The Top 10 Most Expensive Nintendo Gamecube Games
The Gamecube was an interesting system. It sort of ran parallel to the PS2 and XBox and sat between the two in terms of power, but it was always regarded as a “kiddy” system thanks to its tiny discs, bright colors and carrying handle on the back.
Regardless, it has an amazing game library and has been a very popular system for people to collect for. Prices for games seem to have peaked in early 2016, so if you're looking to buy it looks like prices will continue to come down. Here’s a list of the top 10 most expensive games on the Nintendo Gamecube.
As always, this list excludes bundles and promo titles. Prices are for complete games, which includes the case and manual.
#10 Mega Man X Collection
$46.48
#9 Digimon Rumble Arena 2
$53.50
#8 Ikaruga
$53.64
#7 Skies of Arcadia Legends
$55.00
#6 Go! Go! Hypergrind
$67.49
#5 Fire Emblem Path of Radiance
$87.30
#4 Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II Plus
$102.22
#3 NCAA 2k3
$162.50
#2 Cubivore
$165.25
#1 Gotcha Force
$192.75
Some big surprises in there. Popular franchises like Mega Man, Fire Emblem and Digimon aren't typically rare. And NCAA 2k3 is a shock, as sports games are typically considered to be games to be cannibalized for their cases by collectors, however this game received an extremely limited release making it quite rare. Definitely one to look out for, as almost everyone will look right past it.

Man Fire Emblem? It's one of my favorite game series of all time but I never knew it would be so costly to buy now
Fire Emblem games tend to get small releases and end up being highly sought after by collectors. The FE game on the Wii is also one of the most expensive on that system too.
Good thing I have those in my collection :) but Ive never sold any game, kept everything and will keep it
Pretty sure Super Smash Bros. Melee is the most expensive game still, was $250 on amazon for quite a while. No mention of the game at all is pretty surprising.

It may be getting listed for that price at Amazon by some sellers, but its not actually selling for that. Pricecharting logs and averages sales of the game, with 3 sales per day for Melee, and it currently averages $42.92.
Any retro store I've gone to often sells the game minimum like $75-125. On Ebay you can't really get it lower than $45 https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=super+smash+bros+melee&rt=nc&LH_BIN=1
where do you get these cool lists?
I compile everything from pricecharting.com and just shake out the promos/bundles/etc. to come up with my top 10s. More coming too! I'll eventually hit every major console.
