Too Human and X-Men: Destiny. Those two may be rare in the not too distant future.

Kirby's Dream Collection will eventually be rare, most certainly.

At the moment, though, it can be acquired for slightly below MSRP on Amazon. Might want to take your opportunities now, everyone.

Also, Pikmin 2 Gamecube has been downgraded from rare to uncommon. :p

I have a feeling the Soul's games might be a bit tricky to get in a few generations. Maybe Asura's Wrath also. Someone mentioned Catherine, and to be honest I reckon their right! As some people have said, Muramasa, Xenoblade, and The Last Story, might be hard to get a hold of, along with Pandora's Tower.

Someone mentioned Zelda. I reckon unless its a collectors edition, the games will be common enough, but will demand $50.00 and up. Collectors Editions will become gold dust, probably not the rarest, but definitely very hard to get.

Call me stupid, but I reckon the Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection might be hard to come by as well. I had a hard time finding that game. I now have a sealed copy on my shelf, and sealed it shall stay!

I'm actually honestly surprised that I can still walk into my Best Buy and find a couple on the shelf...along side with a couple of Last Story CE.  When it came to Mario's 25th anni edition, the first print run I couldn't find anywhere...when they announced a second print run I got it first day and since then I have never seen it again in stores.  I'm guessing that it's so late in the Wii's life and the whole Wii U having been right around the corner lead those 2 games to not really get the attention they deserved.

Wii-U's backwards compatibility will ensure that Wii games will enjoy an enhanced lifespan not unlike that of Gamecube games during the Wii's lifespan.

Luigi's Mansion doesn't feel like it's 11 years old, that's for sure.

I'd have to say any of the premium edition Ys games for the PSP. I dont own a PSP but have been really close to buying one just to play those games, man do they look gorgeous.

Also, the strategy guides for a lot of games are starting to get up there in price. If you look on ebay you wont find any of the first Uncharted guides for under $40, same thing with Batman Arkham Asylum and some others. Really nice copies are priced at around $70!!!!! It took me forever to find a Dragon Quest V guide for a descent price around 2 years ago, looks like theyre still floating around the $50-60 range when they show up.

It did sell out really fast!

I was always going to be in a slight disadvantage, as my nearest game store is 35 mins away, and the closest well stocked shop is an hour away, but luckily enough I have a friend working in GameStop, and they knew I was looking for it, and when they finally got a copy in they gave me a call, and to my surprise it was still sealed.

I payed €35.00 for it, but after 3 months of being told "Sorry! We're out of stock", I was quite happy to bit the 35 Euro bullet.
