Rakugakids
Nintendo 64 · 1998
About this game
It was school holidays, and the Twinkle gang of schoolkids sailed to an island where they found a cave with crayons hidden inside.
They split them among the group, but before they had finished, a bully came and stole the pack along with the last two crayons! He drew a mischievous-looking character, who came to life and said "Let's cause trouble!" Twinkle Town was terrified of the bully and his crayon character, so the Twinkle gang decided to draw their own superheroes to stop the bully! Rakugakids is a 2D fighting game, similar to Marvel Vs.

You select from a variety of hand-drawn cartoon characters, and fight using low, middle and high punches and kicks.
As you'd expect with this type of game, special button combinations yield special, more powerful moves.
There is also a 'crayon meter' that fills the more you attack your opponent - when it is completely filled, you can pull off a devastating special move.
The kids' characters are a lively bunch, full of an assortment of crazy moves.
There's Robot C.H.O., who is a robot that turns into different metal objects on the fly, such as a car, garbage can, rocket, and more.
There's BearTank, which is a green teddy bear with gun turrets on it.
Captain.Cat.Kit is a DJ cat with slick basketball moves who also attacks with a variety of musical instruments.
An interesting feature of Rakugakids is that Story Mode can be played by using "Training Mode".
In this mode, you select a character, and train them up by playing matches against any character you like.
It is beneficial to train more, because you can choose to play Story Mode in 'Battle Mode'.
This mode automatically plays the game for you using your trained up character.
If you've trained enough, your character will react to opponent attacks in the same way that you yourself would.
About Nintendo 64
The Nintendo 64 (1996) stuck with cartridges after most competitors moved to CDs, trading longer load times for near-instant game access and durability that's held up well over nearly three decades. N64 cartridges are largely intact and functional today, and while common titles are affordable, several late-release and multiplayer-focused games with smaller print runs have become firmly established as valuable collector pieces.
Gamevaro tracks Rakugakids for Nintendo 64 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Rakugakids to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This N64 release dates back to 1998.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Rakugakids, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo 64 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
