What made it especially valuable was that this copy came from the incredibly short production run of between late 1986 and the beginning of 1987, back before Nintendo added the trademark Game Pak NES-GP symbol to the NES on its game boxes. What an absolute idiot, you can buy the game for like $5 on the Nintendo eShop.Īnyway, the game had a 9.6 A+ grade, which is pretty much as close to new as you can get without having been in the actual factory where the box cover was pressed. The NES classic had previously sold for a whopping $114, 000 at auction, but this latest round of furious bidding saw the pristine condition game go for a ludicrous $660,000 at Heritage Auctions in Dallas. for example, as the classic Nintendo game didn’t just set a new world record for how much a video game could sell for, it completely smashed the previous one. Take an unopened copy of Super Mario Bros.
