Highlighting Valuable 3DS Games Before They Become Harder to Find

True, I was more just browsing around on my lunch breaks and didn't really want to wait in line to ask for look-ups.
Nice!!! Jealous of the CE.hey all! finally found a copy of persona q for decent price. i'll post this in the OT as well.
I had found the non + AC recently for $20 in TO (Game Mania).
I agree with you on the issue of hunting these games down. Me and you are pretty much competing with each other for what little is here in TO. :(
I regret not buying a second copy when my local store had another ;)
Actually funny is when a bunch of us warned people to buy a copy NOW someone was saying he didn't understand why we were panicked and we should just wait for the restock. -.-
It'll come down again. Demand is high on it ATM since it just released. The price will drop over the next year.
May drop some but then it will increase again when 3DS collecting really kicks in several years from now.
Also if Yokai Watch 4 is a success that could lead to increased demand for the older titles.
Yeah of course. I just don't want people buying at the scalper prices. It will drop back down.
Yea, agreed. I'd avoid paying over MSRP for any 3DS game at this point. There are still plenty of 3DS games that will turn up at Yard Sales, Pawn Shops, etc... plus it's less likely since the 3DS sales have dwindled, but there is still always the possibility that games get an additional print run.
dumped off a bunch of games I'd converted to digital over at the Gamestop, and found a Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology for $29.99! The decal sheet and artbook are a tiny bit dinged up because they gutted the package innards (as is tradition), but the box was in great condition and the game was sealed. Pretty happy with myself right now!
finally picked up warioware =)!
Ayy nice you have a chance to play it yet?finally picked up warioware =)!
not yet! when it came in last night, i took a quick pic before going to bed. so many recent acquisitions backlogged =)

I picked it up as well a few months back. It was great, but I sort of hope it'd be longer somehow. I felt like I've done more or less everything in about 4 hours and seen most of the microgames etc. That's kinda standard for a Warioware game, but I wanted it to be meatier considering it's a Gold edition and everything
I'm pretty sure there are some pretty big bonus features you haven't even seen.
That might very well be the case! Could you name a few of those extra features?
Split Screen was really fun for me. And you should try all the minigames, especially Pumpkin Panic and the Mewtroids. And then there's the capsule machine. You should try getting all the souvenirs, and it keeps getting more as you play minigames and do other stuff.
I honestly don't think I've ever seen a physical copy of Etrian Odyssey V in Europe before. That game probably got an incredibly low print run.
I live in Hungary and I'm shocked that PQ2 is up for preorder at one single store. I had to import the likes of Radiant Historia, EO Nexus and 7th Dragon.

They had a listing up for it on 365 a couple of months ago but it seems to have been taken down, I've found a listing for the german version on Amazon if that helps anyone: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-l...ian+odyssey+v&qid=1555678579&s=gateway&sr=8-1
I think I didn't give you an answer yet: just google 3DS guide.
Just out of curiosity, has anything been announced for a physical release that isn't out in NA/EU yet, aside from Persona Q2? Just wondering if that's likely to be the last one now. I think the boat for any other late localisations I was hoping we might see has sailed at this point. Not that I mind, I've got a shortlist of stuff I still want to pick up.
Q2 is the last of it. I recommend grabbing the CE if you wanna help the retirement fund lol.
Been keeping my eye on Sushi Striker for awhile now. I was hoping to see it go down to $10 or less. Do we think this is likely, or should I bite at $15 on Amazon before the thing starts disappearing? Is the game worth it at that price?
I assumed it would go the way of Code Name: Steam or Chibi-Robo and end up around the $5-$10 range, but I almost never see it in stores (just the Switch version). I wonder if there wasn't much stock to begin with...

Think I should snap up Radiant Historia and Tales of the Abyss while I still can? I was in Gamestop today and the have condensed their entire 3DS library onto one shelf. A few weeks ago they had at least three. I even think the have more DS games on display.
So Yo-Kai Watch 3 is considered rare? They still have 3 copies of it at our local Exchange for MSRP. Is the game any good?
It's great and physical copies were rare a week after release due to the extremely low print run. It sells online for $90+
At the current time, yes they are rare. Make sure to open one for yourself, I had fun playing it (i'd be still playing it atm if not for dragons dogma).
I wonder if the European version of Jake Hunter: Ghost of the Dusk ever went into production. Such an odd cancellation.
Persona Q is one of the most pricey games over here now physical. It's kind of crazy that Codename S.T.E.A.M is so cheap over here now compared to some other 3DS games that came out before it. I don't understand why so many 3DS games are still so pricey over here despite being so old.

You might want to check your area Wal Mart. I picked up Radiant Historia for 19.99, Fire Emblem Warriors and Fire Emblem Birthright for 9.00, Fire Emblem Echoes for 12.00 and Yokai Watch 2 for 19.99. This is a YMMV situation because I went to another Walmart after finding these, but there was no clearance sticker on these games.
I'm in Canada. My WM isn't really hit up by gamers so they have a bevy of good 3DS games I'm just waiting for them to clear, I'm hoping this is a sign more clearances to come!
Wal Mart also had some Pokémon 3DS games for like $3 at some locations if you can find them in stock. Sadly my local store has 2 in stock butbthey are still full price :(
Has Yokai Watch 3 been mentioned before? It looks like the physical release is very much considered rare to spot.
Depending on what you paid for them and how long you plan on holding on to them you should be good. Sealed copies will eventually go up compared to the average going rate currently.
Sorry for double post but one of the games that have been mentioned in here a few times is on sale at Amazon and wanted to let everyone know.
Jake Hunter 3DS is on sale for $21 at Amazon. (Thanks fo Wario64 for the alert)

Thank you for sharing, finally snagged it. Got Tempest 4000 while at it, too, which is super cheap currently, not released in Europe, and probably going to be rare later on.
Good thread. 7th Dragon is one I am missing and when I do find it, it's super pricey (like $80+ Canadian).
Are you looking for sealed, or Complete?
If you are looking for complete keep an eye on GameFly. It's popped up on there a few times and currently shows the "Keep it" option for $34.99. Will include all the first print items as well.
You also may want to try to click to reopen your GameFly account if you've ever had one. I was able to get 1 month for a $1 and get a game that was only available to keep.
Looks like it dropped a tiny bit more and is now under $21. Normally when they do these small incremental drops periodically it will continue dropping until they get to a price where it starts to sale. It will then level off for a bit and eventually go back up, unless they run out. They may do that a couple times though so hopefully you are able to grab one.
Does anyone know of any store exclusive variants? Specifically big box variants? I know of a few but it would be cool if there was a list somewhere, or if anyone on here knows of any they mention it so I can check it out.
