What makes one worth more?

Loose cartridge or disc vs. complete in box: the box and manual can add as much as the game itself, so say which you have. Authentic vs. reproduction: popular titles are widely faked. Check the label print, the board inside, and the screws. Region: a US game sells to US buyers. Japanese and PAL copies are a different market and usually sell for less here.

How much are SNES games worth?

Q: How much are SNES games worth?

It depends on the exact model and condition. Recent eBay sales put common ones between $11 and $455; for example, EarthBound SNES cartridge at $336–$455, Chrono Trigger SNES cartridge at $225–$305, Super Metroid SNES cartridge at $85–$115.

Prices from recent eBay sales, updated 2026-11-09

Super Nintendo games range from a few dollars for the sports titles to several hundred for the RPGs collectors chase - EarthBound, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy III. Save batteries from the 1990s are dying, and a cartridge that still saves is worth more than one that does not. Here is what the common ones sold for recently, cartridge only unless the page says otherwise.

How to find out what yours is worth

Read the label for the exact title and check it is the US (NTSC) version; Super Famicom carts are a different shape and a different market.
Check it is authentic, especially for the RPGs: a real cart has the Nintendo seal, a stamped label number and a molded code on the back.
Turn it on and save a game. A working save battery adds to the price; a replaced one, noted honestly, is fine too.
Decide whether you are selling the cartridge alone or complete in box, and look up sold prices for that, or Guestimate it from a photo.

Tested and working, with a clean label, sells above "untested". Old save batteries in some games run dry, and buyers know it.
