Will these be rare?

Hotman

Hi,

As we know, for a while there after the DSi came out, nintendo licenced 5 games to be exclusive to the DSi (playable on DS and DSi only) which went down the toilet as a bad idea straight away so they were discontinued. But non-the less, they did actually print 3 of em. Foto Showdown and 2 others.

I bought 2 of them the other day as im thinking there's gonna be a time when these 3 titles are gonna be very rare due to them being discontinued and being very hard to find? or will it not work like that?

Thanks!

Nintendo games tend to keep their value for rarities. But who knows.

any ideas? i think they only made a few copies, but they stopped in 2010. Will anyone ever been needing these to complete a set?

Yes, the dsi exclusive cart games will be worth a bomb later on, there's so few of them they have to be.

Don't know though.
There were quite a few short run oddities out there that had quirks, like the Taito paddle controller and compatible games, but they've never gone super expensive.
Too hard to know what will eventually become extremely collectible although being a great game to start with is oftena prerequisite.

Just to mention too that DSi specific carts are region locked so if you've just bought US or Jap DSi only games I hope you've a US or Jap DSi to play them on or all you'll be doing is looking at the boxes.
