Over the past week or two, physical copies of Cory in the House on Nintendo DS have started to skyrocket in value. Yes, the game based on the Disney Channel TV series of the same name has begun selling for prices of as much as $500 for sealed copies, while those that are CiB (complete in box) gone for $200 to $300. This trend isn’t a one-off, either, as there have been dozens of confirmed sales of Cory in the House on eBay alone in recent days. Prior to this boom, the game was only selling for anywhere between $5 and $12 as it was largely seen as shovelware.
Why Is This DS Game Increasing in Value?
So, why is this happening? Well, the brief answer is that Cory in the House has become the focal point of one of the first big memes of 2026. Many on the internet have jokingly labeled the Disney series as the “greatest anime” to ever come about. This memeing of the show has since spilled over to the video game, which has seen users on Metacritic boost its rating to make it one of the highest-rated games in the history of the website. Naturally, demand has also gone up for physical editions of the DS game, which has led many to capitalize on the situation by asking for hundreds of dollars for a copy. Surprisingly, some are willing to pay this much, which has led to plenty of confirmed sales.
