Most Valuable Nintendo Entertainment System Games
Top 25 most expensive NES games by loose market value — prices from real eBay sales
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
This list shows the most valuable Nintendo Entertainment System games based on current loose market prices sourced from eBay. Values are updated regularly and reflect real collector transactions. CIB (Complete in Box) values are typically 2–5× higher than loose prices.
