Skygunner

Ignored upon release, but with an amazing sense of style, some stunning aerial combat and some geniunely excellent AI. Give it 5 more years, and people will be fighting for copies.

Tales of Symphonia.

I know some people weren't really taken by it, but I loved every second. Gorgeous graphical style, effective and intuitive battle system, fantastic music and a great, feel-good story!

I'm hoping Ninja Gaiden will be forgotten about. I was so dissapointed by it, bland bland bland.

I really liked elements of Jet Set Radio Future but the structure of the game was god awful. It's often next to impossible to work out what you should be doing next. Well it was for me anyway, the challange should be the gameplay not in the horrible level structure. A simplistic game such as this really should be linear, and if not the objectives should be clearly signposted.

Gun Valkyrie may become a future classic as it was virtually igonored upon release. Even though it's basically 3rd person action shooter, there doesn't seem to any other games that play the same way.

Donkey kong jungle beat
Zelda WW
monkey ball
metroid prime 2
pikmin
smash bros melee
chibi robo
Re 4

How can something be a classic when its not out yet and you haven't played it yet? MK: DD will NEVER be a modern classic as it has so many flaws its untrue read the IGN review it pretty much sums it up for me.

what titles (if any) may become collectable or at least more sought after.

It's hard to say really, but history tells us that shooting games always stand a chance since they age more gracefully and remain sought-after despite newer games/consoles. Check out the pricey/hard to find stuff on other consoles, and it's mostly shooters, arcade-style games, or weird/unique stuff.

Dodonpachi Dai-Ou-Jou is already quite pricey and becoming harder to find new/sealed. I'd say this has a chance of emulating it's Saturn/PS cousins and becoming a "retro" classic. EspGaluda is also becoming harder to find and might follow suit.

Special Capture/Sound Box versions of Psyvariar are also quite hard to find and already command decent money.

Final Fantasy X International (Japan version with additional DVD) can still be found new/sealed with relative ease, but at a price. Which will possibly increase even further once store copies are out of circulation.

More obscure stuff like the Shareholder's versions of MGS2 & 3 and the Special Disc from the MGS Twin Snakes Bundle are bound to be sought-after for years too as there's a legion of Metal Gear collectors out there.

Most Gamecube games can be found easily, even brand new, but not the Club Nintendo Zelda Collection. I can see that becoming one of the holy grails for GC collectors.

Gradius Generation (JPN GBA) - I found it almost impossible to find a couple of years ago.

Highly-rated Japanese-only games that were released in small-ish numbers and didn't get a "Best" re-release will also do quite well I think.

Viewtiful joe is already a classic in my eyes

[chopemon]

i think vice city will be considered a classic even though i'm not a fan, i think it will achieve that status

i'd like to think that prince of persia sands of time becomes a classic along with metal gear solid 2 and 3
