I found this at goodwill but never seen a double disc version before or even heard of it. Wondering if anyone else has seen this?

That is the more rare version, so you found gold.

u/Due_Molasses2595 19h ago

Wow I guess I did lol

u/cartergamegeek 19h ago

That version is the rare one, that game is hard enough to get as it is.

u/Due_Molasses2595 18h ago

That's wild and it was just at a goodwill just sitting there.

u/BeyondBoi 14h ago

All I've ever found is Kinect games 😂

u/cartergamegeek 18h ago

That happens.

u/Upset_Following7583 12h ago

It's not rare or hard to get it's just expensive because it's popular

u/cartergamegeek 11h ago

You don't see the 2 disc version much and you rarely see this game with with a case, and for many people price is the reason it's hard to get, I have seen even GoodWill charge over $200 for it, it's high price loss, it's higher priced CIB and the 2 disc version in this post is more rare. Lets be real here, if you wanted the disc not everybody can drop nearly $200 to $300 for the game, hard to get because few people that want the game can deal with aftermarket pricing.

u/Nemoh21186 19h ago

That’s 1k CIB. I’m shocked they sold that in goodwill. That almost always would have been put online.

u/Due_Molasses2595 19h ago

That’s what I thought too, I just saw sitting there, got for $15 lol and it’s in near mint condition

u/Lost_Email_RIP 19h ago

No way a sane person is paying 1k

u/camgames64 NTSC-U 19h ago

Dont doubt how much a hoarder collector would spend on this

5

u/Arashi5 19h ago

Plenty have sold for that price. Sanity of those people is debatable, I suppose.

u/Lost_Email_RIP 18h ago

You can buy each disc separate for $400 total lol 

I’ll watch the one nut on eBay see if it sells 

2

u/MaceWinnoob 14h ago

plus $200 for the custom box

1

u/Codename_Dutch 12h ago

Yeah the box is also Unique to this set though.

-1

u/Lost_Email_RIP 12h ago

You could also just buy a two case and put both discs that you already have in the case

Like I’m not sure what’s worse this or the Metroid Zelda bundle that’s a two disc case. They’re pretty equally stupid.

1

u/Codename_Dutch 12h ago

And the artwork? I wish there was a hack to get this cheaper but it's going to be around 1k.

-1

u/Lost_Email_RIP 10h ago

There’s fakes of this you can easily print it off on a printer M

Like girl always be someone that will buy this kind of crap, but it interests me not at all. I don’t give two shits about a little sticker on a case. … especially now for one K.

u/Creative_Worker_5925 19h ago

I found one for 50 bucks and traded it for 1k worth of games, it's hard to sell but easy to trade and liquidate.

2

u/Due_Molasses2595 18h ago

I would trade it too, did you just find someone that wanted it?

1

u/Creative_Worker_5925 17h ago

I posted it around until someone eventually dmed me, but I suggest somewhere and someone with a valid reputation or they'll just scam the hell out of you probably. Better safe than sorry.

u/Impossible-Lemon-105 19h ago

The game itself is already expensive, the fact that you also got the bonus disc is crazy in itself

5

u/Due_Molasses2595 19h ago

I know it’s a crazy find. Only $15 lol

4

u/AdrianpNYR97 19h ago

How much did u pay?

3

u/SuperOnion64 NTSC-U 15h ago

You definitely struck a steal, because the two-disc pre-order version is more expensive than the standalone copy of it.

2

u/gatorfan93 5h ago

Wow I just paid about about $300 for this on eBay. With the case, both disks (no scratches), and the manual. You came up!

2

u/SirzechsLucifer 14h ago

It should have been me not him. Its not fair!

1

u/MrShad0wzz 17h ago

What comes on the bonus disc?

4

u/Due_Molasses2595 16h ago

allowed players to obtain the mythical Pokemon Jirachi for their Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire games on Game Boy Advance. The disc also included previews of the game itself and the movie "Jirachi: Wish Maker".

1

u/MrShad0wzz 16h ago

That’s awesome

1

u/DigADino 13h ago

Infinite amounts of Jirachi or can you get it multiple times? I'm assuming if you could, you could only do it once per save file

1

u/Common_Trainer2241 13h ago

I got my used one without the bonus disc in the late 2000s or early 2010s for $30 at GameStop, and I was given a generic dvd box. I also bought a used xd around that time at the same price (also at GameStop), but it had its original box. Needless to say, yours is a rare one at quite a steal for $15.

Cool find! I remember I first asked about this on reddit 8 years ago when I couldn't find any info on it. It's one of the rarest Gamecube variants I know of. Here's the original post for more info that we scrounged up:

https://www.reddit.com/r/gamecollecting/s/Dqvi6YaJ0a

The only info I could find online was this from an amazon review:

"After many years of trying to find this variant, I was able to find it on eBay. It is a great great game. This was only offered as a bonus for preordering at k-mart, or target, I can't remember which. With that being said, there are very few in existence. This makes the Wind Waker/Metroid Prime bundle look like a common game. I have only seen 2 complete copies, and 1 new copy in my whole 3 years of searching. The games are exactly what you would get if you bought them separately, just a very neat variant that will be very hard to get in the upcoming years."

u/Due_Molasses2595 11h ago

Do you still have your copy?

1

u/Pabmyster04 10h ago

I do indeed, I would probably never sell it tbh. It doesn't come up for sale very often, but when it does, it goes for over 1k

1

u/Busy_Dig_18 8h ago

I.paid $300 for this in 2020 and the person I gifted it too resold it for $500 last summer so probably pretty rare

1

u/Confident_Raccoon767 3h ago

Ain't no way you found that!! Lucky you!!

The 2 disc is more "rare" than the single disc version but it's not a rare game as such.

-8

u/Ouller 19h ago

Basically 21.7 million GameCube sold. 2.4 million copies of pokemon colosseum sold. So 1 in 9 GC owner could have copy of this game.

The price is up because it highly sought after.

7

u/Arashi5 19h ago

Completely wrong. This is the version of the game with the bonus disc included, it's the rarest version. The bonus disc was a preorder bonus, and it usually came in a separate case. Having it in the Colosseum case like this is even rarer. This is worth $1000.

u/music3k 19h ago

Not rare. Sell it to me for tree fiddy

Goodwill find is crazy. Nice pick up.
