I have Karaoke 1 but was out sniped on 2 some years back, it went for just over 50 bucks CIB (quite worn).  I've been looking for it still, but it hardly shows up and when it does it goes for a lot :(

Only $50?  Guess someone got a deal, this one went for about $400 and also had a worn box (not too bad but some rough edges)

I have the first one which came with the controller too (which is also a bit hard to find, but maybe not as much as 2?  Not sure).  I have been meaning to give it a go sometime, I've had that microphone for a few years but have never used it.

Nice.  I would definitely imagine that 2 is rarer than one given the law of diminishing returns.  

1 had the microphone to help leverage it into stores but (assuming it was released later) when 2 arrived stores would have already realised it wasn't a success so lower orders, rarer game etc. is my theory.

I thought 1 was released as a single pack?  I have the machine itself, and it has games built inside, though I also know there are actual cartridges (1 and 2), both of which I have been looking for .

of my few cib carts it seems super contra is worth a bit more than i paid for it.
The rest are mainly just generic and common titles it really is a bad time to start collecting cib games i guess.

1 and 2 were released stand alone, but I mean that less owners of the Mic will have 2 than one.  So if you think the Mic is rare, then think that only some of those owners will have one, and in turn only some of those again will have gone for 2.  That's my logic, I've only ever seen two copies of number 2 put it that way ;)
