However, even though some of the retro market has cooled over the last year, this particular release has seen an eBay sale for more than double Gladius’s price in just 9 months when it sold for over $3400 USD in December 2022. At the time, it was viewed as paying well above the “going rate” and he admitted that he “should have bought it” a few years prior for the $700. The game garnered extra attention back in March of 2022 when Reddit user Gladius paid $1600 for a copy to complete his North American 3DS collection. Once US-based 3DS collectors caught onto this, they started paying up for copies to increase their chances of having a complete North American set.

And while the Nintendo DS cases are much more durable and useful than the cardboard boxes for the Game Boy lineup, a lot of DS cases have been discarded by the likes of GameStop stores that have policy do scrapping cases before selling the games (sad, but true). While some of these games are still hard to find as a bare cartridge, the real premium is on complete copies. The low range on these listings are for cartridge-only games. You may notice some of the high-ranking rarities had relatively low prices on the low end of the spectrum. While some of the prices in these games might be a bit surprising, some of the more rare games might just rise strongly from here, if history is any guide. The Nintendo 3DS may not have been far removed from the mainline retail scene, but collectors are already starting to target the hidden gems and the harder-to-obtain releases to fill in their collection ( but there are also some affordable gems). ![]() The Rarest and Most Valuable Nintendo 3DS Games
