Why these Nintendo Entertainment System games are so valuable
Value on the Nintendo Entertainment System is driven by three things: small print runs late in the system's life, how many copies survived complete with box and manual, and pure franchise demand. Complete-in-box copies almost always command a large premium over loose ones, and sealed copies sit in a market of their own.
PAL collectors face a different market. Several titles never left North America, while some European exclusives are far scarcer than their US counterparts. Switch the NTSC / PAL toggle in the header to see prices for your region.
