Nintendo games worth anything

Players were tasked with either finishing a level in Super Mario Bros. Presents Major League Baseball. With Tetris being the major success that it was, Nintendo knew they needed to find their own quick-thinking puzzle game similar in nature.

Once they had the formula, they logically attached their most popular mascot and the game sold like hot cakes. Many people who owned an NES also owned Dr. Mario, so it can still be commonly found.

Mega Man 5. Mega Man 2. Duck Tales 2. Mike Tyson's Punch-Out [5 Screw]. Power Glove. Dragon Warrior. Castlevania II Simon's Quest. Mega Man 3. Panic Restaurant. Niche titles from smaller Japanese game studios typically receive smaller releases compared to huge-name Nintendo titles from the same era.

Dokapon Journey proved to be an extreme example. While it has a single-player mode, this game is best known for its array of multiplayer RPG board games and party mechanics.

All players must have their own game cards, which is a difficult and expensive endeavor given the limited number of copies available. Sports games with yearly releases are notorious for their poor resale value, so the extreme rarity of NCAA Basketball 2K3 may seem surprising. Ironically, it is so rare because it sold very poorly on the GameCube. Poor marketing left this game in the shadows for years, despite the growing genre of soothing daily life games on handheld consoles.

Barbie: Groom and Glam Pups is one of the most expensive 3DS games available today, but not because it was flying off the shelves. On the contrary, its low-volume run in Canada went so poorly that the game was quickly pulled from the shelves, never to be released in the United States.

Logically, this means that everyone will pay top dollar to groom these rare and glamorous pups. A highly limited number of cartridges were sold. Another rare competition cartridge, this time-trial version of Star Fox was shipped to Nintendo dealers around the country for a weekend event in These cartridges wound up in the public's hands, again, as part of a Nintendo Power contest.

It's unclear if this Taito game was ever released to video game stores -- best we can tell, it was a direct-to-rent exclusive of Blockbuster Video. Because of that limited availability, this game is one of the rarest NES cartridges in existence. This December release from Taito sold poorly at launch, again, because it was an 8-bit game in an increasingly bit era.

The Bomberman franchise is arguably Hudson Soft's best. But few people played the multiplayer sequel to the NES original, opting instead to wait for the Super Nintendo version.

The original Power Blade was a well-reviewed, if obscure, Mega Man -esque action game set in the dystopian future. The sequel is even more obscure -- which to collectors, means much, much more valuable. This notorious unlicensed cartridge got its name from the fact that it holds 52 different games.
