Most Valuable Nintendo DS Games

The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.

This list shows the most valuable Nintendo DS games based on current loose market prices sourced from eBay. Values are updated regularly and reflect real collector transactions. CIB (Complete in Box) values are typically 2–5× higher than loose prices.

Ranking by loose price surfaces a different set of standout titles than ranking by collector demand — a game can be genuinely valuable on the resale market without being widely collected, or the other way around, especially on a smaller-library platform like NDS where a handful of scarce releases can dominate the top of the value chart.
