Though the Ninja Gaiden, Bionic Commando and Shinobi-inspired action platformer reviewed positively among critics at the time, its sales, limited advertising and strange release in only the US and PAL territories failed to reflect that. It’s not as hard to find in complete condition as Pocky & Rocky with Becky (mentioned above), but the cartridge is more in demand due to it being an interesting and more exclusive game for the GBA. But of course, that’s nothing compared to the pristine condition sealed and graded unit that sold for $5000 on eBay in March 2020.Ĭheck for Pocky & Rocky with Becky on eBayĬheck for Pocky & Rocky with Becky on Amazon Ninja Five-O: $215 – $533 ($900 Sealed)ĭeveloped by Hudson Soft and Published by Konami, Ninja Five-O has one of the Gameboy Advances hardest to come across and highest priced official retail releases in the aftermarket these last decade or so. There was actually a n eBay listing in April 2020 that sold only the box, manual, and inserts (no game cartridge) for over $670 with shipping. Sales of the cart alone have recently pushed past the $100 range but the costly cardboard for Pocky and Rocky has also been hovering in to the $770 range recently. The game was still a relative bargain before 2015, but it started dramatically climbing in value from that point. With few realizing its limited run and its relatively small changes from the SNES counterparts, it may not be a total surprise that you could find cartridges of “with Becky” for $5 to $7 before 2010.

Pocky & Rocky with Becky falls into this trend, but the developer, Altron, actually based this one more off the original arcade game than simply expanding off the SNES games - primarily with the requirement to find a key in the levels to unlock the boss room and the difficulty level is toned down a bit and the levels are a bit more bite-sized to accommodate for the portable mindset. Most gamers that lived through the Game Boy Advance launch remember a lot of SNES remakes in the GBA game lineup. It also seems to be one of the hardest games to find in a complete or sealed condition (which explains the wider gap between cart-only and complete values) This 2002 North American and Japan only release features multi-directional shooter gameplay very similar to the Super Nintendo originals.

Much like other classic Nintendo game, we have gradually been seeing stronger demand for complete copies of games in their condition-sensitive cardboard packaging. Be sure to do your research before going in on a bigger or more popular purchase for the system The low cost of materials make it so these carts are easy to pump out. While Pokemon games are the most common games to see bootleg carts due to the series’ high popularity, plenty of other games over time have received their own unfortunate bootlegs due to how small GBA carts are. Something to take note of for collectors new to GBA or cartridge collecting in general is the widespread distribution of counterfeit carts for the system.
