Lufia - The Ruins of Lore (GBA) price, value & rarity
The final entry in the Lufia/Estpolis line, released in the United States by Atlus, a publisher whose GBA catalogue is itself prized. A spiritual successor to the Super Nintendo RPGs, it draws retro J-RPG fans seeking to complete the series on handheld. Its limited US print run and the particular aura around Atlus releases support a firm value, independent of its lukewarm reception at the time.
