The most valuable graded Nintendo 3DS game is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, with a VGA 100 copy realizing $16,800 at Heritage Auctions. Below are the top 10 Nintendo 3DS games ranked by real graded sold prices — not estimates.
Every figure here comes from the sold archives of Heritage Auctions and Goldin — actual prices realized (buyer’s premium included) for graded Nintendo 3DS games, not catalog multipliers.

Each game links to its full price + population breakdown.

How These Rankings Are Built
There is no estimating here. We index every graded Nintendo 3DS game that has sold through Heritage Auctions and Goldin, group sales by grader and grade, and rank by the highest representative realized price. PriceCharting’s per-grade video-game figures are derived multipliers and are not used for these rankings — only the auction houses’ actual prices realized are.
