RE:Rarity List

Hmmm...

Well, I won't discuss the rarity of the various "unofficial" or "not for 
sale" releases (or "omake" items like the Bizarre de Gozaru handbag) - they 
are just about all pretty rare.  I also won't speak about the rarity of 
multi-pressing sub-releases like Tokimeki Memorial...

I found all of the USA titles to be available (although some are only 
available at a premium price), but Dungeon Explorer 2, Dynastic Hero and 
Beyond Shadowgate were a bit more difficult to find than others.  You might 
have to search for a few weeks, but really a few weeks is nothing.

The kings of regular-release hard-to-find, in my opinion, were:
Sexy Idol Mahjong Yakyuten no Uta
The TV Show
Go! Go! Birdie Chance
Shin Evil Spirit Legend
Quiz no Hoshi
And one of the Nobunaga games - but I can't remember which one.

Actually, that's basically sorted by rarity too (most rare at top).

I feel pretty lucky to have found them at all.  And I recall that they were 
all expensive when I finally *did* find them, but the price was no longer 
important - I searched for a couple of years for some of these.  And 
"Yakyuten no Uta" was just a fluke that I accidentally found when I visited 
Japan - I couldn't believe it (before that day, I had never heard of the game).
