all i have to say is good luck because most earthbound related stuff is either difficult to find or extremely expensive

I think this is my favorite looking pong machine.

For the last 4 years I have been looking for a Neo Geo Pocket Color and for various reasons I have had deals fall through.

The original Revenge of Shinobi where they have Spiderman, Godzilla, and Batman as bosses. From what I can tell, there is no way to tell the difference until you buy it and bring it home. This means either paying a ridiculous amount online or just buying a whole bunch of copies and hoping.

There are a few for me. First of all is a decently priced copy of Earthbound. I haven't seen one in the wild in years.
Another one is the TMNT arcade game. The first one or turtles in time. It doesn't matter. I really want one. I have one sniffed out right now, but I don't know if he'll come off it enough for me to pull the trigger.
The last one I'll mention is Snow Bros on NES. I have seen just about every game at one time or another, but I have never laid eyes on this one. I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and buy it from ebay.  :(

A reasonably priced, near-mint copy of the black label version of Front Mission 5: Scars of the War. It's not necessarily impossible to find, but it's made much more difficult when a lot of sellers don't specify which version they're selling.

I'd just like a reasonably priced Famicom to NES adapter.  They seem to have gone way up in price, on eBay anyway.

Mega Man Legends 2 (PS1), at a decent price. It seems crazy that the average price for a used copy is more than the price for a copy of it when it was brand-new.

Famicom to NES or do you mean the convertors that come in some of the black box games? I see those often enough.

I would like to get The Ultimate Wizardry Archives on PC.  Every time I find one though it is really expensive.

I mean the actual adapters to play Famicom games on a NES.  Not the ones inside the games, although it would be cool to find one of those too.

I had one of each. Gave the official one to someone I used to hang out with, still have the one that came in the game I found. They are easily missed in black box games so if you visit the local gaming resale places, Im sure you can find one if you know what to look for.
