    Cooking mama 2, in france the first available retail copies were bugged with a glitch that freezes the game right after the first level, so it was being recalled everywhere, used to work at a gameshop back then and we did send them all back. This alone must make it the rarest DS game to have now, The first edition of Cooking mama 2 with the glitch in it, i think it was on store briefly for like less than a day, the copies must have been destroyed by the publisher, if anyone can back some info on this maybe?

      It is a good game for the Ds, it doesn't hold up great today due to all the loading, but it did do abit more then ACWW, where you can fly to an Island to fish. There mystery missions to do to but you have a play often enough to get the effects. There hidden characters, like making everyone believe in a fairy and well you meet a fairy. It really good for a ds game considering how much they crammed onto it. I couldn't personally get into it due to the spells and everything cost tones and it took forever to build money unlike animal crossing. So its a hit and miss. In the UK the game worth £30

    I absolutely love "Solatorobo: Red The Hunter", which I still have in my Nintendo DS library, and it is perhaps the only JRPG-style game ever made in which the characters are anthropormorphic animals instead of humans, which is probably the reason why it remains one of my favorite games on the console, and I really wish other companies that work on RPGs like Square-Enix would design games with those kinds of characters as well! ^^

According to many, they are actually worse in that regard than the Mario Party games, and Mario Party is NOTORIOUS for killing friendships en mass.

    I believe the NTSC version of Animaniacs was cancelled due to the Bad press in Europe. I mean think about it. There's no real point in shelling the game out if it got slammed hard in another region. Yeah they could sell it on shelves but at the same time printing those copies would be expensive. And consumers who buy the game wouldn't be paying that much to even cover 1/4 of the printing cost. To the company it was essentially a failed project so they decided to simply stop production, call up any store or even any Warehouses they had that kept the copies and told them to return everything. Happened a few times with other games so who's to say it didn't happen here? There's been some games that got made over in Japan that got panned by critics which HAD an English translation and all but because of the low scores and failure over in that region, the translation and shipping was scrapped making the game or even series a Japan or European exclusive.

    @BreyChing 5 років тому +2

    After a good amount of research, I thoroughly believe that the Animaniacs: Lights, Camera, Action video game was canceled for a release in America. So, let's see how I did. First, I had to find out the main differences between PAL packaging and NA packaging. That resulted in a difference in ratings (PAL had a Pegi rating, while NA had the ESRB). I conducted a search from there, following Nintendrew's steps along the way. First, I looked on third-party selling sites such as eBay to start. There, I found that most, if not all of the copies that were being sold were PAL copies. This resulted in a dead end as Nintendrew had mentioned. Next, I decided to continue my search on first-party sites such as Amazon and Gamestop. There, I noticed that both were selling different cover arts for the game. The main difference between the two is the logos, where the PAL version has Warner Bros, Nintendo, etc, the NA version only has the logo of the publisher, Ignition Entertainment. While Amazon was selling games with the PAL cover, I saw that Gamestop was selling what can be assumed as the NA cover art. Finally, I looked on Nintendo's website and the ESRB to confirm some loose ends. On ESRB's website, I found that there was an actual rating for the NA title, but not much else. When I looked on Nintendo's website, I believe that I found what I believe to be some sort of divider between released and unreleased. There, I found out that the cover art for the game matched the one that I found on Gamestop, but also that there seem to be either a lack of production of the game or just a flat out cancellation of the release. When looking at release titles for the Nintendo DS, I was able to find the game, but no way to buy a physical copy. I thought of this a confirming point but soon found out that other games also had this lack of physical copies. This story, of course, has many twists and turns after all, with some collectors on Reddit explaining how a NA copy of Animaniacs: Lights, Camera, Action is actually real, but didn't find enough physical evidence to base my conclusion on it.
    Therefore, I think that due to a dwindling fanbase and a horrid review score, Animaniacs: Lights, Camera, Action was canceled before release. Thank you for reading, and I hope this satiates for those who were wondering about what happened.

    My guess is that NTSC Animaniacs DS is the Honus Wagner Card of video games - it was released, or at least manufactured, but recalled so fast or even before official launch that only a few copies of it slipped through. If it was recalled before release, there is a chance that some store somewhere didn't send back its shipment and kept it or sold it. Had the recall been post release, then for sure at least a few copies exist somewhere.

Do you have Kirby Super Star Ultra for the Nintendo DS? I have a cartridge of it and ten more empty DS boxes, but I have not found even one full scan of the cover art. Maybe you could scan it in for me and a few others...?
