom, the most expensive game that I bought was Akumajou Dracula cartridge version and Guevara, Y10.000 boths.
Probably is just to say: "I have". :o
You've got it right. I don't know why people collect things they're not going to play. I suppose I've done it from time to time, even a little with Famicom, but I always feel guilty after buying something expensive because I know I won't put it to use.
Nevertheless, it's fun to learn about the rare stuff that's out there. :)
I feel the same way. I only buy Famicom games I first *KNOW* I want. my liberary isn't all that large but it does include many must haves and a few duds (only because I got them packaged with others)
I didn't know this was rare; maybe it's on your list, Gemant.

What's this rare one? Ishidou?
HERE (http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e71074949)
game: Isido
software house: Hiro
release date: 1990/12/07 famicom disk game numer n. 191
genre: puzzle game
original price: 500 Y
rare game but I don't think that 40.000 Y is a true value.
Hmm...I can see why it's rare. Released late in the Disk System's life. How was it? Anyone have more info on it?
The space shooter Summer Carnival '92 Recca is the rarest non-special edition Famicom cartridge if I am not mistaken.
i know people who spent as much as £200 [$400] for smurfs2 nes cart and others less than £10[$20]. i paid £30 [$60] for my 'mario bros. arcade series' nes cart.
i also saw famicom BASIC CIB finish on $30
There's a Smurfs 2 for the NES? :o

last auction 200.000 Y +
Was it released by a company or just some kid?
mmmh I can search on fami-complete book... I remember that game there is.
however... some not license games or hack games have high bids on yahoo. Also super mario world, Miss Peach World and metal fighter myuu have high price.
It could be by a company...maybe that page manuel linked to says so. But the cart suggests it's either made by the same company who put out those carts/systems or it's by a kid who bought some of those carts and a system and made his own four screen game. Seems more likely, that if it really came from 1986, it's made by the company as a promotion to sell their unlicensed/pirated products.
Didn't think this would sell, but whatever. Obsession is obsession.

Definitely one of the worst NES/Famicom games ever, EASILY.
Does anybody know what some of the most rare and valuable Famicom games are?
I'm trying to research a list, so any help would be appreciated.
If you happen to know a ballpark price range and/or approximate production runs, that would be incredibly awesome.
Thanks in advance!
Heck...I spent about 10 minutes searching for a thread on this board that answers this very question. Search for it! It has the answers you want.
EDIT: Found it and merged the threads!
awesome -- thanks :)
Just came into this form as a result of searching for info on rare Famicom games (saw some stuff that was so rare today it didn't have a price in the store! eg. Rockman 4 GOLD).
Just curious what Japanese pages you guys are looking at for the state of the Famicom prices.
I am definitely curious if the prices on some of this stuff is changing (hopefully going up) as although I am not (yet) crazy enough to jump on a $5000 gold cart, some of the $100-ish games I wouldn't mind picking up, especially that gold Punch Out! cart.
Cheers!
I watch YHJ...but YHJ won't have some of the really rare stuff, like Rockman 4 gold. But it'll have almost everything at one point or another, if you're paying attention. I've never seen a game sell for more than $1,500, which was about the price of All Night Nippon, iirc. Not a Famicom game, but a Famicom prize, a CIB mint SMB Game & Watch can go for over $2,000. The rest of the stuff is $1,000 or less.
(Also, I've got a CIB gold Punch-Out!! if you're interested. One sold for $250 on YHJ about a week ago.)
Just wanted to post a rare game I've never seen before: HERE (http://page7.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g67254161). It's Lot Lot: Silver Members Sticker.
Any idea what type of game that is? The pic on it looks like it's maybe a puzzle game???...

I notice you're missing at least one item that fits with your sets. You don't have the white stationery set: HERE (http://www.famicomworld.com/Shrines/Holy_Grails_Stationery_Set.htm). Do you know:
1. How many gold Rockmans were made?
2. Where the white stationery set comes from? (I think the yellow set was the prize.)

You don't have to tell me how much you paid for it, but can you tell me how much you think you could sell it for? What's it's worth? I don't think I've seen a game with so few releases in an auction, so the price would be high, I imagine.

I saw this game in Super Potato a couple of times, pretty high, tottaly out of my expectation$ ;D

And I notice on the new item, the foldout mentions how the gold cart was won or given out. I'm always curious to know why special edition games were made, so if you can tell us, I'd appreciate it. I'd guess most of the special edition items are tournament prizes (gold disks, etc.), other competition prizes (gold Rockman) or promotional (that game with the soup or noodle label on it).
Bump. Anyone know some really rare FDS games besides the pink Disk Checker and the gold Golf disk?
Disk Hacker.
I was thinking more along the lines of games, but that ave me another thought. Would it be possible if someone had a Disk Hacker ROM to write it to another disk via FDSLoadr?
I have a disk keeper rom... 133 sent it to me.
On the topic of rarity. Has anyone ever seen another boxed SMW pirate? (the one I got from madman). I believe I've seen another Somari box posted somewhere before, but don't recall seeing another one for SMW.

It will probably go around $80 (non-boxed is around $55)
I think I saw another one but I don't remember where it was. (not this forum)
Thanks for your response. I don't have any plans to sell it anytime soon, so $ value isn't a big deal (and based on the thread madman had and what I paid for it, $80 is a fair estimate, but sometimes boxed games are worth many times what a loose one is [not that it can be compared to an official game]). I mostly just wanted to know how scarce the box may be. I know SMW is somewhat scarce on its own (and the box is certainly rarer than the cartridge).

If you look closely, the one above has odd artwork (Mario swapped for something else). That's probably the reason he has both.

It's just a label variation (nothing change in the game).
Peach head is a bit rarer than Mario head but the price should not change because it's just the label.
No reason to think the price would change, but as far as collecting them goes, it's a reason to have two instead of one (since there is a label variation). Some people care about that sort of thing, and that's all I was pointing out.

Thank you. :D
Could anybody tell me which are the rarest famicom games (excluding gold carts or special editions)? the most expensive ones. Thank you. And by the way, has anybody ever seen URANOID II? thanks
Arkanoid II?
yes i heard is arkanoid II, but they call it URANOID II and its said to be one of the rarest games. I do have arkanoid 2 but i donno about the uranoid.
Probably just an extremely common pirate port of Arkanoid II. Where have you heard this rumor? Could you give us a link if it was somewhere on the internet?
http://www.racketboy.com/retro/nintendo/nes/2008/03/the-rarest-and-most-valuable-nes-games.html
it in the part where they talk about famicom, and its not the only place ive seen it. i think its one of thoose special carts.
Oh, this famous Racketboy page. I've seen it linked here at least 4 times. ::)
Most of the values on that page aren't very accurate, and I wish they would've linked to where they got their pricing information from. It's not in the database here. So I wonder if it's just that rare, or it's just some pirate someone thought was rare.
Maniac Mansion
Family Stadium: Manhattan Cop
Never heard of Uranoid Li -- I guess that's the name on that page. I'd assume I'd know it since I spent a lot of time learning about rare games, but who knows. Maybe there's something out there by that name...
so, here in this forum we have a person that has 1 of the 8 rockman 4 gold??? IM FREAKING OUT
I guess Spartan X 2 is pretty rare. Its so expensive!!
I'd only say uncommon. A complete copy goes for like $80, but still just uncommon. :D
I've been pretty unsure of how to categorize Spartan X2. I think it's rare, like Gimmick! or Hebereke or Snow Bros. Sometimes people think games are rare just because they sell for high prices; for example, Hitler no Fukkatsu isn't rare, but people are always wanting to buy it so the prices go up. The same is true of the Kunio titles.
I call that "high in demand" whenever a game like that comes up.
Yup, thats why the store near my area sells a loose Bubble Bobble cart (NES) for 50 bucks. ::)
What is the market value for a Nintendo Golf Gold Disk and Case these days?
I have translated this to the best of my ability. I have been studying Japanese casually for the past 10 years, but I am still not
"fluent" in it yet. :-\
Here it is:
Top of Banner (area at the very top of the image)
"Winning Prizes (Punch-Out II) and gifts for all 10,000 names (in the tournament) "
(I imagined that the // after Punch-Out meant 2, or II)
Left Side, Row 1
"Prize for Ranks 1-100"
Right Side, Row 1
Prize Winner's Trophy award, for all participants.
Left Side, Row 2
"Prize for Ranks 101-5000"
Right Side, Row 2
"All Participants"
(I'm guessing that those who fall into this category can only win prizes in the manner described in the last two rows below...)
Left Side, Row 3
"Hole-in-One Prize"
Right Side, Row 3
"Lottery Drawing from 1,000 Names"
(I could have used "Entries" instead of "Names", but I'm sticking with the original Kanji and using "Names").
Left Side, Row 4
"Lucky Number Prize"
Right Side, Row 4
"For ranks ending in 1, 4, 9, or 2:
Lottery Drawing from 4,000 names
(The end of the first line in Japanese can be read to say "in the manner of", or "similar to", but
in this context, the last part is a phrase modifier which means that the second phrase will be done as
described in the first phrase.)
(Example: The first phrase literally translates to: "Ends of Ranks FOCUS 1, 4, 9, 2 PHRMOD NO manner using/because..."
or more intelligently: "For ranks ending in 1, 4, 9, or 2: (this step will be performed)".
This implies causality in the first phrase.
The Lottery Drawing from 4,000 names will only happen for those who have ranks which end in the numbers 1, 4, 9, or 2.
Hope this is illuminating! :D
A question for the knowledgeable FDS collectors:
Are disk writer exclusive games more valuable if they are in the normal yellow case, or the very late blue case with the shutter? I've seen pictures of real Clu-Clu Land disks in both.
Also, are the Full color official labels worth more or less than the generic white labels that were given out when the store ran out of full color labels?
(http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac351/NEO-AEG/whichdisk.png)
Sure found some old thread, but I don't mind.....
I don't think it matters if it is blue or yellow. I'd personally prefer to see yellow cards because blue cards had crappy games to begin with, but a collector might not care.
Also, the blue ones were not late releases, they were Fax games for contests, and there were only five of them.
I assume that a game with a real label is always worth more... I'd personally put a higher price tag, at least 1/3 higher, probably more. Ask yourself, which one would you rather have in your collection? There is your answer about price...
