Future Raritys and collectors items.

[UltraMagnus]

I have been thinking about this a lot lately as I was thinking about selling some 360 games to finance some older purchases. I have 250+ 360 games and was wondering just which ones will be rare or sought after in years to come.

Considering the long shelf life and massive sales of current gen consoles I suspect it will be a lot easier to collect for in the future, so the rare stuff will more than likely be the commercial failures or games with a low print run.

So with that in mind, what games are worth picking up now. not just this gen but for PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube ( especially the gamecube as It never sold that well and Ithink a lot of games will be rare for that machine IMO )

i know Teen Titans and TMNT can be hard to find for the Gamecube, also the Megaman games can be hard to find

PS2 future rarities I know off the top of my head-

Ocean Commander (tough enough finding as it is now, never mind in the future)
Homura, Sol Divide, Dragon Blaze, Samurai Aces, and any other of the budget release shmups.
Graffiti Kingdom
Rule of Rose

Hmmm, I haven't looked at PS2 stuff for a while. Purely off the top of my head...

That Katamari game, can't remember exactly what it's called..
Space Channel 5 pt2
Shadowhearts, definitely the first one and maybe covenant and new world as well in future
The .hack series (1-4) are a decent bet
Raiden 3 (as well as a host of other 505 games - Magnacarta, Michigan, Wild Arms 5, Fire Pro Wrestling etc.)
Shrek Party
Crime Life Gang Wars
Wizardry
Zone of the Enders 2nd Runner
Glass Rose
Kuon
The Shaman King
One Piece Grand Adventure
Rez
Some of the old SNK classics as well. Still looking for a Sengoku Collection myself...
Grim Grimoire
La Pucelle Tactics, in fact, all of the Koei strategy including PTO, Phantom Brave, Disgaea etc.
The Atlelier Iris series
Devil Summoner
Dark Chronicle and Dark Cloud
Mana Khemia ltd edition
Ar Tonelico
Arc
Persona 3 and 4
Silent Hill Collection
Silent Hill Shattered Memories - maybe Origins as well.
Metal Gear Solids Substance abd Subsistence
Haunting Ground could be pricey
Gradius 3&4 and Gradius 5
ICO and Shadow of Colossus (ltd edition with postcards of course!)
Frequency (and the second one featuring David Bowie, can't remember what it's called - yellow cover)
Rogue Galaxy
God Hand
Unsure of whether the Square Enix titles will go up, but I'd take a punt on Odin Sphere, possibly Valkyrie Profile Silmeria as well.

I may be wrong on the above. Last time I looked, some had started fetching fairly decent premiums. Also, some are predictions, I may be wrong.

Glad I own most of these by now

You're both ignoring Essential Games' output. All of their stuff will be very hard to track down one day, games like Darwin, Beta Bloc, Covert Command, Special Forces or Zombie Hunters 2. Some of Phoenix Games stuff aswell but I mostly can't reveal that yet
