Nintendo Switch · 2015
About this game
RPG Maker MV is a single-player role-playing game creation tool that allows players to design, build, and share their own role-playing games.
The player takes on the role of designer, creating a game and shaping a world by placing maps, characters, enemies, and events.

Games built with the software can range from small stories to large-scale adventures, with the designer determining objectives, quests, and progression.
Much of the experience/system revolves around a tile-based map editor, where towns, dungeons, and overworlds are assembled from preset tilesets.
Characters are assigned attributes such as hit points, attack power, and skills.
Enemies are configured in the same way, allowing the creator to determine combat encounters.
The built-in database organizes items, equipment, and spells, all of which can be customized or replaced.
Combat in the games made with RPG Maker MV follows a traditional turn-based role-playing system.
Battles present party members and enemies in a menu-driven interface where players select attacks, magic, or items.
The creator can choose the party size, skill progression, and battle balance.
Random encounters and scripted battles are both supported, with placement determined by the designer.
Characters can level up and gain new abilities based on defined parameters.
Quests can be scripted with branching paths, optional objectives, and rewards.
Inventory management mirrors classic role-playing conventions, with limits and item effects controlled through the database.
Dialogue boxes, cutscenes, and branching choices can be arranged through the event editor, enabling moral decisions, puzzles, or alternate endings.
RPG Maker MV supports both mouse and keyboard controls for editing on PC, while console versions adapt the interface for gamepad navigation.
Cross-platform functionality is limited: games made on PC cannot be transferred directly to console versions, though a separate “Player” application allows for distribution of PC-made projec
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 RPG Maker MV 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 RPG Maker MV 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 2015.

Market insights
Rarity & condition

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.
