About this game
The mobile version of the original Dragon Quest role-playing game is the first standalone release of the game since the original version.
It is based around the graphical style of the Super Famicom version of Dragon Quest III and features a more streamlined menu interface and changes to experience points and gold received from monsters to make the game more accessible.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies for Nintendo DS 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 Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies 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 NDS release dates back to 2010.
