The Super Mario 64 cartridge sells at auctions to break a record $ 1.5 million

On Friday, it was announced that a new game cartridge auction record was set with the sale of Zelda’s legend for NES at $ 870,000. Now, just two days later, the note has been violated with a auction of other high figures, which involves a copy of Super Mario 64 which has not been opened previously today.

The auction was carried out by inheritance auction, which reported that Super Mario copies that have not been opened for Nintendo 64 are sold at a massive price of $ 1,560,000. It was about doubled the previous number of records held by the legend of the Zelda auction that ended last Friday.

The sealed cartridge sold at auction is the 1996 version of Super Mario 64 rated on quality ++. “The condition of this copy is amazing so we are really confused here,” said the auction house in the product description. Though copy of this game is not too rare, it is very unusual to find a pure version that has never been opened.

Super Mario 64 is a famous game for various reasons; Not only that is the title that determines the childhood of Millennials, it is also the top sales title offered on the iconic Nintendo 64 console and fans must first experience Mario’s character in a 3D environment. Maybe there is no surprise, then someone is willing to pay a big figure for a video game a very rare video game.

Even so, the sales figure is still much higher than the same past items we have ever seen. It seems that the value of high-quality retro game cartridges has skyrocketed over the past few years, at least when it comes to the collection market. If you have a classic game that doesn’t slip and not deleted still sitting in a box somewhere, now maybe time to clean it and see what value is.
