Super Mario Bros Nintendo Game From 1985 Sold for $2 Million in a New Record

[lightbright]

Super Mario Bros game series, first released in the year 1985, was intended for Nintendo's original gaming console.

Rally reportedly bought the Super Mario 1985 game in April last year for $140,000

An anonymous buyer has paid $2 million (roughly Rs. 14.84 crores) to buy an unopened copy of Super Mario Bros, a game that had become wildly popular at the turn of this century and still commands a dedicated following. The astonishing sale price of the 1985 game intended for Nintendo's original console broke a record that was set just a month ago when a sealed copy of Super Mario 64 was auctioned for $1.56 million (roughly Rs. 11.58 crores). The latest record is the highest price paid for a video game of any title, according to collectibles website Rally.



The record for the most expensive video games has been broken several times over the past year. In July last year, a copy of Super Mario had sold for $114,000 (Rs. 84.65 lakhs) at an auction. In November, another copy was auctioned for $156,000 (Rs. 1.15 crores). That record was broken in April this year at $660,000 (Rs. 4.90 crores).

In July this year, a copy of The Legend of Zelda fetched $870,000 (Rs. 6.45 crores).

While most games that fetched a huge price were auctioned, the sale of SuperMario 1985 took place on a slightly different system. Rally, the website, buys items and invites people to invest in shares of those items. The investors then get a say on whether to hold or sell when an offer comes for the item.

The New York Times, which first reported the record sale price, said Rally had bought the Super Mario 1985 game in April last year for $140,000 (Rs. 1.03 crores). It also reported that investors had passed on a $300,000 (Rs. 2.22 crores) offer later in 2020. A graduate student who spoke to the publication said he invested $100 (Rs. 7,423) in shares of the game and made $950 (Rs. 70,518) from the sale.

The Super Mario Bros game series, first released in the year 1985, was created by Nintendo.

Last July a copy went for $114,000
A different game then sold for $156,000
Then Zelda went for $870,000
A month ago Marion 64 went for $1,500,000

Hey, Butt Plug, you also up here monitoring the highest your faggot ass can get for your homemade, handcrafted dildo.

From a collectors point of view I can dig it.

From a logical point of view? Wtf why would they spend that on a game that's available across ALL platforms for free?

Also, this will fuck everyone who's trying to make a sell or buy.

Same thing happened when those Logan losers bought the 1999 Gen 1 Pokémon box and sold the Charizrd they pulled for some millions.

Prompting a bunch of fuckheads who never played Pokémon to go buy up all the shelves of card boxes in hopes of pulling that card.

End result? 3rd market quadrupled their prices and places like Walmart, Target, and several shops told everyone to fuck off and stopped selling cards for a min.

And the "faggease" flows fluently out of your mouth.... seemingly from nowhere.... all triggered by mention of a video game selling for $2.000,00.... angered cause no Mega Tranny games ever sold for more than .99 in the ,99 cent bin

First unopened and unused copies.... and only one found with a certain type of package in exceptionable condition... it was only packaged that way for like a couple of weeks or a month

Man you can absolutely recreate that exact packaging with today's technology.

The value of it is over inflated especially for Mario.

Had it been a lesser known title like say Mother (which didn't even make it to America but Mother 2 did) which is almost impossible to find in its original packaging then I'd understand.

And Capcom has recreated the SFII cartridge several times

And Capcom has recreated the SFII cartridge several times

But those wouldn't be a fake if Nintendo recreated them.

Just think that price if d ridiculous.

As far as fakes go, replicas can look like the original with no flaws and even make the original look like the fake.

We see this with merch like shoes and shirts

And like with merch and shirts..... there are always ways of telling.... just like baseball cards and comic books.... there are ways of testing authenticity.... right down to checking the age of the packaging..... and unless you got some plastic from almost 40 years ago to repackage it
