Rarest Nintendo 64 Games Of All Time | Most Expensive N64 Games: N64 NFR Not For Resale 

DaManWitDaPlan thanks Mr Man with the Plan! It did take a over 2 years just because they're so hard to find but of course games like Gray Majora's mask and Yoshi's international version were tough purchases. Yoshi's has tripled in value since I got mine though!

+MarMax Gaming the ones without the "not for resale" on the front and only a "not for resale" sticker on the back could be fake. if I were you I would open them and compare them with the inside of a regular retail one, there will be a difference.

You could actually EASILY fake any of these carts if you did a good enough job doing it.

Kro DaJuggalo yes, I definitely opened them to make sure. When trying to snag games, I do like little flaws at this point because it lets you know it's the original label. You can tell when a glossy label is 20 years old. If it looks like it's brand new, probably too good to be true. It's just the way the market is now. I wish I got into collecting like 10 years ago before all of the crap which makes collecting so hard.

Nintendrew I know you're a huge fan of N64.. I think you'd really enjoy the video I just put up last night!

Haha don’t do it!

Igor Kolosha something to keep in mind is this is what they were worth once I completed the set. I was focused on just finishing the set and 26 games seemed doable! I love the used game market because money isn't lost, you can sell it back whenever.

IISourAyyII thank you. And yes, I agree that scalpers are terrible for the hobby. The "not for resale" is for the stores; nothing wrong with reselling them.. in a fair way.

IN PROGRESS PROJECTS thanks for watching, man! Something to keep in mind - these aren’t typical copies, so you or anybody else wouldn’t just casually have one of these copies.. that’s really unlikely. These basically need to be hunted for specifically, since they are obscure and from those kiosks.

iKrager it's more so explained in the first couple minutes of the video. They're demos for kiosks and that's what makes them rare. As far as what separates them from being Ultra Rare and Common it's usually just that there were more completed game NFRs than unfinished For Demo use. I appreciate your feedback!

I knew it would be outdated at some point! I appreciate you watching, hard to believe over 5 years have gone by!

@@MarMaxGaming i do appreciate the insight i own mario party 2 NFR aswell so this was a great starting point

Kosmic!!!! :D

Thank you, Matt! Hope you’ve been well

If you are lucky you can find sellers who have no idea what they have and sell these as if they are retail copies

So not worth it 😂 beating all these games on switch in like half a day

Rhen Neubauer Nice find 👍🏻The person I got Goldeneye from found theirs in a pawn shop for under $10 as well!

Cool, also can you make a video showing the gameplay of the demo carts?

Rhen Neubauer I wish I was the one to find it because they definitely jacked it up before selling to me. I will make that at some point for sure. If you'd like to see my review style feel free to see a few on my channel. If you like it, you could sub so you don't miss those demo reviews. This is a pretty new channel and I look forward to expanding it for sure! Lots of ideas.. just hard with a 60 hr managerial job!

Thank you, Roy!

Hey thanks a lot! It’s funny how it was my first video on the channel and how it blew up to 120k+ views… people like to hear about rare stuff, I suppose! My other videos are more.comprehensive videos about playing through games with full attention on the gameplay along with the audio video! Appreciate your support

Thank you, Nolan! Those are 3 great pieces right there, I’d be really pleased with that :) I actually don’t have six of these carts anymore, since I sold them before we moved last year. But I DID make sure to do individual videos / reviews on each of the demo carts, including gray Majora’s Mask… along with the gray DK, Turok 2, Pokemon Snap Blockbuster, Yoshi’s Story… hope to see you there! Nice Mii pic 😎

ArtCreativz Misread as “a few porno discs”

davidevgen very nice!

thank you! btw do you have the n64 test cart?

davidevgen I've seen those for NES but not for the N64...

there pretty rare and only show on ebay every few years commanding extreme prices. there is two version of it. rev A and rev B. rev B is more rare than rev A and only has some extra sound tests. if you can get one its pretty much one of the holy grails for n64 collecting :P

Mine was $70...

that was the first thing I thought. probably one of the craziest games ever made

Guacamole1000 I absolutely loved that game as a kid. I've been meaning to get a copy for a while now.

@@Guacamole1000 haha it really was crazy!

SolidSnake684 thank you for watching and the cases are actually really flexible and stay put in general.

Anaemic Adema that’s super epic! Great find, man 🤙 I’m glad I could help. Next time you’re in Raleigh, let me know about that beer.🍺

Congrats on the excite bike scoop! This vid is 6 years old at this point. Would it really be that much higher than a full set? I know there are some expensive games and a lot more of them…

@@MarMaxGaming Yes. Of the 296 games, less than 15 games cost more than $100, and less than 5 cost over $200. The whole collection can be had for around $12000 or less if you get some good deals and shop around. On the flip side, the 26 Not For Resale games today cost around $17800 for all of them, and since they are rare carts, they are harder to come by you will most likely have to pay much more for them and and their value increases by a larger margin with each sale.

New Age Retro Sans very cool! what place still has it? Or do you have a friend with it?

It's a really cool store called Game Trade. Last time I was there about two months ago they still had it. They also used to have a Play Choice-10.

New Age Retro Sans that's really bad ass! I hope to have a real kiosk one day.

Nice, that one’s a different situation.. they came like that if bundled with the Sega Genesis.

not to my knowledge! Sorry, notifications were spotty for a while and I didn't see this until now. I appreciate you commenting and watching!

@@MarMaxGaming oh hey! No problem my man it happens, mines does the same thing too sometimes lol. Now that your here, by anychance could you please dump the Rareware "Not for Resale" versions of the games? Would love to dissect and see the inside of the roms to see if any leftover beta stuff is in there at the least.

@@MrDmoney156 oh interesting! So I really don’t have any idea on how to do anything like that but I’m pretty darn sure those have been dumped already. All of the demos / NFRs have been dumped for years

@@MarMaxGaming yeah actually, now you mention it most of the demos on there has been dump already except for Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark (i think) And also, it's actually pretty easy to dump N64 cartridges nowadays with the likes of the Retrode 2 device that lets you do so via USB connection and most just drag n drop it's rom (including battery backup save file if it have one) to your PC/Laptop. Here's the link: stoneagegamer.com/retrode-2-cart-reader-rom-dumper-for-super-nintendo-genesis-more.html

With your collection were they resales with the prices or just regular copys

Brendan LaPierre they were all listed as "Not For Resale".

MarMax Gaming i want the yoshi story one i know i cant have it if i did have $1500 will you sell it to me im not saying you have to

MarMax Gaming mostly because yoshis story is my favret game for n64 *sorry for spelling*

Can you do a video on NFR Wii games

Bomberman Hero! Great times

LA Shrooma yeah man, so sweet!

vedved82491 and criminally underrated. I follow the composer on SoundCloud.

could you tell me the name of the song?

Enrique Acosta the composer is Jun Chiki Chikuma, I follow her work since 2012, just search Bomberan Hero 64 soundtrack :)

The Japanese Version Is Also Grey.

eddiebaba nice! Congrats!

The G33k shit man! That's totally what happened to the majority of these. Thrown away after use and only some thought to hold onto them!

chadwick blackard Bomberman Hero for 64. Great soundtrack!

Josue Guzman lol hilarious story. Thanks for sharing man

Andre Eichstedt Hello Andre, These are all of my games. I got them by looking to collect them all for about 2 years. Thanks for watching! If you liked this, you should see my Not For Resale video for Super Nintendo! Let me know what you think!

Wow, great, Respect ;-) And for sure, I will check your Super Nintendo collection not for resale out. Thanks for your reply Andre ;-)

Andre Eichstedt I appreciate that! Your comments and views help my small channel get noticed. If you subscribe, I promise you will be entertained!

I believe that, I hit the red button for you ;-)

Action Jackson95 say what! How did you figure out that he wrote it?? That's crazy, man. You collect the snes NFRs too?

My dumbass friends was the one who bought it and thought it would be cute I guess to write a Best Buy location on it. Idk why. I went over to his house and picked it up and wasn't paying attention enough to see it was the one that just sold on eBay. Ah well. I'll find another one. And not yet for snes. I'm finishing up N64 and then onto that.

Action Jackson95 I don't understand! I thought you said you were buying it from the guy on eBay?? Not from your friend that just bought it on eBay instead of you?

I didnt. I got me a Stunt Racer CIB instead. But my friend said he'd get one for me to hold it for me. He's also a collector that lives nearby and we help each other out. But he did that writing on the back for some dumbass reason. I didn't realize he bought the one on eBay and tampered with it.

Me too, I always loved the music in that game!

I hate it xD

You have no taste

Amazing tools!

MegaButze Must have been a back label?

They’ve been dumped! All google searchable!

Kro DaJuggalo 😂I love that. I feel extra inspired!

MarMax Gaming well I love that I found your video and it was also inspiring! 😁

Marty Santiago Turok Rage Wars does have a rare gray variant; this video was just to highlight an overlooked “set” of cartridges. There are definitely a lot more than 100.. there are 5 copies on eBay alone at this very second.

Great games!

ctdjazz bomberman hero music! Redial, Zip, etc you should check out their ost :)

oasisbeyond haha I was going for a different kind of tone here... I sound a bit more natural in the others ;)

James Rivera FunCo Land was the BEST place to look at video games back in the day!

SalimOfShadow thank you man! Really appreciate that! And yes, to your other comment-it took me over 2 years to complete the set.

Super cool!I'll keep following your vids! ;)

They have been!

Haha nice! I still need to play that one

Seemed that way for sure!

21shroom yes 😅, it took over 2 years and it was almost the only gaming related purchases I made during that time. I was checking eBay a few times a week pretty consistently for NFRs, which is how I learned the overall asking and sold prices.

Nice! That one’s a bit different, they look like that when bundled with the Sega Genesis

Marcelo Alves Wow! Thank you, Marcelo. That is definitely one of the nicest comments I've ever gotten. I have many more ideas that I hope you enjoy.

The Governor-General It did!

Surprise Pie lol your soul is worth more than $1500!

dud, i had it, still have, but in 3 pieces, damm i fee so down right now, i could use the money selling it. but my 5 years old nephew broke it. =(

Surprise Pie stfu

Bro I have the golden NFR copy 😊 But doubt I’ll sell it.

Surprise Pie don't say that please. It hurts me when people don't want a soul

I think it was Majora's mask now that I think about it.

Thank you, Johnny!

Thanks so much for watching! This is a fun sense of closure to have learned of the set from you---and now years later, you acknowledge me on a job well done. Lol

+MarMax Gaming \,,/

My man! Thanks for always being there for me!

TheKidCollector that's an example of a "Not for resale" because it was bundled with the system and didn't come on its own sold separately. There are millions of sonic "not for resale".. good question!

MarMax Gaming Ok thanks 👍👍👍

because most are made in Japan or America then sent everywhere else when it's done.

Lily Verseveld hey baby

Good for you (If what you say is legit)

PRGSPY_RBLX_OfficialYT does it matter? It's video games. I play over half of these in emulation now. Enjoyed them as a kid. But wouldn't dare spend money on them now. ESPECIALLY now seeing I can get them for free. Cool Boarders...i still have that cartridge. I don't know why I loved it as a kid. Lack of choices I guess. But I can't stand that damn game now lol

Agon Leed you know Nintendo is starting to cut down on ROM Distributors right?

PRGSPY_RBLX_OfficialYT the thing is, Nintendo didn't start out with even allowing tom distributers. It happened years and years ago illegally. And at that time, I could understand them being angry took away sells. But when they officially did not distribute the product themselves, there was no way to get it unless you already had copies, knew someone, or bought it from a person who had it. Nintendo no longer made it. Nor were they sending it out as roms. That was just what the internet had. Since that time roms and emulators have been in the internet like pools of water. Lakes, oceans, rivers, however you want to compare it, because it's dumb to buy water, when you have it already available, unless you just really enjoy the bottle it's in. They're essentially bottling water and making you pay for it is the point. Plus.....this whole NOT FOR RESALE cartridge thing....nintendomisnt selling them. These are people who already have them selling them to others who want it. Nintendo has no process in the deal. It would be like your friend from school bought the game 20yrs back. Now you want it. And you buy if from him. When you bought from him, how much did Nintendo make from THAT transaction that day? Emulators and roms are like porn and pictures in the internet. It's out there. There's virtually no way to stop it now. Back in 2006 when I was stuck in barracks on marine base just saving money after my Iraq tour and waiting to E.A.S. out, I was just looking for a way to play old nes to ps1 games in my browser. Found out about emulation. And since then I've replayed games I had as a kid, which I had every system except dreamcast. And I've had a chance to play games I've never played. O have emulators and every game I like and enjoy on hard drives. And themselves foe transport. And with new technology, on my tablet and cellphone. I'm sure others do as well. As I learned about it late in the game. There were already help about configuration and all that. My point...if there ever comes a time when internet tries to monetize "water" people still have a stock already. And in the world of technology, all you have to do is copy and paste and send. And it's right back on the internet again. If they wanted to monetize it and be effective, they would be done it from the start. But now we're at a point where buying it is just a dumb decision. Support new games. And new creators. But there's on reason to pay for what you get for these every old titles. Unless you just LOVE the bottle they come in. And a NOT FOR RESALE cartridge just isn't that nice of a bottle
