GuidesThe 10 Most Expensive N64 Games (PAL) 2026 – Prices & Stories
July 27, 2026
The Nintendo 64 has one of the most loyal fanbases of any console – Mario 64, Ocarina of Time and GoldenEye defined a generation. But while the big classics sold millions and remain cheap today, some N64 games saw tiny European print runs.
Those cartridges now trade for three-figure sums in 2026 – complete-in-box copies of some even reach four figures. Here are the 10 most expensive PAL N64 games, ranked by what you'd realistically pay or get for a complete copy (cartridge + box + manual, "CIB").
One thing first: N64 boxes were cardboard – and most people threw them away. That's why the box is usually worth more than the cartridge. A loose cart often brings only a fraction of the CIB price.
Current price: ~€300–900 (CIB, PAL)
The holy grail for European N64 collectors. Blizzard's strategy classic hit the N64 at the very end of the console's life (2000) – and the PAL version shipped in tiny numbers, mostly in Australia with a trickle reaching Europe.
Why so expensive?
Current price: ~€200–800 (CIB, PAL)
The sequel to the charming kart-style snowboard racer got a minuscule PAL release. While the US version is still findable, the European release is one of the rarest regular PAL games, period.
Why so expensive?
Current price: ~€150–400 (CIB)
Rare's anarchic masterpiece launched in March 2001 – with the GameCube era already looming. Small print run, mature rating (unusual for Nintendo), and many retailers barely stocked it.
Why so expensive?
Fun fact: Nintendo barely promoted its own game at the time. Today, the market is making up for it.
Current price: ~€120–300 (CIB)
Worms, of all things! The N64 version of the party classic had a very limited production run. Millions know the game from PC – on N64, it's a genuine rarity.
Why so expensive?
Current price: ~€100–300 (CIB)
Konami's last football outing on the N64. Sports games were considered worthless – until collectors realized the late-era releases were barely produced at all.
Why so expensive?
Current price: ~€100–250 (CIB)
A PAL curiosity: Konami's adorable doodle-fighter released in Europe and Japan – but never in the US. That makes the PAL version the most accessible one for American collectors, which drives demand even higher.
Why so expensive?
Current price: ~€120–250 (CIB)
The successor to Super Mario RPG didn't reach Europe until October 2001 – with the GameCube already on store shelves. The print run was correspondingly small.
Why so expensive?

Same story as Paper Mario: a late-2001 European release with a small print run – and thanks to its eternal party appeal, most copies were literally played to death.
Why so expensive?
Current price: ~€80–200 (CIB)
The oddball of the list: Taz Express released exclusively in PAL territories – the planned US version was cancelled. A mediocre game made valuable purely by its exclusivity.
Why so expensive?
Current price: ~€80–180 (CIB)
Rare's second bear adventure suffered the fate of all 2000-era releases: the world was already looking at the next console generation.
Why so expensive?
Sealed new-old-stock plays by its own rules: a sealed, graded copy of Ocarina of Time sold at auction in 2021 for a record of roughly $870,000. That's an extreme outlier – but even "ordinary" sealed PAL classics bring 5–20× the CIB price. So if you still own a shrink-wrapped N64 game: don't open it.

Usually much less than complete copies – but not nothing. A loose StarCraft 64 still fetches €100+. For mass-market titles like Mario Kart 64 or GoldenEye, loose prices sit around €15–40.
From actually sold listings (eBay sold items, PriceCharting) – not from asking prices of active listings. The ranges reflect condition and completeness: lower end = played but complete, upper end = top condition.
The N64 benefits from the 90s generation's nostalgia wave, now at prime collecting age. The rare late releases have risen steadily in recent years. No guarantees though – markets fluctuate.
Check the region code on the cartridge and box (e.g. NOE = Germany, EUR = Europe, AUS = Australia). Some games are only rare in specific PAL countries. The Kollekto scanner captures the exact version automatically.
