What's the rarest game you own?

Complete in box, Dark Cloud 2 consistently gets bids in the $25-30 range on eBay. So, I wouldn't say "rare" but "uncommon".

Dark Cloud 2 was one of my higher-value thrift store finds ever.

It's in box but has one of those old yellow gamestop stickers on it. Not that I'd sell it.
 
Oh, I didn't sell my copy either, I just find that the eBay value is generally a good indicator of rarity.

Not exactly rare, but it was (and kinda still is!) an expensive game for awhile before Nintendo released a $20 dollar version of it. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. I got it for Christmas in 2014 right before Nintendo stopped producing copies and the game went from 40 bucks to 80 within a span of a year. So I guess that kinda counts as rare.

I don't own very many games and really only play on the 3DS and WiiU. However a friend of mine came by and told me my copy of Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn was a limited release title. And it went for about $50.

Is it really? I picked that up when I bought my 3DS.

Yeah, it was like that for awhile. Then Nintendo released the "Nintendo Selects" version and the market for the original copies has seemed to die down as far as I can tell.

I've noticed there are a lot of expensive Nintendo games. One series I fell in love with was Fire Emblem and almost every other game I found was crazy expensive.

They can be expensive, depending on their rarity, how long they ran for, and where they came from. Like for LoZ: OoT 3D, since it had such a limited print run at first, it skyrocketed to some crazy prices until Nintendo re-released it for 20 bucks, or before that, if you didn't want to spend your college fund on a physical copy, it's on the eShop for about the price it went for-40 bucks.

If you're looking for games like Fire Emblem though, you might wanna stick with Amazon. It can get crazy on eBay. o__o;
 
I've got an unused boxed copy of Super Mario RPG I should really put on eBay that I got when it came out before realising I couldn't use it on a UK snes.

I've noticed. I just pick up Birthright, Fates and Awakening. I have Radiant Dawn, but getting a copy of Path of Radiance is like what now 100 bucks!?
 
I've got a copy of EGG: Elemental Gimmick Gear in my Dreamcast collection, as well as Skies of Arcadia and Illbleed
 
The ones I have aren't really rare, per se. Just so overrated that absolutely no one bought them because they were that bad.

BuildnRace for the Wii. The title makes it that fucking obvious. Controls sucked ass, it wouldn't let you play unless the track was complete, loading was a bitch, and that was basically all to it. You build a track and drive around on it. $40 at Target.

I have a copy of Zelda: A Link To The Past somewhere in my mothers attic. along with a still-functional SNES... However almost 2 decades of damp/dust/spiders has probably changed that.
 
latest

I remember picking it up at a Toys'r'Us for 30 bucks back in the day and I still have the manual, map, and box it came with.
 
Either Mc Kids or the (awful) Hudson Hawk game my friend traded me for a Jose Canseco cracker jack prize-card (fuck I'm old)

Wait, that can't be right, I traded that card in the 80s and Hudson Hawk didn't hit until the 90s. I wanna say I got Kid Niki from him. Still a shitty game
