Can anyone fill me in on the rarest ones? A list perhaps of the hardest famicom carts to find. Thanks
Hard to say, really. I've never come across a game that was all that rare. I can think of special versions of some carts, like gold Rockman 4 or that one final Gundam (I think) of which they only made 1,000. Otherwise, I'm drawing a blank.
When I Landed in Akihabara, the most expensive games I found in shops were Special Kung-Fu with english letters, Gold puch out, Snowbros, Moero Twin bee, Castlevania 1 (Dracula's Castle I think), in this order.
Snow bros was very expensive, about 20000y or so, Gold 45000, and Kung-fu don't remember but I believe it goes something like 100000y maybe more. Crazy!
Oh, I forgot about those. There's also Special Pro-Wrestling, which sells big. Those prices you were seeing, mundocombo, seem a little bit inflated. Maybe that's because it was in a store and not in an auction. I just bought a CIB Gold Punch-Out, with the letter, for 20500yen. Probably too much, since I was only one of two bidders, but I've sold a shit CIB one on eBay for over $300.
yesyes, talking about stores, potatos and softmaps etc
Anyone knows about snow bros? Is it really so rare? it cost me a lot, but i cannot let it pass when i had it in my hands... Never saw one in yahoo too, only pirates.
BTW some new games are coming to me now :p I'll show yiu when those beauties arrive
I've never seen Snow Bros. for sale either. I imagine it's hard to come by. Probably as hard as Bio Miracle, the cart version. I've seen a CIB Bio Miracle sell for a couple to several hundreds of dollars.
WOW I have to get me one of those rare carts!
I'm having a lot of trouble of finding some of Hacker International games. Miss Peach World is very rare and expensive. Still looking for it :(

This is from jbholio's site: HERE (http://www.er.uqam.ca/merlin/fd491499/nintendo/nes/hackerinternational/misspeachworld/).
uhh me want
I was just in Toyko a few days ago and took a picture of this for you guys. It's a Gold Dodgeball and it's in some sort of glass case. I don't know anything about except it is damn expensive! 690000 Yen!!! = about $6000!!!!

Is that a Super Famicom cart? Kinda looks like it. Neat as heck, whatever it is. Wish we knew the story behind it.
yeah, super famicom
That Super Dodge Ball cart is badass, but for $6,000, it would have to be solid gold, cook me dinner, and give me sex on call for the next year.
sick! i wonder what it was made for, maybe another contest?
From some quick research I did I found that its called:
Kunio Kun Dodgeball Zenin Shuugou! Tournament Special (gold SFC cart)
It was a prize for some kind of tournament and only 10 were made.
Only in Japan would a cart sell for $6,000.
You're forgetting the Nintendo World Championship gold cart that sells for $5000 on ebay here in the states. 26 were made.
I thought the last one went for like $2k? I can appreciate collecting and all of that, but I can't imagine any game that would bring me $2000 worth of entertainment or joy. Let alone $5000 or $6000.
$5,100

Unbelievable. People are crazy.
Actually no they're not, 5k is a small price to pay if thats the only thing you need to complete your collection. The people who paid 100 for a metroid manual on the other hand were quite crazy and in need of mental care
That Super Famicom cart looks great. I wonder if anyone actually bought it...
That thing will be in that store forever.......

Who knows :)
I was looking at it in Super Potato, isn't it?
yep
Amazing rare stuff!
Beside the grails listed on this site, are there any other super rare or expensive games for the famicom?
Tons. One that comes to mind is Mr. Splash, there's also All Night Nippon and I Am a Teacher: Super Mario no Sweater.
Would Super Mario World on famicom be considered rare?
The JY Company 45-in-1 is more rare than the single cart itself. It's also in higher demand since it has the full version. On this forum though, I've seen the single cart version go for $45.
The single cart SMW is highly sought after but not rare at all.
That weirdo science and materials teaching cart (that wasn't a commercial release) I forget the name. Hella rare and expensive!
Kind of hazardous materials and physical science..

Actually, there are two Konami teaching cart, a high school one and a college one. I forget the names, but I've got pics of both somewhere. I think the adaptor you need to play them is more rare than the games.
Maybe this is one of the ones you're talking about, JC, but there's that one that explains stocks (or something like that) to new employees, and it used the Family Computer keyboard.
I have a Gold Super Xevious with a Japanese label which has five Japanese characters on the top of the label. Maybe it's a special edition. I think it's pretty rare. I bought it dirt cheap, somewhere around $20 on ebay. I think I got it from Canada. The cart has one small crack on the side though.
Can you post a photo of that?
All of the Super Xevious carts are gold. I'm guessing the 5 Japanese characters are ガンプの謎? That just says Gamp no Nazo (Mystery of GAMP), which is the subtitle of the game. I don't think it's anything special.
I do believe that is the one I have. A photo? Not now. I need a camera.

I think you overpaid.
I second what nurd said.
I have sold my Super Xevious to UglyJoe for 5$.
