About this game

Take on the role of a doctor on this unique title for the Nintendo DS.

Derek Stiles, a young doctor who has just started at Hope Hospital.

Things start off rather normally for the doctor, but he soon discovers that he has a special talent called the 'healing touch'.

This talent allows him to slow down time to perform surgical procedures much faster than normal.

However, a new epidemic begins to appear, and Dr.

Stiles will need to be lightning-fast as well as accurate to save his patients' lives! Trauma Center is almost entirely played with the stylus.

Stiles' tools are used with the stylus, whether it be the suture, the scalpel, the drain, or the syringe.

Quick and accurate response to the medical procedures will keep your patients healthy, but you'll also need to be prepared for unexpected events that can turn an almost finished operation on its head.

The game is surprisingly difficult, and seems to hail back to challenge of the Super NES era.

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 Trauma Center: Under the Knife 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 Trauma Center: Under the Knife 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 2006.
