With the 3DS coming in only two months or so, and the DS winding down, soon the real most rare & expensive DS games will become apparent, the ones who hold their value for years at a time.

Clubhouse games should be removed; it has lost a great deal of it's value. It is now easy to find it for under $20 new. Just one of those fads I suppose.

Clubhouse Games is being/was reprinted with the "Touch Generations" logo.
The Gold Zelda DS is worth much more than the Nintendogs one. I had it, complete and mint, then my dad threw out a bunch of game boxes (ughh...) I had, including that one. To cut to the point: I just had the actual DS lite, stylus, and slot-2 pak left so I traded it... plus I hated worrying every second that I was gonna scratch it...

- Hotel Dusk Room 215
- Hero's of Mana
- Mario & Luigi Partners in Time

I have learned to try and pick up games that are made by 3rd Parties first as those seem to disappear faster than 1st Party titles although with Mario & Luigi Partners in Time, I'm not really sure why they stopped printing that title.

2008-07-24T23:14:00.000-06:00

I finally bought a ds(two actually) when nintendogs bundle and zelda were released. I also bought Tetris DS (from hong kong)off ebay for 20 bucks not long after. When it arrived it looked like an official game except the coloring of the info looked slightly faded. I had also purchased another game from the same seller and on that games info it had '?'s where it should not have and that was the give away that it was for not an official game. I contacted someone else who bought the game and they said they played it and it was the full game. Anyway, I wanted the real thing and bought another copy. I traded in both games to the gamestore(since I couldn't return to ebay) and they both rang up super mario but they just thought it was a glitch and took them. So if you are ok with bootlegs spend 20 bucks or pick up my used copy at the game store maybe.

Nintendo isn't publishing Tetris DS anymore because they lost the license to the Tetris name. I believe Hudson has it now.

The Zelda DS w/ Phanton Hourglass is way more expensive and rare than the pink Nintendogs DS.

2008-07-24T03:11:00.000-06:00

I worked in ASDA in the UK on Music and Video for two years, and the Monopoly game, the Tetris game and the club house games were all on sale for verryyy cheap. Eventually we reduced the prices to as low as £5 as no one wanted them! It feels strange to me to see them as "rare collectibles" as our shelves we jam packed with them a year or two ago.

2008-07-24T02:03:00.000-06:00

Well it seems to me that the demand is still there, but the publishers are providing the supply. Obviously, there has to be some other factor involving the non-production of say Tetris DS if the demand is certainly there.

2008-07-23T20:55:00.000-06:00

...Except it would cause the price of games to skyrocket because a publisher would have to always have a title on hand in case the demand were above zero.

They don't stop making games because they like to be assholes, they do it because the demand isn't high enough to merit pumping millions of dollars into another run. If the demand were there, you'd have your game.

It sucks to place a higher value on a good than Joe Schmoe, but it's economics; sometimes you're on the right end of the demand curve, sometimes you're not.

2008-07-23T20:11:00.000-06:00

LOL. This is why people pirate. Publishers screw customers over by releasing limited amounts of games and then stop publishing and refuse to publish more. What other recourse is there?
There should be a law that if you offer to buy at fair price, a game from a publisher and they refuse to sell it to you, that you are allowed to pirate it. Makes perfect sense.

2008-07-23T19:44:00.000-06:00

Clubhouse Games is one of the best casual titles for DS, in my opinion. It's tragic that it's not being printed currently. Some things could've been done better, but all in all for catching the attention of regular folks, showing off CG has worked wonders.

You forgot to add the Nintendo DS Gold - Zelda Phantom Hourglass edition! I lost mine and to replace it I had to pay $220 when the original was under $189.

2008-07-23T12:13:00.000-06:00

I LOVE my Boggle DS and would probably not sell it for any sane amount of money. The DS version Monopoly is mediocre at best, and I'd prefer the Game Boy Color version (a port of the NES version) any day.

Also, I have to point out that the Tetris DS prices are dampered by a ton of Asian bootlegs on eBay. Last I checked, the other games on this list have not been bootlegged.
