How Much Does a Complete Nintendo DS Set Cost?

The total market value of every Nintendo DS game we have a verified price for, in all three conditions. Totals use NTSC prices from real recorded sales and move with the market every day.

Loose

$18,661

1478 priced games · median $7.32

Complete in box

$28,327

1459 priced games · median $10.00

Sealed

$55,177

1457 priced games · median $19.00

Buying every Nintendo DS game complete in box would cost roughly $28,327 at today's prices across 1459 titles, an average of $19.42 per game. The median game costs $10.00, and 1140 titles still sell for under $20 — most of the budget goes to a handful of chase games.

In fact, the ten most expensive Nintendo DS games alone account for about 8% of the full set value.

What a "complete set" really means

Most collectors count the licensed retail releases for one region. Our totals cover every Nintendo DS game in our catalogue with a bot-verified market price, so they are a realistic buying budget rather than a theoretical list price. Variants, regional reprints and promotional discs are not included.

Loose totals are the cheapest way in and usually land at a fraction of the complete-in-box figure. Sealed totals are dominated by a few graded copies and are far less liquid — very few collectors ever complete a sealed set.
