'Super Mario 64' Sold at Auction, for a Record-Breaking $1.5 Million.
CNN Style reports that the record
breaking sale was made by
Dallas-based auction house Heritage.
Heritage said the previous record had been set just two days earlier, when another Nintendo game, 'The Legend of Zelda,' sold for $870,000.
'Super Mario 64' was originally released in 1996.
After the record-breaking sale
of the first game in the Zelda
series on Friday, the possibility
of surpassing $1 million on
a single video game seemed
like a goal that would need
to wait for another auction, Valarie McLeckie, Heritage Auctions video games specialist, via CNN Style.
We were shocked to see that it
turned out to be in the same one!
We are proud to have been
a part of this historic event, Valarie McLeckie, Heritage Auctions video games specialist, via CNN Style.
The game that was sold was still sealed.
Video game grading company WataGames gave the pristine copy the highest A++ grade.
