24 Panasonic Q

Worth: $500

The Panasonic Q, sometimes referred to as a Game Q, was released only in Japan in 2001, but it never really became popular. It sold less than 100 thousand units worldwide and was pulled from the market in 2003.

The Panasonic Q was manufactured by Nintendo and Panasonic and was a combination of a Game Cube and a DVD player. Because of its sleek look and good features, like an optical sound output, it became a sought-after item by collectors, which places it at around $500.

23 Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D Premium Package 3DS

Worth: $500

The Snake Eater 3DS was released as part of the promotion for Metal Gear Solid 3's release on the 3DS. Every Metal Gear Solid game has been given what's called a premium package in Japan, with each one containing a few limited-edition items. For the Snake Eater release, they came out with a limited edition 3DS.

This 3DS is finished and textured with a snakeskin pattern, no doubt in honor of Solid Snake. They were released in 2012 exclusively to Japan, so they’ve become pretty rare, as most have to ship from Japan.

22 Fallout 3: Amazon.com Exclusive Survival Edition

Worth: $700

Special editions are either a waste of money or good fun, which is ultimately up to you, but price and worth do come into play. The box contained a life-sized Pipboy replica, a Vault Boy bobblehead, an art book, a making-of DVD, and a Vault-Tec lunchbox.

It was released exclusively through Amazon and sold for $130 in 2008, at the same time Fallout 3 was released. The Fallout 3: Amazon.com Exclusive Survival Edition was worth it for those who could order one upon its limited release.

21 Ocarina Of Time Game Boy Camera

Worth $850

The Game Boy Camera in and of itself is a weird little thing. A throwback to the times before everyone carried a camera around in their pockets. This version though, well, it’s worth a fair bit of cash.

Only 2,000 of the Ocarina of Time Game Boy Cameras were made. As always, most of these have since been lost to the garbage bins and basements of history, and one of their biggest distinctions is the gaudy gold paint job they have. As such, one in good condition can easily sell for almost a thousand dollars.

20 Pokemon World Championship DS Systems

Worth: $1,000

Only 112 of the Pokemon World Championship DS Systems were made and distributed each year to the winners of the Pokemon World Championships. Coming in a variety of colors, the systems are emblazoned with Pokemon decals and proudly state their origin from the World Championships.

Every once in a while, you see one go up for sale, and they usually go for around a grand. If you've got a Pokemon fan in your life, gifting them one of these would make their dreams come true.

19 Rockman 20th Anniversary Metal Statue

Worth: $1,000

The Rockman 20th Anniversary Metal Statues came were released in 2007. There were two types of these statues released, a bronze coated one and a silver coated one. From a bit of research, it appears as if only 200 of the copper statues were made and only 100 of the silver statues were made.

The limited amount of these statues makes them pretty rare and expensive, even more so for those die-hard Megaman fans. There was also a set of statues released for the 25th anniversary, but those aren’t as sought after and expensive.

18 Net Yaroze

Worth: $1,750

No one seems to talk about Net Yaroze anymore, and that’s a shame. It was something of a prelude to the great Indie game scene we have today. Special versions of the PS1 were distributed along with development tools, which would allow one-man crews to develop their own weird, sometimes bad, sometimes incredible video games.

These would then be distributed on demo discs and the like. The consoles weren’t region-locked either, meaning they could play any game from anywhere. The Net Yaroze was released in 1996 and specifically targeted toward computer programmers.

17 Sega Dreamcast Seaman Christmas Edition

Worth: $3,300

Do you remember Seaman? Perhaps you’re lucky if you don’t, but here’s a friendly reminder that it was essentially a Tamagotchi or a virtual pet you could care for on your Sega Dreamcast. Leonard Nimoy also happens to voice the care instructions for your Seaman Pet.

10 Weirdest Triple-A Games

From the Kingdom Hearts series to Death Stranding, these are some of the most unique, creative and bizarre triple-a games around.

For only ten days, a Christmas edition of a Sega Dreamcast was released that featured the logo of the Seaman game. Only 850 of these were made, so they’re quite an interesting gem to find and they’ve become rather expensive.

16 Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Fortune Hunter Edition

Worth: $3,000-10,000

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves did extremely well upon its release in 2009, and then eventually a special edition set was released, but it was not available in stores and could only be won in competitions or giveaways, which was the Fortune Hunter Edition.

The Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Fortune Hunter Edition came with a copy of the game, a collector’s case autographed by the Naughty Dog developers, a strategy guide, the official soundtrack, an art book, and an exact replica of the Phurba Dagger. Only 200 of these special edition boxes were ever made.

15 Aztarac

Worth: $5,000

Aztarac is something of a holy grail in the world of arcade gaming, though at the time of it’s release it wasn’t very successful. Created by the short-lived studio, Centuri, and released in 1983. It plays a game that is a mix of Asteroids and Space Duel.

The cabinet is beautiful and all, but it’s not the game or the cabinet’s looks that make it rare. It is thought that fewer than 500 were made, making each cabinet very rare indeed. Finding one of these is the dream of arcade fanatics everywhere.
