Which obscure Xbox release do you feel will become rare/valuable in the future?

    I've been noticing several titles in game stores for the Xbox lately. These are those types of games that come out at a low price (usually $19.99) in absurdly low quantities which no one seems to buy, only for interest to suddenly peak several years later. Remember Guardian Heroes and Radiant Silvergun for the Saturn...back when you could actually find them at EbGames in late 1999, yet no one bought? How about some of those Sega CD titles like Third World War?

    Which of the following readily available obscure Xbox games do you think will attain a similar status?

    *Dai Senrayaku http://www.dealtime.com/xPC-Dai_Senryaku_VII_Modern_Military_Tactics
    *Phantom Dust http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/255669.asp
    *Headhunter Redemption http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product_id=210527
    *Spikeout Battle Street http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product_id=950733
    *Metal Slug 3 http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product_id=950516

    I'm thinking Dai Senrayaku is a good bet at this point. Your thoughts?

    No. $30 is the cheapest I've seen.

    I'm from CAG. $30 isn't cheap. And it's basically $40 or up new everywhere.

    I picked up a copy of Dai Senryakyu this evening, and from my brief play through of some of the tutorial and first mission, I like it a lot! Sort of reminds me of the PCEngine/TG16 classic, Military Madness on steroids...even the attack results are the same! Only $19.99 too!

    it sucks but since it only comes out in Japan and given xbox status in Japan I'd say any JPN exclusive titles will become rare one day... he he

    How about Shin Megami Tensei 9 the Deluxe Box. You can get it pretty cheap now, but who knows it may become valuable.

    Then there is Magatama.
