What Surprisingly Valuable Switch Games Do You Own?

[ChadFL]

I was browsing my own Switch collection on on Gameye recently and came up with a few games with values far greater than I expected. Some of them are games I bought early in the Switch lifecycle and are still sealed, as I probably got them on sale and never got around to playing.

Minecraft: Story Mode Complete Adventure (~$175, sealed) - By far the biggest shocker for me. I really liked Telltale games back on the PS3/PS4, so I picked this one up very early after the Switch was launched. Think it was only like $20-30. The only thing I can come up with was this game ended up having a very small print run/didn't sell well physically. I know Telltale had more or less collapsed as a company by 2017-18, after they unfortunately put out a number of very buggy/somewhat unfinished games that needed major patches, so people probably weren't buying their releases in large numbers by this release. I believe this release includes both the Season 1 and Season 2 Minecraft games, and they're apparently 100% on the cartridge. Minecraft was one of Telltale's better releases, so maybe people have come to appreciate this release more over time.

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse (~$290, sealed) - Ok, so I knew this one was worth a lot for years now. It's actually come down in value quite a bit, once peaking at around $400. But even at nearly $300, I'm not entirely clear why this Shantae game is so valuable compared to the ~$50 the other Shantae games are worth.

Outlast: Bundle of Terror (~$310, sealed) - These are OK survival horror games, but nothing special. Guess the value is mainly due to it being limited print and survival horror games in general tending to spike on value over time.

Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - The Final Season (~$80, sealed) - Guess it's similar to Minecraft: Story Mode. Came out early on the Switch lifecycle, didn't sell well, has all the content on cartridge.

Rocket League: Collector's Edition (~$79, sealed) - Think it was a PS3 game ported to Switch that wasn't all that popular on Switch at the time.

Batman: The Telltale Series (~$72, sealed) - Similar to the other Telltale Switch releases, value has spiked.
