Jon's 5 Rarest Games

[@Mattzere]

I think Jon might be my favorite content creator on KZbin. Friendly, knowledgeable and funny videos aplenty. Thanks for this one!

[@Byborne]

I can only agree - when he left Nintendo Life, I tagged along here :)

[@Mattzere]

@@Byborne same here! And I'm glad I did :)

[@winterthorn1]

I was at the Louvre in March 2022, and people could still rent the 3DS guide in the museum, but the gift shop did not stock the physical cart anymore. I asked and was told they don’t sell it anymore. I wasn’t 100% convinced of the answer, but they definitely didn’t have any in any language in stock while I was there.

[@JakeLT64]

America doesn’t have the problem of charity shops tossing out retro games: Good Will has a warehouse for them to get shipped to and listed directly on eBay

[@playertoo9730]

L that they don’t keep them at the stores or donate to local shops. idk why not

[@Howwy191]

Most charity shops in england do the same, its rare for a charity shop to be stupid enough not to.

[@tonymonteiro1081]

They do now. Even now some goodwills are not accepting crts anymore. In fact some locations had their entire inventory sent to the dump and e-waste plants.

I just started panzer dragoon saga yesterday (emulator) and the vibe is really something else... am excited to continue

[@daynnethedrummer684]

Turns out Elder Scrolls Travels IS a series. Looks like some games released on mobile devices and there was even an Oblivion port for PSP in the the works that had the "Travels" moniker. Pretty fascinating.

[@androidoficeandfire9667]

Thought Jon would know that as a PSP guy

[@adamcatley4784]

Yes I've completed them all. There's Shadowkey, Stormhold and Dawnstar

[@pixelbomb97]

I'm not really a capital C Collector or anything, but the rarest games I own are Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant dawn. I would usually trade back in games I beat as a kid, but those two were so hard I could never beat them so I never traded them in.

[@RevolvingCube]

I would love to own a copy of path of radiance but it cost an arm an leg so I have to emulate it and plug in the GameCube adapter

[@statesminds]

I rebought path of Radiance when it was $100 and fell on some tough times years ago and got rid of it. Hate I did that. Got rid of a lot of games. Rip baten kaitos too. Now I won't get rid of any of my games ever again

[@LynRodriguez123]

Wanna slide me that PoR? 😂😭

[@degeneratecollector9950]

I just sold my copy of path of radiance yesterday lol got 275 bucks

[@svenbtb]

I wish i had gotten those games as a kid. Those ARE legitimately rare, I don't remember seeing them ONCE back in the day when they were still brand new, and I looked!

[@matthewmincey8822]

i enjoy this type of content, makes you feel like your reliving memories of not only the presenters but your personal memories as well. more please.

[@mrwsly7402]

Ever since I played xenoblade I decided to get every one monolithsoft’s xeno-games. For a while xenosaga episode 3 was my holy grail item of collecting. Went to a convention, the first booth I was at I asked if they had it and they did. Instantly bought it, one of my favorite memories when it comes to collecting.

[@Tom-101]

I'm playing 3 rn for the first time! Started with Gears and wanted to get up to the end of Saga before XC3 comes out so I'm aware of references/callbacks. The combat is really fun but I've been too busy reading the database entries to get anywhere in the game yet 😂

[@mrwsly7402]

@@Tom-101 I have all xeno-games now except for xenoblade 3D, but haven’t played gears or saga yet. I’ll probably still be riding on xenoblade hype and try out gears after 3 comes out, but I am definitely excited to try them all out, and I will be sure to read the database entries lol

[@PurpleLink11]

My best find was a Virtual Boy I got at an Estate Sale for $10. Ever since then I've gone to many disappointing estate sales. Rarest/Most expensive games are Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition and the Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disk :)

[@svenbtb]

This video was cozy, thanks for sharing with us Jon! I love your passion, it always shines through, it really makes your videos great to watch

[@requiem165]

18:54 THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME! Walked into a charity shop, got God Hand for £2! Also got Yakuza 2, P3FES and P4 there also for £2 each

[@loganmarcum4495]

I actually have started a No new games policy for 6 months so that I can drop the money for Paper Mario TTYD and a GameCube console and not feel guilty about it

[@rudeboyspodcast]

I have a policy that lets me feel morally correct to "acquire" games that Nintendo refuses to make available to people :)

[@DekuOfPower]

I only just started having the money for collecting after I graduated college in 2020, so my collection doesn't have much of note. My sister still has our childhood copy of Thousand Year Door though, so that's pretty $$$.

[@TheZebbga]

I am so glad I got that game as a kid but I hate myself for not getting Fire Emblem Path of Radiance and Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness as a kid.

[@Itsric_0]

One of my most prized games I have in my collection is a sealed copy of SMT 3: Nocturne for the ps2

[@nova939]

What I've learnt from this video is that the most valuable thing you own is your relationship Jon :)

[@viewtifuljoe99]

I've still got my Mother 3 Deluxe Edition that came with a Gameboy Micro and some other trinkets that I bought at launch before I could even read the text during my first playthrough. That's my favorite gaming item

[@RevolverLink]

I don't have many super valuable games in my collection, but I'm reasonably confident that Solatorobo: Red the Hunter is the rarest/most valuable game in my collection. I probably should've seen its big rise in value coming from the start, but I bought it when it came out simply because it looked fun & cute and I wanted to play it.

[@Mr.Foxhat]

For me the valuable game I own is probably Dragon Quest V on DS. The most rare game that I personally value is probably Conduit 2, an incredibly underrated hidden gem on Wii that surpasses the original in ever conceivable way. Easily in the top 10 list of games for the Wii, if not top 5.

[@seereebee]

6:40 I believe there was meant to be a PSP port of Oblivion called The Elder Scrolls Travels: Oblivion but it never released

[@jacobmonks3722]

I don't have a lot of rare games, but probably the most expensive one I own is Chrono Trigger CIB for the DS. Bought it in 2019 for $40 at a happenstance GameStop visit (I am still shocked) and now it's triple that value. My brother has Pokemon Emerald I don't count it because no mainline Pokemon game is rare enough to be worth more than $40 if you ask me. Those games sell in the tens of millions, how the hell are they so expensive?

[@goldmemberpb]

Yeah, hgss is super expensive now. That with the pokewalker is probably one of more sought after games I have.

[@DestinyZX1]

Same here

[@Granadico]

In like 2015 i wanted to buyDS RPG and picked between CT or Radiant Historia. Both were only like $20 and i was gonna buy both eventually but I never got around to CT and only bought Radiant Historia. Huge mistake on my part :( I wouldnt even sell it or anything but its a bummer how much of a huge miss that was for me just being lazy and cheap.

[@joserachi96]

It's just people who think have something worth more than they have, when it's not worth as much like you yourself say that older pokemon games shouldn't be over $40 with how many copies are sold and made

[@MZ99698]

Pokémon Emerald is worth tens of millions?? Ok lol.

[@jimmyt7233]

Great video! My rarest is probably Cotton for Turbografx-CD. Hoping to some day find more Turbo stuff in the wild again

[@Howwy191]

Fire emblem path of radiance sits proudly in my collection. I bought it when it was around £120.

[@frozensanity1234]

What I think is my most rarest game is Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. It was the first time and last time I preordered in person at Gamestop (that and the Gamestop closed down a few years later) Nowadays I mostly do preorders online or wait for a sale, but thinking back reminds me of my adolescent years.

[@Froinlaven_2020]

I’ve gotta say Jon, when you said “you specifically” that was the first time I truly felt like a content creator cared about me and Made me feel special. I got the biggest smile when you said that. Thank you for being so genuine and amazing! The world needs more people like you 🥹🙏

[@nahumgardner]

My rarest games are panzer Dragoon saga, earthbound, Pokemon box for GameCube in English, and jack brothers for virtual Boy.

[@gametourny4ever627]

Nice Gems! O hope some day to find a copy of Jack Bros.

[@nahumgardner]

Appreciate the CGR shoutout Jon! That channel was my childhood

[@pepperonin1914]

I have pretty much all of the essential Gamecube games, including both Pikmin, Mario Sunshine, Windwaker, Smash Bros Melee, Paper Mario, among others and even the Gamecube version of Twilight Princess. I ended up getting it because I was so hyped for the game and my parents could not for the life of them find a Wii for like the first full year of its release, and like 6 months into that I used my allowance money to buy that version instead. That ended up working out too because once I had the Wii even though I liked the motion control gimmick more than most people did for that particular game it just felt way better to play with a Gamecube controller (probably because that's what it was designed for from its conception)

[@BossmanCCrowder1]

I do have the Louvre game. Thank goodness I picked that up when I visited Paris years ago.

[@JustJulyo]

Most valuable thing I've learned Jon uploading for GVG

[@madisonwuertz2349]

I collected a lot while growing up (vehemently refused to sell all my games) so I have games like rhythm thief and the emperors treasure, the special edition of FE Fates, etc :3

[@fedoragent0077]

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn seem to be pretty pricey and rare nowadays and I’ve got both of them! Got them at used game stores about ten years ago when they were only $60. I love playing them still to this day, one of my best gaming choices.

[@elliotman4882]

I visited Paris in March of this year and they still had the 3DS audio guides in the Louvre. Kinda crazy I never thought I would see them in person.

[@C_Arson]

Nice chill video! I also love how the description is like, "Of course video games can be rare but no one is rarer than you."

[@mintman3533]

I got a complete Dragon Quest DS collection, and my copy of Monsters Joker 2 is sealed and I'm afraid to open it now with how it keeps ballooning in price. Really wish there was a cheaper way besides the mobile ports for people to enjoy one of my favorite series.

[@svenbtb]

Man no joke... it's hard to be a Dragon Quest fan

[@glovishly]

I've wanted to get into the Dragon Quest series by playing Dragon Quest V on the ds, but that game is so expensive. Now that Dragon Quest XI has done very well in the west, and is the best selling dragon quest game in the west, Square should definitely re-release the previous Dragon Quest games on console (and pc) other than just the first 3 games on the switch (and I hope that they don't just directly port over the mobile ports like they did with 1-3 because I REALLY don't like how those look.)

[@billcook4768]

Now I really want to see Jon do an entire video as Mark from Classic Game Room. Doesn’t even have to be about Trucston

[@justintime3520]

I went to Paris in December of 2019, and I remember seeing John tweet about the Louvre game on my flight back. Didn’t know they sold them, would’ve have been nice to have as a memory. Oh well, maybe they’ll still be using the 3DS twenty years from now haha

[@MateusDrake]

By the stories you can tell that the greatest treasures he collected is his partner (and family). Cliché? Yeah, but she does take an interest and tried hard to give amazing gifts, supporting his hobby and passion.

[@danielgervasi9567]

I love the “Jon Lore” that Roxy watched Metal Jesus and Happy Console Gamer. Perhaps an ultimate crossover with content creators from the UK, Seattle and Canada could be made a reality? Once GVG hits 100k it’s on like Donkey Kong!

[@SilverStormShadow]

My rarest game is also Panzer Dragoon Saga, it truly is a phenomenal game and I'd consider it to be the magnum opus of the Sega Saturn

[@Fuzunga]

Travels was an Elder Scrolls subseries. There were actually three other cell phone games released: Stromhold (2003), Dawnstar (2004), and Oblivion Mobile (2006). There was also a version of Oblivion planned for the PSP that was cancelled.

[@CaptBurgerson]

The idea of that shop just throwing out old games hurts. You have to wonder how many rare gems ended up in the trash.

[@jasonulloa]

I have lots of older PS1 games in their original cases with instructions that have shot up in price, like Persona 1 and 2 with the bonus disc that came with P2, the Misadventures of Tron Bonne, Valkyrie Profile, and Suidoken 1 and 2, for example. I had older games that I left with my relatives before I joined the military, but those have sadly been lost. I really wish I still had my Sega CD games like both Lunars, Vay, Dark Wizard, Popful Mail, and NBA Jam.

[@brudbrud9137]

That copy of panzer Dragoon you got is extremely rare according to Wikipedia there's only 1000 copies

[@k2a2l2]

wow i had no idea earthbound was so expensive, especially just the cartridge alone

[@DestinyZX1]

Panzer Dragoon Saga… the rarest of rare games. Sega, please remaster this.

[@svenbtb]

Is it not on Switch? Or is that the RPG spinoff they made?

[@why3994]

Lol they did

[@l.j.nguyen2586]

Yeah. I doubt that Panzer Dragoon Saga will ever get remade/remastered but hey, we can all dream, right? The 1st Panzer Dragoon game did get a remake but I don’t know if Zwei will follow suit. Also, the first 2 games are “On-Rail Shooters” like Space Harrier and Star Fox while Saga is a Saturn exclusive 4 disc JRPG and is super duper crazy rare and expensive! Geez Leweez! 😬

[@DestinyZX1]

I had a pretty bad day at work so thanks for making my day a little better with this homey video

[@demonmike05]

I've got two valuable (one sentimental, one monetarily) games of note. I moved to Japan years ago, but back home in the UK I kept my sealed copy of Eternal Sonata for the 360 and Polka faceplate. Game got me through a rough period so I'm glad I own these rare items. Here in Japan I picked up a physical copy of Bayonetta for Switch used for about £30.. which has now ballooned to nearly £200. Didn't expect that

[@roienn777]

I've got a solid small collection of complete in box Virtual Boy games, but the crown jewel of my collection is definitely a complete copy of Cubivore on GameCube that I picked up at a local shop for $7.99 when it regularly sold for $80 at the time. Obviously that's grown a bit since then.

[@Froge0]

I worked at a charity shop for a while and the people there put anything worth more than about £5 on eBay, a bit lame for people who want to go in there and find some good games but to be fair it does get them the most money for charity. It was a chain charity too so they had quotas with how much money they had to raise.

[@amirgarcia547]

I don’t own too many “rare” games, but some of the more uncommon or expensive ones I have (outside of the obvious like the DS Pokémon games) are the DS version of Chrono Trigger (that one I bought randomly at a used games store years ago and am glad to have held onto), Shin Megami Tensei IV, The World Ends With You: Final Remix, Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition, No More Heroes: Travis Strikes Again and both Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and the physical version of Torna: The Golden Country (and that last one I got a very good deal on due to only being $69 [nice], albeit without the case. Though I did buy a replacement case later on.) I did use to own Rhythm Thief and the Emperor’s Treasure on 3DS, but sadly I ended up losing it. ;-; And while European or Japanese copies are relatively cheap, for some reason the NA version goes for HUNDREDS of dollars.

[@ProtomanBlues87]

I too have Snatcher and Panzer Dragoon Saga, both North American versions. My Saga is the inverse of yours, looks good outside, discs scratched up. At least it plays, and I even beat it the week after I bought it. I'm very jealous of the artwork on the interior boxes of the European Saga, and I had no idea it was there til watching this.

[@thatssomegoodpie]

People who want to play Panzer Dragoon Saga do have several alternatives. You can buy a repro copy and play it with a Saturn Kai cartridge or you can load the game on an ODE like I did.

[@Krisipoke]

Probably my craziest one is getting Starwing Competition (Star Fox Super Weekend) for the SNES for about 2,600 HUF (around 8 USD today) because the seller thought it was just regular Starwing. It was about 10 years ago. For those who don't know, only a very small amount was ever made, and was used in official competitions held by Nintendo back in the day. Most of my very valuable games are mostly valuable because I bought them when they were either relevant (like CIB N64 games), or just generally before the retro game boom (like a Mega Man V loose cartridge for the Game Boy, which I bought for 1,500 HUF or about 5 USD, look up how much it costs nowadays).

[@cjsmith914]

I went to the Louvre in November 2021 and they’re still using the 3DS guides. They do have games to buy but they only had Japanese and I think Spanish in stock!

[@Frijolero18]

My most valuable game is probably Dragon Quest V on DS. Got it on clearance at K-Mart for $10 and now it goes for over $200. Funny thing is I still haven't gotten around to playing it.

[@finnkoeweit]

Went to the Louvre a little while ago and I asked if they still sold them, but they unfortunately don't anymore.

[@ParmMannREBORN]

They still have the 3ds set up to use at the Louvre but they don't sell copies anymore. When covid hit I had to settle for buying a French copy online while they were still relatively cheap

[@gametourny4ever627]

What a great top 5 Jon. I share some of my top 5 with what you have as well. I have Earthbound but it falls as my number 8 game. Here are my top 5 most valuable games in my collection. 5. Rule of Rose (PS2) Cib 4. Magic Knight Rayearth (Saturn) Cib 3. Kuon (PS2) Cib 2. Snatcher (Sega Cd) Cib 1. Panzer Dragoon Saga (Saturn) Cib All 5 of these titles are unique and I like them quite a bit.

[@rpgplayz7085]

I am kinda new to collecting but the most rarest game is actually kinda cheap because condition of it. I got chaos engine for the mega drive, when I got it from my dad it is £15 but no one really talks about it and it has become a bit of a hidden gem

[@oggiv]

My most expensive piece in my collection as a whole is my CiB Virtual Boy, which I bought from a seller who had 4(!) available less than 10 minutes from my house(!). I live in Europe, and that was in 2019. Crazy. As for games, it seems to shuffle between CiB Zelda 1 on NES (PAL), CiB Pokemon Heartgold/Pokewalker bundle on DS (PAL), and CiB Pokemon Fire Red Players Choice on GBA (NTSC-U). None of them are really rare, but they are valuable. My entire top 10 consists of Zelda and Pokemon games, maybe with a CiB Sonic CD (PAL) in there, and a sealed Metroid Samus Returns (PAL).

[@francobeltran]

THANK YOU FOR THE CLASSIC GAME ROOM SHOUTOUT JON

[@bouldermanclimbs]

Pokémon soul silver might be my most expensive game. All those gen 3 and 4 Pokémon games keep going up and up. Enjoyed this video!

[@jordanchicksen]

Great stuff Jon!! I’ve got nothing close to that, but my rarest game is Metroid Prime trilogy on Wii, and I got it for like $12 in 2021.

[@danisanerd]

I got the Lourve guide as well! really shot up in price, wow. its a really cool piece of software as well.

[@selder_7]

Sonic Heroes was my first sonic game and I’ve been hooked since, it’s very flawed but I still love it and didn’t fully appreciate how much it meant to me until I was seeing Sonic 2 in the cinema with my daughter and seeing team sonic battling together against Eggman on the big screen. Life is Strange is another that just meant so much to me at the time and just has its hooks sunk so deep that even the trailers for the remaster are a sea of emotions. And Xenoblade Chronicles is the best and I will never be over that I finished the game and put it down

[@PikaLink91]

I once found Final Fantasy Anthology and Origins at a charity store and unfortunately, because they apparently LOOKED special to this dear old lady, she took them to the back where apparently someone much younger was hanging out, confirmed their value, and so she returned and asked for 100DKK per game. Not a crazy amount of money but more than I had, so I had to quickly go to the supermarket with some of my empty plastic bottles and get the change I didn’t have.

[@leroy3510]

My 5 rarest i actually don't know. Probably Persona 2 Eternal Punishment for ps1 that goes for 400/500$ i think. Also i own all NA amd PAL versioms for al Persona limited editions for PSP amd Persona 4 Solid Gold Edition. Final Fantasy NA versions for NES and SNES cost am arm and leg. Solatorobo limited edition still sealed for DS. Got lot of rarities i think.

[@FDestroy3r]

My most valuable I think are in order : Metal Slug 2 AES, Doshin Expension 64DD, Earthbound big box with guide.

[@ssmelche]

My rare or expensive games are ones I kept from childhood. Stuff like Earthbound, Haunting Grounds, Cubivore, Super Mario RPG. I somehow received a second copy of Pokemon Silver as a kid and never opened it. It's still sealed in the box 😅. These days I wouldn't recommend paying for what these retro games go for. I'd wait for the bubble to burst or emulate them.

[@MickLMZR]

I'm not sure which is rarer for me in my personal collection but I do have copies of The Last Story, Pandora's Tower and Oreshika Tainted Bloodines' English physical release.

[@Cassapphic]

My only games I have that are fairly expensive is probably the most common response of "DS era pokemon games" which sucks because I honestly feel kind of guilty for holding onto these games that I grew up with but havent played in a long while, that someone else could get more mileage from them.

[@ben8446]

Love finding bargains. Most recent victory was tactics ogre on PSP for £12.

[@rulitopechocho]

I've been collecting for some years now, and my most valuable games according to price charting are: Flower Sun and Rain for the DS, i paid like 15 bucks and now is worth 300 dollars, then Silent Hill Shattered Memories for the PS2, I paid 60 bucks and now it's worth around 250, and in third place Torneko's Last hope for the PS1, I paid 50 bucks and now it's worth 200 usd

[@Longshanks126]

I don't have many rare and expensive games. The ones I do have I mostly got back when they were new and not in as high of demand, such as Xenoblade Chronicles X Special Edition and Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn. The one exception is Fire Emblem Path of Radiance, one of my friends found a copy and gave it to me as a wedding gift a few years ago.

[@JackEGee-il9mz]

I doubt people will be too interested but I’ve been collecting games for a few years and have spent a pretty penny on a few of them. So I thought I’d throw in my most expensive games too following the same rules as Jon. Bare in mind all of these are the PAL releases so the prices may be different from your own 5. Streets of Rage 3 (SEGA Mega Drive) 4. Rayman (Atari Jaguar) 3. Dragon Quest: The Hand of the Heavenly Bride (Nintendo DS) 2. Panzer Dragoon Saga (SEGA Saturn) 1. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Sony PlayStation)

Probably the rarest games I have are arcade games believe it or not… I’ve got Radiant Silvergun (arcade ST-V card in a custom Radiant Silvergun dedicated cabinet), and Soukyugurentai (Terra Diver, also in the same arcade cab on a switcher in ST-V format). Outside of that, I do also have every Falcom title released on Switch physically (Japan releases included), alongside physicals for a variety of shmups including every M2 ShotTriggers physical release. I have a massive collection, but those are probably the more unique niche things.

[@shannonmcconnell9203]

I've seen listings for Earthbound up to $1500 but I have it in the original box with the guide

[@KrisMagicPunch]

My 5 most valueable games are Sega Rally Championship on GBA (loose), Pokemon Soul Silver (loose), Rhythm Heaven Fever (CIB), Kirby Planet Robobot (CIB) (yes this game suddenly shot up in price for some reason and now its like 80 dollars), and Pokemon LeafGreen (loose). All of these games I actually got from a friend (except Planet Robobot, I got that myself), most of which i got either when they weren't that expensive or neither of us knew they were expensive, aside from Soul Silver which they very generously offered to me for only $20 (I made sure to ask them "you sure you're gonna sell it to me for that cheap?")

[@Phantom-T]

Honestly, my rarest game has to be a NA physical version of Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure on the 3DS. That thing averages about $400-500 on eBay these days

[@wdbisl]

I have most of my childhood games so what I have I've hung on to and rarely sell games. I've never spent over the $60 for any one game. IAnyway some of my rarest games are Koudelka, Shadow Hearts, Chulip, Eternal Poison, Lunar 1&2, Klonoa 2, Under the Skin, Skys of arcadia. Most of my rarer games tend to be rpgs.
