The Rarest and Most Valuable Super Nintendo (SNES) Games
Here is another chance for you to raid you closets or used game stores for hidden treasures. The Super Nintendo is the target of this expedition and there are plenty of highly-collectible games this time around. Surprisingly, many of the the most valuable SNES games aren’t actually rare, but are instead driven by popularity and the hunt for elusive boxed SNES games in good condition.
In stark contrast to the Cheapest Games series, this series by JJ Hendricks will round up the rarest and most valuable games for a given console or handheld so you’ll know what to look for whether you are buying or selling. JJ owns VideoGamePriceCharts.com and writes the Video Game Pricing blog which analyzes video game prices, pricing trends, and charts historic video game prices. He used his pricing statistics to find both the average selling price and the highest selling price for each game over the last two months.
Below you will see two prices beside each title. The first is the average daily selling price, which is typically the going rate for the cartridge by itself. The second price is the highest daily selling price of recent history. The list is ordered by the balance of the two prices. Note that some of these games are not rare in the sense that there are not many available, but rare relative to demand, which makes the games expensive.
The Expensive Super Famicom Imports
It’s rather difficult to find solid rarity and value information on Super Famicom titles unless you have a Japanese connection, but here are three of the most desirable Super Famicom releases from the research we did. If you have more to add, please use the comments section below.
 |
Kunio-kun no Dodge Ball Zenin Shuugou Tournament Special Gold Cartridge: $1,000 - $1,200 Rarity =  There were a number of Super Famicom games that were released as limited edition gold carts for tournaments in Japan, one of the most valuable being the Kunio-kun no Dodge Ball Zenin Shuugou Tournament Special. It was given away as a prize to winners of Technos Japan’s Dodgeball Tournaments, which they used to host several times during 1993. Check for Kunio-kun no Dodge Ball Zenin Shuugou Tournament Special Gold on eBay |
 |
Fire Emblem Thracia 776 Box Set: $150 - $270 Rarity =  Before the Fire Emblem series came to the US on the GBA and Gamecube, it was a very popular strategy RPG series in Japan. To satisfy the many fans of the series an feature-packed box set was released that included maps, posters, toys, and other cool stuff. Check out this forum thread to see picutres of the complete Box set. Check for Fire Emblem Thracia 775 Box Set on eBay |
 |
Rendering Ranger R2: $90 - $200 Rarity =  From the makers of the Turrican series, this run-and-gun shooter is one of the most desirable standard-issue Super Famicom games. It is hard enough to find a bare cartridge of this game, but it will more the double the value if you have a complete boxed copy. Check for Rendering Ranger R2 on eBay |
Limited Edition Collectables
 |
Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartidge: $200 - $727 Rarity =  Donkey Kong Country Competiton cartidges were used by Blockbuster Video in tournaments held within the store, and never receieved a true commercial release. (The cartridge is rumored to have a print run of 2,500 copies) As typical with most video rental stores, a few leftover carts were tossed into the bargain bins for customers to purchase. Nintendo Power also offered some extra carts in their catalog. See Latest Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartridge on eBay |
 |
Starfox: Super Weekend Cartridge: $218 - $282 Rarity = Much like the DKC Competiton cartidges, this Star Fox cart was used by Blockbuster for game tournaments and extra carts were sold off by Blockbuster and Nintendo Power. An article included in the original packaging suggests that the Starfox Weekend cart actually had a smaller production number (around 2,000) than the DKC cart, but for some reason the Star Fox cart has showed up on auction sites a bit more often and has fetched a lower price. See Latest Star Fox Super Weekend Cartridge on eBay |
 |
Exertainment Mountain Bike Rally/Speed Racer Combo: $150 - $200 Rarity = Ok before somebody gets excited about the cover art to the left, that is for the more common version that only has the Mountain Bike Rally Game. The rare version of this game actually has the Speed Racer game on it as well. For use with the LifeFitness Bike Unit. One of the rarest games for the system, as it may have not seen full or any retail distribution. This 2 in 1 most likely never made it to any stores, and most copies that have been found have been from NOA’s warehouse itself! |
Treasured Standard USA Releases
 |
Earthbound: $66 - $181 Rarity =  Another game that is not hard to find, but is very popular. The game is famous for its cult like following of fans. It is a non-traditional RPG taking place in suburbia and weapons are every day household items. Still regarded as one of the most enjoyable RPGs to this day. Check for Earthbound on eBay |
 |
Ogre Battle The March of the Black Queen: $61 - $149 Rarity =  Enix, the publishers of the game, only made 25,000 copies of the game for sale in the US. The game is very hard to find because of this limited release. The Ogre Battle is a very good strategy RPG game too, so many RPG fans want to buy it just to get a chance to enjoy a great game. Check for Ogre Battle The March of the Black Queen on eBay |
 |
Ninja Gaiden Trilogy: $60 - $135 Rarity = All three NES Ninja Gaiden games combined onto one cartridge with some graphical improvements and passwords added, but gamers didn’t think this was enough to warrant a purchase. The game didn’t sell well on initial release. Collector’s want the game now because it is hard to find and they get three games for the price of one, even if that price is fairly steep. Check for Ninja Gaiden Trilogy on eBay |
 |
Castlevania Dracula X: $59 - $100 Rarity =  Castlevania Dracula X is the final Castlevania game released on the SNES and like many games in a series the later versions don’t sell as well. However, the hardcore following of the series and SNES collectors keep the price of this title rather high. Check for Castlevania Dracula X on eBay |
 |
Harvest Moon: $57 - $95 Rarity = Harvest Moon was released the same year the Nintendo 64 was launched so many gamers had already moved onto Nintendo’s new console and didn’t bother buying this game. The Harvest Moon series also has a cult following of gamers who want to farm and try to get a girl to like them. This is the first in the Harvest Moon series so many of these fans want to buy the game that started it all. Check for Harvest Moon on eBay |
 |
EVO the Search for Eden: $56 - $90 Rarity = The game is not really hard to find, but is very popular and therefore expensive. It is a unique platforming/role-playing game and is very highly regarded by gamers which helps increase its popularity. Check for EVO the Search for Eden on eBay |
 |
Chrono Trigger: $53 - $1,217 Rarity = The game is not rare, but is rated as one of the best games of all time on many gamers’ lists. It was created by an all-star cast of developers and stands up to the test of time in terms of story and game play. Typically, a complete copy of Chrono Trigger goes for about $120, but when a sealed copy showed up on eBay bidding exceeded $1,200. Check for Chrono Trigger on eBay |
 |
Mega Man X3: $49 - $194 Rarity = Mega Man X3 was one of two games to use a specialized chip called Cx4 that allowed for some 3D graphics in games (Mega Man X2 being the other title). Because of this chip it is an oddity and has some of the best graphics on the SNES. It is also hard to find. These two factors combine to make it one of the more expensive Super Nintendo games. Check for Mega Man X3 on eBay |
 |
Aero Fighters - $50 - $120 Rarity =  The game was released as an arcade game in 1992 and then ported to the SNES two years later. When it was brought over they made very limited quantities so it is one of the hardest games to find on the system. The price isn’t as high as other games but the chances of seeing this game are much lower. . Check for Aero Fighters on eBay |
 |
Super Mario RPG: $44 - $157 Rarity = An RPG developed by Squaresoft featuring Mario and the Mushroom Kingdom? How is this not a recipe for collectability? Again, this game is far from rare, but collectors (especially of boxed games) keeps the value of this gem flying high. Check for Super Mario RPG on eBay |
The Rarest Games At Affordable Prices 
Each of these games have a rarity rating of 7 or 8, but routinely sell for less than $30. If you are an SNES collector and see a boxed or sealed copy of any of these on eBay for a low price, you might want to snatch them up — you may never see them again.

Does anyone know if Ninja Gaiden Trilogy is NTSC only? Because I haven’t found any indications to indicate if it ever saw a PAL release.
There are a few SNES games that I missed out on the first time round which either never came to Australia or are way too expensive. Last I had a fully boxed version of Harvest Moon.
i had bought ogre battle for like $15 when i was like 13, i don’t know what happened to it, i loved that friggin game.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v177/washerdryercombo/EXPENSIVEGAME.jpg
Here’s a picture of the actual mountain Bike Rally/Speed Racer box. Feel free to use it if you like.
Thanks! That’s incredible that you have a sealed copy
Lufia and the Rise of the Sinistrals — one of the BEST games I’ve ever played. I still play it every now and then.
I sold a copy of Ergheiz and Einhander both rare Squaresoft Playstation games for $240 on Ebay about a year ago.
Damn those were good games… I miss them.
I have all these NTSC games, i have half of them factory sealed
truly fun itmes to own.
secret of mana did not hit the list? I would of expected that game to be a bit rare?
I only found out there was a Japan-only dodge ball game released for the SNES a short while ago, and now I see it’s also the most valuable SNES game there is (at least for its gold cartridge edition.) I don’t know about the SNES version but I’m a huge, huge fan of Super Dodge Ball for the NES (just check my website for proof). Nice list!
How do some of you get so many sealed copies of these games? Did you buy them back when they came out and never open them? Buying new, sealed SNES games on this list would cost a small fortune.
Does anyone know if Final Fantasy 2 American version or Final Fantasy Mystic Quest are worth anything like some of the ones listed above
super mario RPG is the best game for SNES
Chrono Trigger FTW!!!!!!
I totally missed out on some great games that generation. I for some reason decided to go Sega Genesis this gen rather than the SNES. I had some awesome times but look at all I missed. Good luck getting them now. I’m not paying $200+ for those games now.
I got a great job making video game software by posting my resume at http://www.computerjobs.com/userlogin.aspx?_panel=1&mkt=t6
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v177/washerdryercombo/finalfightguy.jpg
You should also include Final Fight Guy to your list. The game was only available at Blockbuster for rent making practically impossible to fine a copy of the game let alone a box in good condition.
It’s about a 150 dollar game.
Oh yeah! Nice list! And naturally I own none of these… hehe
I sold my copy of Super Mario RPG to one of my friends a long time ago…i sooo regret doing that, but i think i can still get it back from him! I hope…
I know its not a US release, but I dont see Terranigma there, I love my copy
Cool, when is the last time I played anyone of them lol
http://www.americanidolpixelmania.com
You forgot my favorite Atari 2600 game…..Custers Revenge!
I love these lists, though it’s always funny to see games that aren’t that great become so highly valued. Most people agree that the NES versions of Ninja Gaiden are better than Ninja Gaiden Trilogy ports for example.
And those “special” versions of Starfox and Donkey Kong Country? Why not just buy the FULL versions for less? Collecting is a strange hobby sometimes.
I am loving these lists though as I’ve said, and it’s always great to see games on there that DESERVE to be highly sought after, like Mega Man X3 and Super Mario RPG.
i dont know if anyone put this down (cus i dont wanna read. but FF3 (SNES American) is worth a butt load. last one i saw in a store w/o box was about $75
I LOVE Earthbound. I still have my original copy…Hell, I still play it.
One game that is very rare is combetribes. A very cool game.
Some guy said that “FF3 is worth a buttload” above. I see it constantly on ebay for $20-30. That’s not a “buttload”. It also went down in price after the GBA FF6 came out.
I was shocked while reading this, I have nearly every game you mentioned except Harvey Moon, Earthbound, Ninja Gaiden Trilogy, and the imports. What’s even more shocking is that I got all of them for $6 or less at local pawn shops. And try this: I have THREE copies of Chrono Trigger. I’m not bragging, but I am trying to illustrate a point: I live in a town of 40,000 people, and these were all relatively .. not EASY, but not IMPOSSIBLE to find just by going to thrift stores/pawn shops for years. So, my advice to anyone who is reading this, this may seem obvious, but don’t look to ebay or amazon for your gaming needs… explore your town.
I was surprised that Dracula X was worth that much. I remember picking it up at a pawn shop and not liking it, because.. well, its’ pretty bad.. luckily, I got Castlevania IV about a week later at the same place for $6.
I have a 720 SNES NTSC game collection, 667 have manuals, maps, posters, etc… 40 are in boxes, 2 sealed. Also accessories like complete Miracle Piano System and stand, Batter-Up boxed, Lethal Enforcer with pistol boxed, Super Scope 6 with rifle boxed, controllers, etc… Trying to get the word out that I will be auctioning the entire collection on Ebay at the end of March, no later than the first week in April 2008. I’ve only seen one other auction similar to this and it sold for $15.5k on Ebay March of 2007. I do not want to part with it but just purchased a dream fishing camp on Pearl River and wife say’s something has to go to pay for it!!! Spread the word!!!
Street Fighter Alpha is missing here. It had special hardware built into the cartridge.
Perhaps poit was referring to [F]inal [F]ight 3? Released in the SNES’ twilight, I have yet to locate a copy.
I did pick up a copy of Earthbound at a local mom-and-pop game store for about $40 though, so…yay
\ ^o^ /
Oh man, I didn’t thought Ninja Gaiden Trilogy was rare, I saw one selling in a store for 2$…it was used but still…
okay well i’ve had the super nintendo like all my life
and it still works!! i found it in my
basement but i cuddnt seem to find the ONE game
i alwayz played and loved it.. && i cnt member
the name of it
it starts out as your this boy with blue hair
and u like swing around on branches
and then everytime u fall on the prikly things
or get hit u slowly turn into a monkey
anyone know wat im talkin bout?
Boy with blue hair? –> Breath of Fire II?
Hey i have a variety of unboxed SNES games, i know that there isnt much demand for unboxed Snes games these days, i need a site that i can look up the worth of some of my games, for example mystic quest, i know for a fact that this game is rare…..any suggestions??? thanks
The game with the blue haired guy is called congo’s capers and its fairly cheap normally, i dont know if its worth anything though.
I have over 80 games for the super nintendo plus the gun.
I dont have any sporting games other then a couple martial arts games.
Can any one give me a clue as to how much i can get for them all in great shape?
I also have the game genie and books. some of the games still have the original box they came in.
I have all the mega men games.
And of course i have the supernintendo game system
It really depends on the games. I would recommend asking in the forum to get a good idea.
The final fantasy 1&2 combo in it’s original box is alot rarer and deserves top spot on the list of famicom imports.
Dude ie:(Just curious) I have like over freaken 500 snes titles and alot of the ones on this list. That is what true collecting is about
Thanks for the tip — I’ll look into those.
Do you happen to have a dollar value for the FF combo?
I have a friend who ownes one and he said he won’t sell it for less than $1000 .Personaly I only heard about it from reading the now defunct Tips&Tricks colectors closet. Not sure what issue but it is defenitly 2007 so you can check the back issues
I got a great deal on a box full of super nintendo games this week for $25! It had 17 games, 2 controllers and a 5 player hook up controller. The best game in the bunch was Orge Battle the march of the black queen! some of the other games of value were super mario kart, super metriod, zombies ate my neighbors, zelda link to the past, etc. I basically got Orge Battle the march of the black queen for $1.25! lol i love it. my pawn shop people around town are smart and they have different prices for games depending on their value. i got this deal from a college student who was moving back home.
Yo whats everyones rarest snes game. Mine is the final fantasy 1&2 famicom combo.(Just got it off my buddie)& is anyone willin to sell it to me??????
ogre battle and selling on ebay right now

Daniel Sorry buddie I live in Europe
Other favorite games of mine that I have are: Secret of Evermore, Secret of Mana (one of the greatest games of all time behind the FFs and CT), and of course, Mike Tyson’s Punchout
my rarest game is the pal-version of the StarFox Super Weekend Edition, called Starwing Competition Edition, in german (i think there exist pal-versions in german, french and english). i got it a while ago from a friend of mine for free (i even told him about its value before!).
one copy is on ebay right now:

i got every snes game ever made
yu yu hakusho dragon ball z and gundam imports aren’t even on there
Bought Mario RPG from the flea market today for $3! I go to the flea market every week and usually find 1 great game for cheap.
Glad to see I have some of games on that list. EVO is one of my favorite SNES games. Mario RPG is a must have, such a great game. I’m also a huge fan of the Castlevania series, so Dracula X is in my collection.
I always wanted to get Mega Man X2 and X3, but never felt like coughing up the dough. I really should get them soon though as SNES is my most cherished old school console.
Earthbound was such a hard game, I don’t think I would have ever finished it without the guide. I guess that’s why they packaged the game with it! What was great about the game, is that once you beat the final boss, you had to go around returning items to people you met along the way. Only when you went back to your “home” did you finally see the true ending! Great game! (And I still own it by the way ;P)
Big ups to Chrono Trigger as well, absolutely classic.
hi can some one help me i use to own a game called TIME but now i cant find it and i look on the internt to see if i can buy it but that game never comes up so can some 1 help me i dont know what im doing wrong it might be he worng name but yer idk please email me the name ty or what ever
There are games called “Time Slip,” “Time Trax,” and “Timecop.” Other then that, here are some titles that had ‘time’ in it… Illusion of Gaia was known as Illusion of Time in Europe. Mario’s Time Machine, TMNT4: Turtles in Time, Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego. There’s a few more, but I ruled them out.
Niiiiice list u got there. . Big fan of super mario rpg, megaman x3. What’s the donkey kong competition???? Neva heard of it. (Anyways best game I’ve ever bought UMK3
FF Mystic Quest can’t be worth too much, I’ve seen it over a dozen times and the game basically sucks (have had a copy for at least 15 years). Final Fantasy 3 is probably one of the greatest RPGs of all time. I guess final fantasy 2 didn’t make the list? My all time fav SNES game would probably be Utopia.
selling a lot of super nintendo games on Ebay. most of the games are complete including New Horizons and Uncharted Waters, Aerobiz 1 and Aerobiz supersonic
usa only auction
just type this in the search:
Super Nintendo 15 Game Lot! Most Complete!
Hi. Someone please help me out. I am trying to remember the name of a game for the super nintendo. I remember there were three mermaids and one gave you a sword the other gave you a shield and the other one i think gave a helmet. then you go fight (i think) underwater against some guys on seahorses or something. If you know the title of this game please reply or send me an email to eaglecfp@aol.com thanks
love the list , the most i’ve paid is 442 FOR paeodius , I DON’T THINK AUSTRALIA GOT IT.AM I RIGHT ?
I can’t believe how expensive he sell stuff here I mean for the same price of the nintendo package I bought the super nintendo two controler plus 10 games (Donkey kong country and meg man x3 where part of this package ) teaches people to shop around a bit I guess
i have ff3 dragon warrior4
i got a collection of 135 nes games and 2 toploaders and a mini super nes and about 30 snes nintendo is thee shit .
i only found out not that long ago they had Harvest moon for the super nintendo and when i searched for it and saw pictures of it..makes me want it!!!!i already have alot of harvest moon games(not every single one though..)
You missed The Wizard of Oz. I’m not sure what it’s worth, but I heard from someone who works at Slackers (It’s a midwest retro gaming store) that it’s pretty rare. I have it, and I think it’s a lot of fun. I mean, it’s not worth much, but it’s just so hard to find anymore cuz not many people bought it when it was out.
You guys forgot to add Internation superstar soccer deluxe right on top of the list, to me it is one of the best among the other. And yeah, still playing my snes…ALways, don’t touch it! Later
Hea I finaly got the UK versian of Harvest Moon (factory sealed original box) would any one happen to have a value for it( i bought it from a little flea market so….)???
I actually won the store championship at my local blockbuster playing Donkey Kong Country for N64. I wish i had a copy of that cartridge.
I mean SNES not N64.
suprised there is no mention of Captain Novolin…
little known game, looks pretty pricey on eBay..
Haven’t heard of it — any idea of price ranges?
on ebay there were couple going for 70 - 80 bucks
Hey!
I am wondering if anyone has any Super Nintendo games or any equipment they want to sell. I don’t care if they are valuable, I let my kids play with my old one and I think they are getting bored with the few selection that I have for the game system.
I’ll get back to you with the full list of games I have right now, but just to name a few.
I have Beavis & Butthead
Mario Allstars
Starfox
Spectra
Mario Land
Mortal Kombat 1,2,&3 (I think)
Street Fighter
I have a few more I’ll have to go look at them to get the rest of the list.
But please do help me, I want to find them something different to play.
Thanks!
*mary*
Why didn’t Dragonview make it to this list? I’ve only ever found one copy after renting it a thousand times from 1 video rental store and the copy I bought was from the same store when they went outta buisness. They should have given me the darn thing at that point.
Great game if you can pick it up. The 3d mapview was the only downfall… but you can look past that with everything else.
Dragonview doesn’t even sell for $17 on eBay.
There were a bunch listed for that price, but nobody bought it….
wheres final fight guy?
Hey there can someone help just dug out sns got the power cord what other cord do i need and were does it go
Compared to many of the other Super Famicom games, FF Guy wasn’t THAT expensive. It’s a nice piece though.
@ racketboy
The actual rare version one of the above posters is talking about was an exclusive blockbuster only version. Not the standard SFC one.
It has english instructions, special box and ntsc cart i believe. Im still on the look out for one
Crazy how the SNES prices are at the moment, people paying tons for non rare games
Thanks for the clarification, sypher
No worries, great work by the way!
One of my favorite games had to be U.N. Squadron. I’ve seen it on Ebay , but im pretty sure i can find it at one of the flea markets around town. I think the snes had the best games of all time, due to the originality and the fact that they were simple and fun.
I acquired a Super NES game cart entitled “Super 7 in 1″. It is probably a Famicon game. Can anyone tell me about this game and its value???
I have an old Mario 3 game that allows you to keep getting bigger by pushing certain buttons. It has been years since I have played it, so I think that was how it happened. The subject came up lastnight with my son (who is almost as old as the game)he said there were only 200 that were released with that mistake. I am unable to find info on it online. Can anyone point me in the right direction, also interested in its value, still works fine.
Thank You
I have downloaded a rom set containing over 9GB (that’s gigabytes!) of SNES roms. While their’s not that many different games for SNES to make such a large file, this rom set contains different versions (such as beta, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, etc) of most games as well as different regions U, E, J (US NTSC, Europe PAL, and Japan NTSC-J) verssions of most games. It also contains level edits and graphics/text edits of some of the more popular games (such as Super Mario World). This adds up. So when I saw about the rare games list here I decided to check my own SNES roms on my emulator. And found I have a rom of the SUPER RARE and SUPER EXPENSIVE dodge ball game. As proof, here’s the file name:
Kunio-kun no Dodge Ball - Zenin Shuugou! Tournament Special (J) [!].smc
galera preciso de ajuda pra achar um jogo nao encontro e tbm nao sei o nome, e de um menino tipo um mago com uma varinha e soltar uns podersin, se alguem souber pleasi ajude xD
hey do u all realize that you can play these games again absolutely free with emulators. just google snes emulator
Man…what I wouldn’t give to find a working copy of Wild Guns for SNES…
I recently restarted Earthbound. My friend bought it from Goodwill a few years ago for $3 and gave it to me when he was done with it. Great game, I don’t think I’d sell it even for $50.
$150 though, maybe we can talk.
what about international superstar soccer regular and deluxe version? Those are pretty rare aren’t they?
Is that a PAL release? Unfortunately, I don’t know a ton about PAL exclusives.
Hey
I traded in my SNES a long time ago and all the games but i have recently found the boxes for the games. i was just wondering if these empty boxes were worth anything?
some people might pay a decent amount for them so they can make their games worth more. you might want to sell them as a group on ebay
mang wish i still kept my old games and buy 2 copys of everythin and leave 1 mint n sealed hehe…
wish i was a lil older than so i can work n have the money for it grrr…
o wells… ill find them one by one
Here are some of the most valuable PAL SNES titles:
Secret Of Mana = 100$
Secret Of Evermore = 80$
Castlevania - Vampires Kiss = 250$
Starwing Super Weekend = 200$ (Starfox Competition Cartridge)
Harvest Moon - 200$
The Firemen - 100$
I have a NES Metriod sill in the box, original everything. How much is it worth??? let me know. my email is stmin2008@gmail.com
Another good source for finding vintage games is craig’s list, people are constantly unloading all kinds of video game stuff there. If you put in an add (free) that you buy video games, I promise you your e-mail will blow up, especially in the bigger cities. Love this site, keep it up.
@Qweetix:
Are you talking about sealed copies? Harvest Moon is by no means worth so much!! You can get the PAL version for about $40 dollar CIB. Secret of Mana isn’t worth that much either, as well as Secret of Evermore. I agree with Starwing Super Weekend Competition and Castlevania though..
Trashfan: Yeah, I’m talking about boxed copies. Harvest Moon is very rare, 40$ is for the german PAL version. English or Australien PAL is really expensive… This is my opinion, but maybe you are right about Mana and Evermore.
I have a Super com comsole from Germany that has many games programed inside but can also use the cartridges. I have only see it once before at a nintendo museum site. I was wondering if anyone knows the value of this? Thank you, Daniela
if its hard to find, then collectors will pay almost anything! Just remember theres no such thing as how much something is worth, its simply how high will you keep bidding over someone else to get your item! In that sense you may make more money selling items individually than as a collection on occasion. If you sell ebay, remember to be as clear as possible in the description on how collectible or rare your item is. Boxed copies will always go for far higher prices than cart only. It seems most of the collectible games on the snes are either rpgs or carts produced only for competitions, which can often sell for around the £50 or $100 mark, sometimes alot more.
just a note, if you really want to make big money out of your collections, then you should really keep them for at least another 10 yrs
you know items are far more collectible when they are completely impossible to find.. and i still see the odd super nintendo appear in the second hand section of the local newspaper! you may be able to sell items now for $100+, but how are you going to feel if in the yrs to come, you could have sold them then instead for 4x as much. Lol
they may be worth more in the future but if you need the money now it might make sense to get rid of them since the future value is most likely going to be inflation more than the rarity, and hardcore collectors will be more picky about what they want i guess it could pay off big, i hope so i have a few hundred nes games and 150 or so snes games plus many systems and extras i can’t bear to part with them but maybe for the right price i would they are practicly priceless to me already.
Dang, I wish I lived in a big city for gaming reasons. I have to use ebay for my gaming needs as my local used video game store charges wayyyyy to much for games. They want like $40 for Contra III cart only. $27 for Super Mario World which is nuts.
What about Terranigma? It was never released in the US and is the “sequel” to Illusion of Gaia. Great game, and very rare and coveted.
the harvest moon game cart is rare I would give it a 4.5/5.
Terranigma is the best rpg ever released on the snes!
I have a mint copy of the game. Why this game never was released in the US is a mystery to me.
Other great rare snes games:
Ninja Warriors
Run Saber
Knights Of The Round
King Of Dragons
