North American Release Date: November 1992 So I decided to give each of them a whirl in the old top-loader and see what all the fuss is about. These are games not the Dead Sea Scrolls, they’re meant to be played, not handled with gloves and shelved away from natural sunlight. Seriously, what the fuck is the point of that? After that, straight onto the shelf with the other artifacts. After a lot of Ebay diligence, I’ve finally acquired them all and the first thing I did was put them in hard plastic cases to protect my stupid, stupid, obsessions. That’s wild!Īnyway, when I started getting heavy into collecting NES games, the list below were all titles I never thought I’d own. According to Nintendo Age, in 2007 you could grab a copy of Zombie Nation for $10 whereas in 2017 that same game goes for over $300. Why are they so expensive? Because in recent years collecting these games has become increasingly popular as the kids that grew up on them are now in their nostalgic 30’s with disposable income to burn. Why are the games in this Top 10 list so rare and expensive? Most of them are rare because they were released after 1991, the year the Super Nintendo was released, and so a lot of these games went completely unnoticed at the time. As I got deeper and deeper into collecting the NES library, the rare games made themselves known: Nintendo World Championships, Bubble Bath Babes, Myriad 6 in 1 y’know the kinds of games CNN is doing reports on these days (and if you don’t know by now, those cartridges go for shit tons of money.) Well those are certainly very rare but this site is only dedicated to official games released in North America, so not only have I not collected the aforementioned titles but at this point I have zero interest in doing so. It’s the same with any collectible I suppose, no one knows it’s valuable until years later when nostalgia becomes coupled with demand.
