  • The Nintendo 3DS is Nintendo's last dedicated handheld and with the shutdown of the eShop in April of 2023 a lot of people assumed that the physical game prices would continue to increase over time.
    But what happened was completely different. Some games dropped 20 percent or more and only a handful of games increased in value. Why? Let's take a look

    What do you think about 3ds prices? Are you surprised?

      Super surprised that 3DS hadn’t taken off…. But then again it already had a massive bump even before the eshop closed.

    I’d be interested in seeing you do a video about the entire market, touching on highlights from several libraries. I feel like the entire market is cooling, stores are paying less for trade ins, and inventory seems to be plentiful and slow-moving it would be interesting to try to quantify this with statistics

    The prices were so high within the month of shutdown because people were panic buying 😂 i remember fire emblem fates special edition being sold for almost 1k.

    I am watching the market and I feel that there is a cooling off point. I am seeing a divide on ebay between sellers some sell the game for a high price (probably cause they bought it for a high price/ some selling the same game for normal amounts) With what you showed us in this video is that there is something going on where the games are going down but the systems are still some what high, overall you did an amazing job on this video and I think it would be great to see where the prices go at this point.

      ​@SuperNicktendo I own an O3DS, it does not (tho just don't use any SD cards larger than 128 GB to ensure you won't have added lag and compatability issues... and this applies to stock systems too, old or new)

    It really sucks that online modes is getting shutdown so soon, especially for the 3DS. It has way more online games than the Wii U & it's still easy to find people playing online in a lot of games.

    The one game I am genuinely surprised at was superstar saga. I thought it was going to end up in the range of Dragon Quest in pricing. I already have the game but its good I was wrong or those that have been waiting to get a copy
    Makes me glad that such a good handful of games have dropped. Gives me hope to continue my 3ds collecting

    My favorite game of all time is 3D Land. The diorama like levels were so charming and wonderful.
    I think Cubic Ninja increased in price because for a short time non *New 3DS consoles could only be modded through hardware modification, due to an update Nintendo released in spring. I think a work around has now been found though. Perhaps people were looking for a way to use Cubic Ninja again hack non *New 3DS consoles.
