Games you want, but just can't find.

Have you ever really wanted a game but not be able to find it. Maybe it's old, low-circulation or just sold-out everywhere, what are the games you want but can't find?

I've really wanted Pikmin 2 for the Gamecube, but there are usualy hardly any copies of it on Ebay and when there are, they usually sell for a high price. I may have to get it when it come out on the Wii instead. I think I may do the same for Chibi Robo, as I also missed out on that and I am unable to find a copy for the Gamecube.

I really wish I had a copy of Breath of Fire IV for the Playstation, but I don't feel like paying Ebay prices for it. Also, I wish I could find my copies of Marvel vs. Capcom 1/2...

Burnout Paradise.

I don't know, what with the internet and all you can find most any game you want.

I guess at least when it comes to a price point I'd like to get Persona 1/2 but they are kinda beyond what I'm willing to play. Come on Sony, I wanna play 'em on my PSP.

Until very recently, the Space Quest series. Could not find it ANYWHERE. I have very fond memories of playing them as a kid and I just got this urge to play them again. I look on Amazon,eBay - in the end I borrowed it off a friend who had them up in her attic just wasting away. It was a hell of a search.

The first Fatal Frame for XBOX and Tales of Symphonia for GC. They're pretty much impossible to find around here...

I've been looking for a new Parasite Eve 1 and 2, ugh I was so stupid for selling those away.

I was surprised to see someone else say Burnout Paradise for the 360 in this thread, because that's exactly what I'm (or was) looking for. I'm just gonna wait for the Ultimate Box now.

It's the Shin Megami Tensei series for me. I'm slowly obtaining most of them, but it's really tough to get the older ones.

I live in Portugal which is in Europe, which is a PAL region.

The list is too big too fit here.

I collect old and rare games and constantly add to my wanted list, but off the top of my head;

Bangai O Dreamcast: Not the Prize Edition :) (That's worth a thousand dollars at the very least)
Chibi Robo GC
Daytona CCE Netlink Edition Saturn
Virtual On Netlink Edition Saturn
Panzer Dragoon Saga Saturn
Hyperduel Saturn

I was lucky to find this rarity last week in Guardian Heroes, which is a Treasure beat em up (!) with RPG elements (!).

Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence. I bought it when it came out, but one day I was playing it when my dog ran through the room and caught up the cords to my PS2, bringing the thing to the ground, disc in drive. There was a huge scratch on the disc, and I couldn't get past "The End" (the boss character, mind you). I have wanted to play it since, but there are no copies left at EB, let alone Best Buy, and I don't want to pay the prices on eBay.

That one PC game that was an exact copy of Oblivion

"That one PC game that was an exact copy of Oblivion"

No no, they talked about it on the Bombcast awhile back. It was yanked off the shelves because it stole whole areas straight out of oblivion.

Found it: Limbo of the Lost:

Well they yanked the game off the shelves, and when they pop up on Ebay they are expensive, check out all the charges on its Wikipedia sometime, lol

Unchartered Waters for SNES.  It's all over ebay though I just don't want to spend the money on it. 

I've been searching for Zone Of The Enders 2 (I never played the first one though) for a while now. It's almost as if it doesn't exist.

"I was surprised to see someone else say Burnout Paradise for the 360 in this thread, because that's exactly what I'm (or was) looking for. I'm just gonna wait for the Ultimate Box now."

It took me a while to ger my hands on a copy of Mana Khemia and Pikmin 2, but I was finally able to a couple of months ago (though I had to buy Pikmin 2 used).

Madden 06 for the 360.....sick easy gamerscore

The Korg thing. I bet it's online-only like Electroplankton. Never really checked though.

I don't know if "can't find" are the right words so much as "can't find for a reasonable price." A few I can think of at the moment are Xenogears, Shin Megami Tensei titles (like Digital Devil Saga 2), and Marvel VS Capcom 2.

Do you know the starting price of that?"

Star Ocean: The Second Story, PS1 - PAL version.

Oh, and I forgot No More Heroes.  I didn't buy that game for some reason last year, and now I can't find it anywhere. Anyone know a place to get it?

The only one I can think of is ICO which, I sadly don't see myself getting any time soon.

"Radiant Silvergun, Guardian Heroes, Panzer Dragoon Saga for the Saturn (import only) you could buy a house for the price of those 3..."

"The only one I can think of is ICO which, I sadly don't see myself getting any time soon."

"Yeah Ico for me also."

Zone of the Enders 1 & 2 for me.

I haven't looked for most of the titles you listed, but I've found Amazon's a pretty good place to find hard-to-find/old games.

"Seen quite a few copies available on eBay, if you're into online shopping."

Twisted Metal 2.

It was probably the first ever game I played on PS1 and I cant find it anywhere. In the same vain I cant find TM: Black either; Not too sure if 'head on' will be good, maybe I should try renting that for PS2 since I know where I can rent it.

Fire Emblem

The first fire emblem that we got in NA on the GBA, I've looked and looked and its nowhere to be found...

I appreciate it, but I'm not into online shopping :("

Orginally it was finding a copy of Persona 3 but I amanged to find one this summer. Anything Atlus thats dated and Godhand for the ps2

Pikmin 2 is one I can't find anywhere. It's especially annoying since I've heard some say its better than the first which is pretty huge since I loved the first one to death. No way I'm paying the prices Ebay sellers are putting up for it though. Maybe the prices will go down when the Wii version comes out seeing as I don't have a Wii.

"The Korg thing. I bet it's online-only like Electroplankton. Never really checked though."

I'm trying to find the Persona series and The World Ends With You. 

There has been a few... Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes for instance. If you're trying to find it anywhere new, expect to pay a lot more than $50... which I refuse to do. I wouldn't mind owning Pikmin 2, though I actually don't think I knew it had become a rare game to find. I tried getting Ico maybe 3 years back, and had no luck. Also, I've struggled to find Zack and Wiki. It didn't sell too hot, so they dropped the retail price to $20 after a few months. I tried to buy it late last year and the price had gone up too high for me to even consider getting it.

I always wanted Shadow of Rome and it took me months to find a copy.

Locally I've been trying to find a copy of Zack & Wiki. No dice, time for the Internet I guess.
