In a time of uncertainty, loneliness, and boredom, it's no wonder the retro game market has seen such a boom: These old, virtual worlds can provide people with a nostalgic and immersive comfort other media types can't. But alongside the increase in demand, pricing has also likely been affected by supply. Sony and Nintendo - the two console manufacturers still in business that produced systems and games during the in-demand era - do not have reliable ways for current-gen gamers to enjoy their old catalogs.

Pretty simple, right? So, why is it so rare? This game is one that didn't receive great reviews , especially the GameCube version. Because of that, there were likely not a lot of copies sold.
Resident Evil 10th Anniversary Collection pairs together some of the greats in the series. An extra factor for its rarity is that it was a GameStop exclusive , coming out at the tail end of the GameCube's lifespan.
All copies released have the Player's Choice banner. Many of the links on pricecharting. One link even leads you to a copy of the first Resident Evil for GameCube. Has the game already been sold?
