About this game
Code of Princess is a side-scrolling hack-n-slash RPG from the director of Guardian Heroes .
As Tetsuhiko Kikuchi's influence is heavy here, the game is, in some ways, like a spiritual successor to the aforementioned Saturn title.

Code of Princess follows a typically "anime" plot about a princess whose kingdom is being overrun by monsters, and a motley crew of characters that meet and join together to overthrow the evil monsters and the reason the monsters are there.
Primary focus is on the character Solange as she wields a massive sword known as the deLuxcalibur, which is a sacred artifact of sorts for her kingdom.
She is joined by several other characters, most of whom are playable in the story mode of the game.
Each stage is a fairly straight-forward side-scrolling affair more focused on intense combat than any amount of exploration.
Each character uses the same basic controls, but all are played very differently.
Many combat moves are performed in a style similar to a fighting game, such as pressing down, towards, and the A or B button.
Players may typically move between 2-4 planes of action on the stage moving forward or back in the 3D space, and doing so is often part of the strategy of moving through levels.
Typically, a note at the top of the screen will give the current objective for the level or individual wave during the level, such as "defeat all enemies," "defeat the boss" (which makes the other enemies more of a distraction), "save a villager," or even simply to survive for a set period of time.
Since levels and missions tend not be be very long they are very numerous and players will find themselves leveling up frequently.
Each level allows the player to assign skill points (generally 5 points) to any of six attributes: Vitality (life), Piety (maximum magic), Attack, Defense, Mind (magic strength), and Speed.
Various status effects may affect the player throughout the game as well including burning, shock, stone, dark (draining magic), or poison.
About Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo 3DS (2011) added glasses-free stereoscopic 3D and a second analog input to Nintendo's handheld line, eventually building a library that rivaled the DS in size and quality. Because the eShop for digital purchases has since closed, physical 3DS cartridges are the only way to preserve access to many titles — a dynamic that's pushing more collectors toward cartridge-based copies even for games that were originally digital-first.
Gamevaro tracks Code of Princess for Nintendo 3DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Code of Princess to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This 3DS release dates back to 2012.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Code of Princess, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo 3DS titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
