The unopened 1996 video game sold for record-breaking $1.56 million USD
The unopened copy of Nintendo’s Super Mario 64 smashed through records. Heritage Auctions sold the boxed cartridge for a whopping $1.56 million USD.
This broke the sales record for the highest price on a single video game ever. The incredibly popular 1996 video game was a best-selling title on Nintendo’s 64 console.
The release of Super Mario 64 gave gamers the ability to see 3D graphics from their homes for the first time ever.
Another rare Nintendo game almost cracks a million
The record-breaking sale comes off the back of another rare Nintendo titles selling last week. The unopened copy of Nintendo’s original Legend of Zelda sold for $US 870,000 or $1.2 million AUD.
So it might be worth checking the attic for any old game cartridges you might have lying around!
