I feel like 13 sentinels:aegis rim will see a small price hike in the future... i don't know anyone personally who even knew about it coming out and even fewer who actually bought it... anything vanillaware usually holds its value pretty well...
This is definitely another one that's worth mentioning! I completely missed it when it first came out and found it a pain to get my hands on later!! Thank you for sharing and watching! :)
The only true rare games on switch are the ones that are only available for switch have no variants or collectors editions and no download versions. Of which there is not many. So it's good to know the difference between what is truly rare and what is expensive because of the amount of printed copies. None of the games on this list qualify.
That's where game collecting and just buying physical games in general is so tough. Like even something like the Wii U that wasn't even that long ago has many games with the same price as moderately expensive GameCube games I wish you the best of luck on your switch endeavor and I hope this video helped you pick out some games for your collection
Great video! I also would recommend checking out the Pokémon Sword/Shield + Expansion Pass physical copies. They have the DLC and updates on the cart and I feel like they disappeared like a month after they were put on shelves
i think a few of these have sold so many copies theyre unlikely to become difficult to get on the secondhand market. and with the way switch games are built, secondhand isnt as risky as other consoles.
5 years has really put this into overdrive and of course I'm a big fan of Neo being here because that game is absolutely amazing and the DQ builder games are just so much fun as a sandbox
Katamari Damacy Reroll was originally a GameStop exclusive for switch & got reprinted and sold elsewhere. I remember picking it up the day I got Smash Bros and didn't open it and seeing it resell on eBay for 80+ till the reprint. 😅
I highly recommend Astral Chain and Y's VIII, IX, and OriginI feel they're starting to get obscured as well you can still buy them but I feel they're not talked about as much
You inspired me to do a little research on some of those titles… and they are getting scarce quick. I’ve since nabbed Daemon X Machina, Hyrule Warriors, and Live A Live. Thanks for the heads up!
Glad I bought Hyrule warriors switch version back in 2021 when nobody wanted to buy it after several months on the shelves. Lucky me for being wise despite paid $50.
Yes! Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and Pokken I feel like no one knew those came out! I swear I was the only person i knew who purchased them and now I don't see them around. This was a great video with lots of fun titles!
Never noticed how Cadence of Hyrule doesn’t appear on shelves anymore till you mention it . When I first saw it in store I immediately bought it since I enjoyed Crypt of the NecroDancer and looked to be just more of that. One game I’d like to mention is Alliance Alive HD Remastered. It was a port of a 3DS game and I recall buying it a few years back but trading it in as I already had the 3DS version. Absolutely regret it now though since I cannot find it anywhere
There's definitely going to be regional specific (import related) price circumstances. I know in Eu/Au they didn't import physical copies of Mega Man Zero/Zx collection. So where as that might be a bargain in the states not so much over here.
It is ALWAYS a great time seeing Linkachu pop up on our feed! Incredible video! We wish we never sold the Hyrule Warriors Switch port! We only have it digitally for the Wii U!
Weird to see so many titles that were popular at first start to fall into the rare category. I’m already so behind on new games that I need to pick them up right away!
I noticed that both games Spirit Hunter Death Mark and Spirit Hunter: NG physical game copies are becoming rare and are going up in price. The sequel is coming out in February 2023 called Spirit Hunter Death Mark II all three games are available on Steam for $50 each but obviously they are way cheaper on the Switch. Also the WiiU port of The Wonderful 101 Remastered is quickly selling out as there are hardly no english carts left.
I have three of the games you’ve mentioned! 😯 I’m actually glad I’ve picked them up as soon as I saw them on the shelves. The three games I have is Neo: TWEWY, Warioware Get It Together, and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon DX. I love Pokémon Mystery Dungeon I remember being so excited when it came out! Now these games are sitting on my shelf with the rest of my collection
I already got Live a Live, Hyrule Warriors definited edition, Super Mario Party Dragon Quest Builders 2, Katamari Damacy Reroll. game builder garage, Pokemon mystery dungeon rescue team dx and Metroid prime remastered.
Something to keep in mind is some of these modern games can get reprints at any time. If demand and price goes up I can see them making more copies down the road.
Getting a lot of these for high MSRP s is probably not the smartest thing. If you have collected games from other recent system (say the Wii/Wii U), you will notice casuals people absolutely unload these things towards the end of the cycle if not a few years in to the new system. Thats where these will pop up locally as parents put up adds for their kids entire collection or people sell their collections to buy the new system. Lots of switch games will be coming on the market as people try to save up to buy the new switch system next year. Many of these would have sold enough to catch them for $20-30 at that time.
This video is definitely not telling people to buy it for high price. The point of the video is to spread awareness of these games that are not as popular or are becoming more rare so that they have a chance to grab them before they're completely gone from store shelves or also push to look into getting them on sale or from third party places like market places and other vendors. I appreciate your recommendation of people selling games near the end of the switches life! I often find some of my games second hand for a good price!
Just because you don't see them on store shelves, doesnt necessarily mean they are rare games. I wouldn't consider any of the games you have mentioned to be rare.
@@therealjaystone2344 out of print and supply and demand isn’t rare grasshopper the only rate titles are the ones who had the single procuring run by one of these 1 print only limited release companies that’s economics slappy
Heals my heart to see youngsters collectin physical games, holdin em in high regard.
Physical media is so important!! We have to preserve our media, and for me it's a way to remember and resonate with me media I love!
Sold me on so many titles here, especially Live Alive.
I'm super happy to hear it! Live A Live is a personal favorite for sure!!

I bought that game day one vanillaware is such an underrated company I've been a huge fan of it since Odin sphere back in the PS2 era
I got the Plat for it on ps4. Nobody knows about the game. Such a shame
Bayonetta 1 Pegi 18 is incredibly rare! 1 just sold for £150 ($190) on Ebay. Defo would watch out for it

I hate being late to the switch because I’m behind on so many games and now I’m so behind and there are so many games I really want.
That's where game collecting and just buying physical games in general is so tough. Like even something like the Wii U that wasn't even that long ago has many games with the same price as moderately expensive GameCube games

Steam Deck is there to help
I don;t think LiveALive will be worth anything.
Its on ps5, ps4 and pc now.
Great video! I also would recommend checking out the Pokémon Sword/Shield + Expansion Pass physical copies. They have the DLC and updates on the cart and I feel like they disappeared like a month after they were put on shelves
I remember that!! That's another great title to mention! Thank you for watching!

sonic mania plus physical copy, OMORI physical copy, Undertale physical copy
These are great titles to mention!! Thank you for sharing!
@@Linkachu33i also have commandos 1& 2 and shadow tactics for the switch. I highly recommend these games

Oh yeah also Bayonetta 1 variants are rare I believe.
Whoaaah! I remember it being strange when it first came out but I didn't know it was exclusive like that! Thanks for telling me!
I highly recommend Astral Chain and Y's VIII, IX, and OriginI feel they're starting to get obscured as well you can still buy them but I feel they're not talked about as much
Wario Ware Get it Together probably won't rise in value. It's way worse than other Wario Ware titles.
super mario party has been sold over 10 million times and is still available in mass in germany
You inspired me to do a little research on some of those titles… and they are getting scarce quick. I’ve since nabbed Daemon X Machina, Hyrule Warriors, and Live A Live. Thanks for the heads up!
I'm happy to have been able to help!! Thank you for watching!
I've never played Hyrule Warriors, but I think its time I get pick up a copy for my switch and check it out. Physical Games FTW!
Glad I bought Hyrule warriors switch version back in 2021 when nobody wanted to buy it after several months on the shelves. Lucky me for being wise despite paid $50.
It was a good choice despite the game being the exact same as on the WiiU and 3DS...
At least it had all DLCs in the base game but I didn’t know the game was discontinued when AoC came out
Yes! Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and Pokken I feel like no one knew those came out! I swear I was the only person i knew who purchased them and now I don't see them around. This was a great video with lots of fun titles!
Pokken is such a fun game!!
I actually own the super Mario party variant that has the 2 joycons included. That’s gonna be worth something someday
I can definitely see that variant being worth a pretty penny!! Thank you for sharing!
Still really want to play Live a Live and I think it's crazy that HW:DE is becoming rare! like, I have that one!

What's the point to buy Switch games now if Switch-2 is coming this year?
I got Dragon Quest Builders 1 and 2 ! Easily a hundred hours for each one
Super Mario party has sold just over 20 million copies...
Not rare
Love the video! As a physical game collector for Nintendo, you provided great information! Keep it up!! 5:25
Thank you so much!! That makes me very happy to hear!!
Please do a follow-up video! These videos are great for bringing awareness to titles I never even knew about. 😊
I'm so happy to hear such kind words! I did one video prior and I'd be happy to continue to do more!
i should buy metroid today
Do it!
I think basically all falcom games on switch will be expensive. Especially the trails games.
Hotline Miami
This game is a guaranteed cult classic. Story has a lot to offer if you look deeply...
There's definitely going to be regional specific (import related) price circumstances.
I know in Eu/Au they didn't import physical copies of Mega Man Zero/Zx collection. So where as that might be a bargain in the states not so much over here.
Oooh that's great to know! Thank you for sharing
There has been more than 20 million copies sold of Mario party, your tripping dude
this layton game on the switch is just plain bad.. sonnot a good pickup, i think..
It is ALWAYS a great time seeing Linkachu pop up on our feed! Incredible video! We wish we never sold the Hyrule Warriors Switch port! We only have it digitally for the Wii U!
Man you need to add Pikmin 3 lol As soon as Pikmin 4 dropped, Pikmin 3 was SNATCHED OFF THE SHELVES
That one was on my list and decided against mentioning it... really crazy to see it vanish like that though!
Well if these games become rare, then I know some games that could cost 1000$.
420th like
Thank you!
Weird to see so many titles that were popular at first start to fall into the rare category. I’m already so behind on new games that I need to pick them up right away!
Limited run games too
I started collecting physical copies of metrodvania games, Celeste is my latest but i got the regular copy 😢
Oh man! Another good one I can recommend is Ender Lillie's! Great metroudvania, super challenging
how about ps4 games??
Katamari reroll is always at Best Buy
Thank you so much for sharing!
It wasn't so much my rare mention but a game I wanted to talk about because I think it's a cool game haha
Thanks for The World Ends With You. Copped that on PC
No problem!! Happy to help!
Man I really appreciate this vid
That's really kind of you to say!
I can find multiple copies of every game you mentioned on eBay UK which isn't even that big a marketplace compared to eBay US.
I noticed that both games Spirit Hunter Death Mark and Spirit Hunter: NG physical game copies are becoming rare and are going up in price.

Great video.
Yeah… I am behind AI Somnium Files since I played Danganronpa on the Switch, but the prices are ridiculous at this point.
super mario party was a disgrace for a party game
hell mario party superstars is 10 times better !!
we need a pokken 2 !!
I would suggest little dew
And yet IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A COPY OF PARTY CENTRAL IN THE UK, GAME LIED ABOUT IN BEING IN STORE!
Daemon X Mach just sucks......
Nahhh, fits in comfortably with the rest of the genre’s offerings. The soundtrack is excellent too, which is something AC routinely drops the ball on.
My target has a ton of Wario Ware get it together a they are dirt cheap on EBay.
Retro city rampage dx is never talked about
Something to keep in mind is some of these modern games can get reprints at any time. If demand and price goes up I can see them making more copies down the road.
I am upset the blue pikmin isnt chilling in the pikmug
Mutant football league dynasty edition

@@Linkachu33 I just looked up how much pikmin costs on gamecube... it's so much cheaper buying 1+2 on the switch.
Xenoblade 2 and Torna
You know if there's games that really goes under people's radar , it has to be some of the limited run games. Especially river city girls.
I try not to mention limited run games just because by the time they are in peoples hands you only have the choice of paying eBay prices
Some are sold at Best Buy as standard editions.
river city girls 1+2 japanese release is the best way to get those games
Just because you don't see them on store shelves, doesnt necessarily mean they are rare games. I wouldn't consider any of the games you have mentioned to be rare.
They are rare when the prices went up. Copies were stopped being printed out from factories if you learned from economics.
@@therealjaystone2344 copies are still being made for these games ding bat

Guess we a "just because youre correct doesn't mean you're right moment" shirou moment here
Jokes on you the Switch will somehow keep being aold fpr the next millenia, because Nintendo.
🤦🏻 theres a sucker born every second, a company can always reprint
Yeah
