When he goes missing, Nicole must find the scattered pieces of the key around the world.

The Mystery of the Crystal Portal is a hidden object that replaces the traditional list of objects names with a different gameplay mechanic.

The player has to click on certain objects in the scenery that open a circle around it with photographs of items that must be found and dragged to it.

After picking all the required stuff, some of these container objects disappear to reveal a key item underneath them.

Some of the objects have to be collected in one screen to be used in another place (for example, finding matches outside the house to light a fireplace inside).

At the end of each stage/location there's a unique logic puzzle game to be solved, involving some of the objects that the player picked up.

About Nintendo Switch

Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.

Gamevaro tracks Portal for Nintendo Switch 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 Portal 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 NSW release dates back to 2007.

Rarity & condition

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Portal, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Switch 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.
