Pétanque Pro

Claiming to be the first-ever pétanque video game, Pétanque Pro is the rare video game simulating the French sport of pétanque, a game similar to lawn bowling or bocce in which players must throw or roll boules (balls) closer to the target ball than their opponents.

With support for 1-2 players, the game features three playing fields -- a village, a garden, and a covered stadium -- along with tournament and quick game modes.

Launched in 2006, the Wii's motion controls (Wii Remote) brought casual and non-traditional players into console gaming at a scale no prior system had achieved, making it one of the best-selling consoles ever. Because so many Wii units sold with bundled software like Wii Sports, the bulk of the library is inexpensive to collect — but it also means truly rare Wii titles (often niche Japanese-only releases) stand out sharply from the norm.

Gamevaro tracks Pétanque Pro for Nintendo Wii 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 Pétanque Pro 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 WII release dates back to 2009.

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Pétanque Pro, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Wii 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.
