OK, I'm going to be honest, this may indeed be a gem in the market of rare Wii games, but it's not the rarest. That belongs to Mensa Academy, or if you ask a few of us, a couple other titles come to mind - titles that are equally as hard to find as Let's Sing or rarer.
Glad you jumped on it, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I'm curious what you will get! I'm not sure if he has multiple copies as it is still up there on amazon (??)

I was wondering why it was still up too after I ordered. I did message the seller to see what region it was, but decided to pull the trigger on buying it first and then seeing what his response will be since it's easy to cancel the transaction. Thanks again, and I'll keep you posted!

You may be right, though I think the hubbub surrounding this release right now has brought way more people out to search for it as opposed to American Mensa. I don't believe many were actively searching out for American Mensa at the time
of its release, it was more or less discovered to be a rarity down the road. I know I bought it for 3DS right away when I was collection for that console and the Wii release hadn't been confirmed at the time, so I knew something was weird with it. The demand Let's Sing is almost completely fueled by collectors on here searching for it (perhaps trickling over into a few other forums, I don't know). We have all sort of united in our obsession to track it down in every corner before its impossible to find in retail. I could still see how there'd only be no more than 200-300 copies floating around in the wild all told (with some of them probably sitting innocently in the rooms of some 10-year old girls). A sealed bundle? I'm guessing 50-100 at most? The key is leftover stock or stuff that didn't get shipped back in the recall that is sitting in places - that will be the main question going forward.
Sadly, unlike other collecting hobbies (card collecting), we'll never know print runs/circulation and true sales of any game, so your left to making wild guesses and assumptions. The real key with Let's Sing is it may be rarer than American Mensa, but more collectors/speculators are getting their hands on it right now than were doing with American Mensa. As far as I know Mensa had a full release, right? So I'd assume at least 5,000 copies were pressed and circulated...For Mensa's sake, its notoriety is probably going up now too with this renewed focus on the Wii rares
Glad you jumped on it, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I'm curious what you will get! I'm not sure if he has multiple copies as it is still up there on amazon (??)
I also just received this from the Amazon seller, I inquired what region it is. It sounds like it is indeed going to be the US NTSC edition.
I should have a Big box and regular edition on their way to me.

Atrevete a Sonar is probably the rarest North American Wii game that I can think of.
I'd bet that most people didn't even know that game existed until that seller from Mexico started listing copies 6 days ago. It wouldn't surprise me if it was, but I still doubt that it's the rarest wii game. Chances are that it'll be a few more years before anyone has anything more than a hunch on which Wii game is the rarest. Let's Sing 2016, Mensa, Atrevete, Cyberbike? These are the most obvious examples of what could be the rarest, but it's sometimes the least obvious game that ends up possibly being the rarest. Mhm, even less obvious than those 4 games.

Yep, this is a very good point and something people really should keep in mind. At one point Dragon Warrior 4 and Tengen Tetris were considered holy grails of NES collecting, now they're just mild uncommons. Meanwhile there are countless stories of all sorts of NES carts people passed over for dollars back in the day that are now worth butt loads. The mexican/latin america releases might seem super rare because they're hard for us to get, but that doesn't mean there aren't truck loads of them just waiting to make an appearance.
Anywho, i've been waiting to comment on this thread until i found myself a copy. My Let's Sing 2016 just arrived today! Sealed bundle with sealed game. I happened to be in the right place at the right time to snag it. I was looking through my amazon.com cart on the 21st and noticed that there was a listing for Let's Sing. Keep in mind that I'm Canadian so shopping on Amazon.com can be difficult. Most sellers don't turn on international shipping, and alot of them don't have a clue how to do it even if you contact them. Thankfully, not only was this listed as the bundle but they actually shipped to canada. Bought it right away for retail, $49.99 plus shipping. Unfortunately the shipping cost was a bit high, $25, but that's only about $9.50 higher than i'd have expected so can't really complain to much.
There's no way this game holds the value it currently has. There's been too many people stumbling on copies, and to my knowledge the news of this seems to be localised to NA. That's not to mention the handful of copies that have come out of europe, that just seems weird and makes me think there have to be more out there than what some people are implying. I'm really not a fan of encouraging value increasing recent titles. Infinite Space for the DS and Hexyz Force for the PSP(the psp's top value retail game) just got a reprint of all things, anything can happen when it comes to current stuff.

I had been looking for a seller in Mexico who would be most likely to locate the 4 Wii titles for me. I contacted this guy to see what he could find. I bought this plus a el chavo from him. So I may be responsible for him seeing the profits from these games. At least they are now out for others to purchase. I'll take that as a win! I just need lucha to finish out the set. If you can help me out please point away.

They canceled my order so either it wasn't the NTSC version or they found out what it's selling for.
A mic version just sold on eBay for $277 shipped, looks like this thing is still heating up.
Don't forget Rock Revolution. Supposedly 3 copies sold before that recall.
Was that recalled? We had copies of it for a good long while at the GameStop I worked at at the time, although we might have just...neglected to send them back. That sort of thing was never really strictly enforced.

Since when did NTSC Rock Revolution ship to stores? I knew about the PAL copies, but every sign pointed to vaporware here.

Okay, I'm an old drunk who can't remember shit - I just Googled Rock Revolution and I got it confused with another music game also-ran. There was some other shitty Wii music game with similar cover art that I was getting it confused with, my bad!
So what's the story here, did anything interesting happen or did the publisher just pull the plug on it?

It was a BIN for a CIB open copy (game only) for $150. It sold quickly. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lets-Sing-2016-Nintendo-Wii-2015-Complete-No-Mic-/282020314002?hash=item41a9b87b92:g:uTEAAOSwKfVXIlfP

Maybe Ill sell my CIB for 300 lol
Atrevete a Sonar is probably the rarest North American Wii game that I can think of.
Good point, the Latin American ones slipped my mind. I would say Lucha Libre AAA: Heroes del Ring is of comparable rarity as well.
