The most valuable games N64 and how much does it cost

Summary

• Rare N64 games, such as Worms Armageddon, are of high value due to low sales and short printing.

• The complete price in Bomberman 64 increased dramatically sharply and emphasized the importance of packaging.

• A copy of Donkey Kong 64 with beta content is highly valuable and sought after by collectors.

If you leave the fourth generation of consoles and the fifth, the most precious games available are not as wild as what was seen on SNES and Genesis. However, they are still fascinating in their own special way, especially when it comes to Nintendo 64.

The N64 was a cassette system, so there are a lot of crazy games that would never happen on other consoles at the time. Whether they are exclusive rental, not for the next surprises or North American games released exclusively in Brazil, N64 is released many interesting and rare games.

All values ​​are based on the complete price of pricecharting at the time of writing. If there is no complete price, a free price will be used instead.

Updated March 15, 2025, Dominic Allen: It has been five years since this article has been updated for the last time, and anyone who is familiar with video game prices knows that it has been changing everything for five years. Sure, some games will remain expensive, but the most precious games will change dramatically in five years, especially when looking at inflation. In particular, one title jumped more than twice the price in a single month, which shows the constantly changing retro game market.

Worms Armageddon – 1 020 $

The most precious game worms

The 1999 Classic Worms Armageddon is today on all modern platforms defining a tensile strategic game. During the initial release of the game, he also received a lot of ports, including Nintendo 64, and while a copy of the PAL region is quite cheap, the NTSC version costs a ton of money.

Whenever the American version costs significantly more than the United Kingdom equivalent, it is usually a sign that the game was briefly printed, had low sales or both. See, for example, PS2 and Xbox Futurama, which is significantly rare in the US compared to Europe due to low sales in the region.

Bomberman 64: Second Attack – 1 111 $

Missing this game in your collection is a real bummer, man

After all these years, the Bomberman Hudson Soft series retains its cult and many old school titles are very valuable. Take a look at Bomberman 64: The second attack, the rarest entry into the Nintendo 64 series. Like the Worms Armageddon, it was sold badly, but what's interesting, there is a difference between free and complete prices in the box.

The second attack of Loos remained in the range of $ 200 for years, but the price complete in the box dramatically jumped. From January to February 2022, the price complete in the box increased from $ 488 to $ 990 and has since remained in this range of $ 1,000. These gaming boxes must be quickly triggered and show how valuable a copy is compared to free cassette.

Donkey Kong 64 not for additional sales – $ 1,999

Finding this game will cause you to go bananas

If you look at Retro Nintendo games, you will sometimes find products for further sale. These were shops and demo kiosky at that time, and because the store employees were the only ones who had access to them, it is very difficult to come today. However, the Nintendo 64 has some of the most valuable not for existing cartridges, such as Donkey Kong 64.

The Classic Classic N64 3D platform N64 came to the shops in these gray, not for carts for other sales and the reason they are so valuable is that it actually has beta content. There are not as much beta content as other N64 trolleys, but these treasures are found in the fact that this game worth almost $ 2,000.

F1 Racing Championship – 2 079 $

The perfect example of resource management

You can be confused why F1 Racing Championship is a rare NTSC game when it has never been released in the United States. In the region it was the last minute delivery, but Ubisoft did something funny when time came for Brazilian release.

Instead of sending a copy of the Pal Region, because Brazil is an area of ​​PAL, in fact has sent the intended release of the US with the NTSC and everything. It had to have the remaining supply of the US and simply used it. It is so strange to have a NTSC game from Brazil and it is infallible, why this edition is so rare.

Yoshi's story International version – $ 2,100

Even more crazy not for the cassette

One of the name for the next sale, which is really a cut over others in terms of its strange nature, is Yoshi's story. Like many games at the time, it was launched in Japan several months before the US. When the time has come for the Nintendo of America to be sent not for other sales cartridges to increase interest, the North American version has not been completed yet.

As such, he sent for the next version of the Japanese game. Yoshi's story of the international version is just a Japanese name, but inside the NTSC cassette instead of JP One. Even the international version on the cassette is just a sticker at the top of the Japanese etiquette. This incredibly bizarre variant is unlike other games.

5

Turok 2: Seeds of Evil Not for Olesa – $ 2,100

The most precious FPS game on N64

Turok 2: Evil seeds must be one of the most popular FPS games on Nintendo 64, with amazing weapons that still feel good to this day. However, the title is not a special experience for fans for further sales, because, like the Donkey Kong 64, the cassette has a beta content.

You can tell how soon this edition was, because there is no correct label on the tape. It's just a white background game logo. Inside this treasure of video games there are plenty of beta content, which makes it the second most precious for the next game in the system.

Super Bowling – 2 147 $

Unusual on a completely different level

The N64 game, which many have not heard of, is Super Bowling, full of 3D remake of the original title SNES. You will be lucky to find this game in the wild as well as retro conventions. He was sold incredibly badly as one would imagine.

The box itself looks super generic, with Flash game from 2000 to logo, which at that time had to turn off many potential shoppers. Bad sales is the main reason why this game is so rare. Yes, people say it was a late edition for the system, but for January 2000 it is too early to do so.

3

Stunt Racer 64 – 2 499 $

N64 Blockbuster's exclusive game is not known

Another game with a fascinating story must be Stunt Racer 64. The title was planned to be released in 2000 but was canceled. Why does the copy exist? In October 2000, Stunt Racer 64 became an exclusive blockbuster rental, probably because the publisher wanted to recover some development costs.

It is so strange that the game will cancel, but we still see the release in this limited way. Given that the box copies were only in the hands of blockbuster employees, this game is rare at a completely different level. Stunt Racer 64, however, is not the most precious exclusive title on the N64.

2

Clayfighter: Sculptor's Cut – 4 046 $

Holy Grail N64

Many N64 collectors have almost all games except one: Clayfighter: Sculptor's Cut. The updated version of Clayfighter 63 1/3, adding four new characters, a sculptural section was available exclusively through a blockbuster as a rental. The same problem with a rarity with the Stunt Racer 64 boxes also applied to a sculptor cut.

Despite the start of the years before Stunt Racer, Clayfighter is a more rare title, probably due to higher demand. If you only want a complete collection, it is better to get a free copy because it is much cheaper for approximately $ 1,000. To pay $ 4,000 for a complete copy you would need some serious money.

The Legend of Zelda: Major's Mask No for the next Sales Gray – 8 994 $

The three best game Zelda

It is incredibly appropriate that the most precious N64 game includes a series known for the amazing treasures awaiting opening. Like Donkey Kong 64, The Legend of Zelda: Major's mask had two versions not for another cassette: gold and gray.

You want a gray that was exclusive to toys 'r' USA, because it is a cassette with tons of beta content. Major's mask must be the most important and popular game of these three, not for the next sale of beta cassettes, making it the most valuable game N64 and one of the rarest Gelda games, the period.
