Are these the box sets? The Eternal Arcadia LE is a very nice little...err big package. Haoh, what comes with the Hundred Swords set?

A few others that come to mind:

Blue Submarine No. 6 JP (thanks Click Stick for helping me find a copy)

Space Channel 5 2 D-Direct LE JP (NCS wishes it never existed

)

Power Stone 2 used to go for a nice chuck of change.

I just was looking thru my DC games and found a very rare title. Midways Aracde Classics with Paperboy and 720 being the highlights. I swore they were gone in a week and the staff at EB didn't know what they were, rare maybe? As for being worth something I dunno? Keep an eye out for that one too.

I've got that Midway Arcade Collection thing, and while it's been rare since it's release, it's never really been worth much money due to it being a port of a PSX collection, plus, the Midway Arcade Treasures packs kind of negate it. Jetman, Cannon Spike does have some unlockables, like characters and art galleries, and the core game is pretty fun just as long as you keep play sessions short. It's pretty much the definitive $20 game.

We all have our vices.

For example: I really, really, enjoyed "Incoming".

Seriously, if there's a decent list of Japanese DC games that you want, the cheaper way to do things would be to just get yourself a plane ticket to Japan and look there. *heh* I picked up my Card Captor Sakura and Sakura Taisen Online Puzzle whatnot LE boxes for $5 each, and I know there were others for that price, such as the Eternal Arcadia ones. DC Twin Sticks were $2.50, but sadly I had to dump the set I picked up because I just had no room left in my luggage. Another good example was the Suzuki Yu book + disc, which could be hard to find, but when I did, it was always $10. Barring brand new games, most games could be picked up for $20 for in-demand games, or far less for non-demand games. (Such as the copy of Virtua Striker 2, I think it was, that I picked up for $.08) There were of course a few exceptions, like Ikaruga, which I think I paid $39 for used.

Of course, by the nature of the game, this is how it works for us outside Japan - Japanese games that are rare or expensive for us typically aren't once you're actually inside the country. So if you've got a long list, do yourself a favor and just fly over there with a nice big (and empty) suitcase. Of course, you can also enjoy a bit of seeing Japan while you're there as well, and maybe stash away yourself a Japanese schoolgirl in your suitcase along with the games. *heh*

Oh, and while Rainbow Cotton is a bit ass, I still got some enjoyment it. It would have been a billion times better had it controlled like Space Harrier, however.
