  1. Now for your casual enjoyment, I present ThePhleo's 2023 Complete Rarity Guide Collection. Nintendo Consoles [Wii Coming 2024] [Wii U Coming 2024] Nintendo Handhelds [GBA Coming Late November] [DS Coming 2024] [3DS Coming 2024] [Switch Coming 2026] Nintendo Misc. [Game & Watch Coming Late November] Each list includes its own unique rarity scale based off of the median available item of each library, an R5 for N64 isn't the same as an R5 for Game Boy, and so on. I do plan on adding a universal rarity scale once I have more libraries added. Planned libraries are going to be added in the following order. October 2023 NES Super NES Nintendo 64 Game Boy Game Boy Color Update 1 - Nintendo (November 2023) Game Boy Advance Gamecube Game & Watch Virtual Boy Pokemon Mini Update 2 - Sega (December 2023) Sega Master System Genesis (with CD & 32x) Saturn Dreamcast Game Gear Update 3 - PlayStation 1 (January 2024) PlayStation Update 4 - Atari (February 2024) Atari 2600 (With most Third Party publishers) Atari 5200 Atari 7800 Atari Jaguar (with CD) Update 5 - Other '70s and Early '80s (March 2024) ColecoVision Intellivision Odyssey Odyssey 2 Fairchild Channel F Bally Astrocade Vectrex MicroVision I do plan on normalizing the titles of the games soon, for now their Wikipedia titles are what I'm using. Data will eventually be used for another project I'm working on. I'd also like to include PS2, PSP, and Xbox into the mix, but their libraries seem too large for too small a payout. Let me know how I can improve the list, and if you see any glaring errors. Thanks! - ThePhleo
  2. Was thinking homestar runner for this one when I seen the sprite. The alternating foot/hand being blobs then detailed is fun…. Though it leaves room to wonder about the…. Fifth appendage
  3. Oh wow! This still took a ton of imagination! Maybe I won’t go as hard on you next year and I was planning In other news, I need this to be a space Pokémon or something…
  4. HAPPY 38TH BIRTHDAY TO THE NES! October 18, 1985 at approximately 9AM the people of New York City, shopping at FAO Schwarz on Fifth Avenue got their first chance to purchase the first Nintendo Entertainment System. (Sorry @T-Pac for using an AI image)
  5. Love that you made him an actual octopus and not a hexopus like in the sprite! But also, I wanted to see him in a cute Hachimaki
  6. Always. Even in familiar areas. I don't always use it to navigate, but I do use it to spot traffic and speed traps as @SNESNESCUBE64 suggested. Checking your route ahead of time is a modern miracle. It's foolish not to use it.
  7. You made Evil Otto even scarier, because this dude bounces like 30 feet high and comes at you at a very fast pace.... Holy.... I never realized, but you're right! Also, I'm getting some FNAF vibes and I love it.

  9. Thanks. I just like fiddling with data like this and try to make something out of it. In 90 days, I'm more than sure things can jump a little. I'm willing to bet there a 1.5± margin of error for anything in the list. Loose carts? Oh my! (Actually, that Action 52 black board is really nice lookin') Yeah, pretty tough game actually. Also, fun fact: it's a port of a grail tier item for Intellvision (Stadium Mud Buggies)
  10. Yep, and I couldn't figure out why until I realized I included the word "Racing" I'll adjust it after I post this.
  11. Well excuuuuse me. And of course you of all people would say the video pinball game is the okayest one. Maybe you should try a REAL gamers game console, like the RCA Studio II, Emerson Arcadia 2001, Interton VC4000...or if you're some sort of weeb you can try the Epoch Cassette Vision, or the Gakken Compact Vision TV Boy.
  12. It's Space Fortress for the Astrocade. Believe it or not, that "crown" is actually a laser turret. P.S. The death screen for this game is somehow really violent...skip to 4:42ish
  13. The fact evil otto hasn't been suggested yet tells me that we're horrible recommenders.
  14. I trust @DefaultGen who played the entire Astrocade library, there really isnt anything good from there. My heart just isn't in it if I can't make it complex.... But I'll suggest something that can flex your creative abilities! I want to see if you can do something with this psychedelic, regal looking square spaceship thingy.
  15. …..damn it how can I make this difficult. I have to keep the tradition alive! … Player 1 & 2 from Space War You can cheat and look at other screenshots. TECHNICALLY if vector screens still were popular and we made complex games with them today I could fit your sprite limit with an ultra complicated character, and still be 0x0px wide. ..... Bonus points if you make Nerves (Abadox) & Final Form God Kefka (FF6) playing the machine :V ... Bau (Abadox) not needed, but he's probably at home crying for Nerves to come back...
  16. No, it's a R6 as of the past 90 Days. It might be a R5 during some 90 day windows, or a R7 through others.... It might have been an A++ (translated to R10) around 1999 in the New Jersey shore area though, since that's what Etler's list was, just a metric of games that went through his shop at the time. ALSO: Congrats on the set @DarkKobold I remember reading about this system in EGM and wanting one so bad, so you can legitimately say there's nostalgia in the west for it.
  17. Here it is! ThePhleo's 2023 SNES "Rarity Guide" (General Supply / Demand Guide) ^ Click Link ^ Overview: Same as the NES Guide seen here, only SNES instead. Enjoy! P.S. snes sux.
  18. Hey @nick I thought about speaking to an actual Statistician about this to create an actual universal rarity scale that works for all systems, but I think that’s a step too far. If you’re collecting NES, you already know where your “average” rarity is, and that baseline is different if you collect SNES, or N64, or Beanie Babies, or Cars. Also, the numbers on the ultra high end are made up. A drought or glut of a couple copies can influence its positioning in the rarity scale by a wide margin, so I’d actually classify anything R8-R10 (and the super made up R11) to be pretty much the same rarity tier, with only the truly obvious ones like NWC, Myriad, and Stadium Events being actual bona fide R10’s. IN SUMMARY: It’s good enough to use for something that can never actually be totally accurate anyway.
  19. Glad you found the notes! R5 on NintendoAge wasn't the "middle" point and it always bothered me that R6-7 was more of the middle line. I think the way it worked back then is they started from R10 and worked their way down (or opposite, R1 and worked their way up) R5 should naturally be the middle point for "Uncommon" IMO, so that's where I started. And again, R10 and R11 are "fake" because a R8/9 drought can cause it to be marked as a R10. R11 is just for those items that are more than "holy grails" they're ultra-special fringe cases that don't quite fit in anywhere.
  20. List is outdated. I posted a new version in the link at the top. Scale only goes to "11" but even 10 is a "fake number"
  21. UPDATE: Added Unlicensed games to the mix Normalized and standardized game titles. No more roman numerals, no more missing "The's". "Fixed" the rarity scale and made it work. You might not like it, but it's unbiased, and completely formulaic. To see it in action, download the chart, Sort by price, then sort by rarity and then tell me you disagree with it.
  22. Whoops, forgot to include the unlicensed data. Gotta pick up the kids from school, but I'll post it when I finish my daily errands.
  23. I'm just shocked that so many things that I thought were true staple collector's items are just not as rare as they should be. Bucky O'Hare is a GLARING example of a game that does not deserve its high price. DuckTales 2 as well.
  24. @a3quit4s You're right. Data moved to Google Sheets. Also, I changed the description a little. The "rarity" I included in this data set is just the "R" ratings I gave everything in 2019, this is of course my own interpretation of rarity in 2019 which was based off of NintendoAge's rarity guide, which in turn was based off of Etler's rarity guide, which in turn was based only off of what he seen come into his store in New Jersey....in the '90s. We've been using WRONG DATA FOR 25 YEARS. DELETE ALL THE RARITY GUIDES PLEASE Edit: Also, if anyone tells you game collecting is expensive, they're liars and frauds. Just look at the loose cart prices of fan favorite classics like Ninja Gaiden, Mega Man, Mario, Zelda, Castlevania....they're freaking affordable. /r/GameCollecting needs to shut up.
