Rare Wii & Wii U Games?

It’s hard to determine rarity for a system that not many people seek out games for. Perhaps there is a low supply of prints for the list in the OP, but availability for many of them is still quite high. Once a low print game becomes sought after people see it as rare. By that standard, I’d say that most obscure Wii games are rare. Just not in demand yet. Most of the ones I see in the OP list are ones I come across on semi-frequent occasion.

There’s a number of really low quality shovel ware games that hardcores have deemed ultra rare, like those awful Maximum Family Games titles, and I think couple of the Zoo ones.

With Wii U I’d say take note of every Wii U section you see in a GS store. The library is so small there should be a reasonable expectation to see about everything. If there’s some that just aren’t turning up, that’s probably a sign of a lower print. I don’t pay much attention anymore because I pretty much finished up my Wii U collecting several years back.

the rare games already sell for a decent amount.

hello kitty racers mario & sonic olympics at rio to name some examples.

if the prices arent there they probably have plenty of copies to go around.

if it ever was rare in the USA the price drop is most likely thanks to the switch port wich aside from better grapics has extra content. in other words a superior version of the game wich as a bonus is a portable game aswell.

It’s not the port. It’s been at the outlet since before that was announced.

I went ahead and got it. $15 is a good deal even if it’s not that uncommon.

pzeke:
It's funny how out of the 10 or so games I'm interested to get for the Wii U, the second game I'm the most interested to get happens to be the most expensive. I know Devil's Third got pricey quite fast, but I wish I had taken advantage of that brief window where it was still affordable. Although, now that I think about it, the Walmart I frequent the most in my area never had it in stock...or at least it was never during my many visits at the time.

I still plant to get it once I get myself a Wii U, but I'm not sure I'd be willing to go Gotcha Force on it.
