Summary

• PlayStation Vita has some extremely rare games, like Revenge of the Bird King worth over $7,600.
• Limited Run Games caused scarcity with releases like The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth valued at $4,000.
• The Vita has expensive gems like fan favorite Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 priced at $612.

The PlayStation Vita was an incredible portable system, being the predecessor to the Nintendo Switch and PS Portal with its remote play with the PS4. That was game-changing for the time, along with its beautiful OLED screen in 2012. A lot of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:great games came out on the system, but like any console, plenty of rare ones, too.

The thing with the PlayStation Vita is that most 🎃of the rare games weren't even released at all, but they were still printed. Limited Run Games and Nicalis are the prime culprits, and their mishaps lead to an extremely frustrating time for anyone looking for a complete PS Vita collection.

All values are based o✤n co🐼mplete price at the time of writing.

Updated on March 31, 2025, by Dominic Allen: More than the PSP, the Vita is a cult favorite among the gaming community in a similar fashion to Sega's Dreamcast. Both were a commercial failure, but fan love has never been higher with its great games. More people are getting into collecting Vita games, but there are many nasty rare titles that'll cost thousands. These are the rarest PS Vita games ever.

8 ও Breach & Cl𒐪ear - $246

The Limited Run Burn Starts

Right off the bat, Limited Run Games started its Vita reign of terror as it released the physical Vita v☂ersion of Breach & Clear. A turn-based tactical RPG that's also available on PC and mobile phones, the Vita release is the only𓂃 physical version of the game.

Only around 1,500 copies were printed, and they sold out online within two hours. That's rough, but strangely, you'd think the price wouဣld be higher given the circumstances. The demand for this game is likely not as high as other more popular rare Vita titles.

7 Ar Nosurge Plus: Ode To An Unborn Star Limited Edition - $299 🍎 🍌

Superior To The PS3 Version

Most PlayStation 3 games that came to the Vita were downgraded in one way or another. However, Ar Nosurge: Ode to an♉ Unborn Star got an enhanced plus version with various additions.

Since this is the superior version and the Vita port likely sold far less than the PS3 counterpart, the game demands a vastly 168澳洲幸运5开奖ꦗ网:more expenꦚsive price than the physical PS3 game. The base game alone costs over $200, but the Limited Edition that comes with a pin, poster, anꦍd stickers costs around $300.

6 𝔍 A.W.: Phoenix Festa - $550

The Rarest Asian English Game

It's unfortunate that many games are still 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:only released in Asian territories, or at best, only released physically there. Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 has to be the most famous example, but another game that only saw a physical launch in Asia is A.W.: Phoenix Festa. It's 🧸an okay action RPG, but interestingly, it's the rarest Asian English title on the Vita.

Most Asian English titles are a little expensive, but nothing close to $🍌550. This is due to an𝓡 extremely low print run. Note that this is the Asian English version, not the Japanese version. Asian English versions contain English language support, which is why they're always more valuable.

5 Hyp🐠erdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 Lim🌠ited Edition - $612

The Amazon Struggle

Unlike many rare Limited Editions on the PS Vita and PSP, where they're only $40-75 more expensive than the base game, Hyperdimeꦉnsion Neptunia Re;Birth1 breaks the mold. The regular physical copy is only $40, which means there's a very good reason why the Limited Editi𝓡on is over 15 times that amount.

The Limited Edition was sold exclusively on Amaz﷽on, and it sold out within minutes. There were only 1,000 LEs made, so you can imagine why it's so valuable, especially with a cult favorite series like Hyperdimension Neptunia.

4 ꧒ VVVVVV - $1,ও123

Over A Grand For A Classic Indie Game, And It's All Thanks To Nicalis

Nicalis made some huge mistakes regarding its physical launches on the Vita, and these games are one of the main reasons many won't finish their Vita collections. The first one is the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:2010 indie classic, VVVVVV. A phenomenal 2D platformer, the Vita physiꦗcal launch is the only physical version of the game.

However, it was never released, so why are people selling it? The truth is that these were promo copies sent to people at Sony, who then resold them online. The hole-punched back cover gives it away, as those only appear in promo copies. These rare Nicalis games have yet to be released officia꧂lly, making the demand even greater.

3 🦩 1001 Spikes - $1,499

Nicalis Strikes Again

Another rare Nicalis game is 1001 Spikes. Interestingly, an unreleased version was discovered for both the PS Vita and PS4. As you can imagine, the PS4 game is also 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:one of the rarest on the console. Whi𓆉le the PS4 versi🎃on is $885, the PS Vita copy will cost you nearly $1,500.

This price difference signals that there are far fewer copies out there for the Vita than for the PS4. Unlike the other two Nicalis rare Vita games, it seems like an official launch is finally underway in celebration of the game's tenth annivers🍎ary. If an official release happens, the price will drop slightly, but likely not much.

2 The Binding Of Isaꩲac: Rebirth - $4,000

The Rarest Nicalis Game

Completing the rare Nicalis Vita trilogy is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. It's valuable for the exact same reason as VVVVVV and 1001 Spikes, but it's significantly rarer t🔯o the point where collectors didn't even know for sure it existed until a copy was discovered.

That's how ungodly rare this game is. The ongoing theory as to why many copies ended up in Sony's hands is that they were sent for approval and must have been denied, considering these physica🍎l releases never happened. It's never been confirmed, but it makes a lot of sense.

1 💛 Revenge Of The Bird King - $7,692 🐼

A Broken Promise

Limited Run Games has the rarest Vita title out there, and it has quite an interes🔜ting backstory. Revenge of t൩he Bird King was supposed to be the final Limited Run Vita release as a completion bonus of sorts for anyone who bought the entire Limited Run Vita library.

It was a cool idea, but the plan was event🐬ually cancelled, disappointing many customers. However, a bunch of ܫcopies were already printed. Despite Limited Run Games being the only place that has these physical copies, some ended up getting out there in the wild, demanding outrageous prices.
