Ok, I went through and made adjustments based on my experience in collecting for the SNES. I worked on this between 2004-2014 if people want the time frame. The rarity is based on what I found and nothing to do with price (I do not know the current price of most of these anyway). Anything I moved up is noted with "^" and anything moved lower is noted with "v". Hopefully this can offer some insight.
You can use what ever method you want, but that just doesn't work out, especially for this guide. Pieces is one of the rarest games on the system but has no demand because it is an obscure puzzle games most people haven't heard of, let alone interested in. Everyone wants Link to the Past. Rarity doesn't always equal price just like price doesn't always equal rarity.
I dont know about you, but i see far fewer tmnt IVs than all the other shit thats a 1. In my mind its more a 3, but understanding how well it sold and that I do see it often enough, I gave it a 2. Donkey Kong Country is an example of a snes popular game that is a 1. Turtles in Time isnt near as common as donkey kong country. I cant lump those together. It just doesnt make sense. I dont think Ive purchased a reasonable size snes lot and not had dkc in it lol. mario world is also the popular game example of an R1. Id put link to the past in as an R1 as well. But other common popular stuff like TMNT IV, Contra III, Castlevania IV, Super Metroid. That stuff is R2 and R3 imo. Turtles and contra I lean towards a 2 while metroid and castlevania I lean more to 3
R1 is for dirt commons you basically trip over in the wild. While some are more popular and they might not be stacked up at a gamestore you know what im talking about
R1 is the lowest it goes. TMNT IV is not the lowest rarity level of the system. period
I see tons of games on the 1 list that should probably be 4s or 5s or 6s, but if you have popular games with reprints as high as a 3 how do you make that work? Do you have to move up all of the rest of the games too?
How do you compare a game that might sell less than 12 times a year total on ebay that is a "1" to a popular common game like TMNT that might sell 1200+ copies and with 100+ on ebay and 60+ on amazon at any moment?

Do you have an actual example of that? I really don't think that situation actually applies to any SNES game. Maybe some of the Atari crap like Pacman or ET, but that sort of crap just didn't happen on Nintendo consoles.

Please enlighten me. I don't have most of the common crap yet. I really doubt there is anything that common that only sells a dozen times a year.
I know with NES even common crap "nobody wants" like Silent Service and Captain Skyhawk sell all the time, all day long on ebay.
I disagree about lowering some games to 1 like TMNT IV. Its not rare, but people cmon. 1s are the games you see in every lot. Top Gear, Vegas Stakes, Caesers Palace, Mario World, NHLPA 93, zoop, george foreman boxing, madden 92-96, fifa international soccer, wheel of fortune deluxe edition, etc. 2s and 3s are common games too . save the 1s for the annoying games that you cant give away that are in every lot. Alot of popular stuff is on the common side, but its not in every single lot and sitting on the shelf in multiple copies at every single store. Thats what a 1 is. Popular games that are more likely 1s are DKC and mario world. TMNT IV's and Super Metroids are more 2s and 3s level commons. While you see them. They arent in every snes lot or game store.
cacoma knight is also rarer than a 5. I think some of you are too nervous to have a bold suggestion and looking at barely ticking these up. The snes database is a mess and almost needs to be thrown out all together. Dont use the number listed as a starting spot. Scrap it and come up with a number on your own.
I hear ya, obviously there's going to be a lot of disagreement in this thread, that's okay by me. I guess I looked at TMNT IV being an R2 and Turtles Tournament Fighters as an R1 and saw how obviously wrong that was. Both are pretty common games, but I think there were at least a few times more copies of TMNT IV printed. I didn't think Tournament Fighter rated an R3, but putting them both at the same level seemed wrong. As mentioned TMNT IV had multiple print runs in it's day and despite arguably being the epitome of Beat 'em ups on the system is still pretty easy to obtain (for a price). Im pretty sure you don't see it in "lots" like the Vegas Stake's, Mario World, Zoop etc. solely because of it's price tag.
As for Cacoma Knight, I was hesitant to give it higher than a 5 because I was looking at cart only. I think box/manual would definitely be higher, but I didn't want to touch that can of worms. If someone insisted on giving it a 6 I certainly wouldn't argue against it.
Just so happens I have a spare Cacoma Knight manual in my FS thread... **grins** ... but yes, I'd agree it's rarer then a 5, probably closer to a 6-7 or maybe even an 8.
Anything Seta, Titus, Gametek or Sofel or any of those ramshackle 3rd party developers released back then START at a 5 IMO like I said earlier in the thread. I don't think I've ever seen any of their games besides Air Strike Patrol in a gaming store in person. Boxes and manuals for some of these (and **gulp** posters)... yeah that's a can of worms and best left alone for right now.
As for the rarity 1 versus rarity 2-3 debate... something like Mario Paint or Vegas Stakes or Madden Football are what I'd call rarity 1's. These are the things in gamestores and in lots that there can be 10 copies of sitting around and not under the glass case. Stuff like Metroid, Turtles 4, Mario World... I'd say are closer to 2-3, mainly because there aren't as many bouncing around compared to the games you'd have ranked at 1 (people holding onto them as they're legit classics perhaps?)... but for whatever the reason you're more then likely to come across 5 Mario Paint carts for every 1 Turtles 4 you find out there. At least in my experience. Mario World is a 2-3, while the Mario World box HAS to be like a rarity 7-8, while the manual is a 1 as it came with a ton of systems and is plentiful.
Mega Man Soccer is another one that I was thinking about being higher... there's a decent amount of cart only copies online, but in person I've never seen it, even at conventions...

I will finish up my rarity list opinion for carts this weekend. Id love to see your thoughts on it, since you are a big snes guy.
Id probably say 50 mario paints for every 1 TMNT IV you see haha. Mega Man X is in the same boat at Turtles in time to me. Got the mexico reprints and I see it often with lots but its not a 1
Im only in the NES stuff but I think those are the biggest "WTFs" I found.

There are others that should be lowered but arent as common. I think the BIG problem is the 8, 9 and 10s. Perhaps all the bigger guns be moved up to 8 or 9, and 10 should be reserved for SE, NWC, etc.
Does anyone think it might be useful to start with an R1 list of the most common 15-20 games on the system like that NES list above and then go from there?

I think the easiest way would be for you to provide your numbers for every game and go from there as I think you have a better idea than pretty much anyone.
Maybe.....as a short fix, we can create a program that counts how many carts of a particular game are available on eBay, either as a single, or as part of a lot.

Thanks for saying that buddy, but some people don't think so. lol
I've been thinking about how to do every game at once, but it seems like overall rarity is going to be relative to what games are the most common?
Quest has a point that some popular games might be R2s compared to stuff like Mario Paint, Donkey Kong Country, Mario World and I like how that list of R1s looks for NES.
A separate thing to note is that rarity levels for box and manuals are often ignored and given the same rarity score as carts (N64 is an annoying example)
One last sample from me.... assuming nobody hasn't flagged this game already
Head-on Soccer (SNES)
Posted Rarity: 8
Price: 1 (Under $10)
If you consider how rare the game might be, and how little people will sell it for, the combined score could be low as a 4.
No, rarity and price are mutually exclusive.
James Bond Jr is WAY rarer that DuckTales 2 and DT2 is almost 10x the price. Here we're only talking about how rare the cart is in existance, regardless of what someone wants for it,

disagree with a few of those. Mario Allstars is not as common as mario world and almost all those games you listed. just cant lump them together.
DKC 2
DKC 3
Super Mario Allstars
Super Mario Kart
Killer Instinct
I believe those are R2. Not 1. Id definitely have subbed some other games as R1 over those.
As far as your possible candidates go Brock, I know Super Metroid is a million seller, but you just dont see it that much compared to other popular games like that. Id have it as an R3 actually. Yoshi's Island I believe is also closer to an R2/R3 than a 1. It pops up in lots but not the frequency of the other games you are saying are R1
Remember guys R2 and R3s are common as hell and pretty common categories as well
Ok quest, I'll add yours too. And I'm definitely open to people lobbying their case to win votes, as it were.
I think almost anything will be less common than Super Mario World, kind of like how Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt is probably quite a bit more common than some of those NES titles. But it can still fall in that same tier

Zelda: Link to the Past is being sold for more than that game, so its overall value might be reduced to something like a 5.
Just for comparison's sake, NES only has 14 R1s:
SNES currently has 222 R1s...
TMNT 1 should definately be an R1 for NES, can't believe that isn't on there.
I dont know about you, but i see far fewer tmnt IVs than all the other shit thats a 1. In my mind its more a 3, but understanding how well it sold and that I do see it often enough, I gave it a 2. Donkey Kong Country is an example of a snes popular game that is a 1. Turtles in Time isnt near as common as donkey kong country. I cant lump those together. It just doesnt make sense. I dont think Ive purchased a reasonable size snes lot and not had dkc in it lol. mario world is also the popular game example of an R1. Id put link to the past in as an R1 as well. But other common popular stuff like TMNT IV, Contra III, Castlevania IV, Super Metroid. That stuff is R2 and R3 imo. Turtles and contra I lean towards a 2 while metroid and castlevania I lean more to 3
R1 is for dirt commons you basically trip over in the wild. While some are more popular and they might not be stacked up at a gamestore you know what im talking about
R1 is the lowest it goes. TMNT IV is not the lowest rarity level of the system. period
I see tons of games on the 1 list that should probably be 4s or 5s or 6s, but if you have popular games with reprints as high as a 3 how do you make that work? Do you have to move up all of the rest of the games too?
How do you compare a game that might sell less than 12 times a year total on ebay that is a "1" to a popular common game like TMNT that might sell 1200+ copies and with 100+ on ebay and 60+ on amazon at any moment?

Does anyone think it might be useful to start with an R1 list of the most common 15-20 games on the system like that NES list above and then go from there?
I think the easiest way would be for you to provide your numbers for every game and go from there as I think you have a better idea than pretty much anyone.

Thanks for saying that buddy, but some people don't think so. lol
I've been thinking about how to do every game at once, but it seems like overall rarity is going to be relative to what games are the most common?
Quest has a point that some popular games might be R2s compared to stuff like Mario Paint, Donkey Kong Country, Mario World and I like how that list of R1s looks for NES.

One last sample from me.... assuming nobody hasn't flagged this game already
Head-on Soccer (SNES)
Posted Rarity: 8
Price: 1 (Under $10)

No, rarity and price are mutually exclusive.
James Bond Jr is WAY rarer that DuckTales 2 and DT2 is almost 10x the price. Here we're only talking about how rare the cart is in existance, regardless of what someone wants for it,

I believe those are R2. Not 1. Id definitely have subbed some other games as R1 over those.
As far as your possible candidates go Brock, I know Super Metroid is a million seller, but you just dont see it that much compared to other popular games like that. Id have it as an R3 actually. Yoshi's Island I believe is also closer to an R2/R3 than a 1. It pops up in lots but not the frequency of the other games you are saying are R1
Remember guys R2 and R3s are common as hell and pretty common categories as well
Maybe a 4
Ok quest, I'll add yours too. And I'm definitely open to people lobbying their case to win votes, as it were.
I think almost anything will be less common than Super Mario World, kind of like how Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt is probably quite a bit more common than some of those NES titles. But it can still fall in that same tier
