What makes this otherwise standard game so rare, is that just after its release, it was recalled. It required the player s to run or step rapidly in order to complete each event. Upon its release, Nintendo decided to grant the game a first party production, recalling the scant initial cartridges that had been sent out. Both became very common and were boxed-in with many NES consoles.

But Stadium Events, the original anomaly, had snuck out in ever so limited numbers. It should be noted that PAL versions were not recalled and are not worth as much even though many eBay sellers try to pass them off as rarities or jump on the hype of the rare North American version.

Loose copies seem to have increased over time, but there are still relatively frequent. In , we saw one more sealed copy surface.

She also knows that I like video games and I would be happy with this if it had no value. So it does show that Stadium Events does still have legs on the marketplace — especially if the condition is top-notch. However, all this easily makes it the most valuable un-recalled retail NES game in the collector market. With all that being said, Little Samson is a gem of a action shooter developed by Taito in to jump into the platforming trend.

As the NES era drew to a close, publishers like Taito released many of their games exclusively to game rental companies while bypassing the traditional retail market. Of course, since it was primarily a rental game, finding a complete copy in good condition is especially challenging. The combination of the rarity element and a fun pop-culture tie-in helped The Surprise at Dinosaur Peak to see a similar trajectory to Little Samson on the NES collectors charts.

In , it was an affordable gem to keep a look out for. This action platformer developed by Natsume is yet another Taito publication that has been climbing this list. Interestingly enough, this title was actually released in North America before it was released in Japan under the name Captain Saver. While this original Power Blade was adapted from a Mega Man rip-off that ended up being pretty good, Power Blade 2 was watered down from the original other than the addition of some additional power suits.

Loose cartridges have almost doubled since then if they are in good condition and mint complete copies have tripled. It has a fun style and theme to it that would feel right at home in the better third-party NES platformers. The NES port obviously had the colors downgraded due to hardware limitations, but it looks like a pretty decent presentation considering the circumstances. However, since the cartridge space was bigger of a limitation on the NES than color palette, some levels were cut from the original, and the remaining levels have some edits to them.

However, in the last 5 years, it was multiplied 5 to 6 times. Kid Klown remained in obscurity in both name and collectibility until it started ascending from tens of dollars pre to hundreds of dollars in the last few years. Even loose cartridges have seen some rapid increases. Despite it being a follow-up to an arcade classic, it languished on the store shelves, overshadowed by shiny, new Super Nintendo games.

For those that are into the series, Part 2 is mostly unchanged from the original game, but the player can float up to higher platforms and over walls by holding down the B button. One disappointment with this NES releases, however is that two-player mode only lets you take turns instead of play cooperatively.

I wish I could have experienced seeing this one in the stores during its North American release. The game was originally developed for Japanese personal computers in before being ported to the Famicom in and surprisingly localized and sold in North America in The rush for Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom did really kick in the Spring and Summer of , causing cartridges to nearly double and complete copies appreciate nearly tenfold in less than a year especially help to this gorgeous specimen with all the inserts.

This move not only moves it strongly into the top 25 NES value ranking for the first time, but it is the biggest gainer on this last in the past year. Much like the scenario of Duck Tales and Duck Tales 2, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers 2 is a solid follow up to the original and will make fans happy, but when arrived in , the NES was all but dead, and the novelty of the cartoon franchise was already in limited syndication.

Complete copies especially with manual have actually skyrocketed. It is a horizontal shmup that features a bizarre setting with a fusion of zombies and samurai. Zombie Nation could use some additional refinement, but it does show off some technical skill with the amount of activity occurring on the screen without slowdown.

Complete copies with Manual are extremely difficult to come by. It was developed and published by Atlus in and is actually a relatively challenging but beatable platformer that has a nice cartoon presentation and will feel at home with some of the of the best licensed platformers the 8-bit era had to offer. Game makers were quick to turnaround the property into a digital experience, but were right at the transition between 8-bit and bit consoles.

Irem has a special place in the hearts of shooter fans and Sqoon is one of their lesser-known gems. It was originally published by Irem in Japan on the Famicom a year before releasing their defining shooter , R-Type in the arcades and Sqoon arrived in North American on the NES soon after in late The game itself looks simple on the outside, but is actually feels like a mix between Gradius, Defender, and Choplifter.

Initially, it feels like a traditional horizontal shmup in which you pilot a submarine with horizontal torpedos and diagonal depth charges that can only be deployed once at a time. You receive extra fuel with each extra survivor you retrieve. Compared to the likes of Gradius, Sqoon looks like a simple shooter for , but it actually has a great deal of gameplay depth compared to most 8-bit shooters.

Check for Sqoon on eBay. While there was a lot of noise in the genre, the Tournament Fighters title got a lot of promotion, but this was mostly for the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis ports. The NES version was a bit of a gamble to capitalize on the large NES install base late in its lifespan and actually released a few months after the bit versions. Interestingly enough, the NES version was not released at all in Japan. It was a hit in the arcades in and received a successful Super Nintendo port in Once came around, Capcom wanted to try to bring the successful game to the still-surviving NES but obviously needed to make some graphical changes to make it work on the older hardware.

And more so than TMNT, each character in your roster has different skills and advantages. Even though the NES game came out before the arcade game, it was in and well into the era where the Super Nintendo was around and thriving. Things plateaued a bit for the next few years. It was in our honorable mentions section in our guide, but just this year rocketed into the top 20 North American retail listings — accelerating nicely while others slow down a bit.

It is a very interesting hybrid of a platformer and shooter that can either be incredibly frustrating or, with some practice, a zen-state action experience. This is one of the better examples of a valuable game that has some solid and interesting gameplay. While the original Duck Tales game was released in , sold quite well, and is a regarded as a challenging but thrilling classic in the NES library, the follow-up title was not released until , dooming it to be a slow-moving title.

For those who enjoyed the original Duck Tales game, you will mostly likely find enjoyment here. There are a few subtle changes, but some argued that the game was rather short. Duck Tales 2 has been high on this list of NES collectibles for quite some time. It will be interesting to see if the new and enjoyable, IMO Duck Tales cartoon reboot will add more collector appeal to this release.

Games based on professional sports leagues were just becoming mainstream in the early 90s — especially thriving on the new bit systems. Pro Sport Hockey is also one of those NES carts that have gradually increased value over time as more NES collectors have been building out their collections and noticing just how tricky this one is to score. While most of this lists relies heavily on the rarity of the game and collectors trying to add buzz-worthy investments to their collection, Gun-Nac is one of the most serious combinations of rarity and the caliber of the game itself.

There was a nice handful of great shmups on the NES, and some of the most well-known classics such as Gradius and were mainstream hits and have lots of inexpensive copies floating around. Gun-Nac, on the other hand, is commonly on shmup fans list of top NES shooters but also has a much more limited circulation.

Although Gun Nac frequently becomes hectic, it is still one of the most balanced shooters in the NES library. Weapon drops are frequent causing the penalty of dying to be less threatening than most shooters. Gun-Nac has seen a slow and steady climb. And like a lot of these games saw a large rise between and Remember R. The Robot? Possibly the best value on this list despite the hefty price, Metal Storm packs a great futuristic aesthetics paired with fun 2D run-n-gun platforming gameplay.

Metal Storm was published in by Irem who is notorious for their punishing shooters such as R-Type. This fantastic gem has you play as a robot that can switch gravity at a push of a button a feature that was also fun the Gameboy gem, Wendy: Every Witch Way. Metal Storm is easy to pick up and play, but it takes quite some effort to master. The advanced animation, parallax scrolling, and and mecha style would feel at home on a bit console if it had a deeper color palette.

Metal Storm has seen a steady climb over the years, but loose copies have cooled just a bit just recently after Limited Run did a special edition NES cart of Metal Storm.

While they are physically different, some collectors that may have considered picking up an original cart in possibly not ideal condition may have opted to get a Limited Run copy with packaging for a just as much money or less. There are even some boss battles that features bigger puzzles, often have lava chasing you, and sometimes rise vertically.

They serve as a challenging but rewarding experience to break up the standard levels. Overall, Fire N Ice has a colorful and whimsical style that rounds out a game that would be a great addition to any NES collection. Sword Master is a side-scrolling action platformer that relies on action, patience, and strategy.

Between the hack-n-slash action and the energetic soundtrack, it has some strong arcade vibes, but it requires more thought and concentration than most of its arcade peers. Despite its challenging and unforgiving nature, it can be really fun once you get a good feel for it. The graphics could actually pass for an early TurboGrafx 16 or a launch-era Sega Genesis game with large, detailed characters and impressive backgrounds and cutscenes.

As impressive as it was for the NES, it did pale in comparison to what the SNES offered in which prevented it from getting substantial sales.

While it goes for 10x those prices now, this is another one of those gems that could be worth adding to your collection if you are fan of the genre.

Combine that with the release date of late , and you can see why it is an in-demand rarity. In hindsight, more of us should have tracked down copies of all those titles.

The game itself is not where its value is found. While the graphics do a nice job of representing the cartoon, there is not much additional substance. Probably the biggest drop thus far in the top 20 releases over the last three years. She'd passed through pro clubs without finding her place. The Ukrainian gymnast tested positive for the banned substance meldonium in August and was banned after a ruling by the Gymnastics Ethics Foundation, which hears disciplinary cases in the sport.

Right now, that is the only saving grace for USA Basketball. And for quite probably the first time in 29 years of NBA players suiting up for the national team, there was a smattering of boos when a game ended — on home soil, no less.

The Americans routed their opponents, winning by an average of nearly 40 points a game, including a point win over Spain in the championship contest. Jahlil Okafor scored 15 points, Precious Achiuwa added 12 and Nigeria improved to in the pre-Olympic exhibition season by beating Argentina on Monday.
