Apparently Kirby Dreamland goes for a lot. It shot up fast as I got it cheap only about a year before prices got crazy.

Not really. If you got to Gamestop those idiots will charge you like $50 for it, but if you buy on ebay it's 1/2 that which is more around reality. Sometimes you just need to look around and not trust people price fishing for fools who don't research what they're buying.

Gamestop with the Wii I find you'll get a few deals, but usually only when it's that one that gets you a few free ones. Otherwise they seem to be anything from like 25% higher priced or worse. Punchout $15 online, them $20. Kirby Return to Dreamland $25-30 - them $50.

Been a while but just wanted to share since I placed the Wii in my room I've been playing a lot of Wii and vc.
Would like input on must haves from the neo geo vc.

Wow -- how did this thread get to 142 pages?
I guess it's almost 5 years old, but still!

Anyone want to help round up the main titles? This will be good motivation for me to put together a guide :)

I'd have to look up some prices later on, but off the top of my head:

Dokapon Kingdom
Project Zero 2: Wii Edition (PAL)
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom

I'm not as sure about these (especially the first one), but
Xenoblade Chronicles
Pandora's Tower
The Last Story
all seem pretty uncommon to me.

Xenoblade still commands a high price despite a digital release on the Wii U. Same for Metroid Prime Trilogy. Such is life.

Cool thanks -- was just looking at my Tatsunoko vs. Capcom the other day.
I wish they would port that somewhere. I'd also love to have this in an arcade cabinet someday :)

If we're specifying releases, the non-Nintendo Select release of Super Mario All Stars on Wii is pretty rare IIRC

Don't forget to include the oddities like Golf Training, Maximum Racing, Cyberbike, Mr. Bean, etc. Some of these games don't even show up on VGPC...

AWESOME and yeah my goal has always to be the most through.
I'm mildly irritated as the guy from VGPC worked with me a bit before ripping off my concept. I just gotta do a better job. His pricing tool is somewhat useful, but not especially accurate for rarer stuff.
